Why is Karl Rove so visibly happy, and telling everyone that Republicans will hold on to their majority in both houses? He knows the fix is in, that's why.

We are as asleep in this country as the Germans were when the Nazis took over! And many of the things I've seen here recently are similar to what happened in Germany back then in the 1930s.

The exit polls are always accurate, yet since 2000, the exit polls have shown one result, and the machines have shown the results switched! This happened with Gore in Florida in 2000; with Max Clelland in Georgia in 2002; in Ohio, and 18 other States in the last Presidential race, and it will happen again in November. The "official" line will be that exit polls are "useless" (even though they are considered to be the "gold standard" by election monitors in foreign countries, for declaring whether election "results" are accurate), and that the "sampling" was incorrect. You will be told that Republican strategy (read Karl Rove) pulled the rabbit out of the hat at the last minute with successful flooding of the airwaves with negative ads. Don't believe it!

Polls show that 57% of Americans are "fed-up" with the Republicans. And more than 50% say they intend to vote Democrat. Such bad polling figures haven't been seen since 1994 when people felt the same way about the Democrats and Newt Gingrich and the Republicans won control of both houses of Congress. When figures like that occur, people are ready for a change, and the only change is to vote against the current majority party.

Many Republican Senators and Representatives are at 43% or less in the polls in the last few days. It is a fact of truthful and accurate polling that any candidate in a two candidate race who is an incumbent, but only has 43% or less, days before the election, will lose. Watch "miraculous" turnarounds happen and Republicans win 52%-48% or 50-49%, or 51-49% when they were behind in the polls on election eve. Also watch the exit polls show Democrats sweeping the board, but the "results" showing the opposite!

We have become the first technological "banana republic" and Americans have become too docile and lethargic to do anything about it. People will have voted to "throw the bums out" but the "bums" will have stolen the elections, thanks to Diebold and the incredibly easy manipulation of the code in the "voting" machines (it takes less than 5 seconds to unlock a machine, replace the recording chip with a new chip with a virus that simply switches the results to the desired candidate(s)). Someone with a cell phone can also "hack" into the machines without any problem. And there's no paper trail!

Remember, Hitler told everyone openly what he intended to do and everyone thought he didn't mean it. Karl Rove has said he intends to "make certain" that Republicans become the "perpetual majority" in this country. His equanimity in the face of what seems like certain defeat, is very revealing. And his statements that "Republicans will not lose their majority in either house" reveals a knowledge of the election being stolen through manipulations of the machines. And we're all too dumb to get it, much less take to the streets and overthrow these stealers of our liberties and rights, and our votes!

I believe I'm right. I hope (springs eternal!) I'm wrong.
