Turnout shaping up to be lower than 2008
A significant drop in voter turnout in Tuesday's election didn't keep President Barack Obama from winning a second term in the White House.
Associated Press
WASHINGTON —
A significant drop in voter turnout in Tuesday's election didn't keep President Barack Obama from winning a second term in the White House.
Early figures from states where more than 90 percent of the vote has been counted suggest fewer people voted this year than four years ago, when voters shattered turnout records as they elected Obama.'

Wat betekent nu in concreto dat 'voters shattered turnout records'? Het betekent dat 43,2 procent van de Amerikaanse kiesgerechtigden niet kwam opdagen, maar wel een 'record' aantal van maar liefst 56.8 procent. Wat een 'record,' nietwaar? Kijkt u zelf maar.

En dat terwijl er miljarden zijn besteed aan propaganda, meer dan ooit tevoren.
'History will remember the 2012 presidential election campaign as being among the wackiest, most expensive, least informative, whiplash-inducing events ever seen in real life on this planet. Remember the GOP primaries? The hilarious "anyone-but-Mitt" frenzy that gave the likes of Herman Cain, Donald Trump, Newt Gingrich and Michele Bachmann their own star turn? Magic. That wonderful carnival of nonsense has delivered Mitt Romney and Barack Obama to this, the finish line, at last.'

Er is iets fundamenteel mis, maar dat ontgaat de mainstream media, ze worden niet gefinancierd om de werkelijkheid te vertellen. Tot het straks te laat is.
