DON'T VOTE NOV. 2! The terrorists are INTENT on disrupting the election!
Edited on Thu Oct-21-04 04:56 PM by plastic_turkeys
Don't vote! Too dangerous! Get your duck tape ready and stay home!

WASHINGTON - Election officials are beefing up security and taking other precautions at many of the nation's 200,000 polling places amid continuing concern that al-Qaida terrorists are intent on disrupting the U.S. political process.

Some officials are increasing police patrols and assigning plainclothes officers to monitor voting sites on Election Day. Others are taking steps to secure ballot boxes, set up emergency communications systems and locate backup polling places in the event of an attack.

"We have to prepare for the worst situation," said Brenda Fisher, elections director for Anne Arundel County in Maryland......

Michael Chitwood, police chief in Portland, Maine, said he recently gave a security briefing to local election wardens noting that the ringleader of the Sept. 11, 2001 hijack attacks, Mohamed Atta, started his deadly journey that morning at Portland's airport.

"The audience was attentive. In some ways they were scared to death. But we had to make sure they knew the possibilities," Chitwood said. "It's voting in the post-9/11 world. There's a new sense of vulnerability in our country whether it's Manhattan or Portland, Maine."

2. Too late!
I already voted!

And even if I hadn't, I'd rather get blown up excercising my right to vote than live with my cowardice by staying home and allowing Bush another 4 years.

I'll be voting this Saturday, after John Kerry visits Pueblo. And my wife is voting by absentee ballot.

17. They're the ones
who are buying into the terra terra terra BS that BushCo keeps putting out. How ironic it would be if Kerry won because too many Bush supporters stayed home putting up duct tape because they really believed the crap Bush has been putting out.

One would think that NYC would be firmly in the Bush column since the terrorists affected the people there the most. Instead, it's a big Kerry town.

13. "However, Diebold will be hosting voting at EPCOT, so please don't cancel
your Disney vacations."

Remember that moment in the annals of "America copes with 9/11"?
