Was the '96 Election the last real election in the US?

[Solomon]

It has occurred to me that maybe 1996 was the last real presidential election for the United States. After stealing the 2000 election, everything has been geared toward stealing the '04 election. If Bush steals the '04 election, will they even bother to stage an '08 election?

The really scary scary thing is that if Bush wins in '04, then he will be literally free to do anything without so much as a by your leave from the senate or anyone else. Who's to stop them? And if they get that far, why not continue some little nasty war so that any thoughts about changing the administration becomes verbotten?

If PNAC and all the other take over the world advocates have gotten this far, why would they even think about not going all the way. I'm sure they are at that stage of thinking which says, "we will never get a better chance than what we have right now."

Are we pass the point of no return?

1. Even concentration camp inmates were allowed to "vote"

At the concentration camp of Osthofen, near Frankfort, of the 88 inmates entitled to vote 79 voted "Yes" on the referendum question and endorsed the Reichstag list.

At the Brandenburg concentration camp out of 1,137 votes in the election 1,006 were for the Nazi party. In the referendum 1,024 inmates voted "Yes" and twelve "No." In the Oranienburg camp 301 prisoners out of 377 voted for the Nazi party, while 330 said "Yes" to the referendum and 33 "No."

An amnesty for political prisoners is regarded as probable in view of the "splendid demonstration of faith in Hitler."

The voting was especially brisk in the Rhenish-Westphalian industrial districts, formerly a Communist stronghold. By noon 90 per cent of the electorate had been to the poll.
