What if the Dems had suppressed the Christian conservative vote in Ohio?
What if Democrats had made sure there were fewer machines to vote on in heavily Christian precincts thereby forcing Christians to wait in line for hours? What if one elderly Christian woman fainted and another lost her job due to the delay? What if it appeared thousands of Christians may not have voted specifically because of these delays? What if Christian votes were more likely to end up "spoiled"?

How would the media be covering the outrage? Would the election be perceived as fair? Would there be any pressure on President-elect Kerry to respond? Would the Ohio results be declared invalid? How would the Republican party respond and what would Republican voters do?

3. and what if the voting machines were made by democrats
and had no paper trails, and what if the secretary of state was a democrat and put democrats in charge of the voting places and then counted the votes? the press would go ballistic and that is a fact.

8. Dems would be labeled the great satans!
There would be burnings on the stake! Kind of like the napalm use in Iraq.

9. I asked Ney, Taft, Blackwell, Cates, and others a version of that...

In a letter I sent in part I said:

"The number of people that were disenfranchised during this election were not just a few, not just a hundred, but numbered in the thousands, and that is just in Ohio. This is not something that is to be "expected" in an election. This is *not* democracy, and it appalls me that you and the rest of the people who are declaring the vote in Ohio a success believe it to be true. I would be just as upset if the same circumstances occurred; yet the other candidate was deemed to be elected. Would you be upset then? Would that change circumstances, and your intensity on this matter, or is this truly about free, fair and equitable elections, which you profess to want?"

you think they're gonna answer me? (not holding my breath)

10. What if?
Why God would strike them all dead of course. The Christian God, of course, Jesus's Daddy, not any of those false ones.
