For everybody's talk of "Martial law, police state, oh my god this isn't really great!" |
|
How come everybody was thinking it would happen right before the 2004 election, yet it didn't?

1. IMHO Karl Rove tried to cut it too close, and actually screwed up.,... |

Karl had his polls and he thought it was in the bag.

2. As the number of laws increases well beyond what can or will be enforced .... |

... and "law enforcement" can choose where, when and against whom to enforce the law, we become a police state. We've been going in that direction for quite some time in the "slow boil" approach to cooking us frogs.

3. because hillary has not taken power yet |

It was all a plan by and for her. From 9/11 (to get back at the repugs and embarass bush) to all those things she voted for. She even made sure Kerry would lose so she could run in 2008. bush is a patsy - the real people running the government are the ones who stayed on from the clinton admin.
The beast is coming, the whore of babylon will ride into office on the back of the media beast and as she takes our freedoms we will cheer her as the greatest dem president ever, and anyone who speaks against her on DU will be called a misogynist and nader lover.
Oh, and she eats babies.
:rofl:

That's why they canceled the 2004 election. And the 2006 election. And next year: they're going to cancel the 2008 election and Bush is going to dictator for life! You'll see.
This conspiracy has been brought to you by the letter "W".
