2. It's so obvious!
I can't believe people aren't talking about this.

They hate us for our freedoms! So what do we do?

LIMIT personal freedoms through the Patriot Act.
Give up democracy by cancelling/postponing the elections.

So the terrorists have changed America.........they've won!

Good job Bushie!!!!!!

5. Is it not the Bushites rather than the terrorists who have changed
America? Did not the successful attacks of 9-11, which some say could have/should have been thwarted, give GWB his trifecta and we all see what has followed: further implementation of the PNAC vision at the expense of both freedom and our own security. What you see is what you get.

4. This is a law we don't need
If there were a terror attack just before the election it wouldn't shut down the country.

In fact, it would spur turnout enormously in all areas, except the area in the immediate vicinity of the attack. Local provisions could be made for people who lived in the vicinity of the attack to vote, perhaps by special absentee ballots.

If there were multiple attacks across the nation, the People would know who was responsible for failing to protect our country, and would vote accordingly. It would be Democracy's finest hour.

OTOH, if we had a postponment law, the incumbents who again failed to protect us would remain in power, probably for as long as they chose.
