Election - examine this quote from Card - last 72 hours before -

[peacetalksforall]

"When I spoke to Andy Card, who for five years was Chief of Staff to President Bush, he calculated that the election would ultimately come down to which side could mobilise more of its supporters in the last 72 hours."

It is in the article appearing in the London Observer - by Rawnsley.

When the evidence starts choking a thief, don't they lay low for awhile - in our case skip an election cycle?

This quote from Card has been taken by me as danger signal. Are they going to go along with or even spread propaganda about the precarious situation they're in right up to 72 hours before and then throw it at the country - that they are going to win - even naming which races and by how much - to sway the voters, inject life back into some failing fights, then steal the votes in those same races or close ones?

Of all the eperts telling us how bad it looks for Republicans, we would do ourselves a favor by only reading loyalists who usually tell us like it is without lies and propaganda.

There are many things that can go wrong:

Martial law.
Postponement due to some phony emergency. Real emergencies? Maybe.
Theft, with the help of the networks and their jointly owned polling companies - AGAIN!

Just because Card is out of the WH doesn't mean he isn't still an operative. Just ask yourself where he was on those November days and evenings of 2000, 2002, 2004. Working next to Rove and Rovians? Then, in the comfortable room with Barbara, George, Sr, Jeb, George the joker, Laura, Bill Bennett when the networks came in to show them preening. Well, he may not be in that comfortable room with the dynasty this time, but he could be right back in the operating room with and getting ready for a 72 hour fourth theft.

Is 72 hours a clue to what's in store? These thefts are planned in advance. We got plenty of warnings in the previous elections. Networks kept telling us that Florida was going to be the swing state, then it was Ohio, in the last. And, they told us all this crap about polling not being reliable - and - they (pretended to) dismantle their joint polling company whose results worked so well in many preiovus elections and that has worked so well overseas.

1. I believe that we should

stop conceding races based on the uncertain results of the last elections. That has been one of our primary mistakes. Challenge results when they are opposite the pre-election data, and be willing to dig in, and oppose the republicans all the way. We also need to treat this like an election that is up for grabs, and not become too complacent. We need to get everybody who wants to remain a democratic society out to vote. Lots of our own people at the polling places is important, too.

The other side has stolen previous elections by simply ignoring results they didn't like, and going ahead as if they were the winners. Nobody has tried very hard to stop them. I think that both Gore and Kerry should have fought them tooth and nail, but I speak as an ordinary citizen, and realize that they had information I didn't. But for me, my impulse would be to fight, and then fight some more.

2. good point.

It should be national policy. Dems refuse to concede any races.

3. If media tells us the polls are tightening up just before election

Then yo can bet they will try to steal it. But there is no way people are not already set in there positions considering what all has happened.
I know from talking to people that there is great concern for the direction this country has taken, and they are not suddenly going to forget it just before election unless they put something in the watter.

4. It's not gonna be pretty.

It's one of those "rats in a corner thingy".

5. Kick to alert people about this statement from Card. Is he still

a player? Are they planning something devestating to the election - such as preventing it? Or are they planning to proceed with the election, but setting up dirty tricks for the last hours? If tricks, doesn't the media have to be in on it? Doesn't their record deserve caution? Suspicion?
