The instant McCain enters the White House (won't happen, but it's fun to pick McCain's non-brain) he will set up AB missiles in the front yard. S&M Guerrillas in the Bowell's of the White House basement.
This is just as Reagan removing the solar panels.
But it will be exponentially worse.
The buttons for nuclear war will be front and center on his desk. In fact, probably the only thing on his desk.
And did I say, we would have to say goodbye to the internets? Don't know about you but I would give up my left pinky to fight for and keep my internet.
Please add more predictions, if you please.
Full Version: We can't stand another term of the Wrecking Crew
Corporate America will set up shop in the basement of the White House and figure out how to sell off the rest of public America.
Following the response to Grampy's cash prize offer for building a better battery, national infrastructure decisions will be made by lottery ticket.
McCain Secretary of Health & Human Services Musharraf: Yes, sir! Will replace the the many indigent ni**ers, spics and gooks who die from lack of Health Care with the many stupid, whiny middle-class taxpayer types who are made indigent due to having Health Care.
President McCain: Excellent, my pretties... Cindy! Cindy! Where the hell are you, you c*nt? I just took my Levitra, goddammit!
[McCain turns to Musharraf, winks] The good stuff, courtesy of my pet pharma lobbyist... heh heh heh

"Mr. Marley has been dead these seven years," Scrooge replied. "He died seven years ago, this very night."
"We have no doubt his liberality is well represented by his surviving partner," said the gentleman, presenting his credentials.
It certainly was; for they had been two kindred spirits. At the ominous word "liberality," Scrooge frowned, and shook his head, and handed the credentials back.
"At this festive season of the year, Mr. Scrooge," said the gentleman, taking up a pen, "it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the Poor and Destitute, who suffer greatly at the present time. Many thousands are in want of common necessaries; hundreds of thousands are in want of common comforts, sir."
"Are there no prisons?" asked Scrooge.
"Plenty of prisons," said the gentleman, laying down the pen again.
"And the Union workhouses?" demanded Scrooge. "Are they still in operation?"
"They are. Still," returned the gentleman, "I wish I could say they were not."
"The Treadmill and the Poor Law are in full vigour, then?" said Scrooge.
"Both very busy, sir."
"Oh! I was afraid, from what you said at first, that something had occurred to stop them in their useful course," said Scrooge. "I'm very glad to hear it."

He'll solve global warming by going back to stagecoaches - and he will wear a funny hat!

Buh Bye Roe v. Wade....
There will be no more US Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard. It’ll all be replaced with private “Security Teams” who will wear suspiciously beige shirts.

Now why did I just flash on a John Wayne movie?
But, but what's wrong with funny hats?

Not to worry; providing WW III doesn't happen, the US economy will completely crash by 2010 and the US will cease to exist as a large nation. Face it: neither Obama nor McCain is the reincarnation of FDR and cannot keep the country together. That said, some of the new countries will likely thrive in a better socioeconomic climate than when they were part of the former US. Depending on where you end up, you could be far happier than when you were a US citizen.
McCain probably won't have a chance to screw up a lot of things before the US permanently breaks up the way the old USSR did.

No, no! His solution to Global Warming is Nuclear Winter. All that and it thins the herd of most of us "useless eaters". That way all the dwindling resources they're murdering people for will last a lot longer.

You might be on to something. The "hearltand" - no offense - would finally see reality for what it is.
Last week I was actually fantasizing about an independent California with all the McCain hype that we were hearing.

May not be a fantasy. If we can convince Nevada, Oregon and Washington to go along, could be the world's 5-6th largest economy and if prudently managed, could be the 4-5th largest.

You are welcome!
IMO, the best breakfast anywhere is that Coyote Cafe (I think that's the name- it's the one across the street from the historic theater) in Santa Fe - best Posole Rojo I have ever tasted. Goes well with the native Chicken Killer Barley Wine.

Making my mouth water!
Doesn't have to be gloom and doom; lots of possibilities. Even if not actual independence a re-focus can do away with all the fake divides of this military industrial complex.
My gosh, what would gas go up to? More deregulation and speculation I'm sure...can we say $10 a gallon?
Dismantle it? Grandpa doesn't even know how it works!
He'll get the tubes all discombobulated!
