...from President Obama. See, he intentionally did badly to give "the media" and the pollsters who are "in the tank" for Romney the ability to "spread the meme" that the race is narrowing, so the republicans can "rig the voting machines" and steal all the votes in November.
To those who might dispute this analysis, I would argue that it's just as evidence-based as every other CT I've read here.

He lets them walk around thumping their chest and spreading their lies. Then he goes in to bring them down. He has done it with many republicans.

(60,334 posts)2000 - hanging chads in Florida - now we have electronic machines that can be programed to easily switch votes.
2004 - Ohio is called for Kerry, then suddenly the numbers flip flop and bu$h wins.
Now with all the voter ID laws and purging of polls, you have to look at who is in power in all the key swing states and the tricks they are pulling such as here in Ohio where polls are open different hours based on the predominance of voter affiliation.
But you go ahead and believe the system isn't crooked but when Mitt Romney is sitting in the White House next February, don't say we didn't sound the alarm.
Go right ahead and stick that tin foil hat on me, but don't blame me when this is stolen too.
I put that here for you

(5,420 posts)seems like there has been a new effort around here to discredit all of the people who know for a fact that we have no democracy in America ,as that would require an actual real vote.
It looks bad for us, they say to say things about some of the polls being pure bullshit aimed at making it look like a close election so it can easily be stolen. It makes us look bad they say, for us to try to bring attention to the way that those modulators can be easily hacked. They don't want to hear about the guy who was paid to make them that way.
It might make the republicans think bad of us or make fun of us.
fuck the republicans.
Our elections are easily hacked for a reason. No one seems to want to fix it. That must be for a reason as well. It's an obvious one.
So give me a tinfoil hat and add some antenae so I can get the best reception.
