I was listening to Fox News during Brit Hume's show (he wasn't there for some reason). They were talking about how there could be a 25% chance the election won't be decided for almost a month or even longer if the election is a real tight one and the lawsuits start flying because of "alleged" voter fraud.
All I got to say is that I don't want to be up night again like I was during the last presidential election. I assume you folks don't want to be either. I now find myself wanting to avoid the news just so I won't continually hear this kind of talk but yet it's something that is a real threat.
Besides a stiff bourbon (I don't drink alc-e-holic beverages) what are we going to do this year to make it through what could possibly be the worst election night in national history?
If Kerry doesn't win and he won't, the dems will by crying voter fraud till the cows comes home.
Yes, they appealed it...but who knows how that will end up. It is the same county that has more voters than the census says people are living there. the whole purpose of voting at a specific precinct is so the workers can see if someone has voted twice, etc. When you allow someone to go to different precincts, they can take different absentee ballots (of dead union guys) and vote it at eaching polling place.
There is no voter disenfranchisement, remember that, only voter fraud.... If anyone, from any party, race, creed, religion or planet, wanted to vote, they could have already done so with an absentee vote. On election day you will see the Dems read from their playbook and charge voter fraud! You may even see the union thugs storm certain precincts, although that may be a violation of federal law.
Gee petti, what happened to your wife last election night might happen to the entire nation this election night. Except the outcome would not be a joyful event.
I took the whole next day off after the 2000 fiasco. I was so sick from worry that I couldn't eat for days afterwards.
While I watched FOX tonight...a million thoughts went through my mind..but I think the MOST upsetting to me is the possibility the Dems will attempt to supress the military vote.
As a babyboomer I can honestly say although we've been through some rough times- this is the first time I've truly feared for the state of our republic.
I was so freaked out during those weeks I went out and bought a brand new car. A Honda, which still runs as good as when I bought it.
Why can't the Republican lawyers use the democrats 66 page voter fraud paper as proof that they are only making it up - that is, if results are challenged.
All the more reason to pray for a landslide. The country doesn't need another 5 week election teetering on the RAT fraud vote.
I just can't believe that the rats have no regard for the law. If Bush wins this election I'm gonna start a letter writing campaign for voting reform.
You nail it. I think the Democratic party is an undemocratic group of thugs. They are extremists and they will do anything to acheive their ends. It is really scary.
As an optimist, let me mention (as I've done before) one of the few benefits of a long election night. If things are going well for the good guys as they did in 1994, switch over to CBS and watch Rather. The fear and terror in his eyes is worth it. The lies and misrepresentaions that he presents as "news" becomes frantic; it is wonderful. Click back to FOX regularly so you know the truth but check CBS for the fantasy! And, the broader the good guys' win the more fun it is!
What do you think?
I wonder if they need help anywhere here in Indiana?
This is the twisted legacy of Al Gore, who, unlike Nixon and Ford, put himself before the country. I would prefer that Bush lose and patriotically refuse to contest the election that he continue this monstrous legacy and win. For the sake of the country, this spiral down to the level of a Banana Republic must stop.
You will never again see a presidential election in America that does not go into election day as an official draw. This election has been sculpted that way for months now. It is a media work of art. It's really a black velvet painting of dogs playing poker worth $20. It's going to be displayed as something else and worth about an additional $300 million in advertising during the holiday season, allowing networks to charge prices a lot higher than dogs playing poker!
Do either of you have the link to that prayer commitment thread?
My gut feeling (keep in mind my gut is currently filled with 3 margaritas and 4 tacos) is Bush will win about 52 percent of the popular vote and easily win the needed electoral votes.
I stayed up late in 2000 and vividly remember seeing Bush's lead in Florida of 60,000 votes evaporate in about an hour. The precincts that reported in that hour were going Gore at a very high percentage (>80%). It had to be vote fraud and they did it in the middle of the night when very few people were awake to see it.
