Yep, they are planning another election theft...
More than one dumb tv pundit was saying this week that people are embarrassed to say that they are racists for Hillary, so they say they are going to vote for Barack to the exit pollsters, then in the privacy of the voting booth they sneakily vote for Hillary. Listen, have you ever heard anyone act embarrassed to say they are for Clinton or Obama? never happen. They are setting us up for another theft. In 2000/1004 they said the exit polls didn't work because men are too mportant/busy/intelligent to speak to a pollster, so it was the women who seemed to be voting for Gore/Kerry, and the men were underrepresented (the manly *bush voters).

1. NOT THIS TIME
Stolen elections only work when it is close.

This one won't be close.

4. Repeat of 1932?
You have to remember that in the 1932 election, Hoover still got 37% of the vote. There were still that many people who thought that the same old thing was preferable to "change".

That said, it's pretty hard to put a thumb on the scale and offset an almost 2 to 1 advantage. It will be important in this election to not give up, to go for the BIG win and not just try to squeak by. I'm glad Obama is planning a 50 state campaign; Hillary is planning to just squeak by the nomination and just squeak by in the general election, not a plan for success.

2. You bet they are. It's they're only hope -- they can't win this year.
Save some energy to help with election protection. We're going to need all hands on deck.

3. It's the general election they are going to steal -- and it will be reasonably
close and easy to steal.

The corporate mass media already has the cover-up ready. "When it came down to casting a vote, Americans weren't ready for an African American" or
"a woman", as the case may be, to be President of the United States.

Why didn't our "leaders", including Clinton and Obama, do anything at all to address the past two stolen elections? The stakes are high. Powerful people are facing disgrace and jail-time. And we are to believe the general election won't be stolen?

5. I think the "powers" are meddling in the primaries, because Clinton is getting
more votes than likely, according to the polls.

7. That's why the corprat media's overlords wanted this "historical" election.
So they could use just the excuses you've stated. We have been played! Well some of us have, anyway.

6. voting is private, why tell the pollsters?
We have all seen how wrong the exit polls are, voters are clearly saying how they vote is no ones business


I agree

10. and the primary going on and on and on
is the distraction that is part of the set up

they have to have a damaged candidate to oppose in the GE and all of this negative campaigning so they can say "guess the people just got tired of it"

primary fatigue is part of the plan but it also keeps our party focused on the primary and not what awaits us in the GE.

The DNC can't look to what may come with regards to the voting irregularities in the GE because they are too busy trying to deal with the fires in the primary
