NY Times’ Charles Blow: 'Election Is Very Close To Being Stolen Before The Votes Are Actually Cast'

VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/ny-times-columnist-charles-blow-election-is-very-close-to-being-stolen-before-the-votes-are-actually-cast/

New York Times opinion columnist Charles M. Blow appeared on MSNBC with Martin Bashir on Tuesday where he condemned Republican state legislators’ efforts to pass voter identification laws. He said that many of those laws amount to a poll tax and that “this election is very close to being stolen before the votes are actually cast.” -- snip --

elections. They have had since 2000 to figure out how to stop massive election fraud, but they have done nothing.

We must get control of the election process and insist on verifiable votes.

But if we're proactive enough, it may be impossible to even think about stealing the election, without the game finally up and ending on them once and for ALL.

The classic was about ten years ago, when I was going on about a country whose present government was devoid of democracy, being run by a puppet figurehead who would have been a bus driver if he hadn't been the son of a father who had already run the country. the jerk fancied himself a military genius, when all he was doing was playing toy soldiers with real people, while his country was fast becoming an economic basket case.

Some Republican was listening, and got all in a huff and started dissing me for being disrespectful of George W. Bush. I pointed out to him that in fact I was talking about communist dictator Kim Jong Il of North Korea, but if he saw that many similarities, he was probably being very perceptive. From his reaction, I got the distinct impression he was not interested in being THAT perceptive.

The people behind the these curtains are professionals.
(They know EXACTLY what they are doing!)
They are throwing nothing but fast balls!

They already know how you will vote based on your demographic.

They are NOT interested in your opinion or vote, they already know

its that simple........
