I mean, honestly. How bad can another four years possibly be? We sit tight, smile and nod whenever he says something, and wait. Too many people get up in arms about Bush, or Kerry. Why?

Life goes on. Does it really matter whose rump rests behind a given desk?

Besides, vote Cthulhu! Why settle for the lesser evil?

More jobs lost. Thousands more soldiers dead. Half a dozen more senseless, money-spinning wars fought. Or he could go after North Korea and wonder why Seoul gets glassed. Us here in Britain ruled by proxy by him for 4 more years as Blair's so far up he's arse it's hard to see the join and we've no alternatives to vote for who wouldn't lynch anyone without a Germanic family tree or ruin the country altogether.

For America, I don't know who'd be better - I'd say Kerry, but I don't really trust him either. I think this election is more important for British people who don't like how Blair and Bush have turned us into an extra state instead of a real country than it is for the American people, as their internal policies are basically indentical - Bush is just more warlike in his foreign policy than Kerry.

So unless you're an American soldier or an American soldier's relative, it doesn't really matter who wins. Just my point of view - the rest of the world will suffer if Bush gets back in, while America won't notice either way.

Actually, seeing as the GOP is set to pick up 1-4 seats in the Senate and a few in the House, and with vacancies likely on the Supreme Court, I think Bush can do a lot of good (or 'damage,' if you're a liberal) in the next 4 years.

That's the spirit. It doesn't really matter! Things never get better, they just change.

The rest of the world will continue to suffer regardless of the winner. The prosperous 1st world contries depend on the usage and exploitation of the 3rd world countries in order to survive and remain powerful.

There won't be six more wars. There'll be two. North Korea and Iran. And maybe France... :mp5:

France would actually be a war for once. Just not sure if, realistically, France will be the ones fighting.

Seriously, Bush could pull his head out and lead America to the a new era of prosperity and enlightenment or cause such of a disaster that North America is declared quarantined due to radiation levels. More than likely, a repeat of the last four, only ten times more of it.

Since he won't have to worry about any more elections he will probably drop all pretence and attempt a coup that will leave him and his cronies in total control of the US.

Chances that he might get away with this are high as most USers are too preoccupied with screaming how they are the #1...

Actually, that will never happen. And I'll shut up now about it.

If he goes after North Korea, it'll turn into nuclear war. If the US start sending troops in, you just know Kim Jong-Il will glass Seoul, and I wouldn't put it past Bush to glass Pyongyang in retaliation.

As well as Bush turning Britain into a US state (and if Blair gets re-elected again next time here, too, then I can see that happening), Bush going after North Korea is the thing I fear most, simply because of the nuclear chain reaction it could set off.

That is quite true. As for the Senate...

There are 49 Democrat (including the independant) and 51 Republican senators.

19 Democrat seats are up for re-election, compared to 15 Republican seats.

13 of the Dem incumbents will safely be re-elected. 10 of the Repub incumbents will safely be re-elected.

So 43 safe Dems and 46 safe Repubs.

Dems will definately take the Illinois seat, and Repubs will definately take Georgia and South Carolina.

44 Dem and 48 Repub, barring a huge upset.

Dems will most likely take the Colorado and Alaska seats.

Repubs will most likely hold Oklahoma and Kentucky.

46 Dem and 50 Repub.

Florida is a tossup, Dems are trying to hold a seat. In recent days Democrat Castor seems to be leading.

North Carolina is another tossup state where the Democrats are trying to hold a seat. Democrat Bowles was leading through the summer, now it's basically tied.

Lousiana is hard as hell to poll, since they have 2 Democrats running against a Republican. If no one gets 50% (this is expected), they'll have a runoff with the top two vote getters a few weeks later. Expect a huge amount of money to go into that one. Republican Vitter has a good chance of taking the Democrat seat.

And finally, South Dakota, a tossup whether Democrat Minority Leader Daschle gets re-elected.

Barring some upsets, the Repubs can pick up 3 seats, at most. At worst for them, they lose one seat.

Either way, it looks next to impossible for the Dems to actually take control of the Senate without Kerry winning the presidency and Edwards breaking Senate ties.

If he goes after North Korea, it'll turn into nuclear war. If the US start sending troops in, you just know Kim Jong-Il will glass Seoul, and I wouldn't put it past Bush to glass Pyongyang in retaliation.

I really dont accept the whole Nth Korea scenario as likely, Nth Korea has WMD, I dont think even Bush is stupid enough to invade a country he knows has got WMD... ;) :p

Um, well I figured it was like the Borg and didnt really matter.... :p


...although now I reconsider I guess I might be on shakey ground construing the Bush family as a commune... ;)

Electing either presidents would have more or the same results.

North Korea's a very messy place to go to war with WMD's. Not unless they got China and Russia with them.

Maybe Iran? Iran are on the verge of creating their own WMD's. They have uranium manufacturing plants.

I think the most likely nation would be Iran. However if Bush gets re-elected, I think terrorism hunting and solving Iraq quagmire would be the first thing on his mind.

What more damage? Umm. Probably real income for the citizens would drop, maybe an imprending economy crisis? I think we've been through the worse already, unless another terrorism attack on America's soil happen.

Whats most likely to happen is the deeper seperation between europe and America. Which Kerry's not going to solve it either but just slow down the process.

I think we'd let Israel field that one, with Bush re-elected. I mean, they couldn't be MORE hated either way. ;)

Also, what's your native language? I'm always curious about that on NS. :)
