What if they steal it, and Kerry loses????
This probably expresses what many of us don't even want to think about:

WHAT IF KERRY LOSES?

TvNewsLIES.org CONSIDERS THE UNTHINKABLE

"The US election draws ever nearer, and the rest of the world bangs its head against the floorboards screaming "Please God, not Bush!" Charlie Brooker," UK

The next few nights will be sleepless ones, for sure. In a little more than a week, either John Kerry or George W. Bush will be elected President of the United States for the next for years. And I’m worried.

The 2000 election seems like yesterday. I can still feel the despair as the Supreme Court selected the new leader of our nation, and the world applauded Al Gore for his gracious acquiescence. Oh well, - next time around, we thought. We’ll survive the four years, and fight back harder next time. I Guess what? It’s next time now, and I’m really, really worried.

Who could have predicted the disaster we’ve just lived through? Who could have foreseen the totality of the catastrophic years of the Bush/PNAC/Religious Right administration? Phrases come to mind: war and pestilence, death and disorder, repression and fascism. Memories push their way into my head: Rice warning of a mushroom cloud, Powell lying through his teeth, Cheney promising a cake walk. And of course, in my head I see a dozen images of George Bush: orchestrated, staged, rehearsed, and programmed, yet stumbling and faltering through a haze of practiced sound bites. Yeah, I’m really, really worried.

Four years of absolute failure, and half the nation cheers wildly. Four years of failed wars, failed economics, failed everything, - and half the nation bows in adoration. You have to believe they just don’t know, and that’s about right. How could they know? The media played wild and loose with the truth. The press corps went underground. And Rove’s Rangers were everywhere, swearing to Dick Cheney’s unending lies. So half the nation is enamored of the man whose God makes policy decisions for him. And that worries me even more.

There has to be a Plan B, just in case John Kerry loses.

2. then the GOPers will wish their mamas aborted them. . .
instead of giving birth to them.

Regardless of how this election goes, I would NOT want to be a Repuke for several years. They will be regarded with contempt and resentment (and that's just for starters)

3. What if?
What do you mean what if? You ask it like there's an alternative.

This corporate/religious movement didn't start decades ago because they had nothing better to do, and want to play the nice little game of democracy. They did it to take over.

This administration is not giving up power willingly. Sure, you can talk about "votes", but we all know what they're doing across the country.

This election won't be final on Nov 2. It won't be final on Nov 3. We MIGHT find out who wins in the middle of December, but with this administration doing the business that they do, we all know we probably won't find out then either.

They're not screwing around.
