Predictions requested -- What If The Democrats Win In Nov? |
Well, what happens?
What will they do?
Will they attempt to impeach a sitting 'War President'?
Will there be a proper look into the handling of pre-war intelligence
such as that used from 'Curveball' and Chalabi?
Will they look at war profiteering by no-bid contractors and others?
Will there be some oversight on signing statements?
Well??
It's Friday -- it's Thanksgiving Weekend in Canuckistan, a long
weekend! Heading out on a roadtrip tomorrow to see the outlaws and eat
and drink.
Cheers!

It'll be business as usual. There might be some 'show investigations' that
will be a pap to the population with nothing substantive coming out of
them. The Dems are just as bought and paid for as the Repugs, and the
Corporates call the shots.

Good question. Wouldn't it be nice if they'd tell us? In 1994, the
Republicans offered their "Contract with America." They spelled out
exactly what they'd do, starting from day one. There was no need to ask
the question "what will they do?"

Who cares what they do ? Any leash on the corrupt Bush regime
is better than no leash at all.
All I really need to know in order to vote for a particular
candidate this November is that he/she has NOT affiliated
with the Republicans.

Are you on crack, or what?
Here's the contract:
http://www.house.gov/house/Contract/CONTRACT.html
Even things the things the had Democratic support for --
like the line item veto Clinton endorsed 100% -- the GOP
REFUSED to act on.
I mean, damn! It's one thing to be stupid enough to have
taken the contract serious back then, but it's quite
another to take it serious even after history has proven it
was nothing more than empty rhetoric.

Yes, and can't safely drive the streets of Baghdad, has to be helicoptered
to travel even minutes away. Has to leave on a military aircraft with
anti-missile gear on board.
3 1/2 years in Iraq and the Incompetent Invaders are running around with
their tails between their legs. Spiraling out of control? I wonder what
event will trigger the ordering the Viet Nam style evacuation of Iraq. With
140,000 American hostages there.

Why don't the Democrats have something like this to point to? They have
nothing positive. all they have is negativity. Some winning platform,
though it may work in the short term.
Even things the things the had Democratic support for --

Hey, ignoranmous clown troll -- Congress not only acted on it, they
sent it to Clinton for his signature, and he signed it!!! Then the
Supreme Court struck it down. Everyone, including Clinton, was
disappointed.

Take a hike, ignoranmous. You're worse than Woods when it comes to
being simply factually incorrect. I'll be even Woods was knowledgable
enough (unlike you, silly troll) to know that Congress and Clinton had
worked together to get the line item veto done, only to have it struck
down by the Supreme Court.

P.S.
On the line item veto, some idiot said:

Duh.
So that means the job required a constitutional amendment.
Well, guess what? The Republicans had done no more than
the Democrats had already done. The 102nd congress (with
the Democrats in control) voted on a line item veto amendment,
years before the Marketing experts told Newt that the idea
would sell.
Everyone, including Clinton, was disappointed.
But not surprised. They already knew it would require a
constitutional amendment BUT NEVER INTRODUCED
ONE.
Get it? Even just a little? Knowing they needed a constitutional
amendment, despite signing a contract promising to fight for
one, no line item veto amendment would be proposed again
(after the Democratic 102nd congress) until the 109th congress.
Do the math. Two years for each congress.... line item veto
amendment was introduced by the 102nd congress... the
contract took effect starting with the 105th congress... it wasn't
until the 109th congress before the necessary amendment was
again introduced.
Newt's "Contract with America" was a scam, a joke played on
the voters, a marketing scheme. And, yeah, you fell for it.

What scam, you Purse-eyed scad? They put forth a positive agenda, and
they followed through on it. I'd like to see the Democrats put forth a

Congress to find out what they're going to do with their newfound
power. Should be interesting.

Sort of like the unimaginable prosperity we saw during Clinton's

I certainly hope that happens, if only to reign-in the King of Terror

Actually, ignoramous, the Congress and Clinton believed there was a way
to do it without an amendment. They thought Congress could pass a
statute that would give away some of its Constitutional authority to
the Executive branch, but the Supreme Court said no. Of course, at one
time Congress also believed it could pass a statute to restrict
Executive branch Constitutional authority (the FISA statute). Now take
a hike, troll.

No. Not at all. You know for a fact that the Republicans
weren't serious, because they didn't even attempt what
was necessary. Even if you want to pretend that they
thought they could do it without a constitutional amendment,
they found out (according to your fantasy) that they couldn't.
They found out, according to your fairytale, that they needed
a constitutional amendments, and they never bothered.
There would eventually be an attempt under the Republicans,
but not until long after Newt and his fake contract was gone.
2005, to be exact.

There is absolutely NOTHING positive to say about the

And, no, this isn't just someone's opinion. That history

to impliment their "contract."

All I'm seeing here are your lies. In 1995, the House of
Representatives brought each item from the Contract with America to a
vote. It all happened in the first 100 days, as promised. I don't

Because they certainly had a majority.

