15. "Insurrection and civil war" if the cheats are known? Naaah...
That would require Democrats to get mad when they are cheated. That didn't happen in 2004. It won't happen in 2006.

Let me put it simply. In any of the big national forums where Democrats can be heard - which now consists only of the Sunday talk shows - have you heard any Democratic party officials or Presidential hopefuls talk about the Diebold cheats and the possibility that the election may be stolen? Or to ask all voters to demand paper ballots?

Voter fraud has been made a "major issue" to the Democratic faithful. But it hasn't been brought forth publicly, in a national forum, as an issue ALL Americans should be concerned about.

And yes, there's the potential that making such a statement might cause voters to drop out, but what good does it matter to vote if the votes are stolen/lost/gerrymandered out anyway?

Such a statement would be a genuine declaration of war against the Republicans. They call Democrats traitors? How would they react if we called them cheats, liars and hypocrites?

But again, that would require Democratic leaders who had the capability of becoming righteously angry. Ain't gonna happen.
