this is big. In the last two days the face and course of this country has changed. Hope it's for the best.

yeah glad he stepped down

[gloryaccordy]

I'm surprised there weren't any other threads on this. The Dems have the whole Congress and Bush looks a hot mess in any television appearance he's made.

This is the ultimate test for the Dems. Are they any better than the Rebublicans? It's time for them to put their money where their mouths are.

Oh how very true that is. Here in Kansas our Democrat governor was just reelcted, the Attorney General is now a Democrat and my districts senator is still a Democrat. Missouri's big senate seat formerly held by Republican Jim Talent was won over by Democrat Claire McCaskill. I know McCaskill spent millions of dollars to get her name out there and tell everyone in MO in her opinion how horrible Talent is as a senator. It obiviously worked. But like was said above, "It's time for them to put their money where their mouths are." Should be interesting to see. Later

Yeah I heard the news. It will be interesting to see what the change brings to the United States?!?!?!?

It won't be a drastic, immediate change as people probably expect. Things will remain largely the same for quite some time, regardless of who is in power. The only reason things changed so suddenly when Bush took office was because of 9/11. Before then, we were setting him up to be another Clinton (the lovable buffoon in the oval office... "That's My Bush" comes to mind).

No matter what happens, we'll still have a military presence in the Middle East for a while. We'll still have economic troubles. For the first time in most of our lives, I'm willing to bet that we'll have the worst economic situation we've ever seen very soon... and a Democrat will be in office at the time.

Yeah, Bush made the mess... but he won't have to clean it up. And the mess won't be blamed on him. The mess will be blamed on the poor sap who takes office after him, looks at his papers, and says... "Holy #$!%. What did I just get myself into?"

On another note, Tennessee voted Bob Corker for senate. That man is probably as stupid, if not stupider, than Bush himself. I voted for Harold Ford... but what do I know? He's black. In Tennessee.

Yeeehaw, the South will rise again.

/saracasm

Obama for President... that's what I'm talkin' about. But the issue with that is, he's so young, and he's got such star power going for him... he's such a rockstar politician. He reminds me a LOT of JFK. He's got so much common sense when it comes to politics... and he's such a good person that he's probably going to be assassinated if he runs. Some fucking stupid hick from the South will probably try to kill him becuase he's black and shit. Either that or the government will try something, becuase he just cares TOO much about the people. Which is funny, because America was founded on the principle of 'by the people, for the people.' Nowadays, hell, even since this country was founded, it's more like... 'By the rich, for the rich.'

Stepping down will just prevent him from being driven out imo..... Probably for the better.

rummy should make an "i'm done" thread so we can make him cry. lol

And SMH @ your sig, eediyots[/napoleon dynamite]

No but really though, we could be on the brink of a major historical event. I'm excited to see what the next few years bring. If the rest of what is going on in the country can catch up with the booming economy (believe me, the economy is def. going strong, a 12K Dow Jones closing wouldn't be possible in a weak economy) we will be in great shape.

I bet he's clueless about the "I'M DONE!!" thread.

I wish that Harold guy would have won in TN. Esp. now you say the guy who won is really dumb. Oh well, I'll just keep ignoring the south.

I hope we're on the brink of a massive catastrophe. I'm bored.

[MadSpleen85]

completely O/T, but related to elections. I think that the winner of each election should be held responsible for going out and taking down all the signs for all of the candidates. not their people, but them personally. i think this may cut down on one form of advertising a bit

I hear that. There are signs everywhere. Later
