((So before I start this rant, let me say that it is a rant about human nature, not politics which I have recently sworn off of. Unfortunately because of the subject matter, some mention of politics is unavoidable, so any who wish may mock me on falling off the tating wagon on just the second day.))
((Secondly, I'd like to point out that two of the things mentioned in the article do not fit the headline and subject of the article. The video is simply that, a video. It contains no secret mind control techniques to make you vote against Obama. Well as far as I know anyway. The video, much like the recent Obama movie, may reinforce the views of those who already believe that he is evil and dangerous, but will do very little to effect the Independents and Democrat voters. If for no other reason than pretty much everyone is bone tired of all this shift and ready for the election to be over. The reference to billboards being placed in minority neighborhoods talking about voter fraud etc as dirty tactics trying to keep the poor and minority voters from voting is basically bull. Sorry, this is 2012 not 1897, the only way voter fraud laws should intimidate you and keep you from voting is...well if you are actually committing voter fraud. Okay, foreshadowing done, on the with rant!))
People Suck! As a whole, I believe that humans may be the only mistake God ever made. (Well except for peaches. What's up with that huge pit?) And nothing shows that more than events mentioned in the above article. People, not content with letting whoever will win the election do it legally and honestly, are targeting voters all over the country. They are lying to them, cheating them and essentially trying to disenfranchise them in the hopes of swaying the election one way or another.
I suppose it makes sense that people on both sides are nervous. The Presidential Race is one of the closest I have ever seen with both Candidates running neck and neck into the home stretch. (Okay serious aside here, Foot race between Obama and Romney, who would win? I'd put Romney as a winner since Obama is a recovering smoker, but Obama might have a chance since he does play basketball. What do you think? Okay aside over.) Some of the forces in play must be suffering serious panic attacks right now.
Keep in mind that the tactics mentioned in the article aren't new nor is the only recent election they have been used in. Any time there is a major election, fraudsters trot out the fake phone calls and phoney "officials" to try to sway the election. Hell, before phones they probably used carrier pigeons and fake Deputy badges to pull it off. What is unique in this election is the sheer volume of it. Pundits are calling this the "most important Presidential Election" in the past 50 years and the cheaters and swindlers seem to believe them
Now I truly and honestly doubt that either candidate has any involvement in this crap. I like to think that either of them is a little too noble to mess with it all. I also have serious doubts that any of the Party Leaders are even remotely involved for hopefully the same reason. Generally, this sort of thing is carried out on a local/state level by individuals or small groups who truly believe that their actions are what is good for their Party. These people believe that any actions they take no matter how criminal or morally repugnant they may be are justified as long as THEIR Party wins.
So like I said, People Suck! I have seen so much hating on both sides of the coin this election season where people are vilified simply because their stance is different. I have seen both candidates bombarded with half truths and outright lies. Okay yes, the Candidates have done it too, but that doesn't make it right. Now this Shadow Force (Catchy may use that in a book) is out there targeting people and trying to strip them of the most important right our country gives us, the right to vote and try to determine the path our nation will take. People Suck!
END OF RANT
