WILL BUSH POSTPONE REPUB CONVENTION DUE TO TERRORIST THREAT?
Yeah, when pigs can cook. Wouldn't this be a better opportunity for terrorists than the actual election day, when people will be so spread out at the polls? Or do you mean to tell me they think the terrorists are going to suicide bomb EVERY FUCKING POLLING PLACE???

I say we pressure Bushie to cancel the Repub convention. We wouldn't want to put all those icky republicos at risk of an attack, would we, Bushypants???

1. Make him move it.
It's unfair to place New York City at the heart of another potential terrorist threat. Because, of course, these are real terrorist threats. Absolutely real and genuine. From actual terrorists.

4. Yes, afterall, NY city has already been struck twice - what was he
thinking? I think they should move it offshore, to a couple of large oil tankers.

6. Pretty much every media outlet has reported
That Bush cannot cancel the date of the election or postpone it, and that the consitutution has pretty mcuh set up conditions so no president cnn do this without the approvel of a suprtmajority of the congress,(whetther through the fact that the constitution requires it or that Democrats who would see Kerry ahead at a certain date would filibuster it to prevent Republicans from waiting until conditions were better for a Bush win)> The founder fathers saw this one coming and made it virtually imposssible to do so, even in national disaters conditions to prevent any president from making himself permanent president.

8. Don't know when he'd postpone the GOP convention until...
It's already the latest one in history. Won't happen.

10. Actually, If he was devious enough he would..
Bush could push it back a couple weeks and only give out the date a few days before.He could have less time to spread out the 75 mill,and keep his convention bounce till closer to election.
I wonder if they could be that devious?:bounce:
