It is because we have been delegates, precinct chairmen, state representatives/assembleymen, state senators, county officers, municipal officers, and more that we have experienced the problems of massive vote fraud. Pretending the problem can be overcome by just trying harder to get more votes reaches a point where it become irrational and perpetually self-defeating. This is amply demonstrated by the way in which the McCain Campaign did nothing to officially challenge a number of massive cases of vote fraud during the 2008 Election. Physchiatric physicians often diagonose a mental disorder by observing a patient who fails to recognize that doing the wrong act over and over again results in failure, like walking into the same closed door over and over again. The mentally healthy to do is to recognize the problem, adapt, and overcome. Ignoring the problem does not make it go away, not even for the sake of good morale and getting out the vote. On the contrary, getting out the vote is far more successful when the voter perceives doing so can be expected to produce the desired results.
Making effective change certainly does require securing votes for the legislatures, county offices, and municipal officers. But it also going to require sheriffs intent upon enforcing Constitutional eligibility of Presidential candidates. It is going to require state prosecutors and state representatives who will not countenance unconstitutional acts of the state and Federal governments. Getting out the vote for another Arlen Specter, Orin Hatch, Lugar, Romney, and so forth is a perfect way of NOT getting out the vote. The stench gets so bad, it can no longer be swept underneath a table nor served as a helping of crow atop the table. Their are Constitutional alternatives, but the naysayers are going to have to go back to the fundamentals and get over the idea that participation in illegitimate elections is an effective or solitary means of rectifying the problem.
AMEN. Best thing said about this entire subject on myriad threads.
