...don't shoot the messenger.

8. If this was a video of my personal day
on November 4 if that nightmare scenario played out, the last shot would be of my plane for Belize taking off - one way ticket.

37. It will provide a wealth of material for the cast of SNL, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.
As for everyone else:

We're screwn!

14. If they REALLY
wanted to scare the SHIT out of swing voters, that video should've ended with a hearse and McCrap's picture followed by Churchy Spice's acceptance speech. On second thought, that may have caused riots, so this is probably good enough.

30. Absolutely. That was pretty sobering as is, but really only preaches to the converted.
Let's show people the reality of a Palin/McCain administration.

38. Actually, and regardless of those 'silly' succession rules...
it'd probably be a Palin/Palin administration if the old man passed on. A fundie religious freak and a secessionist. Both hicks from Thunderfuck, both hell-bent on 'getting the job done.' OK, I'm scaring myself now.

That's the point of it. Take nothing for granted. Work hard. Donate. Eyes on the prize.

50. Glad someone else got that too. I've nearly tripled my efforts in the last week.
I have an 11 year old and that scenario terrifies me, it really, really does.

15. Would riot footage be accompanying that?
Three WORDS (President Sarah Palin) ought to be enough to scare people shitless. You would THINK?

This country would dive into chaos should that eventuality arise. A Jesus-Camper "End Timer" whackadoo know-nothing as your President? The office isn't taken seriously NOW, thanks to the Failure Fuhrer. It'd be rendered completely worthless should she make it.

27. If someone doesn't do something about the damned hackable machines soon, this will be our future.
I'll bet a massive campaign to control them has been in the works for months.

28. Many people are doing many things -- and here are things YOU can do!
Check out the action website for the film STEALING AMERICA: Vote By Vote. This is the most comprehensive listing of projects that individuals and groups can take on to impact the integrity of this year's election.

On this particular page there's a chart that helps you choose a project based on your time availability, specific interest, availability to travel, etc.

39. I wouldn't want to watch that more than once
And I will counter it with a hundred imaginings of what it will feel like when the election is called for Obama.

Seriously. I know it's kind of woo-woo stuff but I think it's better to imagine a good outcome than to fear a bad one. I know life would go on if McCain won, but I think I would feel worse than I did in 2004, and I suspect I'm not alone. So I thank you for the reminder of how important the election is, but I am going to counteract it by imagining how ecstatic we will be when Obama wins. I can't imagine how glorious that will feel, but I look forward to finding out!

Edited on Sun Sep-28-08 03:19 AM by GrizzlyMan
I mean I think it would, but it's easy to see him as being quite dangerous with access to nuclear weapons particularly with his rage issues.
