Or are you now just rolling with the punches?
Catherine the Great (Karl's better half) is a student of history too. And she recalls from her studies of the Spanish Flu that elections were postponed during that outbreak.
The November 2014 elections, only 49 days away, are cautiously predicted to be a Republican blow-out. Or, more accurately, a clear “no confidence” vote for the current regime.
If I were a) dishonest, b) power hungry with communist inspirations, and c) convinced I could get away with it - aka a Democrat - I too would postpone cancel the elections in the name of safety.
I think this one rates a Stage 3 ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome). I explored Stage 2 in my original Ebola post: Suspend the Constitution?.
Personally, I still think this is a bunch of noise that will peter out. I hope you will join me in a couple months for a hearty laugh.

At this point NOTHING is going to shock or disappoint me!
President ‘A%$ Hat’ has all the bases covered on ‘crazy’ and ‘incredible’!
There are enough problems to worry about so let’s make up things.
Such an EO would have another name...... “Death Warrant” upon being signed
But...but...but.....they also "try" to follow the law whenever they can! Or rather, whenever it's convenient.
1)Fear mongering about “canceling elections” was mind-numbingly stupid when liberals did it during the Bush administration, and it’s stupid now.
As I pointed out – they’ve already floated that trial balloon.
And it was couched in terms of ‘Postponing’ elections
The Democratic National Communist party has been flaunting the law all over the place – why should this be an exception?
2)Ebola? Break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar.
What?
Are you seriously denying Ebola or ISIS is a threat?
You are letting facts get in the way of a good narrative....
LOL! Yes, one of them actually said that.
This time it’ll be - We’re trying to follow election law...
The way to get that is to have term limits.
What Facts?
Consider what they’ve done or haven’t done so far.
On the one hand his majesty Obama has declared Ebola to be a threat – but instead of protecting the country he’s sending off troops to Africa.
Same thing on ISIS – he decided they need to be stopped or degraded or something….. and yet he hasn’t done anything the protect the country on that score either.
Hey! Protecting the border would done both – it would be a two-fer.
What facts? Well, the 1918 congressional elections were held as planned despite the spanish flu and the left has fretted over possible canceled elections. As far as ebola, believe what you will but there are a LOT other things that I am personally more worrisome than ebola so I am not in the least bit affected by the scare mongering.

“Same thing on ISIS – he decided they need to be stopped or degraded or something….. and yet he hasn’t done anything the protect the country on that score either.”
Right...We have a Southern border like a torn pocketbook and HE’S worried about Ebola in Africa?
Of course ISIS is a threat....Ebola?...yawn. But what does that have to do with a post that makes the outrageous claim that the 1918 congressional elections were cancelled because of the spanish flu, and then uses this lie as the basis that we should be worried about the coming election being cancelled?
BTW, I was just passing along what was stated in the article I excerpted.
And word they used was ‘postponed’ – why did you change it?
Rare voices of reason...
Rare voices of reason...
Who don’t think a disease that has killed thousands of people is a threat…
... are you sure about that?
