If he is, it's a big mistake, our side is much better armed, even without counting the military.
No ID needed for OR either, if I recall.
We can't go through another Florida and even remotely escape unscathed. The stress on the nation is intolerable. If Kerry attempts to turn Florida 2000 into a 50 state-by-state fight, he's as much as calling for a new Civil War. Bush & Rove had damn well better work themselves to the bone winning a *SOLID* victory. Bush might "love" close elections but it does major emotional damage to passionate supporters. With the War On Terror on-going, it's even *MORE* important that an electorial mandate happen.
If they succeed in 2004 things could get VERY ugly..."
We did it with boots-on-the-ground in FLA in 2000, Ben. This time, I'm bringing ammo - lots of ammo!
The -RATS didn't expect us in 2000. This time, they'll bring their goons first, on 'school buses', and we'll dispose of them. One thing is certain - they'll walk home!
I'm joking, of course...........FRegards
Well, I guess that old John Effing Kerry is just going to have to be blown out of the water come election day in a way that would embarrass even Dukakis.
Democrats say they learned from the Florida vote, and from the Supreme Court rulings that arose from it, that the most important legal battles are those fought before Election Day…
Yeah – but has Kerry, or Hillary or Edwards, or Gore for that matter, come out for reform of the Electoral College? If they have, I have not heard them say so. So – if there is another squeaker (and I doubt that) and they begin to bitch about the awful result of a popular vote winner failing to be elected – they’ll have no legitimate right to complain.
My sense of a legal issue not raised it he decision in Bush v. Gore was that of the procedural due process rights of the campaign itself. Doesn’t Bush-Cheney 2000 (or 2004 for that matter) have a right to expect that the law, as it existed on 8:00 am of Election Day would be enforced, and not some ever-changing standard that evolves and mutates after the close of the polling stations?
I’m not asserting that the rights of the campaigns exceed those of the voters, although they may equal those of the voters. The campaigns after all are the aggregation of the work and contributions of very large numbers of Americans. If they are formed as corporations – even corporations have rights.
I’m contacting Bush-Cheney 2004 in GA to volunteer. This is too important not to act.
Say it loud and often, NYC Republican. Silence is a plea of no contest. Bush/Cheney need to come out swinging.
I don't like this. This elections could be another nightmare...
Looks like Mr. Kerry is expecting to lose and is preparing to pull an Al Gore.
Pathological liar. A rotten stinking lie. The big lie. Repeat it often enough and people will believe you. Straight out of Hitler's handbook. Can you imagine this fraud as president?
Y'all can laugh but I think John Kerry has a very quirky mind (all his photo op athletic stunts) with some chemical imbalances. He has no problem with lying and probably believes his lies. He has that BillyBoy Clinton habit of saying anything he wants any day of the week if he thinks he can get away with it. Even if it contradicts past pronouncements.
Misdirection is the most used tool of the illusionist.
I wonder if ammunition sales will go up like they did last time?
The dems are the cheats and always play the victim role. A good example, murder someone and then put up a reward to catch the perp. If that fails, call 1-800-OJ-B-Free.(an example of hypocrisy) Bush/Cheney 2004
"...my campaign will provide teams of election observers and lawyers to monitor elections, and we will enforce the law."
Trouble is brewing for Nov 2. I can see violent confrontations and riots happening, as a result of it. The liberal-demokkkRATs will pull out all the dirty tricks they can muster to beat W&Co, this time. Even if it means further dividing America along racial lines.
The 2000 General Election was just a tune-up for their power grab.
"Mindful of the election problems in Florida four years ago, aides to Senator John Kerry, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, say his campaign is putting together a far more intricate set of legal safeguards than any presidential candidate before him has, in an effort to monitor the election. "
What election problems in Florida? Bush had more votes and he won the state. Gores campaign tried to take away Bush votes and it didn't work. They tried to get seniors to vote for Gore but instead they voted for Buchanan. They tried to get any vote that could have been a Gore vote counted. They tried to take away the military vote.
When all that failed they took it to court and failed. If I was a Democrat, the only problem that I see from the 2000 election is that Gore lost his home state.
The media conveniently excludes this.
I can't believe the stupidity of Kerry's campaign. By making such a threat, he actually swings undecided voters into the Bush camp because many will feel that they don't want to go through all the legal wrangling that would result from a close vote. What a maroon!
Teams of Lawyers across the country! Oh, boy!! If everyone's serious about hating lawyers, Bush should get at least 80% of the vote. Unfortunately, lefties never mean what they say.
BUMP...until I calm down...
I hope that part of "taking the gloves off" (by the campaign) deals DECISIVELY with this issue once and for all. If they don't, the voters will have to do it.
Like Hugh Hewitt's book title says about the Dims: "If it's not close, they can't cheat".
No ID needed in Maryland either
