101. YOU KNOW IM PRETTY SURE THEY DID THIS SAME THING AS FAR BACK
Edited on Mon Sep-15-08 04:34 PM by ann_american2004
AS I CAN REMEMBER. PRETTY SURE THEY SAID CARTER VS REAGAN WOULD BE CLOSE. AND PRETTY SURE THEY SAID GEORGE SR. VS CLINTON WOULD BE CLOSE. I MIGHT BE WRONG. THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO, BUT I REMEMBER BOTH OF THOSE ELECTIONS AS SORT OF A - WOW, WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SUCH A LANDSLIDE.

oops sorry for the caps. not yelling. one thing though is I agree that the reasons for the media doing this have changed slightly or rather they've added another purpose. One is to keep people tuned in. and the other is to start preparing us for another stolen election. I've gone through 2 in a row. I dont need a third to say enough is enough. Last time we protested and it got pretty good coverage from the media, of course they showed some of it (not all) for the conflict. This time might be different.

I dont know about you all but I have been thinking a lot about Rosa Parks. When she was arrested for sitting in the front of the bus, people protested and stood beside her. They also refused to ride the bus. I dont know about you but I think this year if they steal the election AGAIN I am going to be just so depressed and disheartened, you know I think I might stay at home for at least a week. Yup it will take me probably longer than that. And you know I dont think I'll be eating much. I wont be going out to eat. I have enough in my pantry to keep me set. And then after that is gone, maybe I'll just go on a hunger strike. Dont think I am going to go to any movies. Not going to keep my cable tv. I'll be too down. Certainly wont do any shopping at the mall or anywhere else. Wont need to fill my tank up with gas. Nope. Since I will be so upset and depressed about how someone didnt count my vote properly. I think I am going to be just sitting and thinking. Sitting down. I might sit down by a state capital. they have nice shade. But I am going to sit and think about how fucking nuts it is that my vote wasnt counted AGAIN. How my rights were violated AGAIN. Yup I am pretty sure that is what I am going to do for as long as I can do it. And I wonder how many other democrats and independents and libertarians feel the same way?

If they steal the election again:
Im going to sit
That's it.
I will raise my hands to heaven
I will protest
and sit.

Maybe the whole world will sit with me.
I wonder how the media will cover that?
Maybe we should tell them in advance.
