What if McCain/Palin actually win???

[Cyrano]

Assuming that Palin is still on the McCain ticket by the end of this week, what if these two actually win (or the election is, once again, stolen)?

My only reaction to this is the title of an old Broadway show -- "Stop The World, I Want To Get Off." Even American voters couldn't be this stupid, could they?

What would sane Americans do if these people end up in control of the most powerful arsenal in the history of the world? Move to another country? What country on this small planet would be safe from a man whose judgment is virtually non-existent and this really scary woman?

As much as I believe that Obama/Biden are going to win the biggest landslide in American history, there's this nagging fear in my mind that the GOP could actually win/steal it again.

Please, someone out there convince me that this insane scenario couldn't possibly happen.

1. Sorry, I can't give you that comfort. :^( The best we can hope for in that case is

Obama and the Dems fighting it tooth and nail this time.

[rurallib]

2. There will be a line of one way U-Hauls from NOLA to Toronto

[NotThisTime]

12. I'm glad I'm an hour from Montreal (if that), I'm outta here...

[Danger Mouse]

3. EIther flee the country or die in the bloodbath to follow as The United Christian States of America

is established and all nonbelievers are put to death.

[cali]

4. it's unlikely. palin is sinking his ass, and whether she stays on the ticket

or goes, McCain is in deep shit. I understand your nagging fear, but I just don't see it happening.

[ITsec]

5. It could happen

These fundy creeps want Armageddon to happen so bad, they'll do anything to make it so. Nothing will stand in their way.

I suppose the only thing we can do, is make sure the vote spread is wide enough it CAN'T be stolen again.

[Occam Bandage]

6. Eh. It would suck. The economy would get worse. But we'd survive.

[Faygo Kid]

7. I would retire as soon as I am able to smaller community, and work to better it. No more national.

"All politics is local." I would probably, at this age, give up on national politics. For sure, I would try to get the hell out of where I live now (DC area). Unsafe immediately with McCain-Palin having their fingers on the nuclear trigger.

Realistically, I have another five years before I could make the move. By then, I am afraid it would be too late.

[phantom power]

8. It would be a big blunder to assume it couldn't happen...

But you know, Obama is running a good campaign. He's running a better campaign than Gore or Kerry, and I think he understands better than they did how the GOP plays, and what to do about it. so it's not all bad.

[haunted]

9. McCain / Palin

Apparently a lot of voters are that "stupid" look at the following Barack has.

What has he done where is his experience at?

Great motivational speaker but what is going to do for my family?

Can I count on him to protect me or will he talk them to death?

Come on people convince this fence rider to vote for your guy.

[FrenchieCat]

14. ((((FREEPER ALERT!)))))

[MadrasT]

24. WHOOP! WHOOP! WHOOP!

[AllieB]

18. If you can't see the difference between McCain and Obama

then I can't help you. Are you rich? The only reason to vote for McCain is if you're a billionaire. Do you have any sons or daughters of draft age? Then you can expect them to be deployed to our new war with Iran. I could go on and on, but I have a feeling it may not be worth it.

More like a f***ing idiot who votes against his best interests.

[redwitch]

53. Why are you voting for McCain?

And what is it that haunts you?


And what would it take to convince you?


There are just so many questions!

[southern_dem]

78. Thanks

for stopping by...

[Cyrano]

26. Dear McCain/Palin:

Why don't you just go away before you get thrown off DU?

But assuming you still have a functioning brain, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU AND EVERYONE WHO THINKS LIKE YOU??????

[haunted]

36. Uh...

We arent sheeple?

[AllieB]

40. Nevermind.

27. Turn on your profile so we can see your tombstone!

Wheee!

[YOY]

28. You can't be f***ing serious.

Obama actually talks about his ideas for health and enery. Stopping the failed clusterf*ck of spending that is Iraq. You can find it all on his site.

How's that? Three sentences.

[AspenRose]

You are beyond help.

You are a terrible person.

54. How about judgement?

The running mate is the first official choice a presidential nominee makes. Obama chooses someone he knows well - a friend and colleague who is ultra-competent to take over the executive branch if required. McCain chose someone whom he met only once, who was two years ago the mayor of a small Alaskan village, who only two weeks ago wasn't sure what the vice-president's job was.

But why am I bothering to respond? You'll be banned by the time I hit the "Post Message" button.

Besides start a nuclear war with Russia, that is.

77. Bush: We haven't been attacked since 9/11. Us: IT HAPPENED ON YOUR WATCH

10. Getting ready to get a passport right now, actually...

If they steal another one I will secede. Belize

Either that or violent revolution. Jefferson said we should.

[marshall]

11. Dark clouds with a few silver linings

At least if he appoints Lieberman to some cabinet position we can likely pick up that Senate seat, and may even have a chance for the Arizona seat. Any other sitting members of Congress he appoints leave opportunities for an added seat for us.

[apocalypsehow]

13. They're not going to win, but if they do life will go on. Promise. n/t.

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

15. Guess I will be moving to Alaska to join the AIP

and I will work hard to help them reach their stated goals.

:evilgrin:

[Bluzmann57]

16. Well, I've been making plans to retire

to the Philippines. I would likely do it much sooner than expected if that unfathomable scenario should happen. But I have faith in the majority of Americans and believe that Obama wins and wins easily. People are getting the message and mobilizing now.

[bain_sidhe]

17. How long before the fundie wackos start trying to get McCain to resign?

Just askin'. Or maybe finding "new" evidence of his unfitness to serve (dementia, PTSD, somtin like that...)

