71. IMHO There Are Two People/Sides That Can Verify Whether This Is A Conspiracy Theory Or Not.........
Tue Nov 20, 2012, 10:00 AM
Nov 2012

As you say - Karl and his friends - and the other being - Anon

Anon can - if they wanted to - provide some proof that they intervened and prevented the election from being stolen - or - they can deny that the letter going around that they intervened - is from them.

I doubt that Anon would do either because either way they might risk outing themselves if they provided some proof or they would lose some fans if they said the letter was not from them. As it is now - they could bask in the illusion that they intervened even if they didn't.

I guess Rove can come clean and say that he is an evil genius but that he was just outsmarted by Anon - I doubt that he'd do that and implicate himself - or - he would cause people to think that maybe he's just not as smart as people think he is.

I suppose he can go on Fox and explain his election night meltdown better - but I doubt that he would do that because it might look like he's trying to cover something up.

So I think we're at kind of a stalemate now.

So I say - let people believe what they want to believe about this as it makes everybody happy.

Or we can hope that some interested third party - like some journalists ala Woodward and Bernstein (Watergate) - fully investigate the happenings surrounding this and come up with some answers for us.

Has anyone heard from Husted since the election? Has he made any statements or is he lying low?

I absolutely believe this! nt rainy Nov 2012 #1
