Poll question: Would you support a Revolution if the Congress will not impeach Bush?

Edited on Mon Dec-19-05 11:37 AM by benburch

Bearing in mind, of course, that our first opportunity for Revolution will be a peaceful one in 11 months, at the polls.

I assume you have some good reason? Or are you Quislings?

4. The congress is it Democratic or Republican =p

Doesn't that make all of the difference?

You know a republican congress will not impeach the king, not while there are elections up for grabs.

I'm just as radical as the next person, but NO I will not support a revolution, not with this fuck whacked Administration, I love you guys I don't want you dead.

5. I'm more for secession than revolution although this

Edited on Mon Dec-19-05 01:29 PM by Cleita

could lead to a civil war as well. It's very hard to think of what could be done to save our country and thinking about destroying its seat of government to replace it with another makes one think of what revolutions do historically and if they in fact made things better in the long run.

6. The question is moot.

All Republics progress to empire, all empires fail, whether through internal revolution, dissolution, or external invasion.

I think ours will be dissolution, say: SECESSION.

8. I don't think the word "revolution" has much meaning anymore

It's not like we can kick the British out. Where will it be? When will it be? How will we know it is one? Will it be televised?

I think we need to consider tax protests, general strikes, supporting actual reform like taking our representatiion away from international corporations... is that revolution? All I know is that I think our country is going down and our children are going to be slaves to the military-industrial-television complex. We'd already have a draft and be in Iran if it weren't for those damned democrats. Soon it will be much easier.]

10. Can't we send the new King George back to England?

He left his poodle over there. Perhaps, we can find both of them a home there. Or the Hague, makes no difference. :evilgrin:

11. Other than voting out the GOP

there's not a whole lot we can do. After all, most liberals like gun control, so it's not like a traditional revolution would even work from our end.

13. We can replace the ENTIRE congress if we choose, you know!

But we only need to replace about 60% of it!
