If we loose this election, here is why....
I hope to hell that I am wrong about this but if we loose this why.
I think the repubs have succeded in convincing the people that 1. They need Bush to keep this country from being attacked again. 2. They also have the majority of the people believing Saddam had something to do with 9/11. and 3. This is the most important one, is they have created the never ending war, following the advice of Newt Gingrich when he said after taking the House in 94, that "if we wrap ourselves in the flag, the democrats will never defeat us." I don`t think anyone here can deny that is exactly what they have done since 9/11 and I am afraid it is working. I would be more than happy to be wrong on this.

1. If Bush is elected, we're toast.
either via nuclear war or via the destruction of our Constitution.

4. If we lose..
I will have absolutely no pity for whatever may happen to this country in the following years. Jobs gone? Healthcare out the window? Reproductive rights trampled? The world hates us even more? The housing market crashes? Medical research stalls? Environment degredation furthers?

Tough titty. We've tried and tried to warn the American people, and yet they still hit the "retardo" button in the booth. When they vote retardo and get retardo results and whine about those results, I have no pity.

5. What I'd like to ask my Republican cousin.
When she votes for Bush, does she realize that her 15 year old son is going be drafted when he graduates from high school.

I am CONVINCED that we will have draft before Jan 20th if that mother fucker get 'elected'.

11. Do you really think it'll make that much difference if Kerry wins ...
... by 1 or 2%?? If so, then the fastest and easiest way fascism could take even deeper root is to let Kerry win. As long as more than 20% of this country could possibly vote for this Fascist Regime we're in a shitload of trouble. Remember, it's not as much about the Regime as it is about the amount of support they get from the hate-filled, ignorant, fascist fucks in this country.

13. Of course it matters. Kerry will have different policies.
It will be a close election, and hate and ignorance have always existed.
