Trends…

I thought I’d post some encouragement.
Yesterday, Gallup’s Traditional Likely Voters Daily Tracking Poll tightened to a 2 point race and Rasmussen’s Likely Voters Daily Tracking Poll tightened to a 3 point race.
Today, Fox’s Opinion Dynamics Poll (weekly) tightened to a 3 point race.
So, the importance of those numbers? Well, first of all, they should all be taken with a grain of salt, just like any other poll, favorable or not, because any number of factors can come into play that could skew the results. What this does mean is that the polls are still in flux (Gallup and Rasmussen changed again today), and that this race is very much winnable.
However, each of these polls has its results within the margin of error, which means this race is statistically tied. This race is tightening, and we’re trending toward McCain in these last days.
It’s all thanks to the wisdom of the average American citizen (aka Joe the Plumber), the rest of us are finally seeing “The Real Barack Obama” and his radical and naïve ideas for our future. Obama wants to take money that you have worked hard for and give it freely to whomever he chooses, without any input from you! He wants to grow the government and make it king. Truth is, history has shown that we’re generally better off when government gets out of our lives and lets us control our own destinies, an idea that Obama doesn’t seem to like.
We, as a country, are liking it more and more, however. That same Fox Opinion Dynamics Poll showed McCain’s economic and favorability numbers up dramatically, while Obama’s have been weakening. Those are encouraging facts to consider in this last week. We have five days to save the future of this country.
There are a few things you can do right now to help save America from the throes of socialism.
- Donate today to the National Republican Trust PAC. This group is running hard-hitting ads that tie (rightfully so) Barack Obama to the “Rev.” Jeremiah Wright and tell the truth about Obama’s plan to give the 16 million illegal aliens driver’s licenses, benefits, and eventually amnesty, effectively giving them citizenship for free. They’ve raised 4 million in about three days, but they need about 2 million more to start running these ads in five more states and on national broadcast networks.
- Make Calls for the McCain campaign to encourage undecided voters to vote for the clear choice this November, Senator John McCain. Also, your calls will remind those voters who requested early ballots to turn them in. If they don’t mail them back in by today, there’s a great likelihood that they won’t be received in time to count, and once you’ve requested an early ballot, you cannot vote at the polls in many states.
- Call your local GOP or McCain headquarters and ask how you can help. Many HQs need help stuffing door hanger literature drop bags (my local HQ still needs 6,000 stuffed) and/or calling voters who requested early ballots and still have not voted (in my small Kansas community, there are 2,000 Republicans/Independents leaning Republican who requested early ballots and have not voted [see above]).
- Donate to either the RNC or the McCain-Palin Victory 2008 fund. With Obama not accepting public financing, McCain needs all of the extra support he can muster so his federal funds can be used for get-out-the-vote activities. The RNC is also running some ads on McCain’s behalf, so we need to make sure we support them.
- Pray for a McCain-Palin win. This is perhaps the most important step. I truly believe that they are the best choice for restoring our nation the “shining city on a hill” that Reagan used to talk about (before my time!), but also, I believe they are the best choice for putting our country back on God’s path, and I believe he will bless our prayers. Besides simply praying for their victory, I also pray specifically for McCain wins in West Virginia, North Carolina, Missouri, Colorado, Virginia, Nevada, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Mexico. All but the last two are considered “battleground” states, and the last two I think would be great morale-boosters. Praying specifically against Barack Obama and his deceitfulness and socialism is also a very good idea.
Remember, no matter what these opinion polls say, the only poll that matters is the one taken on November 4th, which means, vote! Take your McCain friends with you and swing this election in favor of capitalism, the free markets, government reform, integrity, and transparency, and true democracy.
Vote McCain-Palin on November 4th.
What McCain must Do
Posted by caleb on Oct 13, 2008 in Presidential Election 2008
I am not in the camp that believes this election is over yet. I believe that McCain can still win this most historic contest, and I sincerely hope he does. However, it appears to me that all Sen. McCain has been doing to win is hope, and, unfortunately, hope alone doesn’t cut it (Faith without works is dead, folks).
Today, Obama introduced a socialistic plan to help the economy recover. I say “recover” is not the correct word… decompose into a government-run cocktail party is more like it (but that’s for another article). Its best facet was its (at least on the surface, if you don’t believe in fact-checking) simplicity. It had only four points, so I’m going to outline a four-point plan for McCain to win the presidency.
McCain’s Four-Point Plan for Victory:
- Set Sarah free. Only by letting the American people see how intelligent, likeable, and ready to lead your choice for VP is will they regain their trust in her. Sarah can hold her own! Remember, she is a pit bull, and she’s proven that she make the Left so scared they have to make stuff up just to stay afloat. She is the future of the Republican Party and the Conservative movement. We like her, so give us more.
- Get a clear message out about the economy and your hope for the country’s future. McCain, we know you can do it, but we’ve yet to hear any semblance of an easy-to-understand economic plan for the country. I say scrap all your current plans (Obama’s done it) and start over from square one. Then let us know if one of those press conferences (see number four) and soon.
- On the periphery, spread the news about Obama’s socialist ideals and questionable friends, but don’t let it be your main image. The American people deserve to know the truth about Barack Obama. Please make sure you follow through with your attacks. This is Presidential politics: it’s supposed to get a little nasty. Trust me, it’s okay.
- Hold press conferences everywhere you stop (Sarah, too) and be in constant communication with the media. When you’re elected, you’re going to have to deal with them, so why not begin now? Besides, without the media, we normal folks will never hear anything about you or your policies. Whoops! There go your poll numbers!
There’s a number five, too, but that one’s really for all of us. Every night at 8:00 CT (that’s 9:00 ET and 6:00 PT), please stop whatever you’re doing and pray for our nation, for the election, and for the safety of our troops. God answers prayer; it may not be the answer we’re looking for (McCain-Palin being elected), but it’s the right thing to do anyway. We know that no matter what happens, he’ll protect us. Remember, however, that protection doesn’t necessarily mean carefree life- we’d still have to deal with the troubles of an Obama presidency. We’d just know that, thankfully, Heaven awaits us, where no socialist idea exists!
