Who's reading Holly-Go-Lightly (71):
I heard this second hand...has anyone else heard of this & if so, what do you think?

Supposedly Bush signed what was supposed to be a secret (not for long) document, stating that if any "disaster", "epidemic", or other tragedy were to happen to our nation in the period between now, and the time that our new president would take office, he would stay in office as president, and the newly elected president would step aside until a later date.

First of all, this sounds ridiculous to me~how would that be allowed to take place? And then I think about all the other idiot things he's done that I can't believe he got away with and...hmmm... I get a little freaked out. (Remember, I am a writer with a healthy imagination). So I start thinking, the unusualness of the whole thing is suspicious in the first place. Perhaps he might make a deal (with Iraq even! It's been done before..) to buy some nerve agent or other type of gas, or the seeds of a horrendous epidemic of some sort, or a nuclear leakage of some sort. Perhaps he could manipulate something to do with our presence in Iraq, what would happen to our soldiers?

I wonder if this is the beginning of the road to 2012, the supposed "beginning of the end", or might Bush just be looking for a way to redeem himself, to go out being the hero instead of the one we just want to forget.

I know this sounds all paranoid, which I really am not, this isn't a real high concern for me at this moment, but just wondering if anyone else found it strange, and if we play our drama cards~what could it really mean?

    sounds too incredible to be true.  I would think that he'd need more than his own signature to make that kind of policy fly.  It's probably just another rumor started by disgruntled politicians.

    It sounds like an arrangement that delays transfer of power in the event of a huge national emergency.

    Just think of it this way - if another disaster like hurricane Katrina or 9/11 hits while the new Administration is moving in and the old is moving out, who will mobilize the Federal response? The old or the new? Who makes the final call? Granted this is a small window, but it could be a crucial one, and there needs to be a clear idea of who is in charge.

    If it were anyone other than Bush proposing this, people might say it's a common sense move. And it wouldn't just be for him, but any President transitioning after him.

    Unfortunately everything he touches these days turns to stone in the eyes of his detractors- even the stuff that makes sense.

    I don't doubt it for a minute, we have been fighting an UNDECLARED war for years now, all directed by bush's pen.

    I also don't doubt that he thinks he is above the laws of the country and that the constitution is only a 230 year old piece of paper.

    *uniquely*~ thanks for the response. I agree that it sounds to incredible to be true... but I have enough healthy skepticism to believe there might be something under-handed going on...  ???

    *curmudgeon*~hey! it's been awhile hmm? :) you are correct re: the disaster situations that could happen, and I understand that part of it, but my problem with it comes in at the point~just as you said~ "if it were anyone other than Bush proposing this...". thanks for the insight.

    *waking*~ I agree with you as well. The war, which is a f'n joke at this point, and should have been to the point of sending our men home along time ago (not that I even agreed with them being sent in the first place!!)  Also, I liked your comment regarding the respect the Bush administration has had for the "230 year old piece of paper"  LOL!!! good one

    Thanks guys  ~*~Holly~*~

    This is all true and he planned this all along.He will attack Iran to set this in motion,or create a terrorist attack.Bush (Shrub) needs to die.

    Holly, what is this "document?" Who drafted it? What congressional committee approved it? Where and who did it come from? It sounds baseless.
  • Waking said on Mar 04, 2008....
    I don't think Bush needs to stay in office with the scope of the 3 primary candidates getting pushed by the media. I don't doubt McCain would waste any time going to war with Iran, Obama and Clinton I don't trust but I have no way to judge their intentions of war, I think Bush trying to do something stupid before he leaves office at this point would be great and might actually get more people involved in political activism.

    I was hoping Bush was signing himself into a mental institution.

    If there ever was a time to IMPEACH, it would certainly be now!  That is if that new is true!

    curmudgeon: the moment a victor is decided in a presidential election, he (or she) has to put together a team and they get scheduled for intelligence briefings, i believe, which means that a president-elect is in fact going to be in full possession of the facts and have the resources necessary to address a crisis. we didn't do this during the cold war, when the threat of imminent armageddon loomed. if we didn't need it then, we sure as hell don't need it now, if you ask me.

    I will not meddle because I know Zero about American politics but in my humble opinion Bush is on par with  Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson !! unbalanced to put it mildly!!!  I rather like the look of that Oban whats his name, but what would I know! and its none of my business anyway!! lol
  • catch22 said on Mar 19, 2008....
    What Bush (Shrub) is planning has been in the works from the start.Will he carry it off? F#&!....I hope not.Revolution is in the air.

    "I was hoping Bush was signing himself into a mental institution."

    Narcissists never check themselves into mental institutions.  They think everybody else is defective.
