Did you notice, in the Super Tuesday
primaries:
- that - even in the "red states" - the Democrat
voters far outnumbered the Republicans (generally something like two to
one)?
- that - even among this small minority Republican
electorate, and even though nearly every major conservative wag (and virtually
every national conservative talk host) warned Republican voters against
McCain (even defectors Liddy and Gallagher weren't backing McCain, just telling us not to desert the party
if he gets the nomination), McCain still cleaned up? That he won over 50%
among Republicans in several states? That only a relatively slight
majority of Republican voters consider themselves
"conservatives"
- that - according to a Fox News exit poll, 22% of
Republican voters (GOP voter already being a tiny minority in
California) who said immigration was their most important issue voted
for McCain? What does this mean? Do they think open borders, amnesty for MS13,
citizenship for invaders, sanctuary city sanctioning, jailed border guard
forgetting McCain is actually the strongest on immigration? Or do these 22% of
this already tiny minority party - the only party with any substantial support for border security
among its politicos - support McCain because they like his stances on
these issues? (It was actually supposedly 24%
nationwide!)
- that in the caucus states - where
the voting was public, and the electronic (Diebold) voting machines couldn't do
their thing unobserved - McCain did by far the worst, and the more
"conservative" his opponent, the better he did in comparison with how he did
in the Diebold states?
How do conservatives like me, determined to
help true conservatives mount a unified independent or third party campaign, deal
with:
- mainstream opinion pollsters whose
predictions of big wins for liberals like McCain and mere blips for real
conservatives (not to mention touting that only the most liberal candidates can
have a chance against the Democrats) can be thought to act as self-fulfilling
prophecies?
- mainstream media whose biased reporting has never
been so great as this year?
- suspect (easily hacked, according to all
tests) voting machines whose tallies we must accept blindly?
- voting results that look more like what we can
expect after a "McHillabama" victory opens the floodgates to tens of
millions of Hugo Chavez-style voters than what we could expect of a nation that jammed the Capitol switchboards and defeated the same legislation last
year?
It's just not adding up. Call me a crackpot, but I
can't make sense out of huge numbers of Republican voters seriously concerned
about the immigration issue favoring John McCain (or a lot of other things
discussed above). Are we reaping the harvest of generations of government
school dumbing down?
Has Bush's Iraq nosedive, via seemingly
bizarre coverups of the 500 WMD finds Rick Santorum
had to use the Freedom of Information Act to uncover (and lost his career in
retribution), the major finds of David Gaubatz, the discoveries - by John
Shaw and others (not to mention the curious ostensive fizzling of seemingly
certain early finds), plus its downplaying of the Salman Pak 9/11-style training
camp and stonewalling of hard evidence that Iraq executed the Oklahoma city
attack (let me catch my breath - see my True Nature of the Lies) -
have all of these belly flops convinced America (to Bush's glee?) that
"conservatives" are the most loathesome, to-be-feared creatures on earth (as I
predicted in the above-referenced piece)?
Or do we now live in a country where honest,
accurate, transparent elections are as much an impossibility as they are in
China or Cuba? It has long been recognized in America that if an election is
close the liberals will be able do enough to steal it. Has we reached the point
where this maxim applies to elections in general?
I don't know the answer to any of these
questions, but I do know that we of the recently formed Save America Summit
(SAS) - have a lot of investigating - and educating (and ballot petitioning) to
do in the coming months. And I know that if we don't succeed during this cycle,
we can forget it.
Pray for us.
