This is what gets me about the people who follow these nut job theories, when the events predicted never come to pass, these supporters never wise up and realize the people feeding them this BS have no special information and are only making a fast buck from their followers' stupidity and gullibility. Corsi and Jones' entire careers are based on this. But like a bad gambler who never learns to fold his cards, these followers are so desperate to believe there is some kind of international conspiracy that is keeping them down, they just double down and invest even more belief in the next ridiculous theory.

I think the people who desperately believe this stuff do so for one of two reasons:

A) they need to believe that there is some kind of global conspiracy holding them back from the fortune or standing they feel they should have earned in life, because they do not want to take responsibility for their own failures; and

B) they are so misinformed or out of touch with reality, that they cannot accept that their political views, ideals, or values are not mainstream and are not shared by everybody.

FDR was a commie. There's no denying that. But he won the election(s). Through propaganda (aka:Marketing) and salesmanship, the people bought the better marketed product. Same thing with Obama. He was sold to America by a master marketer, Oprah. Every single loser she's endorsed from Dr.Phil, to The Hollywood Doctor, to Obama has turned out to be a lemon and fraud yet people keep buying it.

If you want to argue that people are gullible fools who are easily herded you'll get no argument from me but since the sheep were given the vote, there is no arguing that they did not in fact vote FDR into the office. Unwritten rules are not rules.

There is no massive conspiracy to control people, they do it to themselves.

So freakin' what? That is not proof there was no election. FDR was a great politician. So was Lincoln. Again, so what?

Bad investments, the bursting of economic bubbles, and downturns in the economy do not a conspiracy make

It sounds more like Jerome Coris wants to cancel the elections. He probably never saw the episode of The Odd Couple where Felix Unger explains why you should never assume.