No, Clinton was not one of the ten points described in the Contract

You keep bringing that up. The Independent Counsel law was the idea of
Democrats. They figured it would be used to investigate Republican
administrations, never thinking it could happen to one of their own.
After all, Jimmy Carter was President when they enacted that law. When
Clinton was elected, he promised: "Mine will be the most ethical
administration in the history of the republic!"

The Republicans didn't run the Independent Counsel's office. The
structure of the law (created by Democrats) was to give all that
authority to one individual who was independent of any political
influence. When the Independent Counsel law came up for renewal a few
years ago, it was instead allowed to expire. But there are still
situations that call for independent prosecutors within the Department
of Justice. The name Fitzgerald comes to mind.

From a Canadian perspective --
When I was 11 my grandfather watched nothing but the Watergate hearings.
Although I didn't grasp the significance of much of it at the time I
do recall John Dean being an important figure.
Ford I remember falling down a lot.
Carter it was Camp David Peace Accord. And the Iran rescue mission which
failed. And 'Billy Beer'.
Reagan it was deficit spending and rumours of his mental health. The
Evil Empire. Star Wars. Grenada. And the war on drugs. Letters written
by him and recently released apparently dispel those rumours of his
intellectual depth tho.
Bush Sr. it was Gulf War 1, which they did an admirable job getting
international cooperation on. And 'Read my lips ..'
Clinton it was Health Care Reform, Budget surplus, strong economy, Paula
Jones, and Monica. I saw the 'Monica thing' as a low point in U.S.
politics -- partisanship at it's worst. It made the O.J. Simpson circus
look intelligent in comparison. Kennedy screwed around or was assumed to
but no one made anything of it. I saw the Republican self-righteousness
as distasteful -- Gingrich walked out on his wife for a younger woman
while she was in hospital recovering from cancer surgery. In my view,
the Republican party has never recovered any sense of decency since then.
Bush Jr. -- 9-11, Afghanistan and Iraq. The latest torture and unlimited
detention without the right to appeal or protest one's detention is a
mind-boggling low point in history.
Although each had their good points and bad points, Bush Jr. has done
such a disasterously bad job, he's made each and everyone of the
previous presidents I can remember look like great statesmen in comparison.
Cheers!

No.

a proper look? lol

No.
Will there be some oversight on signing statements?
Maybe.
Well??
The Demos, largely controlled by the Jewish contigent in the Senate
will stay the course in Iraq. If anything, they will send even
more troops over there to try to control the country (I think
the pre-war estimate was 3x what they currently have).
Thanks to even more violent uprisings, the U.S. will
lose 3x as many troops under the Democratic
administration than under Bush.
The Dems, however, instead of lowering taxes on the rich
will raise taxes on the poor and middle classes in order
to pay for the obscene military spending and war profiteering.
If the Dems make any kind of attempt to withdraw troops,
we will be victimized by another fake terrorist attack, and
Civil war will start in Iraq. By the end of the Democratic
tenure, the country will be in the worst economic crisis
since the great depression.
I know this is true because Aristenna told me so.

Ignoring the imaginary war, I doubt it. The Republicans
tried to impeach Clinton, and lost to House leaders in
the process.

When the Democrats last held congress they investigated
Democrats more than the Republicans investigated
EVERYONE.
So, yeah, I expect to return to the days when congress
conducted actual oversight.
Will they look at war profiteering by no-bid contractors
and others?
I hope so.

I hope so.
Well??
The honest answer: It depends. They could take both
houses and still not have the power to do half of what
they'd like to.
Sure, if they held a 40 seat majority in the house they
could get a lot done, but not in the way of laws if the
Senate is Republican.
There's also just regular business to deal with.

Well, what happens?
What will they do?
Will they attempt to impeach a sitting 'War President'?
I doubt it, that would risk losing in 2008. Besides, it would continue
the polarization of the country that the neoCons started in the late 90s.
Enough is enough of that crap.
Will there be a proper look into the handling of pre-war intelligence
such as that used from 'Curveball' and Chalabi?
I think we'll see some laws removed, and Bush hamstrung as a lame duck
president.
Will they look at war profiteering by no-bid contractors and others?
Will there be some oversight on signing statements?
Well??
I think we may see some contracts canceled, and investigations into some
of the winners of those no-bid contracts.
It's Friday -- it's Thanksgiving Weekend in Canuckistan, a long weekend!
Heading out on a roadtrip tomorrow to see the outlaws and eat and drink.
Oh, I can't believe I forgot it's Thanksgiving up your way - Happy
Thanksgiving!!! I have to say, it's a much more sensible time for
thanksgiving than the end of November is, when everything is dead, dead,
dead.
Can you believe we're celebrating Columbus Day? Kind of like celebrating
Hitler Day .... kind of embarrassing, actually.
