Do you realize what could happen in the next four years with Bush as
President?
* The economy could be devastated (Well, actually, that could have
happened under Dukakis too, but it's still depressing).
* We could get anywhere from 1 to 3 ultra-Conversative judges on the
Supreme Court, and countless ultra-Conservative federal judges.
* That could cause the repeal of some of the most important civil
rights legislation of our time, and the reversal of some of the most
important Supreme Court decisions on civil rights....
* Affirmative action isn't safe
* Women's right to an abortion isn't safe
* Prayer in the public schools could become a reality
* Oliver North's birthday could become a national holiday.
* Bush could pardon Oliver North.
* Bush could cut even more from education and other social welfare
sections of the Budget.
This is going to be a really bad four years.
