In reply to the discussion: Why has Romney gone downhill so fast and so far? [View all]silvershadow
(10,336 posts)23. I just don't know what to think...my inner hopefulness about this election is weighed
down by my well-placed cynicism. I predict large turnouts. Any thievery most likely is that which we have already seen with the new laws, the purges, the registration fraud etc. All that said, I don't trust these electronic voting machines, at all. These are just ways for outside contractors and vendors to control something that used to be local. Now local means nothing, as they really have there hands totally around the most important pieces. It MUST be addressed after this election, and dismantled. No way I want the mafia from Texas, or Florida, or anywhere else in charge of elections all over this country, from huge metros to little tiny podunk places. It just cannot be over-emphasized.

Mitt's "47% fundraising speech" in May wasn't forced on him. That was Mitt, unzipped.

He's losing, but if he really went far downhill, he'd take the GOP congress with him
