I respectfully ask you to read my truly heartfelt opinions here, and to take them into utmost consideration, because I firmly believe that if Bush is allowed to stay in power it will result in a possible worldwide tragedy resulting in the loss of many lives, and the loss of many of the rights and liberties that we have assigned to ourselves in the past as Americans.
In the 1930's, the German people who opposed the Nazis spread their votes out among several political parties, and failed to unite behind a party strong enough to keep Hitler and the Nazis from attaining power. As a result of this unfortunate lack of foresight and unity among German voters, the Nazis gained enough power to give them the ability to covertly and undemocratically manipulate and control the German government in order to implement their radical right wing policies. The result, as you probably know, was iron fisted political repression, ethnic group persecutions, unilateral military aggression, and a subsequent worldwide bloodbath.
