A "W" victory will legitimize
- Deadly and misguided wars based on fabrication of facts.
- Lying as a legitimate and approved strategy for any reason that furthers the parties perceived advantage.
- A media that is merely a propaganda tool and is beholden to those who want pay the highest price.
- A stronger push to mesh Church and State.
- A successful silencing of data concerning the environment and all science.
- Killing non-Americans for their resources.
- The acceptance of legitimate hatred of those who are different.
- The willingness to describe the intellectual as the enemy.
- Paranoia as a nationally accepted behavior.
- Medicine and Health care for the Rich.
- All schools teaching religion.
- Social consciences as an idea that leads toward moral decline.
- That the Earth is here for the greedy to lick clean of its bounty.

7. The Constitution,
Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence, were nice little parchment manifestos. Too bad.

4. If W wins by alot like a landslide then it's time to move to Canada
I know I posted a pretty spirited post about how they're not going to kick me out of this country, but that's if they steal the election or BARELY win it.

If Bush wins fair and square (yea I know I know, but believe it or not the simpletons in this country could make it happen) by a wide margin, then that tells me that the Puritan Simpleton idiots have truly taken this country over and it is no longer the nation of Jeffersonian Democracy but that of powerful greedy interests whose interests include fucking me over or putting me in jail because I refuse to conform to their evil ways.

5. It will signal to the world that the United States has jumped the shark.
It will mean the end of American Democracy. Of course, to conservatives it won't matter... because they think we were never a Democracy in the first place. (You can't miss what you didn't think you had.)

10. American Democracy
ended when lobbiest bought politicians. The citizens interests became the last item on the "lists to do" for elected officials. We need protection from industry and multi-nationals, not a front row seat to the live sex show.

8. not to mention mandatory "mental health screening" . . .
of the entire population . . . and mandatory drug therapies provided, not coincidentally, by Bush-supporting pharmaceutical companies . . . prospective "mental health problems" include liberalism, progressivism, feminism, anti-war activism, homosexuality, and a host of others . . . be afraid . . . be very afraid . . .

9. the shredding of the Constitution
and the implementation of a dictatorship.

It also probably means nuclear war, most likely with N. Korea, imho.
