If your television declares John McCain the president elect on the evening of November 4th, your television will be lying. You should immediately pick up your pre-packed bags and head straight to the White House in Washington, D.C., which we will surround and shut down until this attempt at a third illegitimate presidency is reversed. A McCain "win" will not be illegitimate because I disagree with his policies, but because he himself has rendered it illegitimate. He and his campaign and allied supporters have sought to illegally remove hundreds of thousands of voters from the rolls, fraudulently registered people as Republicans without their knowledge and against their will, obstructed voter registration drives, falsely warned students against voting where they attend school, falsely accused community groups of voter registration fraud, falsely alleged the widespread existence of voter fraud, and encouraged supporters to falsely believe McCain's opponent is a foreign terrorist through speeches, recorded phone messages, and flyers. Already in early voting in a number of states there have been cases of votes on electronic machines visibly flipping to McCain or McKinney when intended for Obama. We will see McCain supporters on November 4th challenging people's right to vote, seeking to force people to vote on provisional ballots, and seeking to have provisional ballots discarded. And we will see electronic vote counts wildly out of step with the most recent polls, although not with exit polls -- which we will be denied any access to unless they have been "adjusted" to match the official counts. Inciting your supporters to violence with racist and religious lies about your opponent, effectively alleging treason on absolutely no basis, should be enough, alone, to disqualify a campaign for the presidency of the United States. Working to block voters from registering should be enough on its own. Any of the dozens of creative forms of vote suppression currently being used by the Republicans should be enough. And allowing votes to be counted on completely unverifiable machines owned and controlled by corporations allied with your party should make the results illegitimate even if plausible. If McCain is declared the "winner," it will not be plausible, but at this point he has so disgraced himself and our electoral system that he is no longer a legitimate candidate for president regardless of what the polls (themselves fallible, but all we've got) say just before election day. Too many people have already been denied the opportunity to even push the buttons and have their votes miscounted. Too much incendiary slander has been let loose. Too much visible vote flipping has already been documented. If Obama officially wins, McCain is likely to challenge it, charging the Obama campaign with some of the very crimes engaged in by McCain himself. Our reaction should be exactly the same in the event of a McCain challenge as in the event of a McCain "victory." We should not sit back for even a split second and wonder how it will work out. We should not try to organize a plan on the spur of the moment to travel to key battleground states. We should be prepared already to immediately travel to Washington, D.C., head straight for the White House, occupy Lafayette Square Park, the Ellipse, and surrounding streets, block entrances, and shut the place down until Obama is recognized as the president elect or we are guaranteed a credible election with universal registration and hand-counted paper ballots. We may be there for days or weeks or months. But we must be there. We must be there by the millions. We must show each other, and the nation, and the world that we have had enough, that we will not stand for one more stolen election, that we will not give in to fear, lies, theft, and intimidation. If they choose to attack our nonviolent gathering of citizens, let them do it right in front of George W. Bush's White House with the world's media watching. We will not back down. I'm not hoping it comes to this, of course. If it doesn't because the official election results are credible and just, we should celebrate and prepare to lobby our government for real change. But if resistance does not develop because people are too scared and obedient to act, then you'll still be glad you packed ahead of time, and you might want to look into tickets to Canada. Poster's comment: he got hold of some mighty powerful crack prior to writing this article....

Yes, he did. McKook is tanking it - he really doesn't want to have to get up every morning.
#e!!, it's widespread with both of them, not just McCan't. Obama has people doing crooked $#it too and anyone who says he hasn't is a liar or doesn't know what they're talking about.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. So should refusing to produce a valid birth certificate when the allegation has been made that you were born in a foreign country and thus ineligible to be president. An allegation which seems to have merit because his grandmother (the one in Africa) and a half sister and half brother said they were there when he was born--IN KENYA.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Who among the Washington ton elite will have the stones to tell Captain Queeg he didn't win?
He's tanking it, but the 'Rats are covering their bases for when everyone wakes up and realizes that no one wanted to tell pollsters that they didn't want B.O. as president but subsequently voted that way. This way the media gets lots of "anger and riots in the streets" footage, Americans are more divided, and they get to spend weeks pontificating over the "race" issue...
Bring on the Depression. Bring it the F*** ON! If digging ditches and eating beans for a few years is what it takes for me to see some worthless sacks of crap bankers and politicians living in sack cloth and being spat upon by my fellow Americans well... where's my shovel?!?!
His family background is really weird at the very least. There isn't 5 minutes of consistency in it. He's likely to turn out to be the most maniacal president we've encountered. I read an article that detailed his upbringing at the Idaho Observer, and if even 50% of it is true it is actually miraculous that he even seems somewhat normal.
There is no honor in bending one's knee to the banking elites that are robbing the children you claim to love of their future. Soon they'll convince those very same children that you deserve to be eliminated ... and they may be right. Doug Scheidt 10-21-08
So I McCain wins and the Obama worshippers riot. It will be time to have some fun and kick some ass.
Can't wait. Riots are fun.
Where is a good place to get pepper spray. Not for the rioters but for my punk nephew.
I've never used it. It only makes nasty people nastier. Buy a little black jack and whack him on the ankle bone a few times.
When you care enough to "send" the best:
This way the media gets lots of "anger and riots in the streets" footage, Americans are more divided, and they get to spend weeks pontificating over the "race" issue... Axe, all - This one is so all over the board, that I'd haven't a clue as to what will happen. My guess is that there will be tons and tons of black people voting for Obamaa. There will be tons and tons of rapture nutters voting for McCain. The rest of us will be voting for Baldwin, or staying home, come November... I believe that it makes no difference who is the nest sock-puppet.
What a crock. The fix is in for Obama.
Ahmadinejad in 2008! Buy early and buy often, nobody ever complained about an excess of ammunition when the shit hit the fan:
I think his "seeming normal" is an act and the facade will come off soon enough if he is installed as president.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. I can't help but agree ! This man is the result of very strange beginnings.

Sounds like fun. The reason I want to put the hurt on him is because he broke into one of the empty houses we were working on and did some theft last year. He has bee hiding from me every since. Little pussy prick.
