Defending RFK Jr. - Channeling TruthIsAll About Democracy & Democrats |

Edited on Fri Aug-04-06 09:44 PM by autorank
(Ed. Note: IT'S ALL ABOUT ***POLITICS*** RFK JR. MADE THOSE WHO WORKED FOR KERRY IN 2004 PROUD, PARTICULARLY THE OHIO DEMOCRATS. WHY? BECASUE HE TOLD THE TRUTH. KERRY WON, THE POLITICAL PROCESS WAS FOILED. DENYING ELECTION FRAUD NOW IS LIKE DENYING GLOBAL WARMING: THE HEIGHT OF ABSURDITY AND “FAITH-BASED” LOGIC. LYING ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING, LYING ABOUT WMD, LYING ABOUT HEALTH POLICY, LYING ABOUT STEM CELL RESEARCH, LYING ABOUT NEW ORLEANS, LYING ABOUT EVERYTHING…WHENEVER THEIR LIPS MOVE, THEY LIE. THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THE REPUBLICANS WON THE PRESIDENCY IN 2004 AND WE KNOW THEY LOST IN 2000! AND NOW, TIA’S REPONSE TO RFK JRS NASTIEST CRITIC, FARHAD MANJOO OF SALON.COM (a “leftist” journal;) -------------------------------------------- Dear Farhad: http://dir.salon.com/story/news/feature/2005/06/15/exit_polls/index.html He links to my DU posts in his June 15, 2005 article. Click on"all aflame". "No Exit" - A persuasive new theory explains why Kerry beat Bush in Election Day exit polls. Just don't expect those still crying "fraud" to believe it. "Exit poll results were just one item in a long bill of election-fraud particulars that folks began passing around in the aftermath of the election. But over the past seven months, the exits have proved more enduring to the election-was-stolen movement than many of the other early indicators of fraud. Lefty bastions like Democratic Underground ***are aflame*** with discussions purporting to prove how the exits show Bush didn't really win." I should have responded to "No Exit" a year ago. But since you have continued your crusade against the "fraudsters" with your thrashing of RFK's Rolling Stone article, now it's my turn. The pathetic rebuttal to RFK came exactly one year after your "No Exit" propaganda piece in which you provided a link to my posts on DU. It's apparent to many experts that your analysis is wanting. You say that an "amateur mathematician" proved Ron Baiman, Kathy Dopp, Steve Freeman, myself and other analysts wrong. Really? On DU, we won every online debate with all comers. Baiman and Freeman, both PHDs, have had extensive, real world analytical experience. Dopp has a masters degree in mathematics. Their expertise is reflected in the quality of their published work on the Stolen Election. I'm NOT an amateur mathematician. I have two MS degrees in applied mathematics and have been developing financial, investment and engineering models long before you were born. What are YOUR academic credentials? What makes you an expert in polling analysis? Manjoo, I've got news for you; rBr is dead. You call the Reluctant Bush Responder theory persuasive, but it was debunked before you even wrote "No Exit". In July 2005 my Exit Poll Response Optimizer confirmed the USCV simulation model. Are you aware that over 3 million votes (the great majority Democratic) are spoiled and never counted in every election? In 2004, 3.6mm votes were lost - just check the Census. I'm sure you would agree that Bush stole the 2000 election, despite having lost by 540,000 votes, 51-50.5mm. Add 75% of the 3 million spoiled votes to Gore and it's clear that he actually won by 2 million. In 2004, the Bush recorded win was 62-59 million. Where did he gain over 13 million new votes (1.75mm Bush 2000 voters died before 2004) to go from 49mm to 62mm? Kerry won between 54% to 61% of those who did not vote in 2000 (depending on the exit poll timeline) and over 70% of 3 million Nader voters. According to the Final National Exit poll, 43% of the 122.3 million who voted in 2004 were Bush 2000 voters. But 43% of 122.3 is 52.57 million. And since Bush only got 50.5mm votes in 2000, of whom about 1.75mm died, only 48.7mm (39.8%) could have returned to vote in 2004. The 43% NEP weighting was mathematically impossible. The Bush vote was inflated by 4 million. You claim that your "expert" sources debunked USCV and the "fraudsters". No, they have not. And they are still trying to spread the fiction that exit polls are bogus; that is, except for the Final National Exit Poll and state exit polls (which were matched to the vote) after most CNN voters went to sleep, thinking that Kerry won. But I have just shown you that the Final Poll at 1:25pm on Nov.3 is mathematically impossible and that the earlier 12:22am numbers are close to the truth. Well, not everyone went to sleep early. Jonathan Simon stayed up long enough to spot and download the 12:22am state exit polls. The Washington Post chose not to delete the corresponding National Exit Poll (13047 respondents at 12:22am) which showed Kerry as the 51-48% winner. We also have the earlier NEP timelines at 4pm and 7:30pm which