Funny stuff about Maine

So I went to this website about the Maine caucus:

http://www.2012presidentialelectionnews.com/2012/02/romney-wins-maine-caucus-and-cpac-straw-poll/

There were some great/funny comments on that page. Surfisher was classic. Here are some of them:

Spot on! We used to send US observers in Nicaragua to monitor fairness of elections there.

Maybe it's time to ask some Nicaraguans to come here and do the same for us….

The only way to prevent real voter fraud is to get a receipt.

When I invest into a product — buying a steak at the supermarket per say — they give me a receipt for my investment (shows the item code# and the date and time of my investment (purchasing in good faith, upon accountability by vendor, that I received the right product))!

Elections MUST be held to at least the same standard as buying groceries — when people invest into their Right To Vote, give them a VALID receipt for their investment!

If States can issue millions of Lottery Tickets weekly, that cannot be forged — why not be FORCED to do the same during the rare elections?!

Only way to prevent the "foul play, voter fraud" cry.

LOIS — correct. But the media awarded a victory to Mitt. That is the perception they want (since even if Ron Paul is declared eventual winner in a few weeks, it will be "old news").

Since it is all perception (and not truth) that elitist believe win elections, it is the main media's job to create illusion (what they do best).
