The "fix" (Cindy Sheehan suspects president will suspend elections, endorses Ron Paul)
Cindy Sheehan for Congress Blog ^ | October 22, 2007 | Cindy Sheehan

Posted on 11/25/2007 7:02:46 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

There is quite a lot of interesting, but wild, speculation running around the blog-o-sphere, progressive circles and just plain dinner conversation these days about whether BushCo will allow a peaceful and constitutional transfer of Executive power in the ’08 elections.

Unless or until George Bush appears on our TV boxes one night, wearing a dark blue suit, white shirt and red tie with his hands sweatily clasped in a desperate death grip on top of his desk in the Oval Office, telling us that some catastrophic event, whether man-made or natural, has just occurred somewhere, and he must, for the good of the Homeland, declare martial law and “temporarily” suspend elections, the fears of many people are truly speculative. In my nightmare scenario, after George drops this fascist bomb and kills the rest of our Republic, he will tell us not to worry and to go about our holiday shopping, traveling and celebrating: it’s the American way, after all. God Bless America.

The order of events in the conversations I have heard or read go something like this: BushCo and Congress, Inc are ramping up the rhetoric for an attack on Iran (true). In their little minds and black hearts they still assume that most of us are still stupid and we will believe anything they ever say again (true). Yet, they have told us that Iran and Ahmadinejad have done just about everything except try to assassinate George’s Pop (still true). So, if you believes that 9-11 was a “false flag” op, then you say that BushCo will engineer ANOTHER false flag op, blame Iran, declare martial law, (George can do that unilaterally now because of Presidential Directive 51) and attack Iran, possibly using “strategic” nuclear strikes on “military” targets. Then of course, when our Homeland is in such a terrible state of emergency, it would be an awful idea to “change horses in the middle of the stream,” you know, so we must suspend elections: Thereby, staging yet BushCo’s third coup in a row: the first two being the stolen elections of 2000 and 2004.

If, God forbid, any of this does happen, my guess is most of us will go shopping and have our holidays as usual, however, I am not so certain that martial law or even suspending elections will be necessary. Whoever becomes our president in 2008 will likely be more than happy to continue the neo-con agenda of global, imperial and military, American hegemony.

The likely nominee for the Democratic Party will be Hillary Clinton, a Fem-Bush who has been virtually endorsed by George and accepts money from Rupert Murdoch, he of Fox “News” infamy and who will soon own every newspaper and cable news network in the Homeland.

Hillary guarantees and assures us that if she is elected she could nuke Iran and maybe, just maybe have most of our troops home from Iraq by the end of her first term. One would have to step down onto the 2nd tier of Democratic hopefuls to find a candidate who would guarantee us a swift end to the occupation of Iraq but they are no match to the money or machine behind the Clinton mojo.

I don’t want to even discuss who is likely to be the Republican nominee, because besides having little foreign policy difference between any of them and Hillary, anyone of them would be a complete disaster on matters of war and peace, with the possible exception of Ron Paul (Tx). Even though many of them, (except Rudy Giuliani who had the “honor” of standing on a pile of rubble at Ground Zero with George after 9-11 and sharing a bull-horn with him), distance themselves from the miserable failure of the Bush regime, they will all joyfully allow themselves to be used by the military industrial complex, after all, every president since FDR has. There is no reason to think any Repug or Dem will break with this deadly pattern.

The “fix” is in, folks.

The “fix” stopped Al Gore, who really won the 2000 election, from fighting for our country and our constitution by supporting those Congressional members who begged him, through tears, to sign on to continue the recount in Florida. The “fix” stopped millions of Americans from pouring into the streets to protest the fact that the Supreme Court treasonously and treacherously appointed the less than mediocre governor of Texas as next president of the USA, (which wasn't the Homeland, yet).

The “fix” is why Kerry cave into George faster then anyone could even say "recount" in 2004, breaking so many hearts and crushing so many hopes.

The “fix” is the elite establishment status quo of the way things have “always been.” We have always had just a Democratic and Republican Party, right? Wrong!

