The American Ruling Class

[rickoff]

The latest Rasmussen Poll concerning voter enthusiasm very clearly demonstrates one thing - that major candidates in elections are not chosen by the people as intended, but rather are chosen by a handful of Ruling Class elites who have control over establishment politics.

Rasmussen’s most recent poll on the question of voter enthusiasm found that only 16 percent of Republicans believe Romney and Obama are the best two options to be running for president, only 35 percent will affirm excitement about the match-up and a sobering 46 percent of all voters believe they “will simply be voting for the lesser of two evils this November.”

If only 16% of Republican voters believe that Romney is the best choice for their party's presidential candidate, then how could Romney possibly have garnered enough delegates to win the GOP nomination before the GOP national convention? The answer, of course, is obvious - he didn't!
Establishment Republicans saw to it that Romney "won" those delegates in each of the state primaries despite the fact that the odds were heavily stacked against him. In states where the "winner takes all delegates" factor was involved, tabulation of primary votes was accomplished in such a way as to ensure the outcome was in Mitt's favor. And in states where delegates are chosen in proportion to the actual voting results, establishment Republicans running the show chose to employ whatever tactics were necessary to either skew the voting results in Mitt's favor, or to disallow them.

As I just recently reported, even though Maine massively supported and elected Ron Paul delegates in fair primary elections, establishment Republicans filed a complaint with the Republican Committee on Contests alleging that the Ron Paul delegates were improperly seated and should be disqualified in favor of seating establishment delegates. As I suspected, the Committee on Contests, being headed by establishment cronies, is so far refusing to allow the duly elected Ron Paul delegates and alternates to be seated at the national convention, and is also refusing to hear allegations by the Ron Paul campaign concerning the outright cheating that occurred in Louisiana, Massachusetts, and Oregon. Here's a breakdown of fraudulence claims in these states as officially stated by the Ron Paul campaign:

*** In Maine, where Ron Paul supporters held a clear majority at the State Convention, the establishment is attempting to unseat the state’s duly elected delegates and alternates – acting like sore losers in the process. The challenge to our delegates in Maine is so bogus that Republican Governor Paul LePage – who is one of the few delegates not being challenged by the establishment – has declared he will not attend the Republican National Convention unless Ron Paul's delegates and alternates who were duly elected are seated;

*** In Louisiana, establishment “big wigs” used threats, intimidation, and force – literally smashing the bones of one gentleman – to shut out Ron Paul supporters who had a clear majority at the State Convention;

*** In Oregon, the State Chairman blatantly ignored the votes of the Convention, taking it upon himself to replace the duly elected alternate delegates with an “appointed” slate chocked-full of establishment cronies;

*** In Mitt Romney’s home state of Massachusetts, corrupt Party officials changed the rules after the game was over – kicking out Ron Paul’s duly elected delegates and alternates and replacing them with their hand-picked cronies.

Still not buying into the whole individual voter fraud thing. I don't see any real significant number of cases that could ever make a difference in any election. Just another tactic to keep the 99% squabbling about scraps. Still waiting to see the actual cases our tax dollars have been working so hard to find....

While it certainly is true that individual voter fraud is not a huge factor in determining the results of elections, there does exist an enormous potential for such fraud, and when vote tallies are expected to be close you can bet your boots that organizations which promote vote fraud (such as ACORN, for example) will be using every possible tactic to help ensure their desired outcome. If you expect any study which uses taxpayer dollars, and is either carried out by a government agency or answerable to one, to produce valid results then you are fooling yourself. Eric Holder has made it very clear that he believes efforts by states to curtail vote fraud are nothing more than an attempt to disenfranchise the poor, which is of course hogwash. How could we possibly trust the DOJ to carry out a proper study of this issue, when Holder is up to his neck in deep doo-doo regarding so many DOJ abuses?

In case you missed it when it was earlier posted here, watch this video concerning vote fraud in North Carolina, just one of a great many states where fraud is not only tolerated but also encouraged.

And let's not forget that in elections where simple vote fraud is not enough to sway the results, those with access to vote counting and vote tabulation machines (as outlined in the video Hacking Democracy) can and will ensure that the Ruling Class choice becomes the "winner" regardless of the actual vote tally. A whole lot needs to be done to counter election fraud, but we are seeing very little of actions that would ensure that our votes actually count. Every effort in that direction should be embraced as a positive development, and we should demand accountability from those who oppose such efforts, no matter who they are.

CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien got into a fierce debate Tuesday with former New Hampshire governor John Sununu. Soledad had been caught reading from the liberal blog sheet Talking Points Memo during an interview the day before. When Soledad tried to pull the same stunt by misrepresenting facts gleaned from liberal blog sheets during the interview with Sununu, Sununu was quick-witted enough to fire back at her with the following exchange:

“Soledad, stop this!” he shouted. “All you’re doing is mimicking the stuff that comes out of the White House and gets repeated on the Democratic blog boards out there –”


“I’m telling you what FactCheck.com tells you,” she countered. “I’m telling you what the CBO tells you. I’m telling you what CNN’s independent analysis does.”


“Put an Obama bumper sticker on your forehead when you do this!” Sununu shot back.


I love it when leftist media pundits get smacked down on the air. Watch the smackdown here.

Audit the Fed battle moves to US Senate

Now is the time to stand behind the effort to audit the Federal Reserve, and the best way for us to do this is by signing the Audit The Fed petition to be delivered to all Senators. Go here today and sign the petition, then follow up with phone calls to your senators telling them you expect them to vote for a full audit and will be closely watching how they vote.

Yes, there is also great "potential" for extra terrestrials to land and employ their "constitution" on us as well...

No, I didn't miss that scary looking freakazoid w/ the fake mustache :-)
can you point me in the direction where there are any studies of actual individual voter fraud - of actual REAL cases?

Now you're talking! institutionalized voter fraud. This is how that draft dodging coward got into office a few years back. How else could the 1% keep the 99% shackled... We're not THAT stupid - are we...

It's a wasted effort to expend so much effort to go after a single mouse when it's the bear that is raiding the village.

I could care less if people want to spend their own time and $$$'s chasing the mouse, in the end, the bear will get what it wants if the people can't wake up.

So we are in agreement

As you must already be aware, it would be an almost impossible task to determine, in any state, the actual number of votes that were cast fraudulently. That is because in states where i.d. is not required, such as my own state of Maine, every vote that is cast carries the possibility of fraud being involved. There are statistics available, however, that do show that a large number of registered voters who cast votes in previous elections were either recently deceased, imprisoned without voting priviliges, or were not eligible to vote at the polling place because they had moved to another state. Obviously, some person or organization compiled a list of these registered but ineligible "voters" and used it to gain political advantage. One way to use this would be to offer indigents a pack of cigarettes, for example, if they would go into a polling place and state they are one of the names on the list. Another way to use this list is to simply hack into the vote counting or vote tabulating machines and alter the tally by the number of names on the list. This is the safest way to hack an election, because an investigation would show that no more people voted than were registered to vote, so no "red flag" event would be seen. The question therefore becomes whether there would be enough registered but ineligible voters to sway an election, and this could certainly be the case in states where the voting outcome is expected to be close. In Pennsylvania, for example, the list of registered voters was compared to the list of persons with valid driver licences, and there were 3/4 million more people on the registered voter list. While the majority of these discrepancies being investigated will likely be found to be cases where a registered voter simply did not have a driver license for one reason or another, what does raise a red flag is that 167,566 names on the list — over 22 percent — haven't voted since 2007. These inactive voters may be people who died, were incarcerted, or moved — thus explaining why there is no longer a corresponding valid driver's license. If that's the case, the presence of these invalid registrations offers up a sumptuous banquet to identity thieves whose criminal acts nullify the votes of legitimate voters.

In her recent appearance on Fox News, Democrat chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz only succeeded, in my opinion, in bringing attention to Barry's eligibility status by whining about a super-pac ad which encourages viewers to add their voice to an effort aimed at throwing Barry off the ballot. She used this argument to avoid answering allegations concerning tasteless political ads being run by Democrat organizations.

See and hear Debbie's whining here, as well as the content of the super-pac ad. And don't forget to add your voice to those calling for Barry to be removed from the ballot and replaced by someone who actually is constitutionally eligible. The effort aims to gain the support of 10,000 individuals from every congressional district in the US. The number to call is 1-800-617-7709.
