Elections are rigged.  We don’t like to admit it, but elections are not pure and honest.  To begin, they are bought with money from organizations and special interest groups that insist candidates pay them back.  If a politician expects to get future support they better demonstrate their value to their benefactors whether or not it is in the best interest of the people.

Most Americans are good, hard-working, caring individuals who want equality, justice, and opportunity for all citizens.  Unfortunately, as voters they are ill-informed, misled, provided conflicting information, and often make a selection based on an abstract factor like appearance, manner of speech, political party, peer pressure, or gut feel.  No one in their right mind would select a physician based on those factors.  Yet voters do with political candidates whose actions will affect their way of life, safety, and future.

Voters are regularly misled by politicians who say what they believe the audience to whom they are speaking wants to hear.  In addition, they malign their opponents with false accusations or innuendo.  This type of dishonesty perverts the process as the voter is being sold a candidate under false pretenses.  Once elected, candidates forget all of their promises and positions.

Many voters work two jobs, take care of children, help aging parents, fill out endless income tax forms, shop for bargains to make ends meet, give time and money to charity, mow the lawn, go to church, sit in traffic, and, oh yeah, eat and sleep.  Voters need a source of information that they can trust?  Further, they must be shown how to see through the “kind and beneficent” promises of socialism.  With the facts in hand, they will be fully capable of making a better value judgment.

Finally, groups such as ACORN using the Cloward-Piven Strategy of forcing change through crisis use the tactic of overwhelming the electoral system. They register so many fraudulent names that it is impossible to monitor or investigate them all.  The result is that they get an inordinate number of uninvestigated votes into the system that change the outcome in numerous races.  Does it not strike you as odd that whenever there is a close election the recount always turns up new votes for the Democratic candidate from a variety of unique sources?

Politicians cry for regulation of big business but have failed to provide proper regulation of the basis of our democracy—one person, one vote.
