The hardest thing to grasp in an election is, we are the deciding factor. It is not the News Media, not the out of touch mob in Washington. It's all our decision at the moment we vote. There we make history, decide the fate of America and our republic. No one can intimdate us as we cast our ballot. Why allow anyone to intimidate us now? But many will say "My one vote does not matter."
Every vote matters, has some effect on the outcome of any national election, particularly in close elections. So do not throw away your chance to vote as a result of manufactured public opinion. The 1976 election turned out to be one of the closest in history. It was decided by approximately 50,000 votes across America. I remember watching the returns that night and hearing a surprisingly frank admission from a reporter covering the results. He said if just one person had voted differently in each precinct, the eletoral vote would have shifted and Ford would have won instead of Carter in the electoral college. But everyone (in the News Media) was saying, over and over, that we needed a change from Nixon and Watergate and eight years of Republican leadership for just enough people (living or dead, real or phantom) to elect Carter. So we ended up with change, the same vague change promised again this year. We ended up with arguably one of the worst presidents in our country's history and the Misery Index. Don't let history repeat itself.
This year, the stakes are higher, but so is the need for our resolve. Why should we reward Obama for his lies and ACORN for its systematic voter fraud? The race is still close in several states and on a national level. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette published a map of America on the cover of yesterday's Sunday edition (10-26-08) showing the same general map the Media trots out every election year, along with their pompous assumptions and lack of color sence. Pennsylvania, my home state, is shown in blue and declared to be solidly for Obama. Pennsylvania is in play this year after Obama's comments accusing us of clinging to our faith and guns and having antipathy for those who are different. No, Sen. Obama, it is your lack empathy or understanding for the people of Pennsylvania. John Murtha also has shown a disconnect and lack of understanding of residents of Southwestern Pennsylvania, including his own constinuency as he accused us of being racist. He is now in a race with a serious Republican challenger named Lt. Col. Bill Russell. Perhaps his Johnstown area seat needs a change to a new representative of the people. The state legislature is in need of a bit of house cleaning in both houses because of a bonus scandal among Democrat members.
The map also shows Frlorida as a toss up state. Bush won Florida overwehlmingly four years ago, after the Democrats tried to steal the election there in 2000. That year, the contest was over Ohio, which Bush also won, with around 200,000 votes. It's interesting to note that is about the same number of bogus new ballots ACORN has been charged with trying to register. Ohio is, meanwhile, leaning toward McCain, not Obama, but still it is colored in light blue on the map and supposedly leaning Democrat.
This should not discourage us, nor should the polls. Remember, there are three types of lies: a lie, a damn lie and statistics. Polls are statistice which can be easily manipulated with garbage in, garbage out.
The only polls that matter are the election polls on election day. In the polling booth, we decide, when we turn out in large enough numbers and surprise the News Media, who will say again America threw a hissy fit; just as they did in 1994 when we surprised them and made them throw their own hysterics. Is it any wonder newspaper circulation, most for liberal papers, is down 4.6% in just the last six months. I just heard that on the radio as I wrote this post. Realize we are the majority, we decide on Nov. 4th and start a revolution to take back part of the Federal government, or we put up with the lies for the next four to eight years.
P.S.-In regard to the map, the emphasis is now on the electoral votes. I thought the electoral votes didn't matter after Florida. But it does now, which means the popular vote is close, so vote in your precinct and tip the electoral vote to elect McCain and Palin. Don't believe the Gobblist News. Be a contrarian to popular opinion and think for yourself.
