Now, if we had a president who had actually done a lot more of what Obama
promised back in 2004, and he lost out on a second term in a way that
convinced most people it was due to this kind of fraud, then we might have a
problem.

Ja, who would have guessed that one?  Obama turned out to be nearly
identical to Bush43.  The only real change I can see is that medical
insurance companies have been struck down.  They will be required to sell
insurance to anyone regardless of health, and yet the small tax incentive
for healthy people to buy insurance is vastly insufficient to bring in large
numbers of new healthy customers into the insurance office.  Result: health
insurance companies must fail.

The Occupy movement?  That was the only example I saw of civil disobedience,
and that never amounted to much of anything.  Once the weather warmed up, I
expected it to really get rolling, but instead it fizzled to nothing as far
as I know.

Perhaps my premise is wrong: there really isn't much riding on this
election.
