America's record is worse than Russia's.....

When it comes to ousting an incumbent it is more difficult to do so in America's current rigged political system than in Russia's. Imagine that...Russia has state run television and a horrible record of umsolved murders of reporters that do "investigative" journalism. America has a corporate media (that spreads it's own propaganda that it is liberal) and journalists are not rewarded financially or in their careers for doing "investigative" journalism. Plus it takes LOTS of money from the big corporations who favor the incumbents they know they can buy off.

Here are the statistics.

America--- Incumbants remain in office 98% of the time
Russia--Incumbants remain in office 92% of the time.

This election I'm afraid Americans may be stunned at election day if the Republicans retain power with the current rate of dissatisfaction. But without VERIFIABLE elections we will never know if our vote is counted fairly.....

Some groups are suggesting that folks wear a sticker that is blue or red to allow others to know how they are voting so the general public can "guess" for themselves...Hopefully the media will once again resume exit polling which is often a good evidence on election rigging....

Hopefully Americans have had enough and will do what it takes to restore a balance of power and accountability in our government. Otherwise, our tax dollars will be continued to be used against the best interests of the majority of Americans...i.e. the most often neglected group--the middle class.

Buzz...Buzz...
