If your television declares John McCain the president elect on the evening of November 4th, your television will be lying. You should immediately pick up your pre-packed bags and head straight to the White House in Washington, D.C., which we will surround and shut down until this attempt at a third illegitimate presidency is reversed.
A McCain "win" will not be illegitimate because I disagree with his policies, but because he himself has rendered it illegitimate. He and his campaign and allied supporters have sought to illegally remove hundreds of thousands of voters from the rolls, fraudulently registered people as Republicans without their knowledge and against their will, obstructed voter registration drives, falsely warned students against voting where they attend school, falsely accused community groups of voter registration fraud, falsely alleged the widespread existence of voter fraud, and encouraged supporters to falsely believe McCain's opponent is a foreign terrorist through speeches, recorded phone messages, and flyers. Already in early voting in a number of states there have been cases of votes on electronic machines visibly flipping to McCain or McKinney when intended for Obama. We will see McCain supporters on November 4th challenging people's right to vote, seeking to force people to vote on provisional ballots, and seeking to have provisional ballots discarded. And we will see electronic vote counts wildly out of step with the most recent polls, although not with exit polls -- which we will be denied any access to unless they have been "adjusted" to match the official counts.
Inciting your supporters to violence with racist and religious lies about your opponent, effectively alleging treason on absolutely no basis, should be enough, alone, to disqualify a campaign for the presidency of the United States. Working to block voters from registering should be enough on its own. Any of the dozens of creative forms of vote suppression currently being used by the Republicans should be enough. And allowing votes to be counted on completely unverifiable machines owned and controlled by corporations allied with your party should make the results illegitimate even if plausible. If McCain is declared the "winner," it will not be plausible, but at this point he has so disgraced himself and our electoral system that he is no longer a legitimate candidate for president regardless of what the polls (themselves fallible, but all we've got) say just before election day. Too many people have already been denied the opportunity to even push the buttons and have their votes miscounted. Too much incendiary slander has been let loose. Too much visible vote flipping has already been documented.
If Obama officially wins, McCain is likely to challenge it, charging the Obama campaign with some of the very crimes engaged in by McCain himself. Our reaction should be exactly the same in the event of a McCain challenge as in the event of a McCain "victory." We should not sit back for even a split second and wonder how it will work out. We should not try to organize a plan on the spur of the moment to travel to key battleground states. We should be prepared already to immediately travel to Washington, D.C., head straight for the White House, occupy Lafayette Square Park, the Ellipse, and surrounding streets, block entrances, and shut the place down until Obama is recognized as the president elect or we are guaranteed a credible election with universal registration and hand-counted paper ballots.
We may be there for days or weeks or months. But we must be there. We must be there by the millions. We must show each other, and the nation, and the world that we have had enough, that we will not stand for one more stolen election, that we will not give in to fear, lies, theft, and intimidation. If they choose to attack our nonviolent gathering of citizens, let them do it right in front of George W. Bush's White House with the world's media watching. We will not back down.
I'm not hoping it comes to this, of course. If it doesn't because the official election results are credible and just, we should celebrate and prepare to lobby our government for real change. But if resistance does not develop because people are too scared and obedient to act, then you'll still be glad you packed ahead of time, and you might want to look into tickets to Canada.
Lol. Grea post. Got the first laugh out of me this morning. Awesome post.
They are just the useful idiots of the Marxist revolution attempt.
Yup. I’m not looking forward to it.
“Why hasn’t this whack-job been arrested?”
Because as we all know, the rules do not apply to such people. Our cringing before them has brought us to this mess.
BLOAT
“Let them riot or resist or cry like the pathetic children they are. This way the media will have no choice but to report it and the country and possibly the whole world can see them for who they really are.
If this happens I hope it damages them to the point that no one will ever vote Democrat again (I know that’s a stretch but I can dream can I?).”
It’ll also make people aware of the need to give them a good flogging. This has to stop. I’ve given up on many people who should have been doing it, so frankly I suppose I and my peers will have to do the dirty work.
A lot of the loons think the 2004 election was also stolen, in Ohio (where Bush’s margin was 118,000 votes). That Bush had a 3-million vote margin nationally doesn’t enter into it, although they think Gore should have been given the election in 2000 because he had a plurality of half a million votes. I’ve even seen a book in a bookstore purporting to prove that Ohio was stolen in 2004. I believe RFK Jr. is one of the proponents of this view.
I think a lot of people will be showing up to vote in two weeks. Morning voting would be a good idea. Afternoon and evening will be a zoo.
November 5th might be a good day to schedule being off work.
We need to see Joe the Plumber on the campaign trail!!!
I would love to shake his hand....Manchester NH tomorrow!!!!
No need to punish them directly,
just take away all “government” subsidies that alleviate the consequences for their decisions.
Those consequences would punish them enough.
I would advise these leftist nuts to be very careful. The nation has witnessed an overt attempt at stealing this election in broad daylight with the MSMedia turning a blind eye. The anger of a million dirty hippies pales in comparison to the anger of a million 2nd Amendment loving American Patriots. Should the silent majority in this country feel our liberty is being stolen from us, the promised reaction of a few jobless louts will pale in comparison to what we will see in the streets from everyday Americans willing to liberate their country.
Let’s see now. It’s illegal to vote from where you don’t reside, so how is it fraudulent to tell students who use Mommy and Daddy’s address they can’t vote from school? How is it fraudulent to tell people who have lost their homes and no longer reside there they can’t use that home as their address?
Unfortunately here in Seattle its not just dirty hippies,
its supposededly smart well educated working people who
believe the O message. They are so disconnected with the
way people live and believe in the midsection of the country its a wonder they are even part of it. They talk of
places like Texas as if everyone there is a sterotype, and
dismiss those who aren’t enlightened as they obviously are.
It isn’t that they are going to go riot (although I’m sure theres a few black clad anarchists ready to go do that in Pioneer Sq) its more like they will just pout and ooze contempt at those of us who disagree. Where I work its 99%
O, so I don’t bother talking politics. I know that my neighbors out in the sticks are with me, so we aren’t afraiid that the latte drinkers in Prii will come up our
road and riot in our little clearing in the woods.
If a situation arises where McCain gets a close win like Bush did in 2000, we could see massive protests and riots organized by these idiots.
Bring. It. On.
Anything to STOP OBAMA’S SOCIALISM.
So if there is a legitimate win by McCain, they intend to revolt anyways?
They refuse to accept any result other than an Obama win?
Sounds like the coup begins on November 5th, the date they have chosen to attempt to overthrow the government. I wonder if the signal will be the firing of the cannon of a ship named Aurora.
Black men can be rednecks too!
I love ya, man!
'An Obama "win" will not be illegitimate because I disagree with his policies, but because he himself has rendered it illegitimate. He and his campaign and allied supporters have sought to illegally place hundreds of thousands of phony voters on the rolls, fraudulently registered people as Democrats without their knowledge and against their will, obstructed voter registration drives, intimidated students against voting for Republicans and supporting them where they attend school, encouraged community groups in committing voter registration fraud, falsely denied the widespread existence of voter fraud, and encouraged supporters to falsely believe McCain is a warmonger through speeches, recorded phone messages, and flyers. Already in early voting in a number of states there have been cases of votes cast for Obama from illegitimate voters. We will see Obama supporters on November 4th undermining people's right to vote, and seeking to have provisional ballots from suspect voters counted, to undermine the vote of legit voters. And we will see Obama supporters abuse skewed polls and maybe exit polls, to declare a victory even though not gained by legitimate votes.
