Don't you all get it?
If nothing changes (why should it, we knew of the specter of BBV years ago), the Repubs are only going to expand their margin of control of congress. No matter what the people think, the next election, I'm predicting, will see a filibuster proof 60-40 shift in the make up of the senate.

After all they screwed us over once, what's to stop them from using a system that works?

1. destroying the voting machines might stop them

unless they get powerful enough to stop elections from happening at all.

2. Do you really see that happening?
We've had over a year to get ready for BBV trickery and we still let them come right in and walk all over us.

Nah, I think that unless something big happens soon, America is screwed.

3. I really like the idea in another thread
about boycotting Repub businesses. If the drycleaners you use voted repub....find one that voted dem.....if your grocery store is a repub contributer, find one that isn't.....let them know why you won't be doing business with them.

This hits them in a place more precious to them than any moral issue. The small repub businesses will be the ones that suffer from this the most.
