Since Bush's first installation, EVERY race is a 50/50 horse race. Hmm.

[Atman]

Between Obama and Clinton -- 50/50. Between Obama and McCain -- 50/50. Between Clinton and McCain -- 50/50. No matter what the scererio, every major political race in the country comes down to roughly 50/50, this according to the very press who shut down their polling consortium after the 2000 selection because it was so "unreliable." But they're still polling, and now EVERYTHING is a near 50/50 horse race.

The American people are being sooooo played. The only reason every race is 50/50 is the same reason we never know who will be the next one voted off the island, or who the biggest loser is, or whatever...ratings. If they can manipulate the bullshit enough, we'll keep watching because it's soooooo exciting, such a nail-biter.

As if there was any room for doubt, we've just found out that all -- yes, ALL -- the military analysts to whom the media have been giving forum, have been "in on it" since day one. Everything, EVERY FUCKING THING they tell us, with the possible exception of the state of Britney's pubes or Lindsey's driving record (and I'm not even sure about those two) is a carefully calculated LIE my the giant corporations whose only, literally ONLY obligation, is to provide dividends to their shareholders.

2. All races being presented as "50/50" also make stolen elections more plausible. nt

4. Also since the Bush Era the exit polls are no longer reliable

So we have 50/50 elections and no means to verify the results....HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!!
