TFK #1
Let me be clear- I have long since given up on vast conspiracy theories. Also known as "paranoid conspiracy theories" or "PCTs." I've pretty much settled down and gotten comfortable with the idea that most of what's wrong with the world today is not some vast conspiracy, but rather groups of people with power and money acting independently in their own best interest.
Having said that...
...It's still fun.
And sometimes, well, I just get the feeling that something is wrong and the only explanation is some sort of conspiracy. The 2000 and 2004 elections, for example. So from now on, when I think I smell a conspiracy, I'm going to flag the post with this picture and tell you about it.
Notice that I don't wear just any tin foil hat - mine is a tin foil Kangol.
TKK#1 deals with today's senate Democratic primary in Connecticut.
I can't stand Joe Lieberman. It started back with the 2000 election - when he and Al caved. And it's gotten worse ever since - He's a DINO - a Democrat In Name Only. Remember when Bush gave him that Godfather like kiss after the State Of The Union Address? And he supports big money, big pharma, and despite his claims that he was opposed to the Bankruptcy Bill, he voted for cloture and helped end a filibuster.
Did I mention how he supports Bush's foreign policy? OK, so reason enough. Essentially, he's another Republican who occasionally votes with Democrats. He sunk to new lows when he declared that if the primary was close, he would run as an independent. That's putting self above party. His party and his state don't want him anymore. If he runs as an independent, well, he will siphon off votes from Lamont and we could lose the seat. He really should do the right thing.
By "close" a campaign spokesperson said he meant single digits.
Recently, he accused the Lamont campaign and those nasty bloggers of hacking his website. Surprisingly, other traffic on the same server was uninterrupted - including another site on the same sserver that bashed Ned Lamont. Details are still a little sketchy, but it does not appear that the site was hacked and furthermore, one report says he only had a low rent account and his bandwidth was exceeded. It smells like a Karl Rove sort of trick to me to leak a story like that to the press - it will introduce doubt in people's minds and by the time the truth is discovered, the election is over. Kind of like Swift Boating.
I also believe that electronic voting machines can, have been, and continue to be manipulated by Republicans to change election outcomes.
OK - Are you ready for it? Here's my PCT: The election was manipulated so that it was close enough for Joe to run as an independent. If he had announced that he was going to respect the will of the people and step aside if he lost, the outcome would have been manipulated so that he would have won. They kept it just close enough so that he could claim the web site "hack" cost him the election. Or out of state influence from MoveOn.org cost him the election.
Or whatever.
That's my paranoid conspiracy theory and I'm sticking to it.
