The coming chaos?

Okay, I admit it. If it has not been obvious up to now, I am a Democratic partisan. I absolutely cannot stand Bush/Cheney. Although I no longer watch much news on TV I confess than on those occasions where either Bush or Cheney are speaking I turn it off – immediately. I cannot bear to either see or hear them. Nor can I tolerate any more lies, and you can be certain that if they are speaking they are lying.

As the Republicans have no positive accomplishments to run on (unless you think tax breaks for the filthy rich are a positive accomplishment), they have nothing to use except negative ads and remarks about John Kerry. Thus they are reduced to having to figure out ways to steal the coming election – which they clearly are doing in virtually every state in the union; throwing out Democratic registrations, tricking students into registering as Republicans, intimidating black voters, changing voting places at the last minute, illegally denying felons the right to vote, etc., etc.

Unless one party wins truly big time there will be endless litigation. Republicans will not give up as the stakes for them are too high – possible jail time or worse. And the Democrats, finally, have made it clear that they will not just roll over this time and let the election be stolen again. I hesitate to say it, but this may trigger an actual revolution. A revolution of Democrats against would be fascists. Unthinkable up to now in the United States. But what other recourse might there be if Republicans insist on holding on to power even though defeated in the election?

I do not believe Republicans can possibly win if there is a legal election. The best scenario, and one I believe might actually happen, is if there is an overwhelmingly Democratic vote that cannot possibly be challenged. In spite of the nonsensical polls that claim a toss-up I believe the citizens of he United States are poised to eliminate these warmongering, war profiteering, neo-fascist thugs once and for all. If we have not learned our lessons by now, God help us all.

With the Dow at below 10,000, the unemployment rate very high, the national debt at an all time high, the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan disastrous, the economy perilous, the environment under attack by corporate interests, and millions in poverty and without health insurance, science being ignored in favor of religious fervor, how can Bush/Cheney possibly survive? They can’t, unless they pull off the most miraculous con job in the history of the world. We must see to it that this does not happen. Vote, and make sure your friends vote. This is absolutely the most important election in your lifetime. Freedom or economic and political slavery is the choice. This is not to be taken lightly.
