I don't care if 'I' win. Actually, the odds of there being a green president are miniscule. I've come to terms with that, and have moved on. However, it is when authoritarians come to power that I get pissed off. Authoritarians have no place in a democracy. I'm not saying an authoritarian government can't succede...it just won't work here.

Armed revolution does not imply that aa group of rebels will simply go toe to toe with the military. Even so, there is a rebellion going on right now that has almost no funding and seemingly no hope, and is holding it's own against the might of the US military. The fact of the matter is that the US military has an amazing track record against militaries of other governments, and a horrible track record against terrorist cells and insurgencies. Could I overthrow the government? If I wanted to, maybe. Could someone overthrow governmental control with the right motivation, intelect, and drive? Ask our founding fathers.

This is obviously a fringe group that has no support from the 'liberals' of this country. Revolution is far too exreme and costly, not to mention it's not necessary. Bush will be out of office soon, and then will be the best time for the 'liberals' to gather our strength and show our support at the ballot boxes.
