Probably the first notorious failure of polling for a presidential election was in 1936, when a magazine called The Literary Digest polled their subscribers and predicted a landslide for Governor Alf Landon of Kansas over FDR. Unfortunately their demographics were wildly wrong, as most people couldn’t even afford to subscribe. I believe the magazine folded shortly afterward.
So if the value of your vote is being watered down because those unqualified to vote are being allowed to, you're not being disenfranchised?
Well, maybe not, only Democrats can be disenfranchised. So says "the One".
Well, wouldn't *that* be a special treat?
Hmm, who's in line, succession-wise, behind ol' Nine Per Cent? < /rhetorical question... >
No one will be taking to the streets.
There will be no grand mass uprising against the State.
At most a few nutballs will pop off like fireworks and they will be crushed. These few will be used to demonize the entire movement and the fence sitters will stay home in droves.
It's happened before. Ruby Ridge. Waco. Elian. The AWB. Carl Dregga. The closing of the NFA registry. Eminent Domain being used to take private land for private developer gain. The hounding of gun owners by the BATFE and the decimation of the FFL's. The theft of this election is just another straw on an already flattened camels back.
The "excuses" and "justifications" have been in place for a generation. Still, no one does anything. They just accept the next outrage and draw their line in the sand a little further back.
Maybe once they start loading folks like me on boxcars you'll finally get off your keyboard and do what you should instead of just "talking" about it...
President-pro-tempore "Sheets" Byrd.
(An interesting notion I haven't quite decided on.)
Please, tell me how it feels to be a beaten man?
Yes, just ask the Secretary of State for Ohio. Acorn is STILL registering the dead.
Such a movement needs Leaders. We have none. Not the right type at least. All the "leaders" we do have are telling us to work within a broken system or trying to convince us to not over react.
That isn't "leadership", that's perpetuating the problem...
And Carter stole it from Ford. Both Ford and Nixon took the high road “for the good of the country”. Why is it that it’s always the republicans who back down “for the good of the country?” I know the answer.
Did anyone notice in the article it points out that both are breaking the law. Dems with phony registrations and repups with “disenfranchisement”.
Tell us, how does it feel to sit there mouthing angry words and platitudes instead of leading by example?
RE: “The first stolen election in my memory was the Kennedy theft from Nixon. Thanks to the corruption in Chicago!!!”
**********
Yep!!! Absolutely — 1960, I was 11 but remember it well. My Chicago born parents couldn’t stop complaining about the corruption in Cook County (Chicago), Illinois.
Things are far far worse now! And the corruption is ALWAYS on the left.
RE: “It must be made abundantly clear, riots and civil unrest are not the exclusive domain of the “obama demographic”
“I agree.”
****************
I agree as well. Are we up for this upcoming battle? We had better be!
Good day.
It applies to all of us. Everyone's survival chances are reduced to zero over a long enough timeline.
Good luck...
President Pro Tem of the Senate.
“If anything we need to decentralize more...”
Agreed. Hope the immature sarcasm in my earlier post was evident...
Any attempt to certify that a voter is legitimate is racist racist racist.
If a police car is seen within ten blocks of the voting precinct that’s racist too..
I have a great book on Richard Nixon.
He mentions that during his campaign against Kennedy they were both given national security briefings that were CLASSIFIED.
Kennedy immediately went out and misrepresented what he had been told. Nixon felt that it would violate his promise not to discuss the briefing and was left allowing the lie to persist.
Kennedy was always a charlatan. Handsome and charismatic covered a weak character, inherited in his genes.
