Will There Be Riots And Such?
October 31, 2008 by Alien Trucker
I guess we will know Wednesday. The police all over the country are ramping up to quell the predicted unrest. I guess they realize that another stolen election by the fraudulent Refuglicans with the help of vote flipping machines reported all over from W. Virginia to Texas will cause the populace of the US to get out and protest.
In a report from The Hill the reason given is racially motivated. The worries are that in case of an Obama defeat heavily black populated cities will see race riots. I don’t think the rioting will be racially motivated. I think, if there is rioting, it will be done by folks of all races.
I am not predicting a revolution at this time but if the governments backers see the need for another theft of the vote a revolution will come soon. People are tired of the bullshit. The current administration, “elected” and put into power by fraud has done so much damage to our nation that I don’t think the common folks will put up with it much longer.
I was reading a truckers magazine the other day and a story in it was covering truck drivers and the thoughts they have about the upcoming election. Surprisingly the majority of truckers polled at a truckstop were very unhappy with the Repube choice McCain.
I say surprisingly because most over the road drivers have very far right leaning political views. Not far right enough to be blind to what has happened in the past 8 years though. They can see how much like Bush McCain is. They have been affected adversely by the current administrations policies and fraud that it touches their wallets…hard.
From astronomical fuel prices to the housing crisis this administration has hurt the truckers. If anyone remembers the fuel crisis of the early ’70’s they will remember how truckers banded together to get things right. From convoys of protest to slowdowns and strikes they showed the government how trucking, or the lack of it I guess, affects the daily life of our country.
With over 80% of America’s goods being transported by truck the drivers have all of our lives in their hands. Considering that the grocery warehouses in any city or region have three days supply of food at any given time if the truckers were to strike there would be no food after just one week…or less. The government has a backup plan for this event. National Guard and a contractor can be called up to move products in case of this happening.
But wait…The Guard and Halliburton have most of their folks and equipment in Iraq so those saviors wont be here and the plan goes up in smoke. Another fuckup by this administration. If the drivers do decide to strike there really is no backup plan after all.
I hope they see the problems and don’t decide to go ahead with the theft of America again. Let the votes be real.
Watch this video from West Virginia. If you vote in a state with touchscreen voting be aware. Take your cameras so you can record any discrepancies and have proof. Stand up against the system and make your vote count…the way it should be.

A.T.~ Your links are in blue for everyone else. As the author you don’t see them.
It’s a weird quirk in the template I guess. Sorry.
Extreme right wing political operatives would like to scare a lot low information voters in to thinking there would be riots if Obama wins, is which part and parcel of how they always operate, dishonestly
In terms of truckers or any other group that typically holds conservative values, I am not surprised at all about what you learned. What many of us seem to forget is that the vast majority of Americans’ political positions are in the middle, either moderate Republicans or moderate Democrats, and when we exclude the extremists views, and when we are able to separate out the agenda of big business/big money, both moderate Republicans and moderate Democrats are reasonable, and share many of the same values relating to the country established by The Founders and our rights under the Constitution. The conservative voters who are expressing displeasure with Bush and McSame are acting very rationally, as they, like the majority of Americans recognize that Bush/Cheny has been a total disaster for our country, and these voters know it is up to them to help us turn the corner and begin picking up the pieces.
Why do we even have Diebold machines anymore? This recalibration demo seems staged. I don’t want even ONE vote to be flipped.
We need to get rid of these unreliable & crappy machines. Voting should be totally auditable or scrapped.
Jeez the big bad superpower should have decent voting processes.
Thanx Dusty. I went ahead and edited that part out then.
Happy Halloween.
Fran; They do have a decent process.They just can’t use it if they wanna win.
Big Fella; I think my surprise comes from being out there as a driver for years. The stuff I heard at truck stops and on the C.B. made me think most were incapable of trying to see anything differently. Your analysis makes sense though. thanx.
riots? being from a country where there would have been riots re:bush gore,i was shocked @ people’s apathy..i’d advocate peaceful demonstrations if the election is stolen from us again…..they do it to us because they can..
