We live in cheap an twisted times.
Our leaders are low-rent Fascists and our laws are a tangle of mockeries. Recent polls indicate that the only people who feel optimistic about the future are first-year law students who expect to get rich by haggling over the ruins... and they are probably right.

A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls.

The polls...indicate that Nixon will get a comfortable majority of the youth vote. And that he might carry all fifty states....This may be the year when we finally come face to face with ourselves -- that we really are just a nation of...used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns, and no qualms at all about killing anyone else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable.

The total collapse of the public opinion polls shows that this country is in good health. A country that developed an airtight system of finding out in advance what was in people's minds would be uninhabitable.

Midterm elections are all about rallying the base. If you can bring up censure and impeachment, maybe you can get back the 10 or 15 percent of Republicans who have peeled off in the recent polls.

This is less about Americans' addiction to oil than to Republican politicians' addiction to polls. The rhetoric is bracing but the proposals are mercifully trivial.

Security agencies have pledged maximum security for the polls so we are confident that elections will be held smoothly, despite the difficult situation.

Numbers 1:2:
'Take a census of the whole Israelite community by their clans and families, listing every man by name, one by one.'
(NIV)
Take a census of all the males of the congregation of the Israelites by families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of names, head by head.
(AMP)
Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls;
(KJV)

The democratic theory is that if you accumulate enough ignorance at the polls, you produce intelligence.
|
The South is dry and will vote dry. That is, everybody sober enough to stagger to the polls will.

If you're sick and tired of the politics of cynicism and polls and principles, come and join this campaign.
