For a long time I worked for a major grocery wholesaler.\u00a0 This company provided service to hundreds of independent grocery stores.\u00a0 Once I was visiting a store along with one of our meat department experts.\u00a0 The owner asked him to look at the books, because he felt profits were too low.\u00a0 This expert looked at the books for about five minutes and said \u201cyour meat manager is stealing from you.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em> The store owner was shocked and angry.\u00a0 He said he knew this young man very well and there was no possibility that he was a thief.\u00a0 The expert just smiled and said:\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m sure you\u2019re right, but do you mind if we just run a couple of simple checks to make sure.\u201d<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0The store owner reluctantly agreed, primarily so he could prove that his meat manager was above reproach.\u00a0 So we ran the tests and sure enough, the meat manager was stealing.<\/p>\n

I later talked to that expert and I asked him how he could be so sure.\u00a0 He said is it quite simple:\u00a0 \u201cAs soon as I looked at the profit margins on his meat department I knew that someone was stealing.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0Since the meat manager is the one who has the control, he (or she) is almost always the one doing the stealing.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em> I asked, \u201cHave you ever been wrong about this?\u201d<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 He laughed and said, \u201cSo far, no.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Here in the United States, only one candidate for president ever got over 61% of the vote and that was Lyndon Johnson.\u00a0 Yet the liberal left would have us believe that Democrats routinely win elections by huge margins in every major metropolitan area.\u00a0 These results are not statistically possible, without manipulation.\u00a0 We all instinctively know that.\u00a0 In communist countries the leader frequently gets an extremely high percentage of the vote.\u00a0 That is one way we know those elections are shams.\u00a0 If we believe there is no voter fraud in virtually every major metropolitan area we are beyond stupid.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the Iraq elections, people had to dip their finger in purple ink so that they couldn\u2019t vote twice.\u00a0 Sadly, there was more integrity with that election than there was in ours.\u00a0 Our election laws are so convoluted and there are so many convenient loop holes that it is a recipe for voter fraud.\u00a0 Not only do I believe in voter fraud, I suspect it is far more wide spread than anyone can even imagine.\u00a0 Certainly more than Democrats will ever admit.<\/p>\n

If Republicans accomplish nothing else this year they must insist on voter ID laws in every state, in every precinct in every election.\u00a0 The majority of people in both parties support voter ID.\u00a0 The only people who are opposed to it are liberal Democrats who are terrified of losing elections in major metropolitan areas.\u00a0 That is exactly why it needs to be done.\u00a0 We need to call their bluff.\u00a0 We need to ask them why they are so afraid of an honest election.<\/p>\n

Just remember that meat department.\u00a0 If the numbers don\u2019t add up, it is time to take action.\u00a0 How can we possibly consider ourselves free if we cannot trust our most fundamental right; the right to fair and honest elections?<\/p>\n

Color me purple.<\/p>\n
