Presidential Polls? I Don’t Believe Them!

Change. Hope. Believe. Never before has an American presidential candidate's personal history been so obscured. Will certain forces have their way and install Barack Obama as America's next president or will voters rise up and let their voices be heard at the election booth on November 4th?

Election Day is fast approaching and I, for one, will be glad when it is all over.

This election cycle was ridiculously long, dating back to about January 2007 when the intentions of several of the candidates was made known.  At the beginning of this year I had Rudy Guiliani and Hillary Clinton squaring off for presidential honors, but we’ve been left instead with John McCain, Barack Obama, and a handful of third party candidates from which to choose the next president of these United States.

The Running Mates

I’ve been amused at how the whole campaign process has unfolded over the past few months, particularly as Barack Obama selected Delaware Senator Joe Biden as his running mate while John McCain chose Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his veep selection. The amusing part is the mainstream media who has clearly demonstrated that they want Barack Obama to be our next president. I could be aggravated by their one sidedness, but have chosen not to be — they’re making a pitiful attempt to influence the outcome of elections on all levels.

With their influence, the mainstream media (MSM) has been peddling distortions, exaggerations, and some outright lies over the past few weeks. Little, if anything is directed at our mystery candidate, Barack Obama — instead, just about every attack is focused on the McCain-Palin ticket, with the harshest criticism given to the Alaska governor. Obama has never been fully vetted and the MSM continually covers up his many associations with some of the most unseemly characters out there.

Give Up! Obama Has Won!

Lately, we’ve been hearing a trend being played out by the MSM in a renewed bid to influence how you vote. Specifically, we’ve heard news that an Irish bookie was already paying out to people who bet on Obama, figuring that the junior senator from Illinois has the election locked up. We’ve also heard stories about how Obama will win in a landslide and also have discovered Obama’s plan to meet with Congress in November to push through legislation including a possible stimulus package.

To hear this sort of news makes you think that the election is in Obama’s bag, but I’m here to tell you that this election is very close and that the media types want to discourage you from voting in the first place. Especially if you support the Republican ticket.

Destroying Joe the Plumber

If Obama and Company was so confident that they were going to win, he would be in seclusion until Election Day to avoid the possibility of saying something damaging along the lines of his over the top conversation with Joe the Plumber earlier this month. Just look at how vicious the left has been as they ripped this guy apart, an ordinary Joe who helped reveal Obama’s socialist agenda for all of the world to hear, “…and I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

The person whom the Democrats have been trying to put a lid on is Joe Biden who pegs the gaffe meter like no other candidate. Biden’s curious remarks recently that Obama would be tested via a major crisis should get everyone’s attention — would terrorists, rogue nations, or communist dictatorships dare to do the same with John McCain in the White House? I think not!

Let’s Riot — The Election Was Stolen

Perhaps the worst thing being bandied about lately is the call from some quarters to unleash civil protest should Obama lose. Some people are thinking that the Republicans will steal the election (just like they did in 2000 and 2004 — ) and that Obama will be the upset loser. Saying that some will riot if Obama loses demonstrates just how crazy things are getting.

Let me tell you this: if Obama does lose it is because the American people have figured out that he is much too dangerous a person to run our country — untested, untried, and very mysterious. The thought that both the Administration and Congress might be controlled by a veto-proof Democratic Party with a far-left agenda is sending shudders up and down the spine of voters, with the potential to force gay marriage on the country, remove any restrictions on abortion, and raise taxes across the board.

Is McCain the ideal candidate? No, because some of his policies are clearly in opposition of what conservative voters want, but to vote for Obama or throw away a vote by choosing a third-party candidate is unthinkable, especially this year when the stakes are so high.

Raising (Mc)Cain

Once McCain is in office, the pressure should be on him to keep his promises and quit kissing up to the far left. Sure, go ahead and build a coalition that includes Joe Lieberman and some of the more moderate thinking Democrats, but watch your back: the extreme left will bash you like they’ve been doing to George Bush for eight years, spreading lies and undermining our troops, selling out the US to foreign interests, and pushing the most awful political agenda ever.

Above everything, don’t believe the polls — this year they’re likely to be more inacurrate than ever before as the push to “select” Obama mounts and the lies, distortions, and whackiness continues to grow as November 4th approaches.
