Why Not Free The World? Think of the possibilities...
Edited on Fri Jan-21-05 04:28 PM by DistressedAmerican
Only in a free world can we bargain for cut rate oil prices. Cut rate for HalliBushCo. Inc. that is.

I'm not sure what the discount works out to per soldier killer and maimed but, I'm sure it is plenty to line the family pockets for Jeb's 2008 run. Hey maybe he'll pick Cheney again. There's a nightmare scenario!

Squinty Mo'Fo'!

1. Well as long as we're into globalism, maybe a world election for the US
presidency? Think of the possibilities.

2. I'm pretty sure we would win that one!
The world is chock full of Blue states that can't wait to make a change. The primary system would be a mess but, well worth it.

On the otherhand, if they stole it again we'd really be hosed. "The people will have spoken" after all! Yikes!

It would eliminate the debate over foreign oil once and for all. It would ALL be domestic.

5. Hell its what they're doing with the Iraqi's
Set up whole voting places throughout the world for Iraqi's to vote. Imagine if the Dem's did that. Set up places for people in other countries to vote for our candidates. Not that in the real world their votes would count but as I said, imagine the possibilities....

4. I couldn't agree more!
An oldie (pre-election) but, clearly still appropriate.

7. We will free them of their fossil fuel.
You think a bunch of people around the world are sitting there waiting for Bush to free them?

What is really happening is they are arming themselves just in case he attacks them.
