Reply #15: Here's A Different Take.... [View All]

Colorado state legislature long since approved voter initiatives on ballots. Thus, the initiative placed on the ballot by voters is valid in colorado, for better or worse.
The state legislature, in allowing for ballot referendums, has already given it's approval for the Electoral Votes to be determined by this vote.
Thus, there is no argument that stands up. I'm serious, though, when I say I fear Civil War over this election!! Both sides are more polarized than I have ever seen, and both sides are to the point where they will do ANYTHING to get their way, and Heaven help us if they don't! This is what Bush "the untier not the divider" has given us...a country more bitterly divided than I have ever seen in my lifetime!
And I can tell you that the liberal-progressive side isn't going to take another 2000 sitting down! Likewise, the conservo-creeps are not likely to take a loss sitting down, they will NOT go peacefully because the people have asked them to.
Either way, I fear a literal Civil War in this country. And this time, I don't think it will be a nice, neat North vs South thing...not even a nice Red vs. Blue thing...there will be "opportunity groups" all over the place that will take advantage of civil unrest, and we will end up with 100 different factions all fighting each other for the rancid bits of what is left of a once-great nation...tanks in the streets and martial law will become the norm.
This is what I fear. We truly ARE that divided a people now. And Abe Lincoln said it 7 score and 3 years ago..."A house divided against itself cannot stand." I agree. I think we may well be looking, sadly, at the final days of the United States of America...and I shudder to think what might replace it.
