It has come up in conversation that if Bush does in fact win the election that Martial Law would be declared. The Constitutiond would be suspended (it is not really of much use these days anyway) and we would all likely to become slaves to the government. This country is headed toward being socialist. If this in fact does happen, what would you do?

Isn't martial law more to the conservative side, wouldn't you think? Though Bush doesn't seem to have much respect for the Constitution, I doubt martial law would be declared unless some major crisis occured(such as major terror attacks, a war, or peak oil goes worst-case).

Whoever wins the election, can not only affect American lifes, he also
can affect other lives in many many countries in the World.

As a human being, one should care and encorage the World peace and
environment. So please vote responsibly.

If Oil goes, well.. no more computers, electricity... nothing.

Well, I don't see where the hell you got that rumor from, but if martial law is declared.. Well, that would honestly be bad. I doubt Bush himself would make anything socialist, but perhaps his '9/11 Council" or whatever it is would. I hope they just dissapear.

They can cause martial law to be declared if they stage a crisis. I personally think that 9/11 was planned. Or at least they knew about it but did not want to do anything. I do not believe that the government does advocate us anymore. It is doing next to nothing to fulfill it's original purpose. More and more states are turning into POLICE STATES. All that they want is money. So why wouldn't they declare martial law?

Every vote counts.

if u seriously think that bush will call martial law when he wins this yrs election, somethign is wrong w/u......

calling that would require approval by others, and he couldnt just veto the constitution either. Not that he would want to.......

the most likely scenario would be another terror attack if kerry won..... after deliberating w/himself for hours, he would finally call martial law, then take it back, and then call it again, and etc....

What makes you think Bush would declare Martial Law if elected? Martial Law is for a rebellion or uprising from within the country. Therefore, it could be indirectly related to a terrorist attack or oil shortage, but not directly.

we had Martial Law here in the Philippines, and it turned out bad!! that's because the leader dodn't want to get out of the position. actually in the Philippine constitution, Martial Rule is a part of a healthy democracy, but the recent presidents are not declaring it because they're afraid of kick-out to their position by people power.

i don't know about the the US constitution, but i think the federal type of governmet there is working very well, so why change??

Bush and the Republicans are almost the exact opposite
