Where's Rodney King when we need him?
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 02:01 AM by awaysidetraveler
A 20% to 25% skew against Obama in California?

Let's reconsider what that means: for every four people you meet, one lies to you.

Oh, by the way, you meet a couple of thousand people.

Imagine a world where that's possible, and then tell me you want to live in it.

It's statistically impossible.

Burn down this house.

3. Well gee, actually it's only a 5.23% skew against Obama in the polls so far, so who cares?

6. Well, with this 16 to 20% new skew against Obama in California, it should add up to something else.
Like fire bombs or maybe something more colorful.

8. Clearly this is all due to some statistical anomoly, perhaps it's because of cell phones.
Cell phones account for a 1% difference in existing poll skew.

Well... maybe it's almost 2%.

9. Hey, don't get crazy now. Violence is not a solution, even if you are feeling uppity.

13. And with whom do you mean? The media groups that are controlling our elections?
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 02:45 AM by awaysidetraveler
Because this skew is above and beyond anything they've tried before.

Actually, I think it's reasonable to assume that they're using it like a coup.

Also, I think most people know it.

And, I think that's why no one's writing back.
They can't deal with it.

Instead of recognizing the real underground we're all forced to live within,
they'll play above board, imagining that by writing they have some power
by way of connectivity.

The reality is simpler: HRC is a liar that a fourth of the Dems won't vote for, including me;
Edwards was a better choice, but he had less of a chance than Obama did by way of his policies--not his color.

Obama is now playing one of two roles: the hero, who does not recognize the true nature of his enemy--which can only be the media; or the enabler, who does not recognize the true nature of his heroic potential--which can now only be enacted using some kind of violence.

All his followers are fucked.
