What would be the consequences of having another Democratic Administration?

Great post and GREAT content! (I waded through the non-paragraph version, and then some wonderful FReeper posted it in a more readable format. Both versions were terrific!)

Nothing less than civilization is at stake here (not that I'm an alarmist or anything, lol!)

It is proper and right that now we all speculate and consider what will be the consequences of having a Democratic Administration beginning in January 2005.

Of course it is, and it has been done throughout the country.

Bush will win in a landslide.

These are serious times and people take it seriously. The political attitudes toted in the '90's are nonexistent in '04.

Feel good rhetoric has been replaced by firm and decisive action as the #1 quality looked for in our President.

Roe v. Wade would never be overturned. Indeed, Court watchers and party insiders recognize that the core of this battle is over control and domination of the Federal Judiciary -- which has asserted itself as the most influential branch of Government.

I Bush loses, I expect three retirements: O'Connor, Rehnquist, and Stevens. The loss of Rehnquist will add another pro-abortion vote -- making it a 6-3 or even 7-2 pro-abortion Court.

Conventional Wisdom is that Rehnquist is hanging on trying to outlast Stevens and the frail O'Connor. Indeed, with Ginsberg's health suspect, Rehnquist continues to see possibilities. The problem now is, Rehnquist is not only getting old -- 79 I believe -- but his back is terrible. He cannot even sit through the Oral arguments. If Bush loses, he will likely not try to make the remaining four years -- and may not make them anyway.

Stevens is 84 -- and in otherwise okay health -- but his is not going to retire with a Republican in office. He is waiting for a dem -- and hoping to live that long to protect his abortion vote.

The mostly interesting, of course, is O'Connor. She is the youngest of those three, but is not in the best of health. She is the one who broke ranks and is credited with keeping the Shell of Roe alive in the Casey decision. She did so under fierce pressure from her colleagues. She will not go and surrender her pro-abortion vote to a republican.

Bush Junior is the first President in a VERY long time not to get a single appointment, and it is clear that the battle lines are drawn. (Indeed, many in the know believe that Kennedy was tricked into voting with the majority in Casey, and that he has subsequently come to believe he was mistaken. I am not sure of that, but the rigidness of the two sides makes one believe that neither side is sure what he might do, if there is a next time.)

Obviously, the judiciary battle has been playing out since Bork. The dems have used everything to stop Bush from filling other prominent seats in Federal District Courts or in the Courts of Appeal. This under the belief that they will retake the Presidency and the Senate.

Control of Judicial appointments will allow dems to keep Judicially legislated liberal policies alive. (e.g. free public k-12 education for illegal aliens, Affirmative action, etc.)

While this battle is the centerpiece of national political strategists, it has not even gained a whisper from any substantive media source. If Kerry wins -- he will get two appointments for sure -- and Rehnquist may well go. Though the principled leader of the fight may choose instead to die on the job.

I just could not agree more.

America woke up on 9/11 - I am praying she has not gone back to sleep in this election. And .. I am encouraged by the public's ability to see the CBS scam as just that - a criminal scam against President Bush.

If Kerry brings troops home from Iraq - Iraq will implode and cause a civil war .. it will also disburse terrorists all over the world, including the USA. Kerry will write EO's to soften restrictions for foreign travel. With that said, we'll need all our military here to defend us in the streets from the constant terror attacks.

Just think about Israel .. ask yourself if you are willing to subject your family to that kind of life.

Iraq has been a magnet .. to draw the enemy down to one location .. instead of allowing the terrorists to attack America again.

I believe there was collusion between perot & clinton of some sort. Has anyone ever mentioned any kind of a payoff to perot for putting clinton in office? I can't recall.

I always thought perot was scamming the "volunteers". After the election there is always a big ball/party. I remember seeing perot dancing with his wife. He was the happiest man in the room & he had just lost the election & spend millions of his own money doing it. But he had accomplished what he wanted, the defeat of GHWBush.
