Forget election reform if * declares himself president for life.
A lot of you are now focusing on election reform instead of at least proving that * didn't win. But there is a possibility that by 08':

DU will no longer exsist
Barbara Boxer and William Pitt will be in Guantanamo Bay concentration camp
Bush will declare himslef President for life
Big Brother will be watching you

Think about the possibilities above before you say "until next time".


:scared:

1. The powers behind the throne won't allow Bush to stay on.
Why? Because it would totally blow the cover of the already existent cabal in charge by way of coup d'etat. By switching Presidents every eight years, holding sham elections and lots of media theatrics, they might be able to milk this sham for another 16 or so years before finally declaring the in the name of National defense, elections will be suspended. (Follow Putin. He's doing the same thing but is ahead of the U.S. schedule.)

2. i have toyed with the theory
that bush will use his "mandate" of predetermined election numbers that make people think that more people voted for him than any other president at his coronation ceremony to declare that because of that he sees no need for any other president and declares himself president for life, and i just dont know what to do to stop him that doesent involve violence

6. money doesn't involve violence,
our "starve the beast" campaign was too wimpy and a sort of a failure...yeah, we gave the fascist pigs a poor Christmas, but, it wasn't that bad, and they had the media whores lie and say it was great. What we have to do is stop paying taxes. That would bring them to a raging halt. We all have to fill out papers with our employers saying we are exempt, and we all have to get arrested, and we all have to tell the judge we didn't pay taxes because taxation without representation is unconstitutional (they didn't count my vote, how about yours?), and then we all have to suffer some time in jail, But the truth is that if enough of us did this, they could not possibly arrest us all, and it would shortly shut down the government, You don't think those bloodsuckers would work a single day without pay do you? No, of course not. Then, who will arrest us, when we stop paying them, and when they stop paying the men in black? When they give us an election we will give them some taxes, we are under no obligation to support a government we did not elect.

3. Don't get mad, get LOUD!!!
We need to flood the Judiciary Repuglicans with e-mails, letters, and phone calls in order to get them to understand how important this is. They MUST hold FULL investigations with subpeona powers.

<http://judiciary.house.gov/contact.aspx>

The idiots have megaphones, but we have numbers!

The Senate Democrats were cowed, this time by their constituents, into doing what they should have done in 2000. We can't stop now. The ight has only begun!

4. Shrub will come up with some crap about...
How he was only selected instead of actually winning the Presidential election in 2000, so he would be able to serve another term in 2008. Congress and the MSM would cheer about Shrub's great news, and we get screwed for another four years. That, or Jeb is being showcased for the 2008 selection to the Imperial Bush Dynasty in this Banana Republic of Amerika.

...that he will try to declare some kind of martial law or something. He's such a f****** weasel. I can't even begin to express how much I despise that poor excuse for a human being.

8. We need to get * impeached.
His hubris is catching up to him. They're grilling Gonzales. The payouts to Williams re NCLB. Iraq is being declared more and more the quagmire that it really is. But I agree, we MUST find fraud in the election that will stand up in court! We have to make the name "Bush" have an equally bad connotation and "Nixon". The name must become synonymous with "crook".

9. We'll, thats when we take to the hills,
if they force our hands, history would look kindly on armed rebellion and assassinations. If they can't even put down insurrections in small countries like Iraq and Afghanistan, I doubt they could stop a justified, wide scale American revolt, especially if much of the army defects.



I don't think it will come to that, though. It would be too bad for business.

10. I couldn't believe what Al Franken said to....
Tweety on Hardball with respect to what a soldier told him during his recent USO tour in Iraq, about Rumsfeld. I don't even think I can repeat it here. If Bush declared himself president for life who knows what those rascals might start saying!

and National Guard they can't leave, they're going to have a mutiny on their hands pretty quick. Then here comes the draft and all hell will break loose. It was the draft that brought about the massive demonstrations against the Vietnam war.

12. If the draft is what it takes
-and I'm sorry for those of you with kids of that age-but bring it on! We are talking about our democracy. We are talking about being controlled by * forever. I don't want to sacrifice anyone to the cause but maybe the only thing that will stop the * regime is the people...and I'm talking millions of them in the streets turning against * & co.

I post on another board and the freepers there have been spewing that it was the dems who brought up a bill about this issue in congress-not the repukes. So they WILL try and skew this and make this something the dems wanted.

Nevertheless, it WILL be the people who say HELL NO!

13. Yes, it was Rangel, I believe
who brought it up, but it was to make a point, to get it on the record that everybody was voting against the draft, so that later when Bush asks for it, the record will be clear.

14. We have to focus on things we can change.
While I am well aware of the possibilities for foul play resulting in the Chimperor's ascendancy, there's really not a whole hell of a lot we can do to avoid it if they want to go that route.

We need to fight the battles we have before us.

But yes, it is important to keep in mind that 2008 is a long ways away and there is no reason to believe W has any interest in leaving office.

We are probably a major terrorist attack away from martial law, and I think people should keep that in mind when planning for the future.
