filkertomThis is what it's come to: In the United States, on major media outlets, people are calmly discussing under what circumstances we should "postpone" elections.
No long rant needed for this one, gang. These mothers want to stay in power so badly that they lie through their fucking teeth about everything on a daily basis. And now they tell us that, to prevent terrorists "disrupting" our elections, they are prepared to disrupt our elections.
Impeach. Impeach. Impeach. Impeach.
Update: Today's Top 10 Conservative Idiots is a particularly vile recap of a bunch of other reasons why We Cannot Trust Our Current Government.

Date: 2004-07-12 06:29 am (UTC)What's more, is that the administration has no proof whatsoever that any terrorist action is going to disrupt the elections.
The power-hungry ones who are talking so calmly about disrupting the elections are the real terrorists, IMO...

Date: 2004-07-12 07:49 am (UTC)Remember that scene in Schindler's List? The one echoed over and over again, where a Jewish person suffers another indignity and says, "Well, it can't get any worse than this?" Remember how you felt, as an observer, knowing it could and would get much, much worse than those poor people ever imagined????
That's how I feel right now.

Date: 2004-07-12 09:07 am (UTC)- One of their definitions of a "doomsday scenario" seems to be getting voted out of office.
- Wouldn't postponing the elections be another way of letting those who want to disrupt them win?
Delay makes Cheney look like a pussycat
Date: 2004-07-12 09:11 am (UTC)As I mentioned in another forum, there's a scenario even scarier (mostly because it's more plausible) than cancelling the elections, and that's having the elections proceed on the scheduled day, but a couple of large cities shut down for a trumped up terrorist emergency. Illinois, for instance, would go Republican if the city of Chicago itself were prevented from voting but the suburbs were allowed to function normally. We learned last time that they don't have to steal very many states to steal the whole election through the anachronistic stupidness called the Electoral College.
