Ethel the Blog: Lock-down on the horizon

"PRIMING THE PROLES"
The drumbeat gets louder as the loyal scribblers of the cabal keep their latest talking point going.
Federal election officials will meet next week with officials of the Department of Homeland Security to discuss whether and how they would delay the November presidential election in the event of a catastrophic terrorist attack, a top elections official told MSNBC on Monday.
The official, DeForest B. Soaries Jr., chairman of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, denied in an interview on MSNBC's Countdown that federal officials had any plans to postpone the election, but he confirmed a report in the new edition of Newsweek magazine that the panel was seeking to establish a process to do so should it become necessary.
... So where the hell is all the tough talk now? Where's Mr. 'Bring It On!' when it comes to maintaining the cornerstone of American democracy come hell or high water? How about somebody in the cabal finding (or at least borrowing) some real cojones and saying, 'No matter what happens, some two-bit punk with a grievance and a fist full of explosives isn't going to f*ck with the basis of our democracy. And it's f*cking ludicrous to think that a group consisting of a few hundred members at most is going to conquer a country with the biggest economy and military the world has ever seen.' Oh, wait a minute. That's not the point, is it?posted by Steven Baum 7/13/2004 10:33:10 AM | link "
