How come?

How come every person I talk to or hear in the media, is dead-set against republicans and the Republican party, yet they are an equal match to the Democrats and the democrats when elections are held?

You can't say it's only money. Money has a long way to buy votes. They need votes of the non-purchasable kind to win elections, which they do in about half the elections.

So... unless Democrats and democrats are notoriously more vocal, then how come that a random selection of news items or analysis items in the media, and a random selection of opinions of us "little people" whose votes make the ruling party, all yield a majority democrat and Democrat ideation, yet the Democrats are never in solid winning streaks?

In other words, who votes Republican when all or almost all I read about says that Democrat is good Republican is bad?

About half of America always votes for Republican, and half votes Democrats.

Why don't I read about more opinions of Republican public support in the media, and in places where the voice of the "little people" are heard, such as yours and mine? Votes are cast by "little people", if our opinions are reflected in our votes, how come Reps get half the votes, when so many write against REPs?

If the demographics of articles are 85% Democrat, how come the votes when tallied is only 50% Democrat?

Is the voting process rigged? I really can't get my mind unwrapped from around this dilemma. I can only explain the discrepancy by creating conspiracy theories.

My other question is (I live in Canada, am a bit ignoramous, please give me some slack): How do the Blacks vote in America? More precisely, who gets the Bible belt Baptist Black vote, and who gets the Northern typically very poor and therefore have-to-turn-to-crime ghetto populatig Blacks, those whose language is different and who created RAP? I am not being racist, I just wish to know whom they vote for. There has got to be a political demographics there, and I am not making any judgments, moral or otherwise, based on religion, wealth, social status or color of skin, I just wish to know how these two people vote by demographics. I even accept 'they don't usually vote' or 'equal proportions between Republicans and Democrats'. I am after factual knowledge, numbers, percentages; my aim is not to point out differentness.

Like look at Obama... I believe very few conspiracy theories, and the ones I believe are usually my own. I think Obama became impotent as a political leader for a reason. He was going to fight for and win the medicare, the foreign policy change, the Quantanamo Bay prisoner exchange-release-retraining program, he was going to do all those wonderful democrat things, and he slowly came to a grinding halt in all his endeavours. I am absolutely sure it was not his idea to do so. He wanted to forge ahead; but he was made to slow down and stop. Now the nation thinks he is an incompetent, impotent leader. Much of that opinion will boil down to, extremely unfortunately and extremely unfairly, to the opinion of "lazy n....". I hate this. I hate politics for this reason, for it recognizes no goodness, no fairness, no justice and therefore no god.

But back to Obama: I think they saved a bullet for him, and a nuclear war against, say, Yemen or Iraq or somewhere where the majority of the brethren of his faith live. In exchange he promised to stop forging ahead with doing all those things he hand stood for at election time.

I don't know who these people could be, the ones who stopped him. But they stopped him good. There have got to be some of them from the military, who have access to bombs. Maybe the United Jewish World Hegemonial Alliance. I don't know. (Before you call me anti-Semitic: I am Jewish, but I hate some Jews, specifically those of my people to whom Jewish is more important than peace and prosperity for ALL. What I see and what the militantly Zionists don't, is that they are busy digging the unmarked mass graves for the emaciated corpses of yet the next Holocaust. Jews got in their heads (some) that we are supposed to be the Ubermensch. Comically, but not humorously, that very thought is also th e biggest reason for all demise that happens to us in human history. Too proud, too self-aggrandizing, too rich -- too much harping about how superior we are, and trying to prove it every step of the way.)

So... How come the voices in the media, the voices on the street tell me that Democrat is good, Republican is bad; how come the votes don't reflect this; and how come the votes are not rigged.

You see, you have three facts here, and each is given, and yet the three can't logically coexist. You take one fact out and change it, then the three facts (Fact one: popular opinion support Democrats by a landslide, Fact two: votes are 50-50 between Dems and Reps, and Fact three: vote-counting is not rigged) will become logically co-explanatory. Right now the three facts, when all three are considered in a systematically observed logical system, becomes a system which yields a non-reconcilable self-contradiction.

So... SOMETHING has got to give, one of the three. I can see two with my own eyes, which can't be denied. Therefore the only thing that can't be true is the one I have not seen with my own eyes, since the other two facts are true. The one fact that has to "give", is the one that can't be readily checked by the public, and which can only believed by the public, but never proven for it: The fact that voting is not rigged.

I mean, it is a complete joke, right? That in America the votes are rigged. Haha, that is a crazy idea if I ever heard of one.

But then it must be true that more people say on the street and more articles write that Reps are good too. Yet these people and articles don't say that.

But then it must be true that people vote not according to their political conviction. It has got to be true that a lot of Americans vote in opposition to their own individual opinion of what must be done, of what is good for them individually and for America. Must be, if we accept the opinion counts, and the vote counts. Yet what voter would vote in a way, that would be the exact opposite to his or her conviction?

Since Fact 1 and Fact 1 can not be false, but only if we reduce our belief to believe in the absurd, then it must be true, that the vote counting is rigged.

Hold... who counts the votes? Which of us is familiar with the computer programs that process that massive amounts of data? And those of us who are familiar with the code of vote-counting programs, how can they be assured that the numbers are not fudged between the output of the vote counting program code, and what we see on TV screens which flash the counts of votes as they go?

I find Fact 1 and Fact 2 true, because they happen right in my face. I must accept that Fact 3 is the one that has to be changed in truth value, which means, that Fact 3 'votes are counted properly' is false, which means votes are counted improperly, and someone fudges them during the counting process.

I can’t prove directly at all that vote counts are fudged. All I can say is what I said above: that three facts that must be in harmony with each other, are not, and in fact they create a non-reconcilable self-contradiction. This can only be reconciled if one, only one of the facts is reversed in its assertion. Of the three facts only the third can be believable reversed for me in its assertion, since I see with my very own eyes that the other two facts are true, undisputably true, they can be checked by everyone in America and everyone will find they are true. So the third fact must be reversed in its assertion, and that third fact, in its present, unchanged state, asserts that vote counting and the voting system in American elections is not rigged.

Move over, South Yemen, South Africa, Pakistan and any number of developing “barbaric” budding democracies. It’s America’s turn to get the UN step in to supervise the voting.

Sleep tight, Americans. Dream pleasant dreams of the Freedom of America, of the Truth in th e fairness of Democracy, dream sweet dreams of the We, the People.

I think its more likely that media is a misrepresentation of reality most of the time as it is fueled by viewability and sponsorship.

Its the same as when we see increasing numbers of VIOLENT news stories in the media during the same time that ACTUAL violent crime is decreasing. Or how we see an increasing number of illegal immigrant stories , even though the actual incidence hasnt had a significant increase.


ITs viewership, sensationalism, controversy,,, that sells and keeps the sponsors...
