WHEN IS A WIN JUST A TIE?


Thursday 1-19-12


When the GOP says it is, you peons! Now shut the hell up and vote so we can perpetuate this fraud we call democratic, free and fair elections.

Back on January 3rd, there was a farce called the Iowa Primary. At the end of the day, Mitt was declared the winner as he was credited with 8 votes more than the nearest challenger, Rick Santorum. Of course we had to wait a couple of days as the hunt was on for more ballots, but eventually they were able to produce the 8 votes that allegedly put Mitt over the top.

Good old Mitt took his victory lap and Santorum gave his concession speech and life went on. Never mind the fact there were questions even back then as to the actual vote count. We were told in all likelihood there would be changes to the actual vote once everything was calculated for certification in a couple of weeks.

There were no headlines screaming “It’s a Tie” back then. No…no, Mitt had a BIG win which lead him to the “historical” win in New Hampshire a week later. Yeah, Mitt “won” both Iowa and New Hampshire so the other candidates might as well quit and allow Mitt to be crowned as the “Republican” nominee for President. This was an absolute “historical” moment in American politics -- if you care to believe the lying, communist Enemedia -- and by God no one was going to steal it from them! All this clamor after only 121,000 in Iowa and 248,000 in New Hampshire have had an opportunity to cast their vote. We the People have been excoriated and candidates have been “urged” to drop out and face the writing on the wall … Mitt Romney WILL BE the Republican candidate for president in 2012 and all you little people will NOT stop us.

Uh-oh…what have we here? Back the truck up! After two weeks of recounts -- with eight missing precincts never to be seen again -- the official vote count being submitted for certification shows Rick Santorum actually won the Iowa Caucus Primary by more than four times the number of votes Mitt had at the time … which sent the GOP Establishment and the Enemedia into euphoric fits of ecstasy for the past two plus weeks.

Now I want to see 100s of headlines touting the fantastic win by underdog Rick
Santorum! I want to see Mitt come out and give his Iowa concession speech and congratulate Rick Santorum on his fine win. I want to hear the GOP establishment say … never mind … I want the GOP Elitists to simply shut the hell up!!!

SCANNING THE HEADLINES


SCANNING THE HEADLINES

Monday, January 16, 2012



As is my morning routine, I fired up the computer, trotted off to pour my first cup of coffee and sat down to read about the abominations being committed in our new Obamanation. With all the atrocities being committed by the current regime, and their resultant effects on our nation, one would think there would be plenty of discussion coupled with ideas to end – if not slow
down – the destruction of the country.

What did I find instead?

Climbing Out of the Doldrums


Not being a fan of Mitt Romney to begin with, his campaign "susupension" of February 8th, had little affect on me. However, his campaign "withdrawal" and endorsement of McCain had a more pronounced reaction.

As I have said previously, I have been disenfranchised this election. Millions of Americans have been disenfranchised, but no one seems to be bothered by it. Nor does anyone appear to be inclined to DO something about it.

The constant refrains ringing through the air are disturbing, to say the least.
To say; "we have no choice" or "our only choice is mccain or a rat" and my favorite - "the people voted" and gave us mccain.

Is this the way the founders of our country and the framers of the constitution intended for us to survive? Unless I misunderstand, the power of the government is granted by the people, not the other way around.

After only seven states had an opportunity to cast a vote or register their preference, as was the case in Wyoming, mccain was declared the front runner. Never mind the fact he had only "won" 3 of those 7 states with 37, 33 and 36% respectively and came in second in one contest with 29%. Meanwhile, Romney had also won 3 of those 7 states with 57, 38 and 51% and came in second in three states with 25, 31 and 31%. Oh hell, let's add the last of the states before "super Tuesday" and do the math. Romney won Maine with 52% of the vote, followed by mccain with 21% and Paul with 18%.

McCain had garnered a measly 25% of the vote from only 7 states when he was declared the so-called front runner. This was simply greasing the wheels for the mind-numbed idiots to vote for him a few days later giving him the nomination.
