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? (No lizard freaks need respond..b/c your numbers up ![]() |

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

It is in 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! 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 honestly 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! ![]() 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. |

so true, and 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 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... |

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. |

I don't see 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?!? |

well, this all 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. |
