    There will be several attempts including one where a female assassin uses a biological agent on his hand, nearly killing him. But he'll survive until after he leaves office when he's fatally shot in the neck while visiting his younger brother in L.A.


    Oh wait, that's David Palmer. :D



    Seriously, what the hell kind of poll is this?! No, I don't think he'll be assassinated if elected. But I also don't think he'll be elected, so it's a moot point IMO.

    It's the Dems who play up on abortion fear tactics:

    Elect a Republican and they'll appoint conservative justices who'll reverse Roe vs. Wade.

    Elect a Republican and they'll take away civil rights.

    Elect a Republican and black churches will burn.


    Every election it's the same stupid accusations and TV ads. Remember, it wasn't a GOP candidate who ran a TV spot insinuating that his opponent would cause a nuclear holocaust if elected.

    If George W has not had any attempts, then B. Obama is prolly safe too.

    I realize both sides do it, I'm just saying it's not one-sided. What I meant by abortion was getting it reversed, not protecting it.

    Yeah but his post was nothing like your post at all, you just blurted out the party rallying cry, guns, gays abortions... so in reality you did the exact thing you were berating the other party for doing.


    /queue the Lee Greenwood or Whitney Houston music (Jimi if you're down)

    I wish we Americans would look past the bull**** their "party" feeds them to keep the people divided and themselves in power and really have dialogue on what things are wrong with the country.

    Your elected officials spend more time fighting and trying to make the other guy look bad than they do working on actually fixing what may be screwed up. They do it on your behest and to keep fifty percent of you in agreement so who can blame themthough.

    This forum is pretty much bull**** though, anytime I get the nerve to click on the D&D it is mostly a bunch of fools calling each other a neocon or libpig hoping that when their "man" wins they will get their piece of pie in the sky, it's laughable.

    I was just giving examples of what Republicans use to manipulate the fear of people. My post had no intent but to show that both sides of the political forum do this, not just one.

    I agree with the other things you said though.

    Osama probably loves W. W has screwed up America much more than Osama could have hoped to by himself. Big business probably loves bush too since he has made them rich. The ARMY probably loves bush cause he gives them so much money. Those cuts out the three groups with the power, money, and ability to carry it out. So I don't think you should be surprised no has gone after W.

    Let's not forget that the central message of the GOP in the last 3 elections has been, "Elect a Democrat and you and your family will f---ing die."

    Does anyone wonder about what kind of security will be required for the inauguration? 250000 are expected to show up at DC, what kind of security will be required? That is one tough problem for the secret service and DC police.

    It's gonna be crazy. I was thinking about driving up that week and staying with my sister in Springfield, VA, but it's gonna be too crazy. The estimates of 3-4 million people converging on the area have scared me off. I'll plug in a vacation day, get some popcorn and watch TV for a few hours.

    Didn't he give his acceptance speech behind bulletproof glass? They have to have something like that lined up.

    no glass will be needed. You have no idea what kinda security the SS provides these days.

    They have seriously stepped things up since Reagan got capped.

    Whats with these dumb polls lately?

    The real question is would you be equally disturbed if Bush was assassinated?
