'Terror' on Election Day! by James Ridgeway

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Thursday's request by New York senator Hillary Clinton for an independent study of the nation's voting system before the November election comes amid growing fears that the Bush administration may try to fix the vote in a tight election. According to Clinton's press aides, Clinton and a group of other top congressional Dems asked the Government Accountability Office "for a thorough independent review," adding, "We already know of the potentially serious problems posed by the widespread use of electronic voting machines."

4. Of course it was ignored...don't you realize that there was 'real'
news to report...Martha Stewart...Laci Peterson...Kobe Bryant.

Come, come, my friend, you obviously don't have your priorities in the correct order.

5. A biological threat...
so they could "quarantine" us all into our houses....
Then expel any foreign journalists in the interest of national security...The borders would be closed, of course...
Then they would start handing out vaccine shots with which they could create a nationwide DNA database....
Somewhere in here, Smirky is declared the winner by Diebold...
Meanwhile we are under Martial Law.....
The possibilities are endless!

6. That's a good one
However, I think it will nukuler, as Bush likes to call it. I think the neocons understand the visceral fear that Americans have of nuclear bombs.

I feel so Cassandra-like. I really, really hope I'm wrong.

8. Ony need first item to win election, no Diebold needed
so they could "quarantine" us all into our houses....

They could do that on election day in a couple large urban areas and carry NY or CA. That is why they asked for permission to delay the election. America spoke and said, "No you can't delay the election (even though you can issue a quarantine and close bridges in safe Democratic states)"

7. OK, No. 1, Be an Optimist
So it doesn't matter that the Democratic Party and presidential candidate John Kerry have remained mum on the issue of canceling the elections.

No 2-The conventional wisdom among Liberals and "Progressives" is that "Bush stole the 2000 election."

This is not true. See F9/11.

Why are the Democrats not outraged at the recent terror alert
and election cancellation announcements, emanating out
of Homeland Security and the CIA?

Why are they not saying anything? Its a talking point on
network TV. Why is not an election issue?

It would obviously open up a can of worms. The Democrats
are complicit in "the war on terrorism" and the militarisation
of civilian institutions. (See:

http://globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO407C.html ).

The poor and downtrodden will win.
Just how many will die is the question.

9. democrats, including kerry, probably don't have to comment
because bush and the righties are going to make themselves look like fools without kerry having to say a word.
