Election day postment, terror attacks, CIA...ummm just asking
the recent warnings Ridge is mumbling about occuring on or near the election -- ummmm -- his information came from the CIA or at least in part by the CIA -- right?

ummmm---is this the SAME CIA that has recently been blamed for bungling WMDs in Iraq? The SAME CIA that was part of the intelligence organization that dropped the ball on 9-11? The SAME CIA that has serious organizational and logistics problems regarding terrorist groups?

so, ummmm, errrr - soooo how reliable is the intel going to Ridge for his assessment of terralerts?

just asking....

2. The elections should proceed no matter what....
Edited on Sun Jul-11-04 05:59 PM by higher class
The citizens of the United States will be going to polling stations all over the country - there would have to be thousands and thousand of terrorists to cover them all. The center point for gathering the totals could be protected electronically and physically. The winners and losers do not have to assemble big crowds for their acceptance and conciliation speeches - they could hold small intimate gatherings in secret places. The largest gathering of citizens would only have to be in the newsrooms and we know that the right wing will call on their military and their intelligence agencies to guard their propaganda network partners. I don't see a problem.

As a last resort, everyone could vote absentee and the voters in the poorer areas could have someone gather up the ballots and drive to a post office in the richer part of town.

Seriously, think it through - just how would the terrorists impede the vote? The terrorists want the Bush family out.

Listen up - this is transparency in all its transparent farce.

But, please educate me if I'm not seeing the big or little picture.

3. Only in America
Would anyone actually believe that any foreign terrorist(s)/group(s)would actually give a rats ass about their elections.

Sorry, but this turkey ain't flyin'

It might have worked well with the Anthrax letters,
but it's getting harder to fool the little chimpy's now.

What say you, Mr. Daschle?
-Booga! Boo! Boo!
Boo!

--Fool me once,...can't get fooled again!

4. Yes, please, Mr Daschle, do not go along with the farce. Do not roll
over for them.

5. I will be in the booth if there is a mushroom cloud over St. Louis.
So there.