[spanone]

19. suicide?

[billyoc]

20. Army of One.

Namely, you. :hi:

[haunted]

37. Oh

You think I am the only one that feels like this you better think again

[billyoc]

48. Where the hell did YOU come from?

Go back.

[SoonerPride]

21. I leave this country.

Period.

Either:

1. America is too fucking stupid and gets what they deserve.

or

2. This election is another stolen one and we don't live ina real democracy.

Either way, I'm out.

End of story.

Goodbye.

[ITsec]

29. Except that...

if the shit goes down, we may not be able to leave.

[Erin Elizabeth]

22. In 2004, I could contemplate the idea that Chucklenuts would

possibly win. It wasn't a happy thought at ALL, but I could at least imagine it.

In this case, I can't even make my mind go there. I can't do it. The very notion of it makes me feel so incredibly despondent and hopeless, that's where my brain just shuts down. I fear I truly will give up, completely. Stop caring. Never pay attention again. Fuck it.

But I have hope that that won't happen.

[AspenRose]

23. Then we will be in a world of hurt.

:-(

25. Welcome to the Republic of Gilead nt

[AlinPA]

31. Yes, 'muricans are that stupid. They will campaign on Flags, God, Guns, and Hatred of Gays.

'muricans will love it. We need to beat it with more registrations and GOTV.

[quantass]

38. MSM is already starting to fall in love with Palin and sweeping aside her growing problems!!

Be warned people..this thing just started to take a new course.

[Vinca]

39. They still own the voting machines so I'm going to be terrified

until McBush concedes. If they steal it again, the country is lost for good.

[Bucky]

42. If something were to happen to McCain before Alaska finished seceding from the US...

My guess is that the lower 48 and Hawaii would have to secede instead

[Critters2]

44. The Republican Party would be utterly destroyed by the next general election.

The conflict between the neo-cons and the crazy Christians would explode. A wondrous sight to behold.

[dailykoff]

49. President Palin, America's mum.

It could happen, easily. :shrug:

[Life Long Dem]

50. It would defy logic.

[dailykoff]

51. So did 911.

But it changed everything anyway.

[Life Long Dem]

58. True, but I can't see someone breaking all historical records

only to lose that race. You just don't break all records then lose because the other candidate is better.

[dailykoff]

59. Fires don't cause highrises to suddenly disintegrate, either

but it happened.

[Life Long Dem]

65. And world record holding Olympic competitors don't win the swimming event if the pool has no water

WTF!

[RTFirefly]

56. If he wins, I will be praying for McCain's health every night.

Because four more years and another needless war is still better than the idea of Madame President Mooseburgers.

[Monk06]

61. It will mean America is permanently fucked and forty million Canadians will be on suicide watch.

[thestrugglecontinues]

64. When did Canada get 40 million people?

I must have missed it.

[Monk06]

71. I seem to remember it was 38 M last year. It's actually 33,349,761 (August) [1

[vaberella]

62. No thought needed or debate. I will leave the country. n/t

[anigbrowl]

63. Buy a gun and wait for the zombies to attack

People have gone collectively insane before.

[New Dawn]

66. The Obama campaign and the Democratic Party can make zero excuses if they lose this election

McCain is running a campaign that states that he wants to continue the agenda of the most hated US president of all time. If the Obama campaign can not find a way to beat that, well they do not deserve to win. It is that simple. Regarding rigged elections, the Democratic Party controls Congress and more state governments than they did in 2004 so there is no excuse regarding that either.

The concern I have is that they will not do enough to point out that McCain = Bush. And they might not do enough to distinguish themselves from McCain as they seek "centrist voters" (i.e. lobbyists' money).

[RememberWellstone]

67. I am movin to Switzerland!

God forbid....I will leave for about 6 months to regain my sanity.

[chiefofclarinet]

69. Heading to the United Kingdom!

Some of the Brits here may disagree, but I imagine that Britain will be better under a McCain presidency than the US will be. I've got more college to finish, so I might as well do it there than here, if everything goes under. Sure hope not; I don't have the money to afford any of the universities over there.

[oviedodem]

70. If that happens the democrats may as well just stop trying, really. Second,

Open a business the tax breaks will be enormous and you will need the money for the $10 Gas and all the kids you will have because there will be no contraception.

[TheKentuckian]

75. Democrat enlistment in the NRA will go up a trillion percent

I'm too pro-America to leave, so I guess it's a walk on part in the war over the lead role in a cage.

It's time to strap up. A well armed populace is the greatest deterrent to tyranny.
If the Afghans can hold off Soviets for years and a mob in Iraq can kill over 4,000 of the best trained and equipped in the world then we can go toe to toe. Not to mention our troops will in large part join us.

Let's elect Barack Obama President to stem this evil tide.

[MichDem10]

72. WE ARE FUCKED.

[Mme. Defarge]

73. I'll need to go on medication - n/t

[Yavin4]

74. Here's What A McCain/Palin Admin Would Mean

1. Continued presence in Iraq.
2. War in Iran.
3. Soaring budget deficits
4. An economic depression
5. Runaway inflation
6. Depressed stock market
7. The flight of our best and brightest to other nations because any real opportunities here in America would be non-existent.
8. More outsourcing

[paparush]

76. Our Children Get Drafted. nt

[wisteria]

79. The Repubs are only going through the motions. President Obama is a done deal.

Palin has put the final nail in the McCain coffin.
