Default Delayed Presidential Elections...WTF?!?!
I honestly can't believe that they could even consider doing this!!!



http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2004/07/12/world/uselec04

0712


We are Americans.... and we (as a people) will find a way to get to the polling stations regardless

of any terrorist attacks!!!! Postpone the elections because of an attack.... and we might as well call it quits,

because all that says is that the terrorists have already won!!!


I personally feel that Dub'ya is looking

for a way to steal this election... just as he did in 2000, but thats just my opinion.

What does everyone else

think?

That's what happened and

then our legally elected officials did the unpardonable by not taking the time to read and fully understand the

implications of the USA Patriot Act before voting for it so even greater powers were handed to an unelected

President. I do thank AKA for reminding at least myself about this and instead of not voting this year as was my

plan (I don't care for the alternative) I will vote if only in the hope that it will help at least legitimize our

governement.

The implications

are staggering — if you admit that the 2000 elections were stolen you have to draw a whole series of unpleasant

conclusions about the press, government, courts, and everybody else that’s supposed to be safeguarding our

democracy
and that’s why our natural response is to want to believe that somehow nothing really bad

happened
.
Of course. It's far too big a reality check for most people to deal with. That's

exactly what they (Bush, Inc.) were counting on and, sadly, it's worked like a charm.

Good post.

It is in

trouble.

People are thinking in "True/False form" (or A/B multiple choice), rather than in "essays".

But

Nader doesn't have the answer, as regards this particular election. We need to get Bush out, then worry about the 2

party system.
I don't see any significant difference between the candidates. They are both working to

further their own party's agenda, neither of which is in this country's best interests. We need to worry right now

about fixing what is wrong with the process before it gets much worse. The longer we wait, the more difficult the

process is going to be.

That's nonsense!

The economic bubble was ready to collapse and the terrorist attacks were already in motion before Bush was elected.

Nothing like that happens overnight, each event took years.
True. The Clinton “recovery” was

little more than a glorified pyramid scheme. Banks loaned out start-up capital — on the basis of assets that they

were ANTICIPATING to get from a manufacturing sector that was in steady decline — to dot coms that were increasing

their stock value on the basis of profits they were ANTICIPATING to reap. Meanwhile industrial capacity was steadily

declining and the manufacturing sector was reporting record losses.
When the bills started coming due the bubble

burst.

I don't believe we ever will stop

an election for any reason, too much fallout if they tried. However, anybody that believes that sad old fable about

Bush stealing the last election really needs to go back and re-read the facts. At least one newspaper independently

varified the results and Bush would have won anyway. He may be a contempable idiot but he is legally the president.

But his only real competition was a contemptable idiot as well.The people lost in either case.

In short, there are a mountain

of fishy facts about the Gore/Bush runoff in Florida (e.g., Bush cronies in charge of the counting). There is no way

to just say it was OK. Many likely Gore voters were elimenated from the counting, for example. The major networks

and press corporations did a bad job of reporting it at the time, unfortunately. Nice post, A.K.A. Of course

Bush will do everything he can get away with, ethical or not, to influence the upcoming election. Expect it

and watch. That is probably what the latest Homeland Security warning was all about. The intelligence was reportedly

all old.

If the Lakers can let Phil Jackson go, we ought to be able to let Bush go! Time for a new approach!

Give someone else a shot! To say this guy is an ineffective diplomat, for example, is absolutely unquestionable. He

is damaged goods. The world hates him. Right or wrong, he is not going to talk his way back into the world's hearts

any time soon, with his self-admitted expressive disorder. There is no way Bush could do the job for four more

years, even if he wasn't the moral equivalent of Stalin. Even traditional Republican interests would be better

served by Kerry at this point than by Bush. For example, Kerry has a much, much better military mind. There is no

way Bin Laden would still be at large if Kerry had been in there.

well, this all sounds good

to me but are you trying to say that as long as we flip-flop the two viable political parties every election or so

that we'll be better off?

so true, and

it's about to happen all over again.
There's an old saying that power corrupts. That isn't true. Power

attracts the corrupt and the corruptable. Anybody seeking to feed at the public trough should be suspected of being

corrupt before ever starting out. Who in their right mind would spend millions for a job that pays so little and has

such high demands unless there was some other return for their investment. The return doesn't have to be money but

I think I would trust money more than egotistical rewards. That type really scares me.

Yeah, but

what was all that junk about Saddam, did everyone just forget completely about Osama, i haven't heard his name in

months.....
Bin Laden is a CIA asset & stooge...Who do you think he was working for during the Soviet

occupation during the 80's. The wealthy Saudi family he comes from is very highly connected in the Bush

Admin...Why do you think they were hustled out of the country so quietly after 9/11? Bin Laden is a semi delusional

nut case...theres no way he was the 9/11 master mind...Has anyone asked themselves why it took the military one and

a half hours to respond the hijacking of 4 commercial airliners? When the year before the had several intercepts

within 10 to 15 mins...the jig is up...the official 9/11 story put out by the govt & mainstream news media is total

BS...9/11 was allowed to happen by Dubya, et al...

Its total

garbage.... and if we can't find a way to fix it.... we're doomed to pointless elections with worthless

candidates.
And by following either major party, a totalarian society.

Everything was just peachy

when Clinton was in office, suddenly Bush gets into office, 3,000 people die, gas prices go up 200%, and we go to

war, has anyone else noticed this?!

Now we'll just have to

wait and see what kind of funny business happens this time, hopefully it won't entail any deaths. I imagine that

at least all democratic political protests during the RNC will be declared illegal in that they "just could" aid the

terrorists who are "certainly" planning an attack.

Normally I have agreed with these kinds of statements, for the very reasons you state.

In this case, however, I

disagree very strongly. Did you see Fahrenheit? There is a huge difference between Kerry and Bush. Kerry and Colin

Powell? Maybe not. But Bush?!?

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am saying that there are no viable

political parties. I'm saying that the american people have been hoodwinked into believing they only have the

choice between supporting one party or the other. I'm saying that our political system has degenerated into apathy

and pointless mudslinging rather than face and address the real issues.

What I am advocating is using your brain

and taking the time to study rather than pay attention to the crap in the news. There is almost nothing regarding

the elections in the mainstream or alternative news that is worth reading. Ignore what one candidate claims the

other said or did. Instead, check congressional records and voting histories. Read up on what they really do and

have done rather than listening to pointless mudslinging. Know your facts then vote for the person without regard to

parties.

The bad part is that all

this posturing likely means something will happen and people will get killed. This whole thing sucks big time and I

don't have any answers myself.
