Beware the polls!
Right now, a lot of us are looking at the polls and smiling. For so long, it looked like we all knew who would win and who would lose, especially as the media seemed to do everything short of wearing "vote for McCain" t-shirts. However, I come to sound a different tune; do NOT trust those dam-ed polls! They are meant to give people a very false sense of security, so that people let up when they need to act up!

The polls once said it was "inevitable" that Hillary would not only win the Democratic Nomination, but also the presidency, handily beating her rival, Rudy Guiliani. The Polls, as scientific as they may CLAIM to be, are meant to get deliberate responses. They do not take into account places like Florida, where Charlie Crist is using an ID scheme to make sure people who recently registered have their votes rolled off the rolls. Gee, most of those newly registered happen to be democrat, what a coincidence. Rest assured, in places like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida, the churches will be doing their best to make people believe they will go to Hell if they vote democrat, and keep polishing the Halo of Sarah Palin, because they know that it would be easy for John to have a "heart attack" and put in their answer to Joan of Arc. Most of all, the politicians will do any scheme to intimidate, you know those Good Old Boy sheriffs will be out there in the mirrorshades, just like they are at GOP rallies.

f you think that there will be any serious investigation of electoral tricks down here, I have some prime swampland in Florida to sell you. Mad Floridian and I would agree, the GOP would approve of democratic headquarter being built on said swampland, right after they let the gators in! What is worse, is that while many so-called democrats appear to have gotten on the Obama train, the questions still remains, if it comes down to a fight, will they support their party, or do what they usually do and make yet another Faustian deal with the same GOP "friends" they are already in Bed with half the time?

Now, I am not trying to rain on anyone's parade. It has been a long, dry summer in America, and any good news is welcome. It is refreshing to know that many of the same people that blew cigar smoke in our faces four years ago are seeing their dollars shrink. Now they realize they better scamper on our ship before they drown like rats! However, The enemy does not sleep, and they will pull anything and everything out. Watch Fox as they try to paint a rich white senator as the underdog, or while they point to yesterday's spike as proof that the economy is back! Really? we are only 700 points lower than normal, and it is time to break out the Cristal? Oh, that's right, the fact that many ordinary Americans are still suffering never mattered to Fox news. Therein lies the power of the enemy, while YOU look at polls, read articles, to try and determine how you should act, they act on faith and gut feeling, which is why, no matter what the polls say, they will be prepared to tear into your face like hungry rats!

1. The polls are just another form of lies to "keep the game interesting" for the public.
MSM & pundits must keep the interest going to rake in $. It's just a national soap opera.
