Our side doesn't demonstrate. At least, not as a usual thing. Remember in the 2000 elections that when a few Republicans peacefully demonstrated outside the building where the DemocRAT controlled elections board was trying to meet in secret to manufacture votes for Gore, it so surprised the liberal media that they referred to it as a “Republican riot”

Still, what side is more likely to be armed, if it comes to violence in the streets.

Know what I think will happen? Nothing. They will be so disappointed in the American people that they will wash their hands of our vile society and retire back into their mother's basements. A few blogs and editorials will be written, and of course a campaign to delegitmate McCain's presidency will commence.

The Euroweenies are more likely to do something. Perhaps they will stop inviting their American acquaintances to their parties in Paris and Milan.

There is a rarely told story about R demonstrations in Florida in ‘00.

Dem lawyer Harry Goodman of the Orlando area brought suit in Seminole County (30 miles north of Orlando) to invalidate all military absentee ballots statewide.... and he DID have some excellent legal points on his side.

While all the attention was focused on recounts in South Florida, had Jacobs succeeded in getting even a TRO, Gore would have been way ahead.

National Republican forces were all committed in South Florida.

We put the word out on FR and had about 200 FReepers and FRiends yelling and screaming outside the courthouse. We were so loud a deputy sheriff came to ask us to tone it down because they couldn't hear each other in the courtroom!

The comment everywhere was “Republicans/Conservatives demonstrating?”

There were “W1” signs everywhere!

As a result, they moved the matter to Leon County (Tallahassee) where it got wrapped into the whole statewide issue, and disappeared.

Thank you FReepers!

Make that Harry JACOBS. Goodman is his wife.

I think it would be funny if they tried to move to Canada, France, or New Zealand, only to find all three countries saying "Oh, no you don't. We have enough assistant professors, unemployed writers, and Starbucks barristers."
