Is the perception of a neck and neck race another myth?Created

by Karl Rove to enable him and his enablers to fix the elections in crucial states?

1. I've thought so for quite some time now.

When something gets repeated as much as this "neck and neck", "tight race" stuff has, I automatically get suspicious. I don't believe any of the polls that have been coming out.

2. Yes

1. minimize the "surprise" of a bush "win"
2. Keep the hype going and convince everyone that it really is very close.

3. Yep, I agree.

Make it sound close & so when you tamper with the election no one questions the fixed results. Lying, prevaricating a-holes.

5. Yup - my biggest fear. eom

4. Polling fraud MUST precede Vote Fraud or we'd get suspicious.

6. Not all polls will be fixed - but some will...

and that, in combination with media control, helps to make the "neck and neck race" plausible. Indeed, as most people tend to be followers (as opposed to leaders) the more the message is repeated, the truer it becomes.

7. Absolutely...if the truth were told by the polls...

..then *'s second stolen election would be too obvious. Keep it close, and then steal it.

I would put nothing past these sneaky bastards after seeing what they did (and continue to do) in Florida.

What they weren't counting on was the war in Iraq to go so badly....as well as the downturn in the economy.

I still think we're in with a good shot at winning this thing, and winning it big..you can force people to take happy pills and blow smoke up people's arses as much as you want, people KNOW if they have a job or not, and people KNOW if they are better off or not...

It's the economy, stupid.....AGAIN!
