WOWOWOW. Majority of the polls have Bush ahead with a few exceptions. Americans still think Bush is better suited to deal with Iraq.

There are 2 more debates left, relax

Disregarding the thought doesnt help your case for re-electing someone without sellable qualities.

That's all we are looking for, qualities Bush could sell after this term expires.

Why do you care? Has he asked to crash on your couch? This isn't a particularly clever Bush-bashing thread, and it deserves no serious responses.

Edit: Oh, and Stunt, shouldn't your title be "If Bush Loses (not Looses) the election . . ."? I went to public school so I'm no grammar and spelling ace, but it seems to me that if you're going to call someone stupid, you ought to at least offer some evidence you're a little smarter. Otherwise, it's "Pot, meet kettle!"

:roll:

You Bush-Haters just can't get over it can you?
This is the most hateful, childish thread i've seen today, but the day is young...

Yep and you are logged in so the odds that this remains the most hateful, childish thread is very slim.......

He will go into therapy to try to better avoid the tremendous guilt generated by all the death his stupidity has caused in the world.

Lol, right on with your response. When you say things like "the momentum has switched to Kerry" and "even hardcore Republican supporters"....... then go on to bash him, what do you expect, Stunt? Hiding behind the self imposed "I wanna make a hypothetical" comment isn't going to stop me from calling you out on an ignorant statement. Your hypothetical sucks, let me give you some realism.....



BUSH & CHENEY YOUR NEXT PRESIDENT/ VICE PRESIDENT.


Quit crying about how this thread didn't turn out they way you want it. Try stepping back and looking at your OP... maybe that'll help you figure it out.

In order to protect America from the evil of DNC socialism, if Bush loses the election he will bring the military home and stage a violent coup in order to keep the Presidency.

BUSH & CHENEY YOUR NEXT PRESIDENT/ VICE PRESIDENT.


Quit crying about how this thread didn't turn out they way you want it. Try stepping back and looking at your OP... maybe that'll help you figure it out.

If you people would read properly you'd get a lot more out of these forums...jumping to conclusions is just gonna make you look like an idiot.

First of all it is an honest question...I have asked myself this and came to the conclusions stated in the OP. I feel that Bush has few relevant marketable skills to offer the REAL world. I have yet to see a post here which honestly outlines his skills for a potential career after politics.

If you quit complaining about my opinion, which last time i checked i can include in any post here, whether you like it or not...(I recall several threads by Riprorin, Conjur, Todd33, CAD and Cyclowizard where they are heavily biased...some even banned), so to ridicule me for having an opinion as an OP is quite naive.

If you were smart, you'd use this topic as a place to outline your leader's skills and valued assets.

Also, even though i stated my personal views, you might have noticed this: "Rebuttles?", implying i proposed myself that the three points mentioned can be scrutinized.

Oh and for the spelling police: I know how to spell that particular word and it is a typo (has been fixed), i'm sure you've had one before. Luckily i am not the leader of the world's superpower and therefore my intellect is irrevelant. But if you really care, i am graduating from mechanical engineering this year and my spelling ability is not pertintant to my career as Bush's intellect is to his.

With a name like Bush you don't need to do anything. He can sit back and enjoy dividends from stocks, bonds, etc.

Your rebuttle is.... (get this) the hypothetical dream you have of Bush losing is moot. Your topic title asks what happens when Bush loses. It's not gonna happen. To start a thread calling out Bush like you did, and not expect anyone from the Bush side to tell you how ignorant you are is being naive. The root of your question has a serious fallacy, and does not beg a response past "It's a moot question." Who is complaining? Certainly not me. I'm just trying to help you with the obvious. You state you are entitled to your opinion and can interject it in any post here. Ditto.

Even if he doesn't lose he still has to be gone four years later (thank goodness). At that point he'll follow up a disastrous presidency with a mediocre retirement where he returns to doing even more of nothing.

Some will certainly listen to him, I could very well see him speaking to a number of Churches or Church Groups for eg.

A number of Corporate Boards would probably give him some kind of position as well. I totally agree that he's an idiot and complete failure in life, but he is the(a) President, that alone makes him a valuable commodity.

What I predict if Bush loses this election:

-He will drop out of campaigning for politics altogether.

-He will grow facial hair.

-Start wearing a lot of flannels.

-Gain some weight

-Become a bitter activist cynic that travels around world talking about all kinds of failed ideologies that only the most partisan of hacks would pay tickets for.

-Become a poster child supporter for all of his political party?s duds that are incapable of winning a major election (or even their own parties nomination).

(Wait?.Isn?t that exactly what Gore did?) lol
