Yes it seems to be the question of the day? Well, my article discussing the types of voters of a few weeks ago was confirmed recently in a leading newspaper. It was stated by a renown person that 50% of the electorate, that is those who actually take the time to vote are split right down the middle, really? So we are safe in assuming that will happen again. It is also most likely that Hispanic's, who make up about 15% of the population, have a 9 or 10% illegal ratio and hence that percentage will not vote, leaving about 8%. Blacks, who have slightly larger numbers will most likely vote in the majority for Obama. However even if you combine the two groups the white vote has the majority of registered voters who do get out and vote and they vote for the most part vote the way they always do, split.
Now just last evening I met a man who always voted Republican who is going to switch to Democrat. He has had enough of the Republicans. However, when I asked him for any solid reason why he thinks a Democrat would be better his answer was, "well the Republicans have gotten us into this mess and the Democrats can do no worse". When I asked him on what facts he based that on, he said "I don't know that is just the way I feel". Well what does that say about how we pick leaders? In my opinion he is in the majority.
Now when I asked him about issues, foreclosures, credit card usury, illegal immigration, the war, trade, jobs, he was against that all but didn't know the two parties combined were the engineers of it all. Yes right there in the public record for anyone interested in seeing. The trade deals, well the President doesn't need Congress. One could go on and on. So he asked what can anyone do? Yes it seems to be the question of the day.
So as I have said and many leading journalists have started to say, it doesn't matter who we really have as president, they are bookends when you get down to where the tire meets the road. Sure one has different tread but still the same worn out design. The battle with most registered voters who normally do not vote will be for Congress. So just what can we or must we do? Yes it seems to be the question of the day.
Well the only real choice you have is do nothing and reap what you sow, what you create what you do not want but allow to be, or you can do what I have been saying- Change Congress. Now that requires action.
First, you must spread the word as I have been. Yes to all you meet, ask, inform, tell, urge.
Secondly, use emails, letters, and any communication device possible to spread the word. Be it clubs, social gatherings, family events. You will find more in common with this concept then you realize.
The goal, change the BALANCE IN CONGRESS. This is essential. Break up the monopoly these two parties have who control the direction of this nation. It cannot be done with sitting at home whining and complaining and doing nothing. It just never will be. That 50% who do vote will give us exactly what we have. No change, no difference, more of the same. There is no other conclusion. They offer nothing but mere words and their deeds my friends speak to the opposite, their inaction speaks to the opposite. It is their facts that convict them.
So what can we expect in November. Well I am positive a Republican or Democrat will be president. A little humor here. However, my prediction, do not change Congress and we will have more of the same. Hey, I'd rather be wrong, sadly I haven't been, no, not ego just fact.
If you are like so many voting the opposite in protest then you must consider NOW an alternative. You have no real options then what I am presenting. To not share this, because the masses never hear this, means that most likely change will never happen, fact. Sorry it just won't, it can, but it won't.
Now if you have a better solution lets hear it? One can say no more. You are either for them or against and if against you must take action or lose. It is really as simple as that. So he asked what can anyone do? Yes it seems to be the question of the day.
