1. given that (in my opinion, obviously) gwb should not be reelected, the saddam capture could have some pretty bad repercussions on the eventual election. that being, that dean, the current dem forerunner, is vehemently anti-war, which the masses interpret as "we should not have gone into iraq." hence, the leg upon which he is standing has just gotten weaker. it is my belief that dean has the best chance in the presidential election of energizing the country to vote for him and not gwb. hence, if the saddam capture winds up costing him the nomination, we may (and i realize there's a lot of ifs in this argument) indeed be stuck with GWB for another four years.
2. i just have to defend the ani quotes:
a. gwb may technically BE president, but if he had run an ethical/moral campaign which didn't involve jeb ensuring the win of florida by preventing hundreds of people from voting, he would not be. hence her point.
b. democracy, a la webster: 1 a : government by the people; especially : rule of the majority b : a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections 2 : a political unit that has a democratic government 3 capitalized : the principles and policies of the Democratic party in the U.S. 4 : the common people especially when constituting the source of political authority 5 : the absence of hereditary or arbitrary class distinctions or privileges
My point on democracy is that we are living in a country where, like it or not, people who have the right and will to vote simply could not. jeb's regime gave orders to forbid people to vote if they even had the same last name as folks who had been incarcerated. the polls were blocked, people were systematically intimidated, and don't even get me started on the ballot (which, whether or not it was intentional, was still an infraction on democracy).
c. the media, aka fox news, abc, cnn, nbc, etc. The companies are all owned by the same four umbrella firms, who also own enormous corporations. hence, the media will not report issues/events which might hurt their interests in other areas. see WST 150.
3. I have been so tempted to say i wouldn’t mind having Bush re-elected. I don’t think i know enough about his policies to say that, though.
I beg you to reexamine the past years of GWB's reign, and further examine his policies. The repercussions that his adminstration has had can be felt at the national, state, and local level. See school funding, health funding, welfare, social security, human rights, the patriot act, separation of church and state, etc.
