Do you feel it? Can you smell it in the air? The sensation that the Republican Party, though various tentacles, will stop at absolutely nothing to maintain power in the White House? It's true. It's the feeling that, during the next few months, it's all about to get very shrill, and very surreal, indeed.

How about another "imminent" terrorist threat? Pretty much a given, really. Followed, of course, by another. And then another. And then another and another until every other day the newscast features a thick-necked, panicky Tom Ridge saying yes, oh my God yes, we now have definitive proof that terrorists are more or less sort of maybe planning to strike the U.S. maybe very soon and disrupt our shopping and screw with our TV reception and blot out the sun. We just don't know, you know, where, or when, or how, or what the hell to do about it. P.S.: Vote Republican.

-----------------------------------

And, finally, if all else fails, well, why not just postpone the whole damn election itself?

That's right, simply invent some (nonspecific, unsubstantiated) terrorist threat of sufficient hysteria so that BushCo simply has no choice but to delay the vote. The result? Give you gullible, timid voters more time to reconsider your choices and maybe vote based on your fear instead of, you know, your heart, or your soul, or your ethics, or your brain, or your general sense of universal humanitarian progress.

Well, if gets in again... and we can survive the next 4 years... at least we can take comfort that he cannot be elected again. Unless he changes that law too.

Gotta admit, those guys have done everything they could think of to keep the ball in their court.

If the moment comes that they can't use these tools they will think of something even more sneaky and underhanded.
Kinda like just stealing it all outright.

Wait a minute, that happened already in 2000

That makes me think of the 911 movie opening where he goes over the 2000 election and Florida.

So classic when they show his fat cousin/friend as the guy in charge at Fox broadcasting making sure the news people say that Bush won Florida.

I don't care how out of context that is either, its fucking hilarious and probably mostly true.

How bout we Republicans do what we gotta do to get Nader on the ballot so we can 'recreate' that 2000 situation. Then we will deny that we thought of that.

Desparation. The world's worst cologne.

Desperate measures by desperate people IMO. They are scared because they know they fucked up.

All I want to know is.... WHERE IS BIN LADEN and why did they give up the search?

All the attention has been drug away from that to fucking Iraq... and soon Iran. Fuck these people... you want them out... fine... just do it after you capture the man responsible for 9/11.

Sorry, I lost ALL respect for bush when he gave up the search and invaded Iraq before this man was captures... 100% effort should have been there... NOT Iraq.

I get on the White House web site everyday and write bush and cheney with one phrase... "Where is Bin Laden?". No answer of course.

Sure beats being brain dead or a stupid marxists.
Let's see, we have a guy stealing secret documents and the left wingers and their press buddies only concern is who leaked it.
We have left wingers ranting about putting panties on killers heads but say nothing about people chopping heads off.

1) iraq is sooooo last week, no one cares about it anymore and neither should you. Afhganistan is aslo very passeee.
Why should we care about them? We made special efforts to protect his family by flying them all the FUCK out the same day practically. The US had no need to investigate anything they did, hey are saints and so 'we' dont need to care.

2) bin laden, no one cares about bin laden cause we got saddam.
You remember they said he weapons of mass destruction?
Well we didnt find them, but they are there. We will find them soon, perhaps closer to the election time if we have time to fly them in.

3) You just lost all respect for Bush now?
I lost it when they stole what was obviously not theirs, THE WHOLE FUCKING PRESIDENCY!

John Titor was telling the truth!

I can't believe people are STILL bitching about this. How do you figure it was stolen? By every recount, Bush won. You can't count votes that weren't made.

If a few old people were too fucking stupid to punch the ballot for the candidate they actually intended to vote for, that's isn't the republicans' fault.

Nice recap of the 2000 election up to the supreme court overruling the florida court and stopping recounts. Includes links to excerpts of the courts etc.
