so, there is a thread here about talk at the rnc about "the bradley effect" and people talking openly about fixing the election. personally, i do not think that obama would accept it. he is both too smart and too brave to accept it. his law practice here was civil rights and voting rights cases. i think he would sooner eat ground glass that let them steal another one. but it has been nagging me, like it has so many others here on du, and irl. i get the jitters thinking about those days in nov. '04, logging on here every day, hoping for news, hoping for evidence. just plain hoping. and i also remember everyone's firm conviction that we would not sit still if it was stolen. the trouble was, we didn't know that we wouldn't know. that the evidence would trickle out, that some would pledge to fight, but do nothing. i'm just not gonna go there about john kerry. he was only one of them.
so, there was no one to sound the call. no one to anoint the plan. now, i think most of us know there will be attempts. pockets of crime. "glitches" and probably phony results will be accepted. so, what will we do this time? how will we know?
well, i know that du can seem like the world, and the idea that barack would lose seems like an idea from outer space here. and maybe it isn't that way outside of here. but, i gotta tell ya, i have been to iowa 3 times, and every time brought back 60% or more tallies for barack. i mean, really, even in dubuque. how will we know? easy. if barack obama is not declared the winner, you know they are lying. and if it gets that far, i have grave doubts that du will be here for us to make a plan. so we need one now. here is my suggestion- on november 5, if barack obama is not declared the winner, we must converge on washington, park ourselves in the streets, shut it down, and not be moved.
who is with me?
