I realize AWOL & VP "Latrine Mouth" would be elated with canceling the election process.

But didn't AWOL (aka:shrub) emplore us to continue shopping and using our credit cards and going more in debt to keep the economy humming...becuase if we don't - they win.

1. Shopping good. Getting real news and discussing it, bad
An informed populace freely electing representative and responsible officials to carry out the public's business, terrible.
Didn't get the memo, did you?
we have always been at war with peace

And don't forget, umbrellas are no longer allowed.

2. Bush never said that...
...he said the terrorists win if we stop shopping. Nothing to do with democracy. Maybe "dollar democracy", it's "our money", they'd just like to make some "helpful suggestions" on how we should spend it. Cheney them all...

4. Fly and Buy
It is ok to put ourselves at risk to show those "terrists" a thing or two by going into debt, or flying around the country in the terrists' weapon of choice - but by all means don't take chances by going to the polls to vote. :mad:

5. You America Hater You!
Despite the fact that Al Qaeda is stronger than ever, has more members than ever and is planning a huge attack on the US is a sure sign of us winning the War on Terror purely due to George W. Bush's magnificent ability as Commander-in-Chief!

I think you just hate America & hate Freedom for questioning otherwise.
