The funny thing… today’s tracking poll at unskewed has Obama at 51% to Romney’s 47. http://unskewedpolls.com/dtp_20121001.cfm Take that, left wing media!

There was also the story that came out around 2003 about how the Diebold machines in one Florida county–I think Broward–registered -12,000 votes for Gore. That’s a – as in negative. Diebold didn’t even deny it; their spokesman simply said they didn’t view it as a problem. (Of course they didn’t.)

But of course the polls are wrong.

I agree with Jon & Sandy….Even using their outrageous Jim Crow laws to suppress the votes from poor and older Americans, it seems the Rom and the Rom-zealots cannot get out ahead on this race. Wow! Even when using dirty tricks, they still cannot get an edge. What’s with these people?

Quote of the week and I love it!!!: “Just another example of how the “Information Superhighway” is — in reality — just the “misinformation cowpath.”” (left out the last sentence…it’s redundant…because it’s assumed that you’ll step in a lot of @#$%* when walking such a path.)

When I got involved in politics I used to tell folks how lucky we were to live in a nation where voting would never be slanted and even our leaders worked for better registration and voting laws making it possible for everyone to get a ballot and bring it to the polling places or even mail it in.

The rabid right has tried to destroy the ease of registering and voting and I blame it on the control given by the Republican Party to the religious right. I look at many nations who have to vote for the party in charge or face a bullet until they do. The elections in South America have been a farce for years.

Today in America we have seen careful evaluations regarding certain districts in many States where the registration lists are being blacked out if those folks are Democrats. They target those areas that are heavily seniors, minorities or even where students live and vote.

I remember Florida in 2000 where the lists removed voters who had felony histories and the lists were horribly inaccurate. How many times did they have to count again until a win for Bush still wasn’t assured. It took the Supreme Court to make the decision.

With the GOP on the war path in 2012. it will be interesting to see how this election will go.

“… and suppress your vote”. Sure, if you’re a member of a poor minority, I guess that is what they are trying to do.
