Are there any indications the Republicans will try and steal the election AGAIN?
The 2000 and 2004 elections were equal farces, and the Republicans staged nothing short of a coup in putting their man in power, despite having lost both elections.....

Is there any indication they will try and do it again, and seize the reigns of presidential power this year-whether they win the election or not?

7. And why haven't our "leaders" attempted to do anything about this?
Has Speaker Pelosi done anything to prevent the third stolen presidential election?

Has Majority Leader Reid?

Has Senator Clinton?

Has Senator Obama?

2. Well, there are the Bushie appointments to federal courts in a variety of
potential swing states to prevent any recounts and going so far as to jail a Democratic Governor and so forth. That would seem to be an affirmative.

6. If the Republicans steal the election- Will Democrats give up-again, or fight?
Edited on Fri Mar-07-08 10:57 AM by Angry Mollusk
Perhaps I'm being paranoid- but I am convinced the Republicans will have no problems with breaking many laws to make sure the next president is a Republican- Either Bush (staying in power due to an emergency), or McCain. The Jesus righties may hate mcCain, but they want a Republican in power, even if they hate that Republican.
McCain scares me because he wants to expand war into Iran, and the rapture right Jesus crowd was an expansion of war, so Jesus can return..

If this year is stolen like 2000 and 2004, will the Democrats stand up and fight for what's right, or will they once again fall to their knees and do whatever the Republicans say?

8. What do you think?
Have either of our major candidates committed himself/herself to seeing justice is done? One seems to think the whole problem of the past eight years has been a failure upon our part to "reach out."

Have any of our "leaders" since we regained majorities in Congress pushed for meaningful election reforms?

Over the years since 9/11, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights have been shredded and our most basic rights taken away by a criminal administration and a Congress which included complicit members of our own party.

The so-called "Patriot Act" was renewed. Guess which Democratic candidates voted for it.

4. They won't need to steal it - Clinton is handing it to them
All this kissy face with McCain is undercutting the likely Democratic candidate. She knows it won't be her and she also knows she won't be able to run again in 2012 if Obama is elected. However odds are McCain is a one term president at best, so her beat chance to be elected is to have McCain win this year and then run against whoever in 2012.

She doesn't care about the party - it's all about her (and that POS she's married to).

Look for them to "gingrich" the midterms.

11. An interesting theory, leftstreet.
The next president is going to be handed a total disaster. Whichever party is sitting in the White House will be blamed for what Bush has brought upon us.

restoration of the Constitution, the Bill of rights and Habeas Corpus have already been eliminated. As for punishment for their treason, war crimes and corruption, I doubt the Bush Crime Family has much to fear from Hillary (wife of Bill "let-the-Iran-contra-traitors-go" Clinton) or Barack ("why can't we all be friends?") Obama, and they know it.
