If Team Bush Steals Another Election...

[MonstaThrilla]

Would you join a violent revolution to overthrow his regime?

I think it would be our patriotic duty to do so.

Disclaimer for the thought police: I am in no way planning such a coup, this is a hypothetical.

 

[Painman]

If ANY presidential candidate rigged an election, and it could be proven that they did so, then yes, the people ought to defend their perogative. Though I fear we've suffered too many years of bombardment with Weapons of Mass Distraction to be able to rise up and do so.

IMHO, we're screwed regardless of who wins this election. Bush and Kerry are just two sides of the same coin. They both come from extremely rich and powerful families and neither one gives a hoot about the plebian commoners.
Edit: there's no need for a disclaimer in your post, the 1st and 2nd amendments are in the Constitution for *precisely* this reason (so the people can overthrow a tyrannical government). You have every right to discuss the overthrow of the government, hypothetical or not.

What? Miss the chance to kick George Bush around for 4 more years? No way! I'm having too much fun bashing the fool.

A revolution is too serious and might interfere with my training to say nothing of all that jail time and the little matter of bullets....

[tec699]

Bush - Religious Right (christain wackos)
Kerry- Liberal Left (liberal pukes)

I'll take my chances with the liberals!! The ACLU isn't so bad.

 

[Piano Man]

Revolution? Sure.

Violent Revolution? Hell no.

Oh really? Then why did the Government track Kerry when he was an Anti-War Leader back around 1970?

Why does the Government have Agents assigned to track and Monitor every dissenting Group?

You're assuming he stole the election in 2000. He didn't.

You must understand, though, that the anger of the Deaniacs has yet to subside. In fact, after wasting millions of dollars on Mr. Electable and having nothing to show for it, they are even more disgruntled than before. This thread is understandable, E.

I was going to say the same thing... your topic says "another" election. Can you point to the first election he stole?

Technically you guys are right. The Supreme Court and Florida (along with his brother) "stole" it for him.

Are you daft? The harassment of election officials at balloting places by gangs of bussed in thugs, the premature termination of the recount process by Cheney's fishing buddies (otherwise known as the Supreme Court....), these tings mean nothing to you?
If it walks like a duck...

 

[TheGameIs21]

If you don't like the electoral process, contact your representative and let them know your displeasure and give them your better idea. The poplar vote could have been 99% against Bush but the Electoral 100% for and Bush is in.

Tell me how Bush (or his people) rigged the Electoral.

 

[EagleKeeper]

When did he steal the first election?

The florida election results were so convoluted, that the US Supreme court said the Florida must straighten out their mess.
Yes it was a Republican Secratary of State that issued the orders to deliver the results on time. If the Dem voters had been more careful in how they voted, then they would have no sour grapes.
After all it was the Dems who apporvided the Fla ballot system.

and all the florida secratary of state was doing was abiding by the law, something the florida supreme court should take notes on

I guess the independent recounting of the ballots by both USA Today and the Miami Hearld (I think thats the paper) that showed that no matter how the ballots were counted Bush would win mean nothing.

Oh well.

 

[chess9]

The last election was, in effect, decided by the United States Supreme Court, which is loaded with right wingers. So, yes, Bush stole the election thanks to Reagan and his father.

Nope.

The SCOTUS voted 7-2 to stop the recounts. Rather obvious that Gore was trying to do an end-run around the Constitution.

 

[TheGameIs21]

Never mind.... All I have to say is Learn how the Electoral College works and then try to argue the point of FL and the 2000 election.

Conjur:

That's pure revisionism. The Republicans pulled the end run. Give me a break....

But, let's not revisit the last election because that puppy has been beaten to death.

if it wasnt for gore shreading the equal protection clause of the constitution and florida law stating when the vote count must be completed by, you might have a point

Gore was the one trying to pull off an unconstitutional recount by hand-picking highly Democratic counties. That goes against the equal protection clause and the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 against Gore. Rather resounding admonition of Gore.

Don't let the door hit ya on the way out.
