I fear election fraud

[boolean]

Even with the Dems up in the polls, after seeing the diebold video, I fear that it doesn't even matter anymore.

If they rig another election and have the pugs pull another victory up their collective asses, the dems will once again back down and do absolutely NOTHING about the election fraud. Anyone who claims the fraud will be called a sore loser and/or a whiner.

This is not a conspiracy theory. There are several studies that show election fraud DID HAPPEN in 2004 in Ohio. Exit poll data. Whistle blowers. It's all there and NOBODY CARES. Kerry is the legitimate president of the United States.

Yet, where are the millions of people marching in the streets? Where are the democrats fighting tooth and nail to stop this obvious destruction of Democracy?

I understand the this kind of shit needs media exposure and the media is clearly not on our side. But we can get the media on our side if we gather enough people to march the streets and demand an end to this fascist dictatorship that has taken over.

I'm talking Russian Revolution style protesting. No more of this one day shit. It's time to shut the entire fucking country down until a true Democracy is restored. Do you all realize that Democracy is DEAD in the United States of America? With bush using "signing statements" to make up his own laws, with the rigging of the last 2 elections (at least), with the media controlled by corporations backed by powerful GOPers? It's already all over. The Internet is the only thing left keeping the truth, and they're about to attack that, too. Make no mistake, the Internet will be regulated eventually if we all don't wise up and then it'll be too late.

It's not too late, yet.

When the GOP wins in November yet again, and the exit polls once again show discrepancies and evidence of outright fraud, will the people finally stand up and end this bullshit?

1. You should and I do too...

2. Don't fear it. Expect it. And hope the populace can demand change

without getting microwaved by the Air Force during protests.

8. The Message from the USAF General Was Unmistakably Clear

They're saying they are going to steal the election,
and they'll fry us if we try to stop them.

Note that the Air Force is almost completely taken over by Fundies,
who will have no qualms about using those horrible weapons on us.

9. Yes, because nice people don't take such delight in torturing

innocent people.

10. Yup. My thoughts exactly. n/t

3. Too Many MORONS

I'm honestly beginning to think this is the start of some bad times in this country.

People laugh when I say that someday I might leave the U.S. completely, and relocate somewhere not quite as Fixed and filled with MORONS.

I think that between 20-35% of this country are MORONS, and they are bent on taking control of things, and dragging us down. Of course, since they're MORONS, they don't comprehend this quite yet.

4. This is just one of

the fears I live with. I can't seem to shake the feeling that everything has already been rigged toward the Repubs. It is not etched in stone, but they have gotten away with so much it is difficult to see how they can not continue to succeed. Until about 5/6 years ago I was the ultimate optimist. Always saw the glass as half full, believed in the power of positive thinking and all that other "good" stuff. I really want this nightmare to end.

5. "When the GOP wins in November yet again...

...and the exit polls once again show discrepancies and evidence of outright fraud, will the people finally stand up and end this bullshit?"

How I'd love to honestly say I believe the answer to your question is yes, but events of the last five years seem to indicate that the American public is frightened, numb, self deluding, and in deep denial---so, no.

6. I was ready to spend one weekend a month in DC in front of the White House

after the Supremes appointed Georgie boy in 2000. I couldn't believe that no one was organizing a protest.

I suspect there might be some groups that will organize now. But, will we turn out?

Look what happened in Mexico, despite huge protests.

7. I'm expecting the Republicans to maintain control of both

houses of Congress, though by a slimmer margin.

It'll all be totally fraudulent, of course- and in a real vote they'd be swept out of both. They know the public perception is that the Republicans are going to lose big, so they'll sacrifice a few seats here and there. But they won't give up control of Congress, no matter how blatantly they have to cheat to hold it.

They know very well that the corporate media will fall right into line when they see that Republicans have stolen another election and remain in control.

11. I try to keep my negativity to myself,

but I tell you, I am about at the end of my rope. If the '06 & '08 elections go the way of '00, '02 & '04, what's the point in continuing the charade of voting?

13. At Least Make Them Go to the Trouble of Stealing It

Maybe Blackwell will get repetitive stress injuries from stealing so many votes.

12. Unfortunately with the media bought and paid for, marching in the streets

does nothing - HOWEVER - the internet is our new "street" to march in. Getting the info out on the new media is crucial. Now if those in power who could do something WOULD, I would feel a lot better. Also remember to boycott the machines. I sent in an application for an absentee ballot this afternoon.

14. My fear is 216-217 in House and 50-50 in Senate

with the blue states becoming extremely blue. The stage will then be set for the end of the republic.
