And there's no doubt in my mind these people will do anything to hold onto power.

Including suspend the Constitution. Which means finding an excuse to suspend the Constitution.

Look at the so-called Patriot Act, which does that. Which was stampeded into law on the emotion of the moment, much the way a mob can be convinced to lynch someone.

I think these are dangerous times if one values freedom. I've often wondered what would happen if Kerry were way ahead in the polls - what GWB & Co. would do.

Or if he were ahead in the polls, but lost the election. What would happen in the interim.

There's way too much involved to allow voting which doesn't leave a paper trail. Way too much. That's worth a Constitutional amendment. But wait, isn't this where I came in?
