Here it comes...CNN investigating voting "irregularities"
Edited on Wed Oct-15-08 11:22 PM by Last Stand
Now that Obama has a commanding lead, they are opening a hotline and casting doubt on the results before they're even in. This is the only angle they have left. Assuming Obama wins, making the results appear contaminated may be easier than cooking the books to get McInsane in office the same way W has stolen his elections. This way, an Obama landslide victory could wind up in the grubby hands of the Supreme Court.

Anyone else get the sense that this approach is getting some traction?

1. I don't think so.
Before, there were just enough voters stupid to vote for bush to make his installation/"win" plausible. But Obama's lead is too great for such a scenario to gain traction, at least to the same degree. If Obama gets, say, 65% of the potential vote, and we remove 5% for Diebold vote flipping and the republicans' illegal voter suppression, that still leaves McCain with only 35%. Subtract 20% for the brainless fundie vote, that's 15% who voted for McCain as the result of some kind of thought process, flawed though it may be.

So how can the media pound such a story and get anywhere when, at most, maybe 15% will think it might have some merit? People will know whom they voted for and the media telling them they really didn't vote that way won't really work.

2. It doesn't matter as this is what they will use and....
even if Obama wins, they will continue to use it to cast doubt. America cannot have this happen. She is already split in two as is.

friends needed to determine where and how many votes to steal.

They needed and got a near 50-50 split going into the race (while they still worked others states where there were close calls and close Congressional seats and other seats.
They needed and succeeded in throwing out their previously accurate exit poll company (jointly funded by the networks - one that worked so well for them for years - one that enabled them to call the seats before official announcements ---- they then used their own concoction for polling and when everyone went to bed thinking Kerry had won - they came up with the midnight flip in Ohio - not to be refuted by their old supplier of exit polling).
They needed a swing state in each election and got FL in 2000 and Ohio in 2004.
They needed and got officials in each state and teams of helpers to purge, cage, misdierct, hide, mid-design, take presumptive actions and pull switches. Supposedly, the got the sheriff to put up roadblocks in one FL precinct. They gave out wrong directions, Harris used a major company to purge voters, the machines, the butterfly ballot disaster, Brother Jeb, Cousin Bush at Fox, Jack Welsh, Blackwell, ballots hidden in closets, ballots in dumpsters, over supply of machines at Republican precincts, and way, way under to the point of rediculous idiocy at some Dem precincts.
They needed and got the help of the media to lie.
Then they went to work changing numbers.

The most important of these was the 50-50 split going in to the final Election day. Obama is looking good and even better with the unknown new youth vote and the cell phone users vote - if we go by gut. It's not close to 50-50 (Thank God) - which is the most important of the criteria.

It appears they only have martial law or a catastrophe combined with another executive order plus more from the wimpy Dems who march to the Republican concept of patriotism.

We can't be sure of ourselves. Knowing them, they probably haven't made enough wealth for themselves and their baron sponsors and have plenty of crimes still to hide - so won't want to leave - they may not have brought us far enough down to get us where they want us - serving them obediently and consuming their friends products while they watch every move we make.
