4. Just remember who owns the machines.
It doesn't matter if 80% of the American people vote for Clinton. Bush will win. They cheat. They have done it for the past two elections and will do it again.

There must be many, many more who are also qualified to lead the country who aren't war criminals.

Clinton did his share of sucking up to the Bushies and I don't think we'd have the same guy a third time around.

5. Fuck Clinton, I'm sick of him and Hillary!
Thanks to them we have this POS media.

I personally think it has all been a big fucking game and we're the ones getting played.

8. POS. You know, for a moment, I thought that meant
...point of service. Same thing, eh? Yeah, I'm so sick of Clinton, I didn't vote for him in 1996. The very idea of Hillary running for POTUS makes me nauseous.

12. sorry, but if you turn out enough people and the polls aren't close
then they can't use their fucking machines. if they do then they won't have a country to rule, it will be more like "land of the dead".

27. We turned out enough people in 2004
and the polls weren't close. Not close in the sense that they predicted a Kerry win early...and then the tide mysteriously turned.

The RW owns the media and the voting machines. They need little else.

That's why we have to try.

7. It doesn't matter - Right Wing Republican or Republican Lite are
still "in love" with Israel and own stock in the War Machine. If this happens, Americans are screwed who make less than 3 million per year, i.e., the non-investor class.

The Clinton's - both Bill and Hil; The Joes - Biden and Lieberman; a number of other Democrats; and most Republicans are NOT on the peoples' side.

9. You have to ask yourself...
What would be better, 4 more years of Bush, or having Clinton back?

I'd take Clinton back in a heartbeat even though he's not what I'd call the "ideal" Democratic candidate.

10. have you been paying attention to the voting system?
Kerry beat bush.. Gore beat bush... my dead grandmother can beat bush, but the "official" numbers will show bush wins... tell me you understand this?! please... or are we still at square 1! Hidden source codes and paperless voting...

IMPEACHMENT is the only goal now..

15. Ronald Reagan
If we didn't have the 22nd Amendment, he'd STILL be President.

25. no "wishing" or expectation here...
I merely look at this thing in terms of what might happen e.g. the 22nd amendment is repealed, Bush runs a third time and the dem's bring Bill back etc. Of course there could be all sorts of other possible scenarios.

22. Allowing Dumbass to beat Clinton would be the entire point.
And through electro-fraud it would be accomplished, thereby allowing the right wing to proclaim the final victory of the Chimp over Bill Clinton and his penis.

Of course, as close as Clinton has been with Poppy lately, and as far as Hillary has gone to the right, I'm not sure a third Clinton term would be an improvement at this point. Maybe for the economy, but not a damn bit of difference in foreign policy.

24. Do you realize just how long it takes to pass an ammendment???
I doubt this would ever even get out of Congress, but if it did, it would have to go through the retification process. Almost every politician we now know would be too damn old to even run by then!
