If Bush wins this year, who's ready to fight?
Stay and fight. Not run, but stand up and do whatever it takes - fight dirty and fight hard.

1. My first option is to stay and fight...
...but it's nice to have options if things get truly shitty.

6. Depends
Depends on what the circumstances are (fair or foul) and what you mean by fight.

Certainly we should not let a bunch of puppy Repugs, who would not last 15 seconds in a street fight, stop a legitimate and crucial vote recount like they did in 2000. (Of course, by this I mean that we should appeal to their better judgment and sense of fair play.)

Beyond this, it is all "Gitmo" talk.

7. I'm not so sure we should wait that long.

And there continue to be, on a daily basis, justification for us to demand their immediate removal before they do more damage.

Now they want a space (PNAC weapons) program, and to do mountaintop mining, dumping the spoils into streams.

I'm ready to march today... You?

12. How do we do that
?

* won't be impeached. He won't be arrested. Assassination is NOT an option, as far as I am concerned, for any person, especially a President.

so what is the plan?

10. I think we owe it to the rest of the world and to ourselves to stay
and fight. It helps for them to see that there are those of us who don't go along with our government and our out in the streets. I have talked to activist leaders who travel internationally to meetings or events and this is what they are told by the activists they talk to in their travels.

13. Continue the fight in Congress
by getting your senators/congresspeople to stand up to the machine. And elect more progressives at all levels of government. Bush may win the election, but he can still be a royal loser. He thinks he can screw America...well not without a fight!

20. No. This is still America. We have a right to express outrage
and consider actions up to a point they become criminal intent. There is no criminal intent in that message, nor in my life. Believe me, I know criminal intent.

I am a veteran of the United States of America. I fought for her twice, and I bled for her once. I closed the eyes on some of her ignored sons in combat zones, and I have seen some eyes opened, too.

I have killed for my country. I killed to protect myself and others. I killed accidentally, and tragically too.

In short, this is MY country, I am not going anywhere, and I will do whatever it takes, and whatever is required of me to keep it that way.

Good day, sir.

21. Don't take me the wrong way.
I respect, appreciate and admire your sentiments. I just fear that such words could be used in the wrong way against you or our shared goals. Perhaps I worry needlessly.

I know that you are no terrorist or criminal, and are expressing no such opinions. Jefferson himself would recognize and admire your principles.

I also know that other people who have made harmless expressions of opinion have been tracked down and harassed.

It is with great reservations that I expess my own opinions, but I feel that with so many others doing so, how can I stand idly by while (I think that) I have anything to contribute.

Yours.

23. Sorry, I don't care anymore. And they can delete this post
too, for all I care.
I committed no crime, threatened no one and am simply living in what is left of a free society.

16. I'm staying.
This is where I'm from, and despite all of it's faults, I really like it here. It's up to people like us to take back America.

18. Assassination would be the biggest present to the Repukes ever
They would then go on to abolish democracy and win every election in sight. Not a very good idea, even though that tosser Bush could do well with a bullet in the head (strictly theoretically, of course).

I continue to be flabbergasted at the level of public discourse over at your end. Certainly the dominant voices of the public domain and the media have a lot of opinions that would be dismissed as hate-mongering nonsenticalities here in Europe. Towards a fascist state? The party with the senate majority who occupies your government has been fascist for a long, long time already.
