Doomed, Unless
Just saw a report where the majority of a group thinks aWol is gonna keep everybody safe.

That's it, in a nutshell. Even though aWol let the hijackers slip in without warning, even though he sat there for at least seven minutes after he knew America was under attack, and even after he started a war of lies, they think he's the friggin messiah.

Doomed.
Unless.

Unless there are so many new voters coming out of the woodwork to vote against the dimson, causing the voting machines to not be able to wash away so many votes with a click, unless something happens in the next several days to wake the sheeple from their slumber, we are doomed.

Just in case: It's been nice knowing ya'll. Peace.

If B*sh gets elected, or reselected, we're done for. Game, set, match.

He will bring down the full weight of the jack-booted thugs upon anyone who opposes his regime, and there's plenty of opposition right here. Yeah, we may think we are all anonymous, but we can be traced and uncovered.

No one who has ever opposed this cabal will be safe. Look what he's done to the innocent Iraqis, people who never did a damn thing to America and he's got Americans believing he's their savior. Do you think those people are gonna stand up for us?

If B*sh is still in office come January 25th, we are doomed.

For nothing.

Did ya miss the "Unless" part of the post? There is hope. But we also had hope the war would never start, that his lies would be exposed and he'd be impeached, and so on and so on.

Do you not realize some of our fellow Americans think he's the messiah? If you don't, you need to get educated, know your enemy and all that.

2. Correction: he let the hijackers slip in WITH warning
plenty of warnings about those guys, but the WH issued instructions not to hassle those nice Saudi boys.

6. That's too pessimistic!
Certainly there are some Merikuns who think that concentration camps are the safest way to go these days. I mean, how safe can you get? You get fences, razor-wire, guards, dogs, etc. And it's all free ... well, just for the price of slave labor ;)

But the Forefather haters who betray their obligation to the tradition of this country and the sacred ascendancy of the Constitution and Bill of Rights over all else, are not going to vote the Great Dictator back in.

In my gut, I feel that the underlying current, the core, the roots of the American people as a while, will be the providence that brings them to ignore the power-hungry usurper's siren song. This time, more citizens will be tuned to the just frequency of liberty that will give them the means to resist the piper who calls them to join him in World conquest, hidden agendas, mass deception, and feigned compassion.

Although he ripped-off part of the line from a Who song, Resident Bush will be caught by his own botched line: Fool me once, shame on me! Fool me twice ... WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN!

As the lord of the flies stumps what health he has left out of his system, his diatribes now sound more like a pitiful anthem of defeat that grows more compelling and prescient with every tick of the clock. His Orwellian, terrorist regime is about to be defeated by operation American Freedom!

9. Yeah, well, I hope you're right
But ya know, the pollsters don't see things the same way as we do. There are a lot of people who think aWol is the second coming. A lot.

Do I think it's all over. Hell no. There is still time for the "Unless" part of my post to play out. And lord knows I hope it does play out. But just in case, I just wanted tio say how much I've enjoyed all this....

Edited on Thu Oct-14-04 11:34 PM by BeFree
Right after B*sh was elected and after a speech of his, I saw that America was going to have something very bad happen to it. Less than 8 months later, there it was: 9/11

I faced the fear, I punched it between the eyes, but it still occured, but thanks for your wisdom.

Besides, I plan on surviving, but I don't plan on DU surviving, IF he's reselected.

12. "the majority of a group"??? Could you be any less specific?
Was this the "wives of fundy republican congressman" group? How many in the group?

Unless the group had 140 million voters than calm down.

13. Not only that group
But a lot of the (currently) 48% of Americans polled STILL think he's king. STILL. What will it take?

I also personally know many people who look up to him and his wisdom. These people are deluded, yes. Mix in the corrupted voting machines and you get a recipe ripe for disaster.

Let's not stick our heads in the sand or swim in the river of denial, take note and be prepared.

15. One more time, I'm looking for the info on this "group" you witnessed
Edited on Thu Oct-14-04 11:58 PM by FoeOfBush
where the majority of them were for bush*. And just to make this perfectly clear, this other poll you've now referred to with 48% thinking bush* is king, what did the other 52% (Majority) think?

Did the poll only ask who people thought were king? Cuz frankly, NO ONE'S more anxiuos to vote FOR Kerry than I, but if I came across that poll, I'd say he acts like he's king george and depending on thte other choices just might vote that way myself.

What was your point again?

18. The poll I referenced
Don't quite remember the details, but recall the pollster's name was popular.

48% of ABC polled thought Kerry or B*sh, leaves 4% undecided/Nader.

