Guard, Reserve screwed yet again.
How much of the military vote do you think Whistle Ass will get next year?
With U.S. forces stretched thin in Iraq and the Bush administration still searching for additional international peacekeepers, the Army has ordered thousands of National Guard and Army Reserve forces in Iraq to extend their tours in the country to a year, months longer than many of the troops had anticipated, Army officials said yesterday. While defense officials have had authority since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to activate Guard and reserve troops for two years, most to date have been called up for only a year of total service, which has included weeks or months for training in the United States before heading to Iraq as well as debriefings once they returned home.
The new order, requiring 12-month tours on the ground in Iraq or surrounding countries, means that many Guard and Army Reserve troops could have their original year-long mobilizations extended for anywhere from one to six months, Army officials said.

well, if this election is anything like the last one, the absentee ballots wont count anyway. hell, im not convinced that bush will let this election happen. can you say martial law? its in the constitution, it is the executive branches trump card. he just needs to orchestrate rioting (which could very well happen in new york at the republican convention) and WAAAAAM! no more elections, the nation is in lockdown, and the real nature of this beast will be revealed. dont think it is possible, read your history. republics turn to empires, which then fall, that is the political cycle of life. it is not avoidable, only postponable. greece, rome, france, germany, germany again, and now the united states. those who dont read history are doomed to repeat it, and unfortunately they will take the rest of us with them (yes, i know germany wasnt technically a republic before ww1 but no metaphore holds true throughout)
the only question is, will americans let this happen?

With Diebold's machines in place? 98.9% (They want 100%, but they realize that would look suspicious)

I predict that all of the overseas ballots that are for Bush will manage to find their way into the ballot boxes in 2004. But, and votes against Bush will be considered 'spoiled', and won't be included in the votes counted.
I further predict that this murdering Whistle Ass will find a way to leave any GI voting against him in the theater of operations until he is, to quote Pinhead himself, 'no longer a problem'.
Remember, you heard it here first...

Electronic absentee voting is in place for active military now...so you can count on that vote being hijacked by Whistle Ass. What we can do is make sure exiting veterans get on board with us. I am a veteran, and you have no idea how pissed we are...we have been truly betrayed by these bastards and now we are witness to this unfolding nightmare. Any veteran who votes for a republican is a phoney and a cheapshit sob. Whistle Ass OUT in 2004!!!
