This is not a rant. Merely a question and an investigation into the things many people hold for granted.
Yesterday my veteran and hoary Professor submitted this question to us on an assignment sheet as part of a much broader Linguistics handout.
"Should Bush resign?"
To the left leaning and those to the right upset by the Bush Administration, this may have an easy and emotionally pleasing answer. "Yes" and "by all means." But I ask who would replace President Bush?"
Why Vice President Dick Cheney of course.
Bush is a Neocon and Cheney is a Neocon's Neocon, known for his shadowy view of the world, notorious for his excesses in hunting, the CIA leak scandal, and his impressive influence in setting the policy of the Bush Administration. His control would be only made stronger by an ascension to the presidency.
And perhaps if both Bush and Cheney were ousted. Who would take the reins then?
Why Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi of course.
I motion that the Presidency stays as is.

Are you mad? Why would any of us want either Polosi or Cheney - they are both extremes. One to the left and the other to right. I would honestly prefer a new president that is not within the current party standing.
Let's hope a better president emerges from this mess. Good question though.
* Ooopps, misspelled Pelosi. It's Pelosi not "Polosi"
Carlos, I am not mad, I was just pointing out the the two people waiting in the wings of Succession, both like you said, who are really "extreme" people.
Good, lol. Thye have no chance anyway, unless Bush dies or gets killed in office before the elections. God is not cruel, he is forgiving. lol.
