Rethugs Can't Risk a Free Election.....
They know it and down deep so do you. They need a draft real soon.....Fodder for the next three wars they have planned. Do you think they are going to risk the Senate and the House ??? Wake up Dems. We are about to witness the most blatant vote fraud in the history of the world.

Your thoughts...

1. A lot of moderate Dems agree...
Those who used to think us the "loony left". Basically the idea I have heard repeated is that "there is no way republicans will relinquish power in 2008", though the means they will used to hold it vary.

2. Frankly, I don't think they're that well organized . . .
Voter intimidation, registration suppression, purging of rolls, misallocation of voting machines, and the odd Diebold black box here and there -- you know, the standard Ohio/Florida approach -- is a distinct possibility.

But will they be able to do it countrywide? I think if we can win races with 2-3 percentage points, they'll be effectively un-stealable. I realized that's a tall order, but if we want to be able to start the long series of investigations that the Republickers and especially this administration deserve, we'd better reach those levels.

9. True, but it's going to be tough. A much larger conspiracy . . .
Than 2004, with a lot of their tricks already rendered useless because they were one-time-only frauds.

Wouldn't put it past 'em to try, but I think they're quite likely to get caught this time.

11. Caught?
By whom? The GAO said 2004 was stolen and nothing happened.

3. Unfortunately I agree with you
And I have been worried about this for quite some time. I am going to vote this November anyway. I am not going to let a bunch of thugs make me feel like my Constitutional RIGHT (And duty for that matter) is irrelevant, fraud or no fraud.

And I would encourage EVERY SINGLE DU'er and American to DO THE SAME.

If we make the turnout big enough, perhaps the theft will be obvious enough that people will wake up.

I know there is a lot of doom and gloom around that, but what have we got to lose?

I would rather spend the rest of my days fighting and resisting these people than giving in to them.

Are they going to try and steal everything?

OF COURSE THEY ARE.

Vote anyway.

Fuck them.
