I seem to recall that the GOP coup d'etat of the American Republic actually occurred back in 2000. Reinforced in 2004. 2008 -- more of the same. If the poll margins are so extreme come November that they can't steal it believably, something will occur that will cause the election to be "postponed". If that happens, see you in DC. You bring the torch, I've got a pitchfork.

Yes, if we lose a legal election, let's burn the place to the ground. Intimidate others into letting us have our way, despite democratic principles which suggest otherwise.

There's a new book out called "Slouching Toward Socialism". Perhaps you've read it?-

Well bigurn, we have known for sure for several years now that the US Supreme Court not only violated that Constitution in 2000, but also awarded the presidency to a fraud. Remember the repubs assualting the polling stations then?

From Research in Review Magazine, Florida State University, Fall/Winter 2005:
Al Gore really did beat George W. Bush in 2000.
... It’s an embarrassing outcome for George Bush because it showed that Gore had gotten more votes. Everybody had thought that the chads were where all the bad ballots were, but it turned out that the ones that were the most decisive were write-in ballots where people would check Gore and write Gore in, and the machine kicked those out. There were 175,000 votes overall that were so-called “spoiled ballots.” About two-thirds of the spoiled ballots were over-votes; many or most of them would have been write-in over-votes, where people had punched and written in a candidate’s name. And nobody looked at this, not even the Florida Supreme Court in the last decision it made requiring a statewide recount. Nobody had thought about it except Judge Terry Lewis, who was overseeing the statewide recount when it was halted by the U.S. Supreme Court. The write-in over-votes have really not gotten much attention. Those votes are not ambiguous. When you see Gore picked and then Gore written in, there’s not a question in your mind who this person was voting for. When you go through those, they’re unambiguous: Bush got some of those votes, but they were overwhelmingly for Gore. For example, in an analysis of the 2.7 million votes that had been cast in Florida’s eight largest counties, The Washington Post found that Gore’s name was punched on 46,000 of the over-vote ballots it, while Bush’s name was marked on only 17,000....
