by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny The race is close, very close, with the momentum shifting to Romney. However, my take is the shift, as significant as it has been, came too late and too little. Progressives no doubt are biting their nails because as much as they prefer not to acknowledge it, this one is a real cliff hanger. Reminiscent of 2000. It is true if Obama loses this one progressives throughout the land will be wailing and gnashing their teeth. For them it will be a great undoing of their greatest hopes and dreams. Of course the other fifty percent of America will view it quite differently. So, as the polls close tomorrow, and the tabulating of the vote goes late into the night, we can be sure of a few thing... The nation will remain polarized, the puppet masters behind the curtains will continue calling the shots, the debt and deficits will continue, no mater who wins. And America will continue to ask why. Tomorrow, as I visit my polli
Here in Idaho, we are being urged to vote absentee ballot.
ReplyDeleteThe counties cannot staff the voting places as the usual elderly
ladies that handle voting by precinct won't work their usual
15 hour day with hundreds of voters around. Bernie Sanders is worried
that the count delay from mail votes will result in early votes for
Trump, who will announced he won and any more ballots in the system
are void. Pretty blatant, but possible. Then what?
I honestly have no idea on the then what question. I only know for sure one thing. I do not trust trump one iota. I believe he is actually trying to destroy the very foundations upon which our democratic republic is and has always been anchored to. IMHO trump admires authoritarian dictators and is desirous of being one himself.
DeleteI have no doubt but what trump is orchestrating his challenge to the outcome of the election should he lose as I am typing this. Even if trump loses by a huge margin. He is simply is incapable of grasping the truth. Nor does he care about the truth either.
It is going to be a quite new experience I'm sure. I fully anticipate violence from trump's extreme rightwing base.
For years the PRI Party of Mexico had a tried and true method of maintaining control over the country. Besides the everyday vote buying they regularly announced the winner of the presidential election on election night at 7pm. Regardless of the vote count. This had the effect of stifling opposition vote and getting their interpretation of the election results in the public square first.
ReplyDeleteI am with RN, I do not trust Pres Trump to do what is right for our country. He's a true believer in the fantasy that since he is the only solution to saving America, whatever he does to win is justified. In his mind and the minds of his supporters, the Dems have cheated in politics since Watergate and he is just working to level the field and giving the Dems a dose of their own medicine. See any of Franco/Freethinke's diatribes on the subject to understand this mindset.
He's gonna call himself the winner early. Wait for it. Then instead of the country together watching the results come in, the country will be waiting for an election to be stolen. Unless Biden can win Florida, early, it's gonna be a mess.
There are people who examine
ReplyDeletethe various election result scenarios. IMO, much depends on how much distance there is in the vote count. Given that Trump still whines about losing the popular vote by almost 3 million, calling it voter fraud, a sore winner has got
to be an enraged loser. We ponder if it gets so ludicrous and dangerous, a tipping point might occur in the GOP led
Senate-probably the best thing for the country.
