I expect the won/dollar rate to go crazy.
Kim Jeong Il will soon perform another nuclear test just to show he means business.
What else do you predict? |

I don't expect another nuke test from North Korea if Bush leaves office. They did one while he was in office and Bush can't do much about it. Why wait until he is gone? It is China and the rest of the orient that N. Korea must deal with.
When Bush leaves office, it will be too late. Impeach him now, Cheney and Rove, too, and apologize to the American and international community for war crimes and breaking the Constitution. Even great Republican Presidents of the past would be ashamed of what Bush and Co. have done in their name. Even the neocons are p!ssed now. |

| As a old-guard Republican, I'll be very glad to see Bush, and hopefully his neo-con pals, out of office. |

But, did you vote for him in the 2000 or 2004 elections? |

Likely he did... and that just shows how flawed the american political system is. With only 2 choices and a cultural pressure to vote either left or right, people end up voting for terrible candidates just because they can't stand the thought of "other side" in power. The american system needs a complete overhaul, new national parties need to be introduced to curb the corruption and break the majority rule that leads to bad legislation. |

I wasn't old enough to vote for the 2000 elections. The 2004 I did not vote for either candidate (Bush or Kerry). This time around I plan to vote Libertarian unless the Republican candidate is strongly against neo-conservatism.
However, I am in the minority. Republicans do constitute a variety of ideologies. it ranges from the "government that governs least, governs best" Republicans akin to the 1920's Republican presidents to the socially conservative, big-government Republicans. Even in this spectrum, a fiscal Republican will vote for Bush because they're scared that the Democrats will try to socialize.
It's all about "voting for the lesser evil" as stated before. It's a shame there aren't more parties. There are a ton of parallels between the American Gilded Age and today, it seems. Everyone simply thinks "Hey, if I vote for the third party candidate, that's like throwing away my vote." This is because everybody has this sentiment, so there can never be an opposition vote.
In four or eight years we're going to see the Republicans crying "society is wrong because of X", and the Democrats crying "that's because you hindered our goals!" Then we'll see power shift and the same complaints, and another cycle of party control. I'm just waiting for that miracle president who actually takes a radically different turn. In the Gilded Age it took an assassination. |

The democrats have effectively become the liberall republicans. No one really cares about the working man (expecially all those ex-manufacturing wokers now working in fast food and in stores.)
America has become boring, buried in bueracracy, and complacent in civil rights issus (torture is ok now???), i won't be returning any time soon. |
