5. I bet Carl's not a voter.
Frylock, on the other hand, strikes me as a Kerry supporter. ;)

18. Carl strikes me as a strict libertarian.
He owns guns, and patronizes hookers (and pays with penny's).

Frylock is definitely a Dem. though.

4. Dearest Wolfie (real honest feedback to CNN)
About your poll about postponing the election in the event of a terror attack. My response is that election day cannot come soon enough.

9. On Air America today someone said Constitution would have to be amended
Edited on Mon Jul-12-04 04:22 PM by seventhson
to change the date of the election: That it is mandated every four years on the first tuesday in November and NOBODY can change that. Not Bush. Not Osama, Not Nader. Not ALF. Not NOBODY!!!!

We need to keep repeating this because even I was thinking a contingency plan was not so bad (MY BAD. VERY BAD - but my thinking was that the rethugs might try to jam the election day up - who knows who might? - but it is a VERY dangerous maneuver to chasnge things like this)

Bottom line - It is in the Constitution and CANNOT be changed - espcially not be a bunch of two bit peniseless thugs like Bush and Cheney - without 2/3 of the states and the Congress changing it.

16. Let's indeed make your point heard loud and clear in this country.
Edited on Mon Jul-12-04 04:43 PM by Zinfandel
That a fascist regime who literally stole the presidency in 2000 and will attempt to do the same this year, feel they are above the law and the Constitution.

These same fascist will have no problem encouraging an attack to invoke Marshall Law and "postpone" cancel the elections if they don't think they can steal it again.

Fascist are ruthless, greedy, power hungry, corporate elitist, who will NOT accept defeat simply by the "peasant" voters of this country...They have a world agenda...

And if it means locking all of us who dissent away, so be it.

Let's have the elections this week to avoid the potential attack.

14. 18% of the respondents who voted yes are UnAmerican
wonder if they'd feel that way if a Democrat was in office.

I'd say it would be political suicide to even suggest doing this.
Unfortunately for the administration (and good for us) they have. :)
