Am I the only one that has a creepy feeling about the 2008 elections?

[Javaman]

I just can't help to think that the repukes are going to pull a fast one.

[EOTE]

1. Yep, you're the only one.

Republicans are far too honorable to disregard the electoral process 3 times in a row. Twice maybe, but certainly not 3 times.

[Lerkfish]

3. you need a sarcasm smiley, there I think.

[EOTE]

15. I thought the sarcasm is implied.

I know inflection often doesn't come through in text, but I thought that was fairly obvious.

[SammyWinstonJack]

21. It was. n/t

[mwb970]

2. I wouldn't put it past them.

What scares me is that they are acting as if they have no fear of ever being out of power again. When I hear commentators talk about the pendulum swinging, and how Republican changes could come back to bite them when the Dems are in power, I always think "And what makes you think the Dems will ever be in power again?" THEY obviously don't.

[FreedomAngel82]

17. The reason of that

is because them and their connections to the Diebold machine and how they can easily rig the votes and the owners are hardcore republicans. I remember hearing a rumor back in Bush's first term he tried to change the amount of times a president can run. Is that true? They're really high on power now which makes them cocky and when someone gets cocky they're bound to make mistakes. It's like with Hitler. He was really cocky but didn't plan very well and he made a mistake and his whole plan failed. Just like these people will fail. It will take hard work and telling the truth of course since it's harder this time around since they own the media.

4. I hate to say this to a fellow DUer, but duh.

Of course they will. They're not interested in Democracy--only the appearance of Democracy.

[FreedomAngel82]

18. They're not even interested in democracy

They're just interested in converting people to their warped view of Christianity so they can get away with hell.

[DistressedAmerican]

5. It Sicklens Me But I See President Jeb Coming!

[raccoon]

10. That's what I'm thinking nt

[FreedomAngel82]

19. He can't win without Florida

and a lot of people are angry at him for the Terri Schavio fiasco either way. Either not doing anything like they think he could've or for butting in. It's a lose-lose situation. I hope anyways. I think their 2008 nominee will either be McCain or Frist (God I hope not).

[patrice]

6. The stakes will be even higher than in this one.

Every time I see Cheney for president I despair.

[walldude]

7. There's gonna be an election in 2008?

Not too sure about that, at the rate we're going....

[Lerkfish]

8. I have said there won't be a 2008 "election".

I think if one occurs (if we have escaped martial law), it will be a 2008 "selection'.
where anyone and everyone can vote, because the "right" people are counting the votes.

How will you know this? When the republicans start not worrying about how many people or what types of people register. THEN you'll know they've locked up the machinery.

[lady lib]

9. EOTE, I really hope you're joking.

Read Brad Blog for another big, stinking helping of "creepy feeling."

[FreedomAngel82]

20. Yep

They're trying to make sure we have voting machines everywhere. I'll be damned if that happens here. They'll try though so it's up to us to fight them now.

[natrat]

11. livin the dream baby,, imean nightmare

arnolds new sec of state in california just appointed one of diebold's crew to a high position. They will take , take, take. Not sure how you can stop them. I was hoping that we would somehow be able to hold out here in Ca. but I don't know.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

12. Of course. They have all the machinery in place to do it again and again..

The Repubs in power are almost as bad as Bush/Rove. They voted to give Bush everything he wants and thought nothing of screwing over their constituents.

[zbdent]

13. What 2008 elections?

There's a war on! We can't change horses in midstream!

[meganmonkey]

14. Yeah, with Baker on the Election reform commission

and their devastating conference yesterday (think - VOTER ID good, paper ballot bad) we are in some serious trouble.

:(

[TheModernTerrorist]

16. I'm sure 2008 will be fine

you know, after Armaggeddon is over ;-)

[AntiCoup2K4]

22. The DLC's excuse for the morning after the election

Obviously our ticket of Joe Lieberman/Evan Bayh was too liberal for middle America. We must move to the center....
