1. No.
People really belive that John Kerry will ban bibles -- seriously. People don't care that others were prevented from voting in 2000. They really don't care. Riots should have broken out but people don't care.

2. hell, my kid lives in rural Idaho with his cowboy dad ...
and he tells me last week he has to vote for Bush cuz Kerry will cut their grazing rights on public land. So I look and look and it is Bush who has an increased grazing fee proposed on public land. Rednecks. They will believe fear over anything. I love my kid but his redneck dad is clueless but he has horses....

4. The people of our nation are generally not smart enough...
to find their own arses with both hands, a map, a flashlight, and a GPS receiver accurate to ten-thousandths of a second of latitude and longitude.

7. Beware of what you are saying here, it's time to throw out
electoral voting!, and just go with the popular vote.....
You wouldn't want *some unknown people voting FOR you would you?*

8. The nation is fine. It's the media that needs to be marginalized.
