As the 2012 election approached, conservative enthusiasm
grew. Mitt Romney was drawing huge crowds while Barack Obama spoke in
half-filled stadiums. All the passion lay on the right while the left was
discouraged with a promised messiah who proved merely a politician. And the
prediction was that, in contrast to 2008, Republican turnout would dwarf the
tuned-out and carry the day. Hence the shock November 6 eve. How could Romney
lose, especially by such a wide electoral margin?

Maybe he didn’t

At least not legitimately.

When I predicted
Obama’s re-election, I stated that, despite our country’s inexorable
leftist slide, Romney would still win on Election Day were it not for vote
fraud. I explained that the Democrats could steal more than enough votes in
crucial swing states to turn the election. And I still believe what I did then:
electoral criminality put Obama over the top.

At the time, we heard stories about electronic-machine
“glitches” switching Romney votes to Obama ones. And Patrick Moran, son of
Congressman Jim Moran (D-VA), was caught
on tape facilitating vote fraud while Bridgeport, CT mayor Bill Finch
essentially promised
to commit same for a political partner in crime. 

Since then, the indications of electoral criminality have
been overwhelming. First there are the anecdotes, such as the court-appointed
Republican poll watchers illegally expelled from 13 Philadelphia polling places
in wards that, in most cases, went 99 percent for Obama; the poll observers who
noted what they considered vote fraud but were powerless to stop; and the
Democrats who actually bragged
about voting more than once.

Then there are the statistics, such as this
staggering fact: in 59 Philadelphia districts, Romney failed to get even one vote. Final Obama-Romney tally:
19,605 to 0.

Huh? Not even one person voted GOP accidentally? I mean,
there even was a Washington, D.C. councilman who inadvertently voted to approve
faux marriage, saying
that he didn’t know what he was voting for (that would be Marion Barry).

Next, consider this
report from The Columbus Dispatch:
 

More than one out of every five
registered Ohio voters is probably ineligible to vote.

In two counties, the number of
registered voters actually exceeds the voting-age population: Northwestern
Ohio’s Wood County shows 109 registered voters for every 100 eligible, while in
Lawrence County along the Ohio River it’s a mere 104 registered per 100
eligible.

Another 31 counties show
registrations at more than 90 percent of those eligible, a rate regarded as
unrealistic by most voting experts. The national average is a little more than
70 percent.

[…]Of the Buckeye State’s 7.8
million registered voters, nearly 1.6 million are regarded as “inactive.”

Understand the significance. Years ago I was contacted
by a Washington, D.C. community leader (who’ll remain anonymous) who told me
that he had “done some computer work for several candidates over the years in
DC” and had conducted his own study of urban vote fraud. He said that inner
cities’ great transiency ensures that any given large metropolis will have a
great number of voters who no longer live in their precinct of registration.
These areas also have Democrat operatives known by the get-out-the-vote term “block
captains” or “apartment captains,” people who know the lay of the land and thus
what registered voters have left town. So all they need do then is vote for
these people or have others do so. This is very easy, too, with few voter-ID
laws. And this is why Democrats oppose these laws so vehemently.

Now consider that Obama “won” Ohio by 100,000 votes. This
means that to flip the state, Democrat surrogates had to illegally “activate”
only 6.25 percent of its 1.6 million inactive voters.

Note also that Ohio secretary of state Jon Husted did ask
Eric Holder’s DOJ for help negotiating conflicting federal laws pertaining to
purging ineligible voters from the rolls. The DOJ’s ultimate response? “No
comment.”

Yet a voter doesn’t even have to be inactive, just
disengaged. For example, when the aforementioned Patrick Moran offered advice
on surrogate voting, he told an undercover reporter to masquerade as a pollster
and call a targeted individual to make sure he wasn’t planning to vote. And
this is nothing new. In fact, liberal leg-thriller Chris Matthews himself admitted
that it has been going on for years.

Then there is the case of the missing military ballots. As
Rachel Alexander at Town Hall reported:

The conservative-leaning military
vote has decreased
drastically since 2010 due to the so-called Military Voter Protection Act that
was enacted into law the year before. It has made it so difficult for overseas
military personnel to obtain absentee ballots that in Virginia and Ohio there
has been a 70% decrease in requests for ballots since 2008. In Virginia, almost
30,000 fewer overseas military voters requested ballots than in 2008. In Ohio,
more than 20,000 fewer overseas military voters requested ballots. This is
significant considering Obama won in both states by a little over 100,000
votes.

Frankly, it is inconceivable that military interest in
voting could’ve dropped so drastically given conservatives’ passion this
election season. The damning conclusion? The Obama machine wants our soldiers
to shed blood while it sheds their votes.

Striking as all this is, however, it’s likely just a partial
picture. As with all crime, it’s a given that the discovered vote fraudsters
represent only a tiny percentage of the total. And what about vote-fraud methods
we haven’t even thought of yet? Remember, the Democrats have been honing this
act for many, many years.

And vote fraud is a Democrat domain. Liberals are the
situational-values set, people who for years insisted that right and wrong is
relative and that if it feels good, do it. And what feels good to them at
election time is stealing votes to win — and they do it. They relish it, in
fact. Like the liberal who addressed Bill Clinton’s it-depends-on-what-is-is infidelity
and adamantly told me, “He did the right
thing,” leftists love the con. To pull a fast one like private eye Jim Rockford,
fool everyone, and get away with it is like winning the Nobel Prize in
Prevarication in their world. Thus, it’s assured that there’s no small number
of liberals who are currently brimming with pride at having negated the votes
of countless knuckle-dragging conservatives.  

Having said this, we can’t be sure about the exact magnitude
of the vote fraud. But my judgment is this:

The election was likely stolen.  

And whatever Barack Obama is presently, I don’t believe he
will be a legitimate president come January 20.

This is why Congressman Allen West was right not to concede
his Florida race. And, frankly, if Romney believes that the election may have
been stolen nationally, he should withdraw his concession.

Radical?

Unprecedented?

Yes, but so is vote fraud on the scale perpetrated by
Obama’s minions. And people needn’t fear creating a national crisis — we are already in a national crisis. The
only question is whether good Americans will stand and be counted or allow 2012
to mark our official descent into banana-republic status.
