What would you do if Bush declared marshal law in the US on election day?

Storm the Bastille?

Get a group of people to protect the ballot boxes and keep the polls open! Then do a very public count!

My understanding is that India, has nukes.

Something like this:

USA Russia England France Israel China India Pakistan

I can’t think of others offhand…but…

Possibly South Africa…they were certainly working on it.

And take a look at those that have or are considering nuclear reactors…most without any sort of protest from the Bush Administration.

Nuclear Nations

United States France Japan Russia United Kingdom South Korea Canada Germany India Ukraine Sweden People’s Republic of China Spain Belgium Taiwan Czech Republic Slovakia Switzerland Bulgaria Finland Hungary Brazil South Africa Romania Mexico Argentina Pakistan Lithuania Slovenia Netherlands Armenia

Proposed or In Process Reactors for Electricity Generation
Iran North Korea Turkey Indonesia Vietnam Egypt Israel Libya Poland

While Congress wets its pants over the likes of Blackwater mowing down “a few locals” in Baghdad, will it even notice when Blackwater guards do the same here? After the next Katrina, the next mega-wildfire in California, the next Mississippi or Ohio River floods, the next rush from the Mexican border? Or the next GOP convention?

They are already contracting for “domestic” duties. What are they? What rules or terms of engagement apply? What is the citizenry’s recourse when things go wrong? Because they will.

The white cops who kept the black Katrina refugees from N.O. from crossing over the river to Gretna (St. Bernard Parish) by firing guns “over their heads” (so my beloved MSM inform me) have all been exculpated; those brown-skins tend to be looters after all.

My “internets” have been down for a few days so I only know the above due to Amy Goodman’s “Democracy Now”. Was this covered here on fdl?

I’m worried about the Schumer thing because Mukasey has very close ties to Giuliani. Giuliani will use his police connections to suppress black vote in NYC to turn NY red. AG Mukasey won’t stop him. Don’t think Schumer will support Rudy, but will he flex his inside muscle in New York to block Rudy’s suppression game?

Clinton predicted that outgoing Bush-Cheney would still be able to sabotage the election. I think this is what she was talking about.

Bright side: I’m hoping Mayor Bloomberg dumped Republican Party because he knows Rudy will run dirty in NY and Bloomberg doesn’t want to back Rudy up.

The only lesson from history is that we never learn lessons from history.

They are already contracting for “domestic” duties. What are they? What rules or terms of engagement apply? What is the citizenry’s recourse when things go wrong? Because they will.

When I ask my pals ‘what do we need to do?’ They invariably retort, “vote them out”. And when I say what if voting doesn’t work? Silence usually ensues.

November 2006, the people spoke, and Pelosi, Emmanuel, Reed and now Schumer have failed. Period.

*poof*

When we found out that it was going to be twins – Erdla said “if they’re boys” they are going to be called Dario and Uffe. It’s a good woman who can make you cry for happiness and I married her :-)

Oh, Dub! Thanks again for brightening my day. With that, I will sign off. And, no doubt you should too, as I’m sure you will have to be on twin feeding duty very very soon. xoxo.
