I read something this morning I won’t even bother linking back to because it was such bull it wasn’t worth the 3 minutes of my time it actually took to read.
If you haven’t already watched IT.tv Episode 52, go back and do it. I’ll post it below for your easy reference.
Keeping that video in mind, I saw a little ditty on the interwebs this morning that pointed out, yet again, that John Kerry had the election in 2004 stolen out from under him; as if there was some mass collusion that could accomplish such an off-the-wall result.
What doesn’t make sense, and makes even less sense in the year 2008, is that the Republicans didn’t steal another election. Wait, what?
Think about. In 2004, there wasn’t a single poll that didn’t have George W. Bush ahead of the absolutely inept John Kerry, many of those polls well outside the margin of error. The only shock in 2004 would’ve been if Kerry had actually pulled off an election win; honestly, that probably would’ve triggered some questioning of whether or not the machines were rigged.
It didn’t happen. In spite of all the claims of fraud out of Ohio, no fraud was ever found.
In 2008, using the same voting machines that were going to fail and ruin democracy and destroy our government, the Democrats went into November with a healthy lead. John McCain wasn’t just an underdog, he was the pre-determined loser, in some polls by double-digits. If there was ever a time when the Republicans would need to steal an election, it was 2008, and yet here we are in 2009 with the first Democrat President in 8 years, the first black President ever, and the first Democrat majority in all branches of the government and governorships since the early 80′s.
And none of this is surprising!
So ask yourself… If you knew… Going into an election… That you were the odds on favorite to get your ass kicked… And that you had the ability to steal elections because you had successfully done it in the past, wouldn’t you do it if you could?
Just seems to me like stealing an election you’re probably going to win anyway isn’t a great plan, while not stealing one you’re going to lose is downright silly.
But that involves the employment of logic, I guess.
