Why would any Dem consider running in 2008?

[OKthatsIT]

knowing the elections are rigged?

I keep hearing folks make this comment about these Senators and I dont see the logic in it. Why, after seeing the sad attempt at it this year...watching Kerry run off like a whipped dog.

None of this is making sense to me...am I missing something?

1. I've often thought our side should bow out and let them HAVE IT ALL....

....since they have the majority anyway and can now do as they will...why not just say..."...here ya go people..this is what you wanted...this is what you've GOT...so now you have NOBODY LEFT TO BLAME...ONLY THOSE ON THE RIGHT!" We're impotent now regardless... x(

2. and they will impose the FINAL SOLUTION for us liberals that much sooner

I am not joking. This is a murderous bunch.

4. I understand....

Mike Malloy said last night that AAR people are now considered 'terrorists. If thats true, then anyone here is as well.

see how brief this message is?

3. Learn From Sunnis

Perhaps we will need to learn a lesson from the Sunni political parties in Iraq - Believe it or Not!

The Sunni political parties are saying they will not participate in Bush's charade Iraq election on January 30. By withdrawing their 'consent' from the system, they are saying 'no' - just as Gandhi did in India.

If the system is rigged, if the system is broken ... there comes a time when people of principle and true patriots say "NO! Enough is enough! We will not legitimize your tyranny by being accomplices for the sake of preserving a rotten system!"

If the Democrats in the U.S. Senate cave tomorrow and let the radical Republicans and the Bush mafia steal a second presidential election in a row, then perhaps it is time to start looking for alternative ways to effect change in this country.

5. Well, Ive been saying this is my lastt year as a Dem

if these Senators dont STAND UP

[garybeck]

6. if they fix the election problems, any DEM will win

[OKthatsIT]

7. Yeah, Ive thought of that..my husband is one of the country's

top network security consultants(wink wink)

But the Reps have folks doing their criminal work at the precinct level and BOE of each county...they have idiots allowing technicians come in and change tabulators...its INSANE! There's no way Dems are going to OWN VOTING SYSTEMS COMPANIES and get away with it now.

Our only hope is promoting ONLINE VOTING before secure encryption takes hold.

ARGH!
