Naw, couldn't be...
There is that.
But I think the ba$tards really enjoy lying.
What it is is laying the groundwork for later challenging the results and more to the point, providing cover for whipping up dissent and riots.
“How can Romney have won by 1-5-10-15 points? All the polls had him losing for MONTHS?!?!?!?! The Repubs stole the election cuz they are Racists and hate BLACK PEOPLE and THIS PROVES THEY WON BY FRAUD!!!”
Bank on it.
I think you’re right.
Why else would the media sacrifice themselves unless they knew what the endgame was?
They know he’s gonna lose and yet they are totally denying it. So they have to set the stage for their continued ‘influence’. If they deligitimize the election and set the country on fire, there is a chance they retain their seats of power. If Romney wins and actually takes the helm, they have a problem.
So they pretty much HAVE to start a riot.
And it is going to get VERY ugly.
Not sure. The elite media lives in the urban areas. They do not rate security. If the country goes up in flames, they & their families are going to be right in the middle of it.
The libs doing the reporting on the ground aren’t that smart to realize that when their ideology tells them they are safe. Remember the raped reporttertte in Egypt?
And the power people HAVE security. I’m sure they are willing to break a few eggs to usher in utopia.
When the majority of the polls are skewed for Obama to win and Romney Romney wins big there will be a call to invalidate the election.
I'd make a bet that the people that control media decisions DO have security. Their foot soldiers, not so much.
Side note. Think of all the Germans/Russians who followed the path to hell in the 30/40s.
Modern libs are their twins. Brainwashed ideologues.
There is no mechanism to do that..........
ya beat me to it!
Legally? No. Obamaly? Exec orders, a military filled with his people in/atop the Joint Chiefs/CIA/FBI/NSA and the MSM telling the people its OK is one that will work though.
Not for long...but it will work long enough for hell to start.
Great minds and all that ;)
I think it has far less to do with winning than with delegitimizing Pres Romney.
I'm thinking that these oversampled Democrat polls will lend weight to Democrats stealing the "close" states, especially if that state has a Democrat Secretary of State. Remember Soros and his Secretary of State Project - "It's not the people who vote that count. It's the people who count the votes." (Josef Stalin)
I think it has more to do with keeping Republicans away from the polls. They think if they convince enough people that there is no point in voting, that Obama has already won(Which worked for them in 2008) that Obama will win easily. This is all a scam to make people sit at home and not vote. We cannot allow ourselves to fall for this BS. I bet that Romney has enough internal polling to show that he will win this election. The media needs people to sit this one out otherwise Obama will lose and they know it
I cannot think of anything to cause a SHTF event more than Obama having Holder and the DOJ try to stop multiple red states from doing their constitutional duty to elect Romney.
Well OH, FL, and VA all have GOP governors and while I don’t know about the others, OH has a Republican Sec of State.
No.
Also, when Romney wins, they can cry voter fraud since the polls had shown BO had been ahead all this time and force another election until they get the results they want.
Yup, that’s the obvious strategy. However, I tend to think a little more darkly. BTW, Reynolds absolutely makes the best aluminum foil. :-)
Sure, the bosses have security or are carrying, I agree. Likely have sent their families to the country for the duration. Also agree they don’t care about anything/anyone else.
How far do they get putting out a show if the staff, the techs, and assorted smaller fry can’t even get to work? Do the ferals spare the network buildings and the power grid because the bosses are willing to see sacrifices? I just saw where NYC is contemplating a $15 bridge toll. How many of the essential crafts for a TV production live in New Jersey?
It is all just unbelievable, to me. 60% have no faith in the media. Print media is in huge financial trouble. People are cancelling paid TV because they cannot afford it or simply cannot stand it. People that still have TV mute the ads, fast-forward them on DVR or leave the room. Movies are doing really badly for the first time in 50 years. And the geniuses that run the media are cool with further alienating the already alienated audience?
So their ideology forces them to ignore reality and they are then targets/victims, but they keep on promoting the ideology. I am not smart enough to understand this dynamic.
Does a bear $&!t in the woods?
All I can say is look to history. When Germany and the Soviets were getting hammered, the ideologues were right there Baghdad Bob style.
They braved the bombs and violence to spread the Gospel of their masters.
WHY should this be any different when the threat of evil GOP rule hangs over their heads and all the progress of the Obamian Utopia is on the line?
They have been programmed from kindergarten to bring in the Brave New World.
The statistic I saw, I believe it was today, was that ONLY 8% of the population implicitly trusts the media. You make some good points and raise a good question.
