Gotta log off now, but I'll look for the replies to this tomorrow...
Has anyone considered what might happen if Obama does well during his first term (yes, he will be president)?
I don't think it's too far beyond the Pale to theorize that he might decide to effectively dismantle the Evangelical-enabled Republican Party (as it is now) by:
-sending Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rice to the War Crimes Tribunal in the Hauge
-revoking the Patriot Act
-breaking up the military/industrial monopolies
-breaking up the HMO's
...all of these things would be well within his powers, and well within the law (a consideration obviated by the current administration).
Here in Europe (where culture comes from), we've had big-budget prime time television shows such as "Death of a President" wherein a fictional assassination of George Dubya and ensuing (hypothetical) political fallout was analyzed in a retroactive docu-drama manner (did everything but draw a diagram for any would-be Lee Harvey Oswalds).
Similarly, we've had TV miniseries following a fictionalized Tony Blair's mental breakdown in the weeks leading up to his war crimes tribunal.
Don't think that I'm being extremist here... for America to regain some semblance of respect in the political sphere someone like Obama (or his successor) might well decide to throw these incompetent Neo-Con simpletons to the wolves.

PS-Moosejay, you're ignorance and simplistic child-like reasoning are absolutely horrifying.... to this stranger in an office somewhere who doesn't even know you.
