A lot of us watched TV Tuesday night, earnestly praying that Mitt Romney would be elected President of the United States.\u00a0 We watched in vain.\u00a0 The die was cast before the first vote was cast last Tuesday.\u00a0 A majority of the people who voted on November 6, 2012, almost certainly voted to elect Mitt Romney.\u00a0 We definitely know that he won 59% of the white vote.\u00a0 This was almost a replay of 2008.\u00a0\u00a0 Once again, Democrats out hustled Republicans with a massive early voting campaign specifically designed to get minority voters registered and to make sure they voted.\u00a0 Then they worked to get minorities to vote on Election Day.\u00a0 It worked brilliantly.\u00a0 95% of blacks voted for Obama; so did 75% of Hispanics.<\/p>\n
The first step in solving a problem is identifying the problem.\u00a0 There are two problems:\u00a0 1.\u00a0 Black voters seem to just automatically vote for the Democratic candidate.\u00a0 Hispanic voters are a little more flexible, but in this election they also voted in lock step.\u00a0 2.\u00a0 All of the early voting, absentee voting and massive voter registration activities cast serious questions on the integrity of the election itself.\u00a0 This situation is a recipe for voter fraud.<\/p>\n
In a democracy, it is impossible for any president, no matter how popular, to get much more than 60% of the vote in a fair and honest election. \u00a0The highest vote total by any president was James Madison, who received 64.7% of the vote.\u00a0 In recent history, the following presidents won more than 55% of the vote:<\/p>\n
Lyndon Johnson 61.1%<\/p>\n
Franklin D. Roosevelt 60.8%<\/p>\n
Richard Nixon\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 60.7%<\/p>\n
Warren Harding 60.3%<\/p>\n
Ronald Reagan\u00a0\u00a0 58.8%<\/p>\n
Theodore Roosevelt\u00a0\u00a0 56.4%<\/p>\n
The point is that when there is a secret ballot, and people have true freedom to choose, it is impossible to get a really high percentage of the vote.\u00a0 This has nothing to do with race.\u00a0 One can assume that most of the people living in places like South Korea are Korean.\u00a0 They don\u2019t vote in lock-step for anyone, if they have a freedom of choice.\u00a0 There are places where we see such winning margins. \u00a0These are places with a single-party system.\u00a0 There are also places like North Korea. \u00a0When you see anyone getting more than 65% of the vote, anywhere, anytime, you know that the voters did not have a true freedom of choice.<\/p>\n
What really happened in this election is that the Democratic machine took over the minority voting blocks.\u00a0 Regardless of whether you think their tactics were legal or not, ethical or not, they worked to an extent that is impossible in a truly fair and honest election.\u00a0 We now have a situation where the outcomes of national elections are predetermined by a small percentage of the total voters because these people vote in lock-step.\u00a0 Quite simply, the outcomes of the last two presidential elections were determined almost entirely by the black and Hispanic vote, which voted as a single voting bloc.\u00a0 If you discount the bloc voting by minorities, John McCain won easily in 2008, and Mitt Romney won easily in 2012.<\/p>\n
This explains why Democrats are fighting so hard against voter ID.\u00a0 It also explains the desperation to preserve early voting with no restrictions.\u00a0 It is the primary source of their political power.<\/p>\n
Suppose you are a minority, living in a depressed area.\u00a0 You may not even speak English.\u00a0 A local representative of the Democratic Party shows up in your living room.\u00a0 He or she smiles a lot and they speak your language.\u00a0 They help you register to vote.\u00a0 They help you get your absentee ballot and then help you answer the questions.\u00a0 Then they graciously offer to put it in the mail for you or perhaps even drop it off in person.\u00a0 This is happening in minority communities all over the country.\u00a0 It is clearly working.\u00a0 You don\u2019t achieve a 75% or even a 95% margin for your candidate by accident.\u00a0 You certainly do not achieve that by having a fair and honest election.<\/p>\n
We must take action now to fix this problem.\u00a0 We must start by alerting people to the problem and demanding voter ID laws.\u00a0 We must also demand a return to the secret ballot, with one caveat–the ballot cannot be so secret that we have no way of verifying that it is legitimate.\u00a0 A court case reported by the Denver Post explains the problem:<\/p>\n
http:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/breakingnews\/ci_21601455\/federal-judge-says-no-constitutional-right-secret-ballot<\/a><\/p>\n Democratic activists are working overtime to make it impossible to hold a free election in this country.\u00a0 They are doing this under the cover of eliminating voter suppression.\u00a0 If they succeed, your vote next time will matter even less.<\/p>\n There is bi-partisan support for this, and we must fix this problem before it is too late.\u00a0 Voter-ID laws have strong support from Democrats as well as Republicans.\u00a0 We must demand that systems be put into place to verify that voters are legal, that they are properly identified, that the secrecy of their ballot is preserved and that they only vote once.\u00a0 We must be flexible enough to prove to the courts that we are not discriminating against the ability of legal minorities to vote in elections, but we must be absolutely firm in requiring a system that preserves our most precious freedom–the right to vote.\u00a0 We must demand a return to free and honest elections.<\/p>\n If we do that, based on historical records, it will be impossible for any political party to achieve this type of lock-step voting in the future.<\/p>\n We must also reach out to the minority communities and tell them the truth about how Democratic policies are devastating minorities.\u00a0 Democrats talk a good game about looking out for the little guy, but they have been throwing money left and right to defeat poverty in this country since 1964, and it has never worked.\u00a0 It is worse today than when Lyndon Johnson started the war on poverty. When in doubt, always start with the cold hard truth.<\/p>\n We must also send a strong message to the white community. \u00a0If we do not fix this problem, the white community will no longer have any voice in future national elections.\u00a0 The only alternative to a sustained situation where minorities are dominating elections by voting as a block is for white voters to vote as a block.\u00a0 That, of course, would be unacceptable.\u00a0 That would be racism.\u00a0 There was a time in this country when white voters, at least in the South, did exactly that.\u00a0 We do not want to return to those days under any circumstances.\u00a0 But the harsh reality is that the last two presidential elections were won almost entirely by racial politics. <\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Barack Obama did not hesitate to tell black people they must vote for him because he is black.\u00a0 He also did not hesitate to tell Hispanic voters to vote for him because all white voters are racist.\u00a0 He did much more than that.\u00a0 Democratic activists descended on minority communities in mass to make sure people voted their way.\u00a0 They told lies about George Bush letting people die after Hurricane Katrina because they were black.\u00a0 The Democratic Party is once again the party of racism.<\/p>\n There is hard evidence that white voters are not racist.\u00a0 Even when minorities were voting in lock step for Barack Obama, 39% of white voters still voted for Obama.\u00a0 When you think about it, Barack Obama got almost exactly the percentage of white votes one would expect a losing candidate to get from any voting demographic.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 Mitt Romney got 58% of the white vote, also just about what one would expect for a winning candidate.<\/p>\n The lesson to Republicans is very simple:\u00a0 we don\u2019t have swing states.\u00a0 What we have is voting blocs that don\u2019t swing at all.\u00a0 If Democrats continue to register new minority voters and the percentage of the minority vote goes even higher, and they continue to vote as a Democratic bloc, we will lose our Democracy.\u00a0 This election has to be a real wake-up call.<\/p>\n TDM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A lot of us watched TV Tuesday night, earnestly praying that Mitt Romney would be elected President of the United States.\u00a0 We watched in vain.\u00a0 The die was cast before the first vote was cast last Tuesday.\u00a0 A majority of … Continue reading
