During the months leading up to last month’s election, we saw a remarkable amount of survey data that pointed to a big victory for Mitt Romney. Nevertheless, almost all of the projections generated by the polls were ultimate proved wrong, so wrong that it really can no longer be successfully argued that people did not lie to pollsters. If this was the extent of the disinformation we heard and read, it would be bad enough; but it gets worse.
Reports of a sharp drop in Democrat registration published by a Democrat “think tank” calling itself the “Third Way” (a heretofore unknown group) have also been proven to be wildly inaccurate – so much so that it is hard to accept that their “errors” were honest.
Third Way told us some whoppers that were accepted as true in many corners, this site included. For instance, Third Way told us that Democrat registration in New Hampshire had dropped 19.5% and by a smaller (but also significant) number in Iowa. It is hard to accept that these numbers were not made up out of thin air.
Now the same group is telling us that 96% of those who voted for Barack Obama believe the federal debt is a problem, with 85% of them favoring increasing taxes on “the wealthy.”
This data is not in and of itself odd or surprising; but added to the rest of the numbers presented by this survey, things do get strange. Almost half (41%) of these voters now want to use spending cuts to control the deficit, and another 41% want to just tax the rich out of existence. Most surprisingly, Third Way is telling us that only 5% of Obama’s voters want to raise taxes as the only way to resolve the deficit.
Manifestly counter-intuitive data like this strongly suggests that we were the victims of media and informational manipulations on a scale never before seen in our country. To reelect Barack Obama, the Democrats used lies and deceit the Nazis would have been proud to use. The worst part is that we don’t seem to be able to do much about them doing this in every election cycle from now on. Honest journalism is dead.

Romney didn’t lose. O won by 3 million votes and I believe there was that much corruption in the polling process.
Everyone has a price or incentive. This election showed fraud all through the deme-rat party. Enough to give the boon the win. The polls were right and the boon lost. Can`t beat fraud.
Barry Soetoro is not my president because I didn’t vote for him this time or the last time so I can sleep in peace but everyone that did vote for him will see the fruit and for the most part it will be to old to eat.
The reason why the unemployment went down is because people like me and my husband have just quit looking because there is nothing out there especially when you don’t speak Spanish. You are looked at as though you are garbage and need to thrown out sad but very true.
I’m extremely suspicious. Polls were coming out that Obama was leading Romney in key battleground states. The internals of these polls showed an overabundance of Democrats being sampled. Factor out the extra Dems being sampled and Romney was supposed to win. The explanation at the time was that the pollsters were trying to manipulate the polls in order to manipulate the electorate. Their results from an improper sampling were proven true in the election. What if they were just trying to come up with poll results that would mirror the election results that they knew were coming after the massive voter fraud that was to be perpetrated on the American citizens and the easiest way to do this was a skewed sampling. This way, less suspicion would be focused on the stolen elections.
That statistics were manipulated and created and reality distorted should not surprise any of us, but I will admit that I was duped like probably many others. Maybe the pessimistic stats are the real reason many conservative Republicans did not vote this election. Yet, if we cannot trust the polls or the stats that are published, or the pundits and prognosticators or consultants that proffer their advice and predictions, then the only way to defeat radical Marxist candidates will be to insure that our side gets out the vote, all of it! The Bolsheviks have most certainly won this round and we better learn from their tactics or we will become like the Romans who after 700AD could no longer defeat the invading barbarians and had to watch their empire, pride and prominence collapse and disintegrate in front of their eyes. You do not bring a knife to a fight when your enemy brings guns!
