The coming Presidential election

Last night was the third and final Presidential debate between Bush and Kerry. I didn't watch it.

I watched CNN immediately after the debate to catch the spin. They gave the debate to Kerry, 52% to 39%. Quoting CNN's website: "A CNN/USA Today/Gallup snap poll taken immediately after the presidential debate found that respondents gave a significant edge to Kerry over Bush, 52 percent to 39 percent." You can check out the complete article at:

But does it mean anything ... that Kerry has "won" all three debates?

Personally, I believe that unless it is a landslide for Kerry--enough of a vote difference so that manipulation of the count is out of the question--Bush is going to be declared the winner.

You can't tell me that a group of political operatives that did what they did in Florida last time around are not prepared to do whatever it takes to come out on top this time ... after being in power for four years.

This is not a conspiracy theory. This political cabal simply adheres to a well-defined set of principles. They individually and collectively have a core set of beliefs that guide their individual and collective actions. They don't have to be told what to do to "win". They KNOW what to do to win.

The innermost members of this cabal (the Vulcans) are selected and rejected on their adherence to their core set of beliefs centered in Straussian fascism. (See prior blog entries.)

They are willing to use anyone as cannon fodder in their build-up to the final battle of their defined good over their defined evil, mythically prophesied in the Biblical end-time's Battle of Armageddon, which will lead us--they believe--into a millennium paradise.

Where else have we heard of a thousand years of glorious rule as the result of victory in battle? the Third Reich, maybe?

If those of us who believe that rulers must have the valid consent of the governed--that is, must be democratically and legitimately chosen--allow THIS election to be stolen (2000 wasn't the first time an election in the USA was stolen from the people) the United States of America will be descending into dictatorial darkness rather than resuming its rise toward the shining dream of freedom for all.
