I have been here a few weeks now and have read so many studies and theories as to how this election was stolen. They have made my jaw drop on multiple occassions, and have convinced me further beyond a doubt that Kerry won. The problem is I have gotten so wrapped up in all the post-election data that I have lost sight of what my biggest concern of losing this election has been for a year now.
Now first let me declare I stand behind the majority of theories here, and am 100% convinced there was fraud at of least some level that came into play. I also 100% believe that the repubs undertook a tremendous effort to disenfranchise countless numbers of minority voters from voting for Kerry. But that is not what disturbs me most about our new face of politics in this country. The fraud and other dirty tactics are all abhorrent, but at the end of the day I now remember what disturbed me the most this past year, and what the cause of millions upon millions of Bush votes were due from.
We have to understand first that if the fraud is real, though it very well could've totalled enough votes for Bush to delcare victory it is still only numbered in the few millions at most. But what about the other minimum of 50 million voters that still legitimately voted for the shrub? A large part of that base is simply due to loyalty and ignorance to the issues. But the other part of that number came from a completely different source. A source that I believe to be the most disturbing part of this election year and the core of the corruptness of our government. So let me get to the point. Why did these millions of voters legitimately vote for the shrub? Because they were brainwashed. Yes, I said it, BRAINWASHED. Over the past year (and more) I had been so disturbed at the messages we were getting from our administration. The same messages over and over. We rarely heard about any other issues other than their own valued talking points, and we would hear them so reduntantly at times even the best of us may have started believing them. I also on a daily basis would feel my stomach twist when talking to some repubs about the election and about how bad of a job the shrub has done. It would amaze me that one by one, they would repeat the same messages over and over without any ability to listen to anything new. I started calling them 'Parrot Heads' cause all they could do is squawk out the same thing over and over regardless of what the question you asked them was. Even in the debates Bush used brainwashing. That is why he didn't answer half of the questions legitimately, instead he kept saying his few talking points over and over again. Now we may have thought he came off stupid and unable to answer, but in fact he was just bolstering the brainwashing efforts. I want all of you to take a moment to step back and think about how brainwashing works, how it is pulled off, then think back over the past year. It has been a propaganda machine like none I've seen in my lifetime, and brilliant brainwashing at levels never before seen in politics. This thread is getting too long already, so I won't go on in detail about the million signs of brainwashing that have occured. But what motivated me to post was that I wanted to quickly google brainwashing to see if I could fully understand how it is pulled off, and if this theory has merit, and to my surprise found countless links to how the BUSHCO has done absolutely that. Here's a good one to start with:
http://www.new-enlightenment.com/brainwash1.htmSo my point? Yes, fraud and disenfranchisement lost us hundreds of thousands or even a few million votes. But this Brainwashing cost us millions upon millions. That is why though BUSHCO has done nothing worthy of re-election (re-selection) in 4 years he still was able to get so many legitimate votes (though of course not as many as the totals show). OUR JOB IS TO DE-PROGRAM THOSE THAT ARE BRAINWASHED BEYOND THE POINT OF REASON!!