The “fix” is in the mainstream media, which rarely discusses any substantive issues and has in the past intentionally misled the Homeland in its partnership with BushCo to glorify war while hiding, or glossing over, its awful costs and consequences.

The "fix" is in compromised voting machines whose programs are written by the elite establishment and the "fix" is in the disenfranchisement, iterally and spiritually, of hordes of voters who have seen their votes go uncounted for years and who see their "elected" representatives ignore the will of their constituents, in any case.

The "fix" is in We the People who believe that we some how owe any kind of allegiance or support to the elite establishment who have impoverished,imprisoned, oppressed and killed our children for generations while we furiously, but inexplicably cling to a status quo that clearly only benefits a very chosen few. It is acceptable to protest obvious infractions like the illegal and immoral occupation of Iraq...but don't scratch the surface too deeply because we are not sure of what may ooze out. What emerges may be something that is very hard to acknowledge, let alone face and overcome.

George Bush simply does not want to be President any longer. You can see it in every twitch (when I think he is really trying to smirk), every gray hair and every line on his face. He desperately wants to go back to Texas and go on permanent vacation to give high paid lectures (?) to pad his bank account so he can jog, ride bikes, clear brush, and live the rest of his life with the moral certitude of a simpleton. He looks like he is barely being held together by baling-wire, spit and some judiciously placed wads of bubble gum. Stick a fork in him: he’s done. I do not even think that Dastardly Dick could force him to remain President after January, ’09. I hope I am right, but there is still the “I can not put anything past the Bush Crime Cabal” factor.

Barring an electoral revolution of American citizens wanting to fix the “fix” by voting with our humanity, consciences and integrity, instead of out of fear that the greater criminal will win. We will be faced with two choices, depending on ones perspective: Evil or Less Evil.

I will break my voting hand before I vote for Mr./Ms Lesser of Two Evils, ever again.

Join me in taking the Voters for Peace Pledge.

To show the mindset of our enemies and illustrate how far off the chart Ron Paul is.

Get real. Sheehan mentions Paul in a passing reference, and you call that an endorsement? Where does she explicitly endorse Dr. Paul?

Do you realize how disingenuous you've gotten? Please take me off your stupid Fred PING list.

I was wondering if she is spending a lot of her time on her campaign to run against Pelosi. Doesn’t she have to establish residency?

He's a Paulestinian, so you probably have him on some sort of double-secret, hidden agenda, Council on Foreign Relations/Bilderburger type Fred PING list that even you and I are not privy to...

Sheehan will probably endorse Paul more explicitly soon. Sheehan and “libertarian” writer Lew Rockwell were or are dating and Rockwell is a huge Paulestinian.

Plus, when it comes to foreign policy there is no difference between Sheehan and Paul.

it sounds eerily like the right-wing blogosphere fears that Clinton would use Y2K or some other problem as an excuse to suspend the 2000 elections and retain power

And I recall reading the same thing on Fidonet and BBSs in the 80s that Reagan was going to do the same. Thereafter of course, it was Bush I. It's always "Suspend the constitution and declare himself leader".

Bunk then, bunk now.

Wow, she attacks Bush, supports Iran, and even implicitly attacks FDR.

I sense a new career for this woman in the John Birch Society!

Is there even one at all, or does it consist of senior citizens doozing off at one of Fred's speeches.

There's no "endorsement" here, lay off the Jack Daniels.

Her endorsement of him is inevitable IMO.

And criticizing every single Republican running for President except Paul is an implicit endorsement.

I agree that the anti-war left and anti-war right have differing motives for opposing the War on Terror, but the end result is the same: cutting-and-running in Iraq and surrender.

It doesn’t matter if it’s done in the name of anti-Americanism (Sheehan) or noninterventionism (Paul).

This is why Kucinich is able to entertain the thought of a Paul/Kucinich ticket: they have the same goals albeit for different reasons.

It’s funny, I have run across a few Paul supporters who speak highly of Kucinich. It is stange because they are complete opposites. I think these folks are either ignorant (supporting radical change just for the sake of radical change) or they are truthers. Either or, they have no real foundation in the limited government roots, which the vast majority of Paul supporters subscribe to.
