has bush actually got the balls?

[punter2003]

A vote . has bush actually got the balls to claim a national emergency, cancel the election, and declare martial law. I doubt it. ( also as a side note regarding a self forfilling prophecy, it is claimed that this led hitler to be convinced that he was hisler from the nostradmus predictions, and he acted appropriately. Is bush going the same way.?)
stay safe.

Our Prime Minister here has just been on the news saying they want this thing passed.

He will do what he is told when he is told.I am sure he could careless.

I rather think it's more a case that he believes what he's told. He lives in a reality that I certainly don't share, but to him, I'd guess it's the only reality.

Damn right he has to balls to declare martial law, lest we forget this guy stole an election...

Will he actually do it? I don't know. I believe he'll do whatever he's told.

I don't think has the political power right now, with a 70% disapproval rate. People are very riled right now because of the bailout.
