But trouble started the very next morning when voter watch-dog groups like The Citizen's for Legislative Government and a vast number of angry Ron Paul supporters poured over the hand ballots count data, and discovered a major difference between what they got and what the "official" Secretary of State numbers were. The hand count numbers are these: Obama 38.7, Clinton 34.9 percent, with Edwards, Richardson, and Gravel each picking up a higher percentage of the total vote. My video below shows this.
But the big news is that in the hand count Barack Obama comes out on top. Obama wins NH. And this news can throw not only the entire election into chaos, but the way the mainstream media has covered the results, with organizations like CNN and Pew Reseach saying the Obama lost because he was Black.
Well, how does one explain this hand-count result?
Well, we would have to go back to the initial story of the Obama magic. It's still there. I don't believe race was an issue this time around and the numbers do prove it. Also, this problem of the chance of a NH vote count mistake with the Diebold machines was known for several months; it's not sour grapes.
I'm going to update this story in a few.
i believe there was frauds. it is not the clinton's fault. it is the fault of the fraudulent manufacturers. obama should have won that election.
ReplyDeleteObama/Edwards 2008! Unite!
ReplyDeleteI've been watching how mainstream media reports the news since Iran Contra around 1985 or 86. All the excuses they give about not spending money on investigative reporting, or focusing on sensational stories doesn't hack it. The Bush Gore election is a case in point. The media took 3 things Gore said out of context and made Gore look like a liar while Bush was lying about his record throughout his campaign. Did the media ever mention Bush's insider trading? Did they ever mention how Bush made his fortune by increasing taxes and using imminent domain to steal a private home owner's property in order to build a stadium? Now those were sensational stories and would not have taken much investigation to verify.
ReplyDeleteIn 2004, did anyone get fired for reporting the lies of the swiftboat liars? As soon as Dan Rather spoke out about Bush's war record, in spite of the fact his story was factually accurate, he was fired over a supposed forged document.
If corporations would spend millions of dollars to influence our legislators it only makes sense they would do whatever they could to influence us. Five corporations control 95% of our media and all 5 of those corporations are making out big time on this war.
At the beginning of the primaries, Dennis Kucinich came in 4th behind Edwards, Clinton and Obama at 15%. Even then he wasn't allowed in the debates. The media has consistently excluded Kucinich, Ron Paul, and Gravel because they don't want them influencing the debates. Why did NBC feel it was so important to exclude Kucinich from the January debates that they had to take it to court and then appeal it when Kucinich won?
We have to fight to get our democracy back by fighting for clean elections, a voting system that works with fraud investigated and punished and a free and open media that really informs the public. Then we could get universal health care and good foreign policy. We could rebuild our infrastructure and create jobs and we could develop create renewable energy sources. Then maybe we'd see an end to divisive politics that are tearing this country apart. United we stand, divided we fall and don't they know it.
