an experience somwhere to the left of reality
Imagine if you will:
George Bush was re-elected to the presidency in the 2004 election, receiving more votes than any president in U.S. history. Right after the election, Pres. Bush announced that he was scheduling two special elections for January, 2005. The first election would be for the purpose of putting a new U.S. Constitution up for a vote in a nationwide referendum. The new constitution would be structured to reflect more fully the principles of conservatism, as understood by Pres. Bush, VP Dick Cheney, and presidential advisor Karl Rove. The second election would be for the purpose establishing a Constitutional Assembly, composed entirely of conservative Republicans, that would make sure that the new constitution got passed.
Three weeks after winning re-election, Pres. Bush's Constitutional Assembly established a special "judicial emergency committee" and gave it the authority to remove from office any federal judge who wasn't sufficiently conservative. By January, 2006 the committee had fired 190 federal judges.
The Constitutional Assembly also declared a "legislative emergency" and created a 7-member committee, composed entirely of conservative Republicans, that would take over the legislative responsibilities of the U.S. Congress. The Senate was abolished, and the U.S. House was prohibited from meeting. This prohibition was enforced by armed soldiers posted at the Capitol Building.
In the January special elections, the new constitution was overwhelmingly passed by the voters of the United States. The election was monitored by the Texas Republican State Committee. Although the Texas Republicans acknowleged that there were many irregularities with the election, and that the Bush administration would not give them full access to all voting precincts, the Texas GOP still was able to assure all interested parties that it was a fair election.
Right after the special election, Pres. Bush issued an executive order giving himself the power to rule by unfettered decree for a period of one month. During that time the president issued 49 presidential decrees that effectively consolidated all powers of the federal government within the executive branch, and which prohibited the media from reporting anything that wasn't first approved by the president.
Obviously all of the above is complete fiction; it never happened. Well, I should say, it never happened in the U.S. Before I tell you where it did happen, let me ask a simple question: What would the reaction be from the modern Democrat Party and their cronies in the mainstream, drive-by media if Pres. Bush attempted to do any of the above?
Now, the punch line to this sick joke. All of the above did happen in Venezuela under the rule of Hugo Chavez. This is the same Hugo Chavez who was playing kissy-face with liberal-loon Cindy Sheehan. This is the same Hugo Chavez who Sheehan said was such a better president than George Bush. She said that she would rather live in a country under the rule of Chavez than under the Bush administration. The Democrats have chosen to make Sheehan, and other left wing bananas just like her, the face of their party. Is it any wonder that the Democrat Party has become irrelevent in the 21st Century?
