No acceptable result

It appears that to certain members of the Democratic Underground, a Bush victory in November will have been a stolen election no matter the margin. What's more, some are advocating armed insurrection if such a result comes about

Ok, lets say they steal it once again, but it's made to look farely with BBV. We all know Bush is unelectable, he was in 2000 and even more so now. He has lost a lot of his base and the Democrats base is more energized than ever. So if Bush wins, we know it wasnt fare, no matter what the media says otherwise. Do you all here believe that people are really going to just sit on their asses and let these people get away with it again? I certainly hope not. Malloy has said before he can picture a civil war started. Huge, I mean massive protests. Ill be there proudly if it happens. I've heard a lot of people say "I'll just stick it out another four years and work on 2008." or "Ill move to Canada." That's BS people and Im sick of it. I guess some of you fail to realize that if we let these devils get another four years. An election will be impossible to win for Dems in 2008. You think its hard now, just wait till the whole US has Diebold. Dont people get it, Bush wants a dictatorship. Im so frustrated. Im saying if Bush "wins", we need to step up by the masses and take our country back, and we need to start preparing for it now to be better safe than sorry.

There is something pathetically amusing about people who usually advocate for gun control to be suddenly talking about starting a revolution with weapons they would ordinarily see banned.

To be fair, some advocate moderation, in a moonbat sorta way

Don't forget that that is what the NeoCons want. Armed revolution and we are the terrorists. They declare Martial Law and suspend the Constitution for the duration. The cold War lasted 50 years. How long do you think the Rabid Radical Right's war on freedom will last? Until they bomb US back into the Stone Age. Don't forget these people are worse than bigots and fascists they are Religious Zealots. They believe they are saved and we are in the way of their heaven on earth. Don't think there is going to be another chance after Nov. 2. There will not. We have to get out the vote and make sure they do not steal the White House again. It doesn't stop at the White House we have to remove the cancer that has infected our Government from every branch of our government Executive legislative and judicial. Mortgage your home if you have to but get the truth out now. We have to get the voters to the poles and we have to make sure the votes are counted. Don't vote on any Die bold voting machine. Get all the crooked voting machines DE-certified. This is like no other time in history we must act now there is no second chance.

Others, have simply lost faith in their deity of choice

Good luck to us all living under Bush dictatorship. God help us all. I've lost faith. How am I susposed to believe that a "God" created a planet in seven days but cant save that same planet by stopping this dictator. I think he wants to leave it up to us. If we dont, then we've failed him and ourselves.

It's clear, that to some Democracy, and God's grace, are only operating normally when Republican's lose elections.

An American View from Iraq

Civilian Employee Remains Positive, Extends Tour Another Six Months

FORT BELVOIR, Va., July 2, 2004 -- The following article is written by Bonnie Murphy, a Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service employee who volunteered to go to Iraq in December 2003. Prior to her work at Balad Air Base, Logistics Support Area Anaconda, Murphy worked for DRMS out of its headquarters in Battle Creek, Mich. DRMS is a field activity of the Defense Logistics Agency, headquartered at Fort Belvoir, Va. She recently decided to extend her tour in Iraq and is scheduled to return to Battle Creek in January. At the time she wrote and submitted this commentary, she was home on leave in Florida. Murphy was awarded the DLA Employee of the Second Quarter for the work she has performed in Iraq.

I am a Department of Defense civilian and took leave to attend my daughter’s high school graduation. Being home has been wonderful and sad at the same time. I'm appalled at the "news" as it's reported from Iraq. And just as disturbing is the lack of knowledge a lot of people have about what's really going on, why we're there and what it's really like. I'd like to set the record straight.

Another "lie" that wasn't

How many times has the President's political opponents claimed that when he said that Iraq was trying to buy nuclear material from Niger, it was a lie.

True, they often forget to mention that Bush was citing British intelligence reports. And it is true that the British never backed off their claim instead calling their intelligence valid.

Joe Wilson supposed investigated the claim and stated there was nothing to it; it was made up. He also claimed that because he "blew the whistle" on the administration, they retaliated by "outing" his wife, the mysterious Ms. Plame.

Strange how the story that Iraq did in fact attempt to get Uranium from Niger is one of those buried stories:

As reported Monday in the Financial Times, however, senior European intelligence officials now say, "Illicit sales of uranium from Niger were being negotiated with five states including Iraq at least three years before the U.S.-led invasion" in 2003.

But there's more:

In a follow-up story, the Financial Times reports, "three European intelligence services were aware of possible illicit trade in uranium from Niger between 1999 and 2001. Human intelligence gathered in Italy and Africa more than three years before the Iraq war had shown Niger officials referring to possible illicit uranium deals with at least five countries, including Iraq." The other countries were North Korea, Iran, Libya and China.

Why is it that the first I heard of this story was on Fox News?

Beheading

Another civilian hostage has been beheaded by Ismlaic fascist operatives.

And, as happened soon after the beheading of civilian Paul M. Johnson, Fallujah was hit with an airstrike hoping again to behead the al Qaeda network operating in Iraq.

Now two dots connected do make a line.

But do they make a pattern?

Where's Dem WMDs

I noted here that scrapped WMDs had been found in Jordan, now Sissy finds evidence of more Saddam twikerwy with regards to WMDs.

But the question that needs to be asked, again and again it seems, why should we be surprised that Saddam lied?

And why would anyone give him the benefit of the doubt over Bush?

I know this is a tough question so I'll give you time to think about it.
