I do not think we cannot blindly Blame Nader as the main source of the dirty tactics that the neocons would be pulling come election night. Remember Bush's pals at Diebold are ramming through this electronic voting. Diebold promised to help Bush win too. Also, how about denying people their vote like they did in St. Louis and Florida?

I honestly hope that people will finally rise up if any dirty dealings are found. They will have to take to the streets. Sadly, I fear it will be "business as usual" for a lot of people. We will have earned the title of "Idiot Nation".

1. I think all hell would break loose.
In the courts, in the House, and on the streets. Much more so than in 2000.

2. if people take to the streets, this administration will
shoot them like so many dogs.

with four more years to govern, they won't fear anything. and anyone who tries to stand in their way will be taken out.

3. If they start shooting and jailing people....
I would expect we will have a civil war on our hands.

6. Either that or....
you'll have hundreds if not thousands of people attempting to cross the borders of Canada and Mexico. Whether they make it through or get shot trying is another story.

7. But it will be hidden.
The media won't show what is really going on, so people will continue driving to Walmart and McDonalds and watching "Reality TV" and many Americans will simply "disappear."

Civil War is for tough people. Americans ain't tough. They're soft, squishy and easily molded.

8. What started
The last Civil War? The Rights of human begings were being trampled on. History always repeats itself, because we never learn.

4. I am sad to say
that I will be doing my best to leave the US. I have 4 children to think of and want them OUT before there is no escape. If this election is stolen as it was in 2000 the US will be dead and will not wait until the SS begins rounding up those who dissent before getting them to safety.

10. Honestly, I would seriously consider leaving too.
Edited on Wed Sep-01-04 08:01 AM by Cascadian
I don't think I would want to stay in a country where dogs won't even be fit to live in after all is said and done. Anybody and I mean anybody who is able to think for themselves and have their own opinions will be dead if they don't leave. If you have not been dumbed down, then you will be singled out.

Just my opinion.

9. Well my hubby doesn't want to go anywhere, but my dad
says he'll pack my mom, me, and my kids up and send us up over the Canadian border.

And he'll stay behind to fight.
