The General Election is less than one month away. The polls though scewed show Barack Obama with a lead and gaining ground if the polls are to be believed. Frankly the only truly accurate poll is the one that takes place on election day as voters enter and exit the polling booth bringing the final results of any election.

The $700 billion dollar bailout bill that is now being referred to as a, "rescue plan, " to try an convince Americans that it will rescue the economy, ( how dumb do they think we are?!?!?!), passed a first major hurdle on Thursday night as the Senate approved the package with a 74-24 vote.

After a completely partisan speech by Nancy Pelosi in which she blasted the Bush administration for the financial crisis hitting the markets today, the House defeated the $700 billion dollar bailout bill 228 - 205.

We have listened for more than a week now as Barack Obama and Democrats like Barney Frank and others continually blame John McCain, the Bush Administration and Republicans in general for the massive collapse on Wall Street that has taken place.

Unfortunatly this canard being spewed by Democrats is playing well with the American people in light of the $700 billion dollar bailout which is extremely unpopular and is being pushed by the Bush Administration. A move that because of continual Democrat obstruction over the past ten years in preventing Republicans from actually regulating Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac where this problem began then working its way through the financial system and providing regulatory oversight of these ,"government sponsored enterprises," which portrayed themselves as the guru of , "affordable housing," thus recieving backing by all Democrats and a few Republicans with Democrats accusing Republicans who were trying to regulate these GSE's of creating a witch hunt.

Last night I had to make a quick trip to the grocery store. While waiting at the check out, I noticed a clearance sale on a DVD rack that I had not noticed in this store before . Two thoughts went through my mind before I stepped over to the rack to look. First I thought, " everyone wants to get into the DVD business." Then, " what the heck, let's see what they have."

Throughout the past week Barack Obama has successfully portrayed himself as the ultimate economic expert and the great fixer of all of the economic woes that face our Nation. Using the crash of Wall Street giants and their involvement in the mortgage debacle as the catalyst of his economic scare tactics, Obama has managed to pull off one of his greatest deceptions during his Presidential campaign. Portraying himself as an economic genius, blaming all of the collapses of the past few weeks on the GOP, President Bush and John McCain.

Barack Obama has been playing off the fears that are running rampant in the market because of the collapse of several of Wall Streets major investment companies like Lehman Brothers. Attacking John McCain and trying to create the idea that McCain does not know what he is talking about and that he is ignorant when it comes to the economy.

The Barack Obama, Democrat no substance campaign has become the campaign desperately searching for a winning strategy but finding nothing but brick walls. At a time when strategy and a plan which has a singular direction for the final weeks before the election is necessary Barack Obama and the Democrats are scrambling to find something that works against a McCain/Palin ticket that has thrown them for a political loop.

Since the announcement of Governor Sarah Palin as John McCain's Vice Presidential running mate nearly two weeks ago she has been the focus of attacks from both the media and the Democrat Party. These attacks have been ridiculous and over board to the point that Americans on both sides of the political spectrum are angered about the direction and content of the attacks, even those who would never vote for McCain or support Palin.

Publicly they are not admitting it. The attacks against her continue. Their goal to destroy her is ongoing. While they are trying to look like they are in control and handling the situation with ease, the left and the Main Stream Media are running scared because of Sarah Palin. Why does this Hockey mom , Governor of the State of Alaska and now GOP Vice Presidential nominee strike fear and concern in those on the left ?