established the 51-48% Kerry trend. He held the lead until the Final National Exit Poll (13660 respondents) at 1:25pm on Nov.3, when the numbers magically reverted to a 51-48% Bush win. The numbers (weights and vote shares) were revised to match the vote. And the weights have been shown to be mathematically impossible - unless you believe that 4 million Bush voters were reincarnated. Simple logic tells us that if the bogus Final overstated the Bush vote by at least 4 million, then the Bush recorded vote had to be overstated by at least 4 million. If you read my related postings, you would already know this. But since you never mentioned them in your article, one can assume that a) you never read the posts, or b) you read them but chose not to discuss them. Here is who you are up against: RFK Jr., Howard Dean, John Conyers, Mark Miller, Greg Palast, Robert Koehler, Michael Keefer, Thom Hartmann, Jim Lampley, Greg Palast, Bob Herbert, Steve Freeman, Kathy Dopp, Wayne Madsen, Ron Baiman, pollsters Harris and Zogby. Over 50% of voters believe that the election was stolen - and the percentage is growing daily. In fact, the cable networks (except for the FOX propaganda machine) ran polls which showed that a majority of viewers believe Bush stole it: http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0605/S00200.htm Of course, we still have spineless Democratic politicians who dare not call it "fraud". And that includes wannabee Al Franken. Well, at least Mike Malloy and Randi Rhodes talk about the stolen election. Unlike Al, they have no plans to run for office. Just curious. What is your math background? Specifically, statistical voting trends, polling mathematics, probability theory, Monte Carlo simulation? If you can't follow the logic or math in my posts, just download the Interactive Election and Monte Carlo polling simulation models. Do you have Excel? Or do you still use a hand calculator? Here's an intro to polling simulation and statistics. http://www.geocities.com/electionmodel/TruthIsAllPollingSimulation.mht Link to my postings and models at: http://www.truthisall.net View my recent postings here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x413198 http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=2385147 I suggest you read the "clincher" thread in which your pet theory was thoroughly debunked. Kerry wins all plausible scenarios of 2000 voter turnout in 2004, assuming constant 100% Bush voter turnout and declining Gore voter turnout (from 100% to 70%) over a range of NEP Kerry vote shares (51-60%) of those who did not vote in 2000. THE CLINCHER http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x379573 As far as the "false Gore voter recall" hypothesis is concerned, I suggest you read the "game" thread. His implausible explanation to account for the 3 million Bush "victory" margin (that 1 out of 6 Gore voters defected to Bush in 2004, but only 1 of 16 Bush voters defected to Kerry) is beyond the pale of common sense. But that's his last arrow. His case is in the "final throes", reduced to a totally implausible hypothesis. THE GAME http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x390193 Finally, I suggest you include this analysis, among others, in your next piece: __________________________________________________________________ Edited by TruthIsAll on Sat Feb-11-06 12:12 AM Considering that Gore won in 2000 by over 540,000 votes, and that 1) Kerry won a majority of new voters (57-41%) and 2) a majority of Nader voters (71-21%) and 3) less than 49.2mm Gore and 48.7mm Bush voters turned out in 2004, then the discussion should end right here because... Assuming a 95% turnout of Gore and Bush voters, then Bush needed 19.5% OF GORE VOTERS TO WIN BY 3 MILLION VOTES. AT THE NATIONAL EXIT POLL 12:28AM TIMELINE, HE WON JUST 8%. ARE WE EXPECTED TO BELIEVE THAT ALMOST ONE OUT OF FIVE GORE VOTERS DECIDED TO FORGIVE BUSH FOR STEALING ELECTION 2000? OK, FORGIVE. BUT VOTE FOR HIM? Quere mas? ___________________________________________________________ If we assume a 2% MoE, the probability is LESS THAN ONE IN 1.5 QUADRILLION THAT BUSH WOULD GET 16% OF GORE VOTERS! PROB = 1- NORMDIST(0.16,0..08,0.01,TRUE) or 1 in 1,501,199,875,790,170 And that's assuming 16% of Gore voters switching to Bush in 2004. I tried to compute the probability that 19% of Gore voters would switch, but...THE NORMDIST FUNCTION COULD NOT PERFORM THE CALCULATION. IT GENERATED A DIVISION BY ZERO ERROR. THE PROBABILITY IS AT THE VANISHING POINT! Quere mas? _____________________________________________________________ 12:22am (13047 respondents) Assume 95% turnout of Gore and Bush voters. WHAT BUSH NEEDED TO WIN BY 3 MILLION VOTES...19.5% of Gore voters!

But next time, be sure to discuss the CONTENTS of the links mentioned above- and not just point to them. TRUTH IS ALL |
