The National Memo » The GOP Didn’t Steal The 2012 Election, But They Sure Tried
After reading above article on the 2012 Presidential election in Florida how can any sane registered American voter not be agast at the means some elected republican officials go to to win elections? Even more so, what about those wealthy republican obfuscators such as Grover Norquist, Karl Rove, Koch brothers, Dick Cheney, Fox News owners and their lock-step reporters and news analyzist, Governors, such as Florida's 2012 governor and other states' republiccan governors' who shamlessly systematically abuse America's voting freedoms? These ought to be crimes against America's freedom punishable by loss of their freedom!
Republican and/or democrative conservatives making charges through the press against any vote organizaton trying to promote voter registration among low income voters should go through a court rather than be tried in the press! Case in point is the Association of Community Organizations for Reform---Acorn---who had a record of successfully engaging in voter drives to sign low income people up to vote. Acorn collected about 550,000 voter-registration applications across the country in 2006, mostly from low-income and minority Americans, and 1.3 million in 2008.
But in March, the organization was closed down after untried accusations but executed by press of two conservative activists that were low-level Acorn employees who allegedly had advised them on how to hide prostitution activities and avoid taxes. Acorn group was also battered by republican and democratic conservatives for having submitted some [unspecific] voter registration cards with incorrect, duplicate or false information. This was using implication as fact.
In 2012 Presidential election of President Obama even though Senate Minority leader---Mitch McConnell declared his only goal was to defeat this president for a 2nd term who implemented Congress'es sequestor the press dubbed "fiscal cliff"---clerver but simple efforts of nationwide voter drives to register low income people as well as others who felt disenfranchised because they were by republican/democrat conservatives, handed Karl Rove and his nine or ten millionaires/billionaires their political heads after they spent more that $1 billion dollars to defeat Obama for a 2nd term! The crowning success of democrats victory was Karl Rove's behavior on Fox News when he learned Ohio went for Obama! The real Karl Rove finally stood up for the world to see!

For wealthy or middle class? That is the "fiscal cliff" politicians dilemma!
More than a quarter-of-a-century ago, during 1984 presidential campaign during a televised debate democratic candidate Mondale looked straight into the TV camera and said something to the effect "If elected I will raise your taxes! He won't tell you. I just did!".
This political diseaster triggered record "protest voter" etching into every future politicians minds a "truth" about the American voter. If you tell them the "truth" and it is distasteful truth they will "bury you" with their "protest" vote!
In 2012 Congress has a "fiscal cliff" mandate they set for themselves placing a much different question for them to politically execute; raise taxes on the middle class by lowering taxes on rich & wealthy making more than $250,000 annually!
Congressional Democrats and Republicans "kicked the "deficit can" down the street" to defer "raising taxes" into the future. They know they must build a plausible scenario or be blamed for causing them record defeat at the polls! Mondale's "truth" proved to all future politicians that telling American voters he would raise federal taxes, if elected, during TV dabate with Reagan caused record "protest" vote during any presidential race in history! Politicians remember this voter message: i.e., if voters told a distasteful truth about taxes being raised they will deliver to the party that does so a "record "protest vote" that will absolutely demoralize any political party!
In 1986, Grover Norquist, a unelected, unappointed republican activists millionaire came up with requiring republican candidates to sign a "no tax pledge" or he promised them he would personally guarantee them a well financed candidate during their next election to defeat them!
The "fiscal cliff" has bought Congress time to posture themselves so as not to be the culprit raising voters' taxes. Therefore, they will execute their "fiscal cliff" mandate---possibly going over the "fiscal cliff" hoping such dramatics will dramatically be viewed by voters as fighting for middle class voters or fighting for wealthy voters causes! However, by not raising taxes on the rich and wealthy making $250,000 or more, they face "portest vote" from the middle class as Mondale did! In addition, by allowing those making $250,000 to receive tax relief by keep G.W. Bush tax cuts, they will be viewed by middle class as raising their taxes when they could have placed more tax on the wealthy allieviating rather than adding to middle class taxpayers' already inconceivable grief of making a living in this country!
