Default Before any results......

I want to say this, before the polls close, before any votes are tallied..........

For the past couple of weeks, and all day today, I've heard about one dirty trick or another played by people on BOTH sides of this election. Neither camp can claim innocence.

Whether it was vehicles vandalized at a DNC office in FL or tires slashed at a RNC office in Wisconsin.......fraudulent voter registrations......phony phone calls misleading voters about where to vote or when to vote......signs vandalized.......people being messed with at polling places.

From sea to shining sea, this has been probably the nastiest campaign I can remember. Most of it seems to be supporters and activists in certain 527's, but that doesn't excuse it.

To those on the Right who involved themselves in this sort of activity: I am ashamed OF you.

To those on the Left who involved themselves in this sort of activity: I am ashamed FOR you.


Often on this forum, I hear people ponder how Jefferson or one of the other founding fathers would view the drug laws or some other issue.........well I wonder what Jefferson would think of his experiement in freedom on Nov. 2, 2004?

He'd probably be upset that the country has gone down the road it has, and that a revolution hasn't happened yet

Debating is one thing. Arguing is fine too. But when it comes to those kinds of activities, makes me wonder if those people aren't just a few bricks short...


I concur.

I'm willing to bet we won't have a winner tonight , way to much voter fraud has happened, the lawsuits and recounts are going to flow. The only way I can see a winner coming out of this tonight is if someone takes it by a huge margin, which doesn't look likely, though I could be wrong.

I find it disheartening that both sides have been preparing for a legal battle for weeks.

This thread is one of the chief reasons I visit these forums almost daily (unless I'm traveling). All of us understand that we differ in politics from some of the others who have posted here, and all of us respect and appreciate each other, expressing our differences civilly

Crazy potheads that we are! (Niteshift excepted, and accepted, of course!)

Default The Post Election Pledge:

http://www.buzzmachine.com/archives/...01.html#008331

After the election results are in, I promise to:

: Support the President, even if I didn't vote for him.

: Criticize the President, even if I did vote for him.

: Uphold standards of civilized discourse in blogs and in media while pushing both to be better.

: Unite as a nation, putting country over party, even as we work together to make America better.

Remember the wise words of Britney Spears:
"Honestly, I think we should just trust our president in every decision that he makes and we should just support that."

Personally I will decline to make a promise to support our president. Frankly, I don't really trust Kerry or Bush. Peace, HN-
