Obama looked stunned he had to show up for the charade of the first debate... Then Candy helped him the second time... What ME? Moi?

Why bother with debates, crowds, posters, bumper stickers. His buds in the ghetto were stealing the election for him - what's to worry about? The same folks who didn't bother to go to a rally - even with a free concert - ALL show up to vote? 100% in some precincts? Lucky that dems have their big brother the MSM to rough up the unbelievers...

On another thread is a discussion about outcome-based granting of jobs to minorities regardless of merit.

That's what happened here. I believe Romney ran an honest presidential election: he had policy positions, he had rallies, he went to debates. This effort on his (and his campaign staff's and supporters') part assumed a response of effort on the voters' part: they would voluntarily show up at the polls and vote for him.

Not so with BO and his campaign. Why expend the effort if the outcome is guaranteed? This explains the baffling lack of crowds at rallies, the lack of bumper stickers and yard signs, the lackluster debate performance. He phoned it in. Some people here said "the fix is in." BO's campaign staff told him, "Don't worry, we know how many votes you need, we'll deliver them. And we'll make it look plausible, too."

Check out the tech culture Web sites and see if you find any discussion of electronic vote fraud or voting technology. The tech culture is generally very left and very mercenary. At its most conservative, it is libertarian in nature. It is always mercenary and for sale to the highest bidder. Someone gave me a link to the video about the programmer who wrote code to make electronic voting machines generate a guarantee outcome (2004 elections, in Ohio). How on earth do people believe that the leopard has changed his spots in eight years? These people are still around and are still for sale. If it can be done from a keyboard, coooool. They're all in.

You're right on this codont - we all live in Detroit now. And we'd better start acting like it. Republicans are fighting by Queensbury Rules, while dems are fighting by Chicago gang banger rules - 10 thugs kicking an unarmed person in the groin. Our side needs to grow up and and get real.
