Will the 2008 Presidential Election be Canceled?

[DOGMAN]

McCain has suspended his campain for President so he can focus on the Economy crisis. I just heard on the radio, that this is just a set-up for Bush to cancel the upcoming election. So, that there won't be a change in power. Also, troops are supposedly being brought in from Afganistan and Iraq that are prepared to deal with "civil unrest" on our own soils!

I am not normally a conspiracy theory believer....and I am still not. But, this sounds weird. Is it possible to cancel or postpone an election?

Jason, my friend.....you really need to start listening to another radio station - one based in reality on planet earth. To answer your question - No.

I know, I know...I am not some Bragg styled doomsayer- and this was AM talk radio, but McCain's move is weird.

It is possable to declare a "State of Economic Emergency", and "Cancel" anything the President wants, Including taking your dogs, your home, your food, anything. Called the "Emergency Powers ACT".

It was born in the Nixon Ruler for life years. Most, feel that if Nixon had not had some weenie wittle, impeachment issues, He intended to be Ruler for Life.

I won't dwell on it, because it is politics, but all he did is say to the voting public that he wasn't going to campaign for a few days while he went back to Washington to actually perform some of the duties that he was sent there for.....novel concept.

I think this link discusses a little about it, it was tied into the Patriot act

this line is particularly disturbing:

g) Protecting and stabilizing the Nation's economy and ensuring public confidence in its financial systems; and

1st, knock off the political talk. 2nd, throw your radio away; all the news is usually distorted anyway. 3rd, give your notes to Bragg as I don't read his stuff, but I do read yours...ok? 4th, relax, trust me on this, Bush doesn't want to be President anymore, just hand over all the problems to the next guy, besides, the Constitution will not allow them to cancel the election, you see....HOLY CRAP! THEY JUST SAID ON CNN THAT THE ELECTION WAS...CANCELLED!!!.....just kidding.:eek::rolleyes::D:cool:

Feds can do anything they want but the answer is NO NO NO we need new meat

[crashdive123]

You see? This is why political talk is verboten on this forum.

[DOGMAN]

Sorry, sorry Already. This just seemed like shocking news to me, and I wanted to share it with my friends- After all...you guys are pretty much my only friends, and I just needed to get some feedback.
I really agree with Sarge's statement "Bush doesn't want to be President anymore" as every time I have seen him speaking lately he seems to want to shout out "I quit"

[crashdive123]

Jason - my tin foil hat was aimed at the "Feds can do anything they want" comment.

I just wished he had said it before I voted for him,for the second time :eek::eek::mad:

[BraggSurvivor]

Maybe he will announce a 3rd term. Third time's a charm, right?

If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again?

[nell67]

Not hardly,theres no chance in He** that he would ever get elected again...

[BraggSurvivor]

At this point, it is beyond me why anyone is even listening to these clowns. It was not even one week ago when the Emperor, Ben and Hank were telling everyone the economy was "sound". Now, if you don't give their banker friends $700 billion in the next 24 hours, western civilization is supposed to end. What happened in the last 24 hours? Did I miss something?

If SHTF really hard in the economy before election date, there is a strong possibility the Pres could go on by proclaiming Marshal Law.

After that speech, I hope John Q-Six Pack, is not lined up at the bank tomorrow AM.

Might as well suspend the Constitution as well.

Make it official.

I have to say, if they suspend the First Amendment I would have to shut up. I don't care for myself but it will kill my wife if they kill me or lock me up, so I must limit my exposer.

I try and keep it to a dull roar. :D

:)I ment President Bush's speech, not yours.....:)

I know.

I listened to the whole thing. I got nothing at all from it. What did you take away?

Did he say "now watch this shot" when he was through? ;)



It's all good if you subject your children to slavery speech. I am basically a nutter, ridiculed on this board and in my community. NOW people are asking me about economics. I'm most cases too late, I'm afraid. The herd is getting spooked my friend. That's the best thing about all this - people are beginning to open their eyes and ears...... if it helps just one person.

It's quite an odd feeling. Now that it's real, I'm losing interest.

What happens after the Reckoning? Time to move on to new pastures? We know what's going to happen now.

BTW, just got a copy of Dying of Money by Jens O Parsson. Good read.

This is way out there but, I wonder if America is getting Blackmailed by another country. For example Fanny Ma and Freddy Mac spread a lot of bogus paper on the whole world. What if China, who was dumping Fanny and Freddy stock for 5 months be for the closure, got caught holding 500 billion in derivatives, and said take this crap back, or we won't take any of your Treasuries. This whole event is more like a squeeze, than a bailout. I do not believe it, but something smells fishy.

McCain recently suggested suspending a debate so they could all focus on the economy while Osamabama wanted to continue with it. I'm pretty sure the election can't get cancelled, or maybe I missed something in those poly sci classes.

[Arkansas_Ranger]

For the guy that mentioned China, you do realize the U.S. government is in debt over its head to China.