My point, again: Unless there is an overwhelming force of voters showing up at the polls for Kerry, B*sh will be reselected and he'll have vengeance upon his opposition, us.

Merely an observation, really. Not earth shattering, by any means, or previously unknown, just thought I'd throw it out.

Don't be too alarmed. B*sh doesn't stand a chance? Right?

20. Wait a minute! Kerry got 48% and bush* got 48% and we're doomed,
unless?

Hoo boy. You must be a total basketcase with the upss and downs of this election season.

It's okay to work under the assumption the race is tied to keep the intensity up, but I think you may need a break.

22. Ok, so if B*sh wins were not doomed?
Is that what you are saying?

Or are you skipping the part where I wrote: Unless voters come out of the woodwork and elect Kerry, aWol will win. Did you miss that?

Just read another thread where the BOE is rejecting new registrations. Do you think they won't do everything possible to limit the new dems going to the polls? Wake up!

Look, B*sh should be running at about 2% of the vote. But he's not, is he? He stands a damn good chance of being selected if we don't get every available dem voter to the polls. That's part of "Unless". How many times do I gotta tell ya'll that?

Damn knee-jerk Liberals.

26. You go insane over a poll you can't even remember the details of
and I'M the "damn knee-jerk liberal"?

bush* should be running at 60% of the vote and should be cruising to victory, I don't know where you get he should be at 2%. Remember the entire 'librul media' has been constantly harping about our "popular wartime preznit". So the dynamics say he should be WAAAAYYYY ahead, but due to the strength of our candidate, he's even or down by a few points.

We all KNOW hat the future could hold should there be a lameduck bush* admin part 2, you don't have to preach that to anyone here, yet you insist all is lost when Nov 2nd is weeks away.

Don't look down, that's your own knee coming up fast toward your face. And we typically don't use liberal as an epithet round these parts either.

buck up, work hard, and quit whining.

my post?

What's my point? That your attempt to rally our side by a "don't let up yet" post failed miserably. The doom crap coupled with the mysterious "group" and the defeatist tone totally overshadowed the "unless" disclaimer.

You're second attempt thread about the election isn't won yet is a much better version.

And note the Unless part.

Or not. Continue with your "Toons", have fun making childish fun of the most dangerous man in the world, keep thinking your starry-eyed "good always prevails so we can just go on like we were."

If, and it looks pretty good that he will be, B*sh is reselected, your world is gonna throw you for a loop. Don't say I didn't try to warn ya.

19. Amazing...
How many deleted posts there are on this thread.

The heading was "Doomed, Unless" so, if you had read it you would know there is an out. It was not an all or nothing scenario. There is a chance things will work out just fine and Kerry is elected, and I pray he is elected.

You don't know this, but four years ago I told other E-friends that there wasn't much to worry about if B*sh was (s)elected. Boy was I wrong.

I'm covering my bases this time, there's too much too lose. If anyone is taking this election lightly, or has their head buried: Get with the program!

But factor in the voting machine snafu and what do ya get? B*sh.

People, PEOPLE! They stole the last election. Don't sit on your asses and let them do it again. Some of ya'll are acting like the election is already over and Kerry won. Forget that!
Everyone one of us needs to get people to the polls, make sure they vote Kerry, help out anyone who gets turned away and then watch - like a hwak - how the votes are tabulated and compiled. Do not rest! Get with the program!

Kerry hasn't won yet, but when you look back... 15 days ago it was the the night before the debate and * was looking in a lot better shape than he is in now. I don't understand where this post was a couple of weeks ago when * had a fairly sizeable lead. In the last 15 days Kerry has made up a lot of ground to pull even, and perhaps even ahead.

31. Welcome to DU, ND_Democrat
Yeah, Kerry is about even. I wished, and thought, he'd be about ten points ahead by now.... So, why isn't he? Shit!

Don't, for one second, think it's wrapped up. The pukes have shown, time and again that they fight to the very end and then keep at it. That's why they control things like they do.

Kerry has not won and there are a bunch of deluded people who think aWol is the best thing since sliced bread. Not only are we up against those deluded sheeple, we also have to be able to counter the vote stealing they've surely perfected over the last four years.

We've work to do and time is running out.

45. Well, I get your point, and wonder why the other

posters are trying to kill the messenger here.

Complacency is dangerous, guys.

I also note that you are the only poster in this thread whose name is familiar to me and I know you have been here longer than a couple of months. It thus occurs to me that you and I have perhaps been studying the problem longer than the others who have posted so far. So I'll say to anyone, "If you haven't been paying close attention since at least November, 2000, perhaps your optimism is due to lack of examination of what has already transpired."

I still have hope, but few illusions.
