SHOULD US POSTPONE ELECTIONS IF TERRORISTS ATTACK?


[+] ballot by Cathexis
created Mon Jul 12, 04

American counter-terrorism officials, citing what they call 'alarming' intelligence about a possible Al Qaeda strike inside the United States this fall, are reviewing a proposal that could allow for postponing the November presidential election in the event of such an attack.

If there was an attack, should US officials postpone the election or continue, anyway? Why?

Continue scheduled election.
Postpone scheduled election.

No, there is no good reason to postpone an election.

No way.

Bush might try it but he is going to be hung out to dry. Then the 44th president will rain blood on the world. Of course, people who aren't aware of the black magic connotations of multiples of 11 (the number of black magic assigned by Aleister Crowley) and 4 (the black magical number for blood) might think that Skull and Bones Kerry might think that he is better than Skull and Bones Bush.

Just raise the terrorist threat level to pinky -maroon and you will be fine

It makes me nervous that they are putting this idea out to the public. Postpone elections? People go to thousands of different places to vote, scattered far and wide. I could maybe see cancelling New Year's at Time Square or the Fourth of July at the Washington Monument (which they didn't), or even the Inauguration in January - but the elections? Do they think we were all born yesterday? Come to think of it, maybe they do...

No, UNLESS the attack is so bad that it somehow prevents a lot of people from voting, or the attack somehow wipes out all of the candidates.

I can just see it now...

Bush: "Rumsfeld, I'm falling in the polls again. We need to influence this election. Let's fake some more hijackings and fly the planes into the Sears Tower. Then we can buy some time to gain some support and THEN have the election."

Rumsfeld: "Duh. Okie dokie smokey. Whatever you say *hic*."

If we delay the elections then we have done what the terrorist want. The terrorist can't truly win, I think thay know that as well as the U.S. However if they can cahnage the lives and traditons to reflect there political agenda then they have achieved there objective.

Hey - let's delay it FOREVER so the Bush dynasty can stay in power indefinitely.

It's all a political ploy to get Bush elected in november

What's the point of delaying the election. Just cancel it altogether and declare Bush emperor.
by Goku94 on Mon Jul 12, 04 6:41pm [+]

Why not bring it up tomorrow? Why should we wait till after November for Bush to lose?

If terrorists attack, all government leaders should immediately resign and make me the supreme ruler of the USA. However, since that's unlikely to happen, elections should go on unless the candidates are killed, or large numbers of ballots are destroyed or unable to be cast.

NO. Even during the Civil War, the Presidential Election went on. Bush is so desperate, because he knows his time's almost over, that he's willing to use this sad, nefarious tactic to stay in power somehow.

That just goes to show what caliber of thugs and criminals are in the White House.

Only in the case of a catastrophe. Like if Kerry wins.
by Stewie on Tue Jul 13, 04 4:40pm [+]

no, not voting is a score for the terrorists, it would show that they can disrupt us...
