[QUOTE]Originally posted by Zefram: [QB] This thread seems more than a little paranoid. [QUOTE]Sure, there will be massive vote-rigging on a scale that'll make 2000 and 2004 look like. . . umm, simile fails me. And there will be a place in the overall plan for random-yet-calculated security alerts; but they'll just be to slow down the voting process in key Democratic areas, or to provide a dstraction while ballot-boxes are switched or packed or tampered with. And it'll all go unreported...[/QUOTE]The 'key Democratic areas' tend to be densely populated cities such as New York or Los Angeles, which are therefore the most likely to suffer actual terrorist attacks. As for the media, the mainstream media hates Bush and is willing to report [i]anything[/i] that will make him, or the Republicans look bad. Do we all remember the fraudulent Air National Gaurd letter a few years back? CBS's response was essentially 'yeah, the letter's a fake, but an old lady said it sounds like something the now-deceased commander would have said'. As for massive ballot tampering, the mainstream media went nuts over wiretapping and the tracing of international financial transactions, do you honestly think they would turn a blind eye to full-blown ballot tampering? As for what's going on in American politics, the same thing is going on that has always gone on: the two parties fight it out to determine who will end up in temporary control of the Executive and/or Legislative branches. This tends to involve extensive mud-slinging, name-calling, and accusations. The only (somewhat) major world leader who is currently trying to become president-for-life a la Fidel Castro is Venezuela's Hugo Chavez. [/QB][/QUOTE]
