DISQUS

skulzfontaine · 1 year ago

The single dominant issue that you didn't even address Holly, the election standards. Will the votes cast be the votes counted? Humm? Will the election process be credible? Humm? Will it? Probably not. The entire process is rigged and has been since that interminably long ago day one. Given the 2000 and 2004 and 2006 election track record. The process is rigged and it stinks. So one could throw in all manners of campaign peripherals and collateral distraction however, will the elections be credible? I do mean an honest and verifiable result. I'm just asking and not trying to dis your article. An article by Glenn Wonk Redbane, director of the Salt Flats Slim Institute of Applied Political Expedient and Spin Extraordinaire at the University of Lying Warmongers at Bombing Hills, Oklahoma said, "it's all perception and perception can and will be distorted by money, cult of personality, the definition of 'is', and which media outlet has their hands in the panties of whatever candidate is favorable on any given day."
A singularly brilliant academic work and is titled, "Gibe, Jibe, Gest, Jest, or Just Another Day At The Political Slaughterhouse." It is worthy of a read. Thanks Holly. Love you and love your work! Seriously.

Thanks, Skulzfontaine --

You're making a good point. Did you see my post last week, about potential problems in Ohio?

My parents vote in northeastern Ohio. The polls opened at 6 am, which is when my parents arrived at the polling place. But the voting materials didn't arrive until 7:30 am. Then the workers had to set up. By this time the line was very long. It would have been longer, but a lot of people left because they had to go to work.

No Holly I missed it but and thank you, I've just read it. America needs a one time open, free, and fair election. Given the amount of time, money, and utter crap-o-la 'we the people' have had to put up with from both sides of the political aisle, we are owed at least that. Free Palestine and free American elections! Okay so, if not free elections at least give us honest election monitors. Hey I know, what's Jimmy Carter doing today and on or about first Tuesday in November. Golly, only eight interminably long months to go. Yikes! America needs a Constitutional amendment that limits the president to ONE term in office and for six years. It would cut down on the expense and the sheer bombastic nonsense of presidential campaigns.
