that crazy election thing<\/u><\/b> – a short rant, long on feeling<\/p>\n
I know, I know. If your like just about everyone else on the planet you are
\n pretty sick of the US presidential election. Your probably wondering what the
\n issues are and what the problem is – and why any of this matters. I can’t answer
\n any of the big questions… but I do have some comments.<\/p>\n
No guns:<\/b> So far there has been no violence. So the next time some smiling Hand counts suck:<\/b> Let’s be very clear about this. Machines are not perfect… Do we really think that millions of little punch cards can be accurately counted The hand counts will go on and on:<\/b> Long after this election is over Hillary Clinton has already started pandering: <\/b>it’s true. She has already Your problems are someone’s picket sign:<\/b> I was listening to public radio They are planning a million person march to protest at the inauguration. Of God help us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" that crazy election thing – a short rant, long on feeling I know, I know.

\n foreigner comes sidling up to you with a smarmy look on his face and makes some
\n snide comment about the election and how much better it is in dirtzicstan or
\n wherever he’s from, here are some suggested comments for you…<\/p>\n\n
\n this morning \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n
\n solicit sex! – oh, wait. Skip that one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n but there is now a whole lot of fraud going on – and the more they count and
\n recount the worse it is going to get. Aside from the votes being deliberately
\n miscounted we now have rather fragile punch cards being handled over and over
\n again by volunteers who desperately want to change the count of this election.<\/p>\n
\n by tired, overworked humans in a hurry – humans with a desperately apparent
\n political agenda and that the outcome will be real and fair. Not just no, but
\n "hell no". You know better and I know better. Rampant fraud is the
\n name of the day now.<\/p>\n
\n the Democratic party will count these votes – why? Because they don’t really
\n care about the outcome as much as they care about being able to scream for the
\n next four years about how unfair it was. I promise, the hand counts will continue
\n – without adequate controls or supervision – until they get the result they
\n want.<\/p>\n
\n started calling
\n for the abolition<\/a> of the Electoral College… a issue she clearly has only
\n the loosest possible grasp on. At least you can express your opinion in a healthy
\n manner<\/a>. <\/p>\n
\n yesterday, as is my habit when I am driving. Some of the hosts were discussing
\n with callers that maybe now the "rest of America" would wake up and
\n see the rampant fraud and intimidation that goes on in the electoral process.
\n In other words, they think thsi si somehow a logical extension. But it isn’t<\/i>.
\n This situation is existing specifically because so many people are happy and
\n willing to cause trouble. They will see it as a vindication.<\/p>\n
\n course they are. Hey, nothing brings out the happy activists like something
\n to be indignant about.<\/p>\n
