2. It'll be easy to tell.
If the Puggies retain control, the midterms will have been stolen.

4. BINGO
It's already been decided.

Don't let that stop you from voting. Just don't expect much. The Dems will LOSE. They always LOSE. It's what they do best.

5. So why even vote?
See, it's people like you, who are all gloom and doom who discourage others from voting by throwing up your hands and saying things like that. I am going to vote and I am going to vote for the candidates who best represent my points of view and I don't care what any doom sayer says.

12. I say Vote like crazy
I cant vote, I'm a NewZealander.

But I say vote like crazy, encourage everybody you know to vote, get out there, and make sure its a huge turnout, campaign for your candidate, get the issues out in the publics mind.

I'm just saying , it will be rigged, and when it is I hope every American citizen marches and stages civil disobedience.

6. We should just give up now.
Why bother doing anything ever again politically? Either move to a country that works, or just get practiced at looking the other way.

7. I'll still vote, but I agree with you.
I have completely lost faith in our politcal process.

8. Not this again
They will not be stolen, there is no doubt in my mind we will win. There is no need for defeatist talk.

11. There will certainly be a concerted effort to do that very thing.
And I have no idea how to stop it, other than advise Dems to steal the hell out of the elections, too. But since they won't stand up to the pubs in any way, I doubt they'd do something as outrageous as hack Diebold machines.

14. Then please quit wasting your time posting at a political website.
If you think the fix is in, what's left to discuss?