Janet Vestal Kelly is a GOPer (VA Sec of the Commonwealth)
I think Romney has a 10 point lead. Be pretty hard for them to do anything but cry.
Polls are close to make a Rodney win seam unfair... Voter is laws will ne blamed and the usual racist charges will be levied.... This will be the foundation for unseating Rodney in 2012 when the economy should begin to turn according to the cyclical nature of the markets.. this will hive the winner of the 2016 elections the bragging rights that they built the economy...
And don’t think that Rodney will be able to fix the economy because he won’t... The fed has baked in continued malaise with inflation for the next 4 years min.... And don’t think that the now government owned banks and industry will help.... The nationalized banks will play there stock of foreclosed homes to further suffocate and consolidate the markets... (With help from the fed). Etc.
“What it is is laying the groundwork for later challenging the results and more to the point, providing cover for whipping up dissent and riots.”
Yes, and they will use the polls to justify “Poll Tax Law” law suits because as of everyone knows (sarc) asking voters for ID is racist!
Tomorrow’s Gallup is tied @ 47%.
So you’re a journalist? BTW, it’s spelled CONSERVATIVE
“The elite media lives in the urban areas. They do not rate security. If the country goes up in flames, they & their families are going to be right in the middle of it.”
There really is a silver lining behind every dark cloud.
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how good of a turnaround artist Romney is. I know that toward the end of Reagan’s first term there was a lot of political pressure on him to intervene in the economy for perceived short term benefits, yet he resisted and continued with non-interventionist economic policy. I hope Romney is at least as good as Reagan. He certainly should understand the markets. One can hope.
LOL!!!
Does a bear **it in the woods?
what’s all that ammunition they’ve been buying for?
There is no mechanism to legalize millions of illegal aliens either. If DOJ says we want to investigate they will.
Yes, and..
Yes
The winner will be determined not by the number of votes cast, or the electoral votes, but by the electronic voting machines (that leave no paper trail) tabulated by the Geroge Soros company.
Enough said !
But there against Voter ID. Go figure.
Modern Liberalism is so full of contradictions, it should be like hitting the side of a barn...
They were thinking ahead when they stopped teaching critical thinking and logic classes years ago in schools.
If one does not understand HOW to think critically/logically or analytically, one cannot be expected to do so. And that, point for point, explains what we see in the world today. Every major issue we face is caused by a person or people who think Gandalf will appear any day now, cast a spell and solve the problem.
My favorite example was an ex-coworker who argued with me that 1+1 could equal something other than 2 depending on the situation. He now works for a Dem state pol in Penn.
Nobody really uses them.
The winner is more likely to be determined by the appearance of tens of thousands of absentee and early ballots. In selected counties the "voter participation rate" will exceed 120 percent. Those places will see Democrat victories.
This is what already happened in Madison and Milwaulkee Wisconsin. Of course the Democrat "Get-out-the-fraudulent-vote" effort was insufficient there to win statewide. Part of the reason was that Democrats tended to believe their own propaganda and ignored the very much larger group of people that they were antagonizing.
They will double their efforts next time. If that does not work the lawsuits will start on the day after the election.
Living in a bubble of protection from the media, the entertainment industry, and the academic sector allows the Democrats to make potentially decisive mistakes from which they cannot recover.
I think the main reason is TEA is continuing to lie to the pollsters (and we should revise the 10 Commandments to include that exception) ... I think the RATS really WERE caught by surprise in Nov. 2010.
I’m sure there’s some of that going on. I think they are out of ways to skew. If we are at the point (and obviusly we are) that the MSM has to go +15 weighting on pols to keep Obama in the lead, they are so far beyond deep poop that there is simply nowhere left to go.
By election day I fully expect to see +25 weighting and a media blitz excoriating anyone’s patriotism who questions it and Obama. This was their last non-violent chance and they blew it. Had they waited another decade pushing their liberal/socialism, enough old people who still think critically would have died off and the brainwashed youth from the 60s onward would have been totally coopted into the hive mentality.
But as many have said, they always overreach and they did...big time. They wanted too much too fast, elected an out and out communist who then ramrodded crap that the sheep couldn’t digest fast enough.
Which brings us to today.
YEP
No, it’s not about voter fraud, primarily, it is about creating an impression of who’s the winner ahead of time, so those wanting to go with the winner will vote for the presumed winner, and some of those others will just give up and not vote at all.
yes
Do you feel the same about Rasmussen polls? I agree about Msnbc,CBS,NBC,ABC,But Rasmussen? He has the Liar in Chief ahead in PA by 51 to 39 ! What the Hell is in the water down there?
