The great election heist of 2006 is underway
Edited on Tue Sep-12-06 02:30 PM by Sam Odom
Do NOT believe, in REAL life, the gap between Dem & Repub are closing in the new political polls. No way they could be! This is just part of the 'plan.'

No way they could steal an election here and there with a double digit differences in polling numbers. They must get the numbers within striking distance so to 'sell' their high-jacking.

2. That's exactly what corporate media will...
Edited on Tue Sep-12-06 02:38 PM by Mr_Jefferson_24
repeatedly trumpet as we approach November: "GOP Candidates Gaining Momentum as Elections Draw Near, Democrats Still with No Plan." The polling gap will still be double digit---they'll simply lie about it.

3. Huge problems in wealthy, liberal Montgomary County Maryland
See the WP blog here:

Diebold machines didn't work. Ran out of provisional ballots. Nightmare.

4. So If The Dems Lose Again.....
Then what?

I get laughed at and ridiculed when I say that someday in the not distant future, I see myself elsewhere than Amerika.

When the 2006 election is fixed, what to do then? Keep fighting and losing? Or just leave.

9. Maket closed at 100+ - - Polls have bush at 41%??
The media is doing their best to put lipstick on the Pig. They only show film clips of the only printable comment Snow made today. All the speeches the Dems made for the past week were only shown on c-span if at all.

We all know the rules of their game, catch me if you can (cheating).

10. I have to disagree.
They don't need to fix pre-election polling at all. In fact, the post-election coverage might just as well be a post-mortem on polling itself because the MSM will be explaining why the GOP will have racked up convincing wins DESPITE being down in the polls. Perhaps this will be the end of polling as we know it, because it will be shown once and for all to be of little accuracy and value.

Here is why the GOP wins big:
1.redistricting makes few races competitive
2.dems fielded poor candidates
3.the youth vote stayed home
4.values and security voters came out in force
5.dems thought they were so far ahead that they failed to come out

But that would require us to take responsibility and work harder.

18. I'm open to suggestions about working harder to stop election fraud.
It's a murky subject, and I never seem to find concrete answers about what to do about it. Do you have any specific suggestions?

19. The polls are indeed a sham
Even if they AREN'T part of a vast conspiracy to "steal" the election, they are distractions.

The only poll that matters is the election itself.

All others deserve to be ignored.

20. Oh geez, here go the excuses & we haven't even lost yet. Typical.
The reason the gap is closing is because Republicans are acting like the desperate party and Dems are coasting. Coast and we lose. We ought to be pouncing and shouting about corruption, and instead we get deafening silence from our people with only a few exceptions here and there.
