Novemer 3 -- Truce |
Ok folks, there's lots of emotion flying around about this election. Once
the votes are counted, everyone needs to settle down and support (however
grudgingly that support may be) whoever is elected.
America doesn't need to be stuck with a bunch of pissing contests between
partisans. So, I'm proposing that once the vote is counted and done,
everyone -- on all sides -- put aside all the BS and lying and false
accusations and misrepresentations, and shake hands and go out for coffee
and donuts.
Ya, we all have to continue regardless of who wins what election. We may
as well do it as a united country instead of a bunch of unhappy campers.
There's still things to fix as far as the voting machines and etc, but we
may as well work on that stuff together, with a rose behind our ears instead
of baseball bats against each other's skulls.
How about it?

Accept temporarily, yes.
Tolerate temporarily, yes.
Support, even temporarily, NO.
So, I'm proposing that once the vote is counted and done ...
What makes you think that will be anywhere near November 3?
... everyone -- on all sides -- put aside all the BS and lying and false
accusations and misrepresentations ...
That should have been done a year ago.
Actually, if it had been done from 9/11 onwards, we wouldn't be where we are
now.
Ya, we all have to continue regardless of who wins what election.
We're unlikely to ever know who won.
We may
as well do it as a united country instead of a bunch of unhappy campers.
So, when Hitler won, you think everyone should have united behind Hitler?
(And, yes, I think that's a fair comparison.)
There's still things to fix as far as the voting machines and etc ...
If that's the extent of your list, you're nuts.
... but we
may as well work on that stuff together, with a rose behind our ears instead
of baseball bats against each other's skulls.
Why? Explain why?
How about it?
Nope.
My opinions won't change. I'll continue to express them and continue to try to
make them come to fruition.

If it had been done in 2000 there might not have been a 9/11.

America doesn't need to be stuck with a bunch of pissing contests between
partisans.
America doesn't need to be stuck with a bunch of "Yes" men, either. That would
be the death of democracy.
So, I'm proposing that once the vote is counted and done,

Sure. Care to point out the lying and false accusations and misrepresentations?
Otherwise, whatever's left is called "reality" and, no matter how unpleasant,
you'd just gotta' deal with it.
Ya, we all have to continue regardless of who wins what election. We may
as well do it as a united country instead of a bunch of unhappy campers.
Why? America's political system has _never_ been about conformity, falling in
line or supressing the individual conscience. That people like you are seeking
to make it so should be far more frightening than any partisan rhetoric you may
eschew.
There's still things to fix as far as the voting machines and etc, but we
may as well work on that stuff together, with a rose behind our ears instead

You can't work on them when one side holds all the cards and refuses to even
consider relenting on even one single solitary point. Sorry, but the arrogant
tards in power need a few baseball bats against their skulls right now, it's the
only way they're ever going to realize that it's not 100% _their_ country.

Agreed.
But once the polls close, what happens afterward is in the hands of the
counters, the lawyers, and the courts. For all practical matters, hurling
invectives at one another here (and elsewhere) likely won't do anything
other than raise blood pressure. And, IMHO, we have enough to wrangle over
with religious/atheist issues without adding hostility over the presidential
election.
What would be cool, though, would be big, orderly, demonstrations by
millions of people publicly protesting the lousy voting system in the US.
Myself, I want paper ballots back. That touch pad thing ain't gonna cut it
.. . . too easy to screw with the numbers, no way to do a recount. (Gee, I
wonder if anyone did a Halloween costume as a voting machine?)
Ya, better to light some fires under the butts of people in charge of the
election process and get it fixed, than to get into partisan bickering . . .
I'm sure the lawyers & etc at the front lines of both camps will do
everything possible to gain whatever advantage they are legally entitled to.
Not much any of us peons can do . . . If there is, let me know . . .

Some officials are easier to light fire under than others:
http://www.wired.com/news/evote/0,2645,63298,00.html
California Secretary of State Kevin Shelley ended five months of
speculation and announced Friday that he was decertifying all electronic
touch-screen voting machines in the state due to security concerns and
lack of voter confidence.
"We will not tolerate deceitful tactics as engaged in by Diebold and we
must send a clear and compelling message to the rest of the industry:
Don't try to pull a fast one on the voters of California because there
will be consequences if you do," he said.
Shelley said the ban on touch-screen machines would stay in effect unless
and until specific security measures could be put in place to safeguard
the November vote.
"Revelations regarding touch-screen machines have shaken public
confidence in this voting technology," Shelley said, referring to four
computer-science reports released in the last year that showed the
machines to be badly designed and vulnerable to hacking. "It is my
foremost responsibility to take all steps necessary to make sure every
vote cast in California will be accurately counted."

True.
I recall how surprised I was at the intensity of the bile spewed by
conservatives when Clinton was first elected. We'll likely have more of
the same if Kerry wins. But, I don't know that responding to bile with
more bile is an effective way to deal with it. Honestly, I don't know
what would be most effective, but bile for bile doesn't seem the best way to
go.

The election results so far are disheartening. Although Kerry would
probably dismantle most of what the repugs have done, and that would
throw the country into turmoil. And he'd be fighting Congress for 4
years and getting nowhere. Neither outcome would be good.

Its how the GOP came to misrule America.
If Kerry wins, and I strongly suspect he will,
teh hate will wash over us from the right like
nothing you ahave ever seen before.
Yo wil see this intensify as the far right tries to destroy Kerry.
The extreme incompetence from everything from
lying us into a war in Iraq, to the accumulation of
vast debts is so incompetent tha the GOP must be stopped.
Having nothing competent to run on the GOP attacks people.
And has for 24 years now.
It won't stop.
It can't stop.
Either one fights this or rolls over
and lest pseudoc-conservative fascism complete the
destruction of America.

Kerry - two medals a silver and bronze star.
Bush? Well they don't give medals
for going AWOL, missing your medical and
getting grounded or falling off of a bar stool.
Kerry - a hero, Bush - a zero
Cheerful Charlie

Ok folks, there's lots of emotion flying around about this election. Once

America doesn't need to be stuck with a bunch of pissing contests between
partisans. So, I'm proposing that once the vote is counted and done,
everyone -- on all sides -- put aside all the BS and lying and false
accusations and misrepresentations, and shake hands and go out for coffee
and donuts.
Ya, we all have to continue regardless of who wins what election. We may
as well do it as a united country instead of a bunch of unhappy campers.
There's still things to fix as far as the voting machines and etc, but we
may as well work on that stuff together, with a rose behind our ears instead
of baseball bats against each other's skulls.
How about it?

Sure, no problem.
That is until whom ever the ***** is elected, starts stomping all over my
personal and civil rights again. Starts trying to shover their version
of morality down my throat. Or their followers do.
Then, all bets are off. And the venom will flow as before.

That's reasonable.
Venom over issues is one thing, but venom because you aren't happy with
whoever ends up the winner is another--at least, this election. Folks need
to badger politicians until they get a good voting process in place . . .
Evidently they didn't think our own election system was more important than
the one in Iraq. They need to discover that that ain't necessarily so . .
