What if McCain/Palin won, then McCain died -- and a terror attack followed. Apocalyptic fiction from a nightmare
It is obvious in retrospect that only an external attack like that on 7/22 could have saved the Palin presidency. Without it, would any of what followed have happened? I doubt it. The Democrats would have recaptured both the White House and Senate that fall. The culture wars would have simmered on, but the evangelical movements momentum on the path toward political power would have been lost. I would be installed in my corner office downtown, practicing law. I would probably have children with Emilie. I might be having dinner with Sanjay tonight instead of sitting here with people I really dont know, trying to remember and record all that happened since then.
But 7/22 did happen. It was truly horrible, and the American people were understandably scared and angry. 7/22 opened a door, and Sarah Palin walked through it.
On July 24, 2012, President Palin, for only the second time in the history of the republic, declared martial law over the entire country. Instead of appearing alone in a televised address from the formality of the Oval Office, she addressed the nation from the situation room in the basement of the White House flanked by all the Joint Chiefs of staff, with Vice President Sam Brownback and top consultant Steve Jordan the only civilians present. Her speech was direct and forceful. After 9/11, she said, our enemies had counted on our weaknesses. They knew of our preoccupation with rights, laws, and political correctness of every sort.....

Crazy. But that’s what Salon is so this sort of nonsense is expected.
Quite the pharmaceuticals they have there over at Salon.
As if a Joe Biden presiduncey would offer any winning moments. What libtards.
What IF Obama was not an American citizen but was
a Moslem working to help al Qaeda??
I must've been sleeping and missed all that tyranny.
I was having a nightmare where a Marxist president used executive orders to bypass the legislative branch, denounced the rulings of the Supreme Court when he violated the Constitution, used the IRS the engage in a partisan witchhunt of the Tea Party during the 2010-2012 election season, ran communication profiles on average citizens (not those suspected of being in communications with known members of Al Qaeda as was the policy under GW Bush)...
The best defense of this administration seems to be go on the attack against the pair that didn't win in 2008.
I wish I understood their ridiculous fear of “fundies” and “theocracy”.
And . . . and, what if nickels grew on trees . . . and what if we could walk to the moon on a highway of marshmallows . . and what if idiots and liberals didn'r exist . . . and . . . and . . . and . . . ?
I get so sick of these moronic "what-if" scenarios the left dreams up to bash conservatives!!
Whaadya mean, what if?
Did President Palin have the IRS spy on us?
I don’t know which drugs these clowns are on but I’m glad they’re illegal.
Same technique used by the Party in “1984” to drum up the “two minutes hate” of the Emmanuel Goldstein character. The “fundies” are the Alinskyite strawmen.
They’ve got Hollweird’s version coming up where President Jamie Foxx gets attacked by far right wackos tied in with the military industrial complex.
These fu**ers have been running their projections on the wall showing us where they’re heading since 1930.
Time to cut them off at the pass.
Well, she wouldn't have called it "work place violence", that's for sure.......
I forget, is it Slate or Salon which publishes from an insane asylum?
if Palin became our president, foreign leaders would love her - esp Putin
Yes.
