White House political head honcho Karl Rove was interviewed by National Public Radio yesterday. He effectively announced plans to steal the coming elections. The polls point decisively to a Democratic majority in the House, and possibly in the Senate. Yet Rove told NPR he was certain of Republican majorities in both houses, and gave laughable reasons for his claim. Rove had no actual evidence to point to. more at the link.

1. Baloney. Rethugs pay for polling, but their results don't mean it's so.

Rove has to spin; can you ever in your wildest dreams imagine he might fail? He can't either. There goes his credibility if that happens, so there's no way he's going there.

4. Yeah, that darn "reality based community" might mess things up for him.

[stopbush]

5. And the guys they're paying to do the polls probably tell 'em

what they want to hear.

13. Not a matter of polling; switching & manipulation swung millions in 2004

2. That was the way I took it too.

And who "allows" him to see the polls we don't?

Who isn't watching at least 68 polls?

How can it be "the" math if he's the only one aware of it?

3. The bullshitter is about to lose. He's fucked & he knows he's fucked.

It's like asking a guy on death row if he's innocent.

6. I think everyine should remain sober. Eight days.

They and others keep referring to things coming down to 72 hours before the election and five days of possible chaos after the election.

I think they've told us what to expect.

They desparately need to win this election to cover up their crimes and commit more. The appetite for profit and control is not satiated. They need to cover up their crimes or delay revelations of their crimes.

They will try every kind of theft possible to make it harder to detect. Everyone is expecting what they did in 2000,2002, and 2004. Pre, day of vote, and after. This time they are going to create chaos.

Then as the theft results come in, the nation will be totally confused. A shoe in nominee in one race will lose because of a certain kind of theft. Another near by or acorss the country will lose because of another kind of theft. As the stories come in - right wing networks WILL NOT try to unravel it - they will throw up their hands and averyone on the internet will be trying to figure it out. Rovians will make declarations in many races. They will dictate.

They are going to pull some emergency on top of it.

How far are the ships from Iran? Will there be a stock market crash - terrorist related?

They are not going to play straigt. They DO NOT believe in sportsmanship and let the vote go to obvious winners. They like losers and winners and will fight like hell for their losers.

Yes, it's time to be sober and brace yourself.

Name one way they will go silently and honestly out of power. I challenge you.

72 hours before and five days of chaos following. The courts may play a role again.

7. Who's talking who into what?

And we are desperate to win, too, but for different reasons.

[madmusic]

8. Fuzzy math! That's good. That's real good.

Didn't the lame duck coin that?

Election night, 2004

Early exit polls quoted by media seemed to give Mr Kerry the edge, but colleagues said Mr Rove indicated right away that they did not tally with his information.
He used his own data to put Ohio and Florida in the Bush column - bringing cheers from the president and his family when he went into the Roosevelt Room and told them

10. don't underestimate this criminal

he got away with stealing 3 elections, what makes you guys think he's not getting away with stealing the 4th?

again, I sense sad innocence on DU.

[The Count]

11. Precisely. Why stop now?

I don't think there's any "genius" in ruthlessness, but not having to worry about a conscience or laws coupled unlimited funding and power does offer one a distinct advantage.
It would behoove us to plan for the eventuality.
We all go vote no question about this part - but what would we do the next day whe MSM is going to tell us how the love of W eventially overcame all and W will crow about yet another accountability moment passed, and the referendum on war & taxes being won by him?

12. Running on fumes

nothing left but pure, unadulterated and uncontaminated with the truth HUBRIS.
