You'll hate me for saying this, but....

If GOP is going to steal the election and force us all into "Bush's Third Term", why should we even bother with the convention and the election and everything?

My most recent passport expired four years ago. It will be a chore of a bitch to renew it if I have to move to Canada.

1. Well, y'know, it gives us something to do.

4. if we make it a blowout they cant steal it. they can only flip

if it's Obama by 20% and they give it to McSame, there will be a crisis that has the Secretarys of state in "questionable/stolen" red states to be strung up as traitors.

5. Yeah, I guess you're right.

I hate you for saying that.

6. Well, Debbie Downer....in that case:

Let's all just give up now. :eyes:

7. You're right - I hate you...

BTW - good luck moving to Canada!

8. Boy, The Republicans Are Right

I never thought I'd say this, but I guess some Democrats really do have a defeatist attitude.

Why knuckle under without a fight? Even if they steal it, we will at least know we did everything we could to protect and defend liberty. We can hope that if we work hard enough, and inspire enough people that this time they won't get away with stealing it. This time there will be such an outcry that the phony results won't stand.

I do wonder why we bother with conventions, though. They used to be to pick the nominee, but now the people of the states get to vote on the nominee and the convention is little more than a coronation. It's really just one giant pep rally.

9. Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela, Cesar Chavez, Thurgood Marshall,

Harriet Tubman, Eleanor Roosevelt, Frederick Douglass, Mahatma Gandhi -- and these are just a drop in the bucket and the ones books were written about.

Do you need more reasons?

If they didn't give up, why the hell should I?

Look, I understand despondency, but I couldn't live with myself if I gave up, EVER!

10. I knew it. I knew it.

11. One other thing: Why is it that....?

When OTHER people in DU say the election will be stolen, they don't get shamed the way I do? :shrug:

12. It's actually extremely easy to renew a recently expired passport
