I tried earlier, and no one wanted to believe it. Maybe now you do? *THE FIX IS IN.*
If we're afraid to call it as is, there's no chance we'll ever see democracy or a Democrat elected in this country every again. PLEASE WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES.
Here are some facts:
(1) All exit polls had Kerry ahead in in FL and OH.
(2) All Democrats were completely confident, based (I'm sure) on internal polls. Kennedy said Kerry won. He was sure. So was the DNC chair, who referred to Kerry as president-elect.
(3) Canadian TV (CTV) said it will be an early landslide (their word) for Kerry. They had inside information.
(4) Exit polls have always been correct -- until they pulled Florida away from Gore, and Bush took power by force. Since then no exit poll has ever been any good. Coincidence?
(5) In the midterm elections, the VERY SAME thing happened as tonight. Polls nationwide favored Democrats, and then the GOP won every state -- and the exit polls vanished!!! Pollsters had never been so wrong. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME MACHINES WERE USED.
(6) We all know who owns the Diebold (Diabolical) voting machines. And it ain't the Democrats.
(5) Every historical predictor pointed to a Kerry victory: the large turnout, Bush's approval ratings, the economy, and the fact that he consistently polled under 50 or even 48%. No president had ever won with such low numbers.
And then magically everything reversed itself and Bush wins. Do you guys believe this is for real?
I don't know what we can do. But at the very least I suggest:
-- Write letters to every paper and every person you know, outlining the facts above (plus everything you can add about the electronic voting machines -- lots of info out there).
-- Write Kennedy and others who KNOW Kerry had the real vote. We need them to come forward and speak out.
-- We need strategy. We can't just go and protest and be angry. It will look like we can't accept defeat. We need to get our facts and target our message. Or else forget about this country.
Ideas? Drop me a line.
