US election: Corruption key issue by voters in exit polls
US ELECTION: CORRUPTION KEY ISSUE BY VOTERS
US WAR PROPAGANDA SEWER CNN: ''But when asked which issue was extremely important to their vote, more voters said corruption and ethics in government than any other issue, including the war, according to national exit polls.''
FPF-COMMENT: Even if the 'Democrats' got both the House and the Senate, many like me are very much afraid that basically not very much will change in the US junta's policy for power and profit towards the rest of us in the real world. The Democrats for 99% have all those infamous years fully supported and voted for the US and the further building of it's Evil Empire with 'front man' Bush. And 99% - including Pelosi - voted for the Patriot Act and other fascist laws, knowing who pays them: who is holding the gold and thus the power.
Apart from that, the Democrat's $millions to beat Bush (?) have been gathered by backer and gatekeeper, Democratic apparatchik Rahm Emmanuel and the corporate toadies he represents. Ominously, Emmanuel, a relict of the Clinton White House, heads the Democratic National Campaign Committee, and has the full support of his family in Israel, and what are called the 'Federal Reservist' in New York on Wall Street.
It ought to be a matter of fact and easy to understad for all people with a functioning brain, that all perpetrators of war crimes, like Rumsfeld or his successor, the likewise criminal ex CIA boss Gates, must be charged with all crimes against humanity they are guilty of. Those compliant political creatures and the origin of the global misery, the financing usurers and war profiteers and all their collaborators and war propagandists in the media, anywhere on earth, must be punished for their unbelievable criminality. They are murderers of mankind.
A MALIGNANCY NEVER SEEN ON EARTH BEFORE.
To give another example: Nancy Pelosi, the new 'Speaker of the House', also is the $multi-million rich wife of banker Paul, and is now hard sold as the ''Great White Hope'' for a 'democratic' USA. Well, by thinking people the world over she is not expected to make any big change with her club. Her daughter Alexandra did not explain which disgusting dictator he was, but made a PR movie about George Bush and got 6 Emmy nominations. As far as is known, millionaires hardly ever are democrats in the global sense of the word. And concerning other genocides by the US war machine's covert and other actions in South America, Washington journalist Chris Hertz wrote:
"But, unfortunately, it is with perfect safety that we can predict that all that will happen is an even more bellicose rejection of the rights of Latin American nations to democratically elect their own leaders; if the voters there should be so unwise as to reject Washington's neo-liberal prescriptions. Nancy Pelosi, who will now assume leadership of the House of Representatives, is on the record as calling Venezuela's president "a thug" ... and should the upper house, the Senate, fall into the hands of her party, whichever person becomes majority leader there will echo her."
However, since the US apparently has exported so much 'democracy' (with millions of victims everywhere) that nothing is left in the country itself for the US americans, according to this CNN item there was another thing - apart from the gas price at the pump - that mattered for the voters:
CORRUPTION NAMED AS KEY ISSUE BY VOTERS IN EXIT POLLS
(CNN) -- By a wide margin, Americans who voted Tuesday in the midterm election say they disapprove of the war in Iraq.
BUT WHEN ASKED WHICH ISSUE WAS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO THEIR VOTE, MORE VOTERS SAID CORRUPTION AND ETHICS IN GOVERNMENT THAN ANY OTHER ISSUE, INCLUDING THE WAR, ACCORDING TO NATIONAL EXIT POLLS.
A large majority of voters also disapproved of how Congress and President Bush are doing their jobs. However, Bush fared slightly better on that score than members of the GOP-led Congress.
And defying the traditional political maxim that "all politics is local," 62 percent of voters said national issues mattered more than local issues when deciding which House candidate to pick. (Watch how national issues are playing a more critical role than local issues, which could favor the Democrats -- 2:19 - see CNN link below)
These numbers are based on interviews conducted with voters on Tuesday morning and afternoon.
Exit poll interviewers, working on behalf of the Associated Press, CNN and four other networks, were stationed at about 1,000 precincts around the country Tuesday, asking voters to describe themselves and their opinions on important issues.
For the first time, media representatives were restricted at the computer facility where the data was being collected to prevent any early disclosure.
Asked which issues were extremely important to their vote, 42 percent said corruption and ethics; 40 percent, terrorism; 39 percent, the economy; 37 percent, Iraq; 36 percent, values; and 29 percent, illegal immigration.
As Democrats had hoped, among voters who were against the war in Iraq, almost nine out of 10 said they chose a Democratic House candidate.
But those who approved of the war chose the Republicans by nearly the same margin.
And despite Republican attempts to paint the Democrats as unable to handle terrorism, a majority of voters said they believed both parties were capable of handling that issue.
Asked if they approved of how Congress is handling its job, 62 percent said they did not, while just 36 percent said they did.*
Despite good economic news in recent days (FPF: total lies!) that GOP leaders hoped would boost their fortunes, voters were split nearly equally on whether the economy is in good or poor shape, according to the early exit poll results.
The exit polls showed that 29 percent of voters felt their families' financial situations were better than they were two years ago, while 25 percent said they were worse and 45 percent said they were unchanged.
Those who said their financial condition hadn't changed chose Democratic House candidates over Republicans, 57 percent to 40 percent. That number increased to 79 percent among those who said their financial condition was worse.
Of the voters who thought their economic prospects had improved, 70 percent voted for Republican House candidates.
