Having Said That

Having Said That

October 31, 2008 @ 20:39

Not to repeat myself, but I have to say it again. I may be a Canadian conservative, but that doesn't put me anywhere close to an American conservative.

A Canadian conservative is a lot more in common with an American democrat, and I guess that's why I hope Barack Obama wins the election on Tuesday.

I think he's the right guy at the right time and he'll represent a refreshing change from eight ridiculous years of George W. Bush.

Having said that, I'm worried. I'm worried that the world's self appointed greatest democracy could come crashing down Tuesday night. Not from a literal standpoint, but more symbolic.

Anybody with a brain knows the fable that is the United States of America, all the crap about it being the world's greatest country and a beacon of hope and prosperity.

It's far from the world's greatest country, hell its doesn't even come close to Canada but the average American has eaten the bullshit so long, they won't even take the time to look at their northern neighbours and appreciate how much better off we are

Maybe on Tuesday, when everything they apparently stand for explodes, it will make a few million people wake up.

I have a feeling that the upcoming American election could reduce the United States of America to nothing better than a banana republic. I have a feeling the election could be "influenced" and Americans blacks will be the target.

If you thought voter irregularities in 2000 and 2004 were bad, you haven't seen anything yet. I fully expect that heavily populated African American areas of the United States will experience "problems" on Tuesday night. It will difficult for these people to cast ballots with anything and everything thrown in the way to prevent them from voting for Barack Obama.

The United States is poised to experience the largest African American voter turnout in its history and it simply won't be tolerated and everything possible will be done to prevent these people from voting. Hell, there was already evidence of it in advanced polling.

There will be excuses and cover-ups and propaganda to cover it up, but I truly believe it could happen.

The so-called greatest country on earth, the world's so called ultimate example of freedom and democracy could be so blatantly exposed on Tuesday night it may never recover.

Fred, it's already happening. Florida has passed a law dis-allowing persons from voting whose registration doesn't EXACTLY match their ID. It affects those who have moved recently and those who go by a form of their official name (like Rick instead of Richard).

Estimates figure the law will affect 20% of the voters in Florida and more than half of those are Blacks and Latinos; those most likely to vote for Obama. Well, of course, Jeb doesn't want his state to elect Obama instead of brother W.

Can you think of anything more covertly racsist?

So true Fred, I'm a member of a number of Automotive forums, most members are Americans. They paint us as Commie's because of our social programs. Had one guy say, " if you look at Canada on my world map it's pink, as close to red as you can get".
They really are in their own little world.

"Mike from Lowville" is right on. I also see that among American car guys. They're all rabid, gun-carrying Republicans. OTOH, American music lovers are all Democrats. We'll just have to wait and see.

If you don't think that the Democrats are are getting a large number of votes from dead people, from nonexistent people, and from illegal aliens then you're squirrelly.
