Consolidation of Power is not meant to be transferrable......

to any democratic adminsitration, in my view anyway. All of this power they are consolidating, I don't think they would ever take the chance of it getting into the hands of the enemy party. Therefore, I can come to only one conclusion; they will not willingly give up power. Whether it be through fraud (voting) or some other means, they will do whatever is necessary to keep their power.

1. I totally agree, and have been saying this since 2004.

If this admin gave up power in 2006 or 2008, they would end up in prison. They know they've overreached several times during the last five years, and have broken many laws, and have no intention of leaving office.

2. they also don't want to go to prison . . .

and the only way they can accomplish that is to remain in power at all costs . . . by means legal (unlikely) or illegal (certain) . . . or by an outright power grab (e.g. cancelling the 2008 elections) if all else fails . . .

3. Of course not

Their intent is to create an emergency, fry the economy, pile up debt, get the world to hate us so the inevitable Dem administration will have to spend four years cleaning up the mess. And god forbid a Dem tries to use the Repuke power; they'll be all over him like they were with Clinton with specious, idiotic but very LOUD charges. Remember the guy who said he would convert to a Dem if Clinton's tax increase didn't start a recession? That's how they do it; fuck things up so no Dem can get anything done.

4. Whew, boy. That's a succinct way of putting it.

And, yes, consolidation/concentration of wealth/power is precisely what most endangers our democratic existence.
