  • The end of American democracy may be near

    It is hard to call. It is far from definite, but it is possible.

    In the midterm and presidential elections.... the democrats would win. There is no way the Republicans are going to keep the senate. Unless a total idiot is fielded, it seems likley the democrats would win the presidency.

    Have you watched fox news, or any conservative media sources in the last week?

    "WORLD WAR 3! WORLD WAR 3! THE SKY IS FALLING!"

    There is no threat of world war 3. Israel is going to wipe the floor with Lebanon and no other countries are going to get involved. This is an entirely contained conflict, anyone who says otherwise is pandering for political reasons.

    However this does not stop the Republicans fear mongering. Many Americans have the idiot and untrue notion that Republicans are strong on national defense and Democrats are weak. Depending on how long it takes for Israel to stop ***** slapping Lebannon, this can be a campaign issue.

    Almost 7 years of Republican rule have ruined our economy, stretched our military and stripped us of many of our freedoms and resulted in massive election fraud on numerous levels. I am not confident for what else will be done in 4 years to further strip us of our freedoms and tighten their stranglehold on out country. Trying to repeal the voting rights act? Electronic voting machines which make rigging an election(an already easy task) even easier?

    Discuss.

      Fixed. Also, What part of the real life time line are you talking about?

        What do you mean? We've got the best democracy money can buy!

        Not sure how much turnover there's going to be - it's hard to unseat an incumbent, whatever his party.

        Fearmongering worked last election. Not to mention stuff going on in Republican-controlled states to make it hard for voters in largely Democratic areas to vote.

                  stipulating that massive vote fraud is just a republican thing is quite niave. The rest of the comments strike a similar belief.

                    I am not claiming something as ridiculous as hearing from prophecies from my belly button lint. You can look at the past, present circumstances and attempt to predict what is possible to occur.

                    When you go to sleep you predict the sun will rise tommorow. It is a matter of degree. I said what is possible, not what will happen-I did not even say it was more likley then not to occur.

                      Rah. Democrats are as guilty of voter fraud from redistricing, to miscounting to illegal exclusions as Repulicans. Republicans have just had alot more sucess doing it latley.

                        The contrast, actually, is that Thorn's prediction has a far greater chance of being correct.

                            The contrast is your a troll who takes ever possible opportunity to insult me.

                            This could potentially give the Republicans enough to campaign on to hold onto the senate and the presidency.

                              It's a fair cop.
