It is merely your BELIEF that the race is being rigged. Conspiracy mongering is not new to this forum to say the least.
In all reality, it is a more simple as well as difficult problem for us. And that is, the fact the the average American is simply ignorant and is easily swayed by a collective mindset.
In 2008, when the Conservative base was busy squabbling over the purest candidates, McCain slipped in through the back door. The MSM had absolutely nothing to do with it.
Nobody “picked” our candidate for us, we simply were too fragmented and could not agree on much of anything when it mattered.
We were fragmented by disorganization and deceit.
The deceit came from the RINO’s and their phony conservative image candidates designed to allow McCain to win.
The deception is also our own fault because we wanted to be deceived and believe that the phony candidates were real and authentic conservatives.
The RINO’s have tugged at and manipulated our emotions with phony conservative candidates forever.
I’m over taking their bait and will not be hustled by all the hoopla over Santorum, Bachmann, Perry etc.
Is Sarah Palin perfect or Ron Paul the greatest? No, but they are feared by political insiders who want to crush any grassroots support for them.
The Paulistas have plenty of experience fighting ground wars in caucuses with the establishment.
The insiders don’t want to fight a muddy dirty campaign against Palin or Paul, so they have to come up with imitation candidates to grab the grassroots.
