Well, we've got 2 more years with Dubya, where do the other 12 come from? It seems like the powers that be like the reign of the Bushes. It seems
like a certain ammout of the population does as well. With a little bit of help, can there be 3 more terms of Bush rule? Why not? HW only served 1
term, he's available for 1 more term. By then Jeb should be ready to take over. Could this actually be pulled off if the millitary industrial complex
see fit to do this? Would the population do this?
Your thoughts?
Err, maybe I'm slow, but I'm not getting where this is coming from.
Bush Sr. is too old to really get elected, plus he wasn't all that popular when he was president. Even with some pro-Bush Sr voting fraud, I really
don't think he'd have a chance. Even if he did, he's eligible for 1 term, or 4 years.
Bush Jr only has 2 years. Even if he finds a way to suspend elections, there would be enough of a public outcry that he'd have to step down.
Jeb seems like a logical choice, that'd account for 2 terms maximum, or 8 years.
4 + 2 + 8= 14. So, bottom line is that I'm guessing this is from someone's rampant speculation. It really isn't very realistic, in fact, I'd bet
my house, my cars, and even my cat that there's no way that Bushes will sit in the Executive Office for a total of 20 straight years.
