to defend my self from your accusations. (which BTW are against the rules - and yes, I bothered reading them)

This is a current topic right now. As such it's on my mind and many other peoples. I, like others, want to comment on the current topic. When you had 20 posts was this a current topic?

I try to look at everything from an unbiased view point, think about it, and then form an opinion. I can see situations when a delay - *in my opinion* - would be reasonable. Even if the right seems to be in agreement - well, what can I say? Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Of course what I am considering are extreme extreme situations leading up to a reasonable delay. I'd imagine the right would go for a whole lot less.

When considering it further I suppose it may actually be better to bring elections SOONER rather than later. i.e. hold them in early/mid october. That would make most happy, and would allow a lot of room in case anything happened. Unfortunately I seriously doubt congress has that on the agenda. So I have to think about it from a delay perspective.

If you ask me it's the people who suggest having a civil war in such a situation who are way way in the "unthinkable" area. If you wanted to insure a bush monarchy that would be a quick way to get it. I wouldn't be surprised if that was actually the real goal.

Anyway - a reasonable delay in an extreme situation is understandable in my opinion. Apparently it is not in yours. That doesn't mean anything beyond that.

And for future reference regarding exactly where I stand politically in this election - I supported Kucinich, was a delegate for him at state level, and I agree with just about his entire platform. Regardless, I will support kerry/edwards, and I have full intention of voting a straight dem ticket this election.
