This is my first vanity piece, so let me know if I did something wrong.
Republicans seem to think they will sweep the upcoming elections. I disagree. I tend to think any Republican candidate that does not have a MINIMUM 5 point lead on their Democratic challenger by Tuesday, will lose.
I say this because Democrats have this huge apparatus in place to facilitate voter fraud, intimidation and outright manipulation and Republicans need an average 5 points and that is a conservative estimate, (probably needs to be higher) to help overcome these deficiencies.
If you don't believe me, just look at the Coleman/Franken race if you want proof. Not only that, how do you think that a nation that is overwhelmingly right of center politically has a far left Government? How does a center right nation have so many Democrats in power that want far left policies even with the current economic status? Democratic supporters have openly stated that they have to do whatever it takes to retain power. What do folks think they mean when they say things like that?
Felons will vote, illegals will vote, pets will vote, the dead will vote. There will be intimidation at polling places and handouts to manipulate the naive and we have unions maintaining the voting equipment and that is just the tip of the iceburg.
I've been wrong before, probably will be again. However, never underestimate the Democratic Party. As Stalin once said: "power lies not in those who cast the votes, but in those who count the votes."
>> pets will vote
My dog votes exactly the way I tell him to!
They will do anything to win. Al Gore fought tooth and nail to win Florida. I don’t believe that damaged our voting process. It made us stronger.
Since then, voter fraud has only grown. And with the advent of electronic voting machines, this is going to be a bigger problem. The Black Panthers have shown us the the DOJ will not stand up for voters rights. The government just this week fought in court against Arizonia’s provision that a voter must prove they are a citizen before they can register to vote... Sandra Day O’Conner gave the ruling!
We have an uphill battle against us every time we go to the ballot. We cannot be complacent, ever. We are losing precious right to vote. Without it, we are no longer citizens.
The voting turnout will be too large for voter fraud to happen. Plus most Democrats are going to stay home who is liberal or radical left is going to stay home so depressed are they.
Plus the growth of the tea party movement has been a bonus.
I have had a tendency to believe this also...any close race will be stolen by the dems....we have to win each one big or we will lose some that we really won...pesidency’s have been stolen by the the dems. Nixon/Kennedy. The republican better have a lot of lawyers, and good ones at that...lots of smart poll watchers or the wins we get will not be the win’s we got...
This time around though, there will be LESS tolerance for Dem shananigans, not just because of larger turnout, but better watching of the voting polls.
