Polls & Surveys Are Untrustworthy
I received a survey call this evening. The caller asked if I would participate by answering 6 to 8 quick questions.
I agreed.
The first question was, “Do you have a favorable or unfavorable view of Hillary Clinton?”
I answered, “Unfavorable.”
Guess he didn’t like that answer, because he hung up.
That’s why I don’t trust surveys or polls. I think the surveying companies will call until they get what they consider the right answer. And all the people they spoke to who didn’t answer correctly, won’t be counted, which of course will skew the results.
So all the polls out there now on the election are BS, in my opinion.
I’ll wait until the votes are counted but in the back of my mind, I’ll wonder how much cheating went on.
It’s really sad that I’ve become so skeptical.

The Donald vs. Hil-liar-y
In watching the race to the White House the past few months,
I believe the candidates for presidency will be Hil-liar-y Clinton and Donald Trump.
I predict Trump will win.
The Donald isn’t a politician and that’s what makes him the most appealing to so many angry Americans. It doesn’t matter that
he supported Democrats in the past. It doesn’t matter that he filed bankruptcy
a few times or that he outsources to China, Japan, Honduras and Brazil. It
doesn’t matter that he’s been married three times and had an affair on Ivana,
his first wife. It doesn’t even make a difference that he’s rude and obnoxious
and English appears to be his second language.
The only thing that matters is he’s tapped into millions of ticked off Americans’ emotions.
I also believe that not having the establishment and GOP
rallying behind Trump is an advantage. It just reinforces he’s not a
politician.
And that’s going
to win him the presidency.

Pennsylvania Election Day ~ April 26th, 2016
Tomorrow is primary election day in five states, including mine, Pennsylvania.
I won’t be voting.
When I first registered to vote, I was 19 and wanted my notary license. I registered as an Independent because at that age, I wasn’t sure what I was. In 2007, I changed to Republican. But the last two primaries were already decided before they even got to Pennsylvania. I changed back to Independent last summer.
Lo and behold, we have a primary in Pennsylvania and I can’t vote.
I’m not too bent out of shape about it. I’m not happy with the candidates—on either side.
I do think Trump is going to win my state. And while I’m not thrilled with that, I totally understand why people are supporting and voting for him. He’s not a politician. The American people are furious with our politicians and government in general, and want someone who isn’t the status quo or the establishment.
I just don’t know if Trump will really make a difference. And I truly believe we need someone in the White House who will respect our Constitution, curb our spending, and keep this country safe from terrorism, along with fix the illegal immigration problem.
There are many issues that need addressed, but those are my top priority.
At this point, though, I won’t hold my breath on any of it.

I Voted For My Country
I just arrived home from my polling station.
I have to tell you, I felt excited when I cast my vote!
It’s such a blessing living in this country, where courageous
men and women defend our rights and freedoms.
If you haven’t voted, please, make sure that you do. If you
aren’t registered, please register. You may not be able to vote this year, but you will be able to vote in future elections, and trust me, they are
important. YOUR vote, and voice, is important.
Some say it’s a duty to vote.
I believe it’s an honor.

A Sock Full Of Popcorn Over Obama
My husband and I are always complaining that WE aren’t ever involved in any of the polling that we hear about on the news.
Well, the other day I answered the phone and someone on the
other end requested my husband. I asked who was calling, lo and behold, it was
someone polling for the Obama Administration. I handed the phone to my husband
saying, “Oh you’ll want this call!”
According to my husband, the conversation went like so:
Pollster: Will you be voting for President Obama this
election?
My Husband: There’s no way in hell.
Pollster: So I can put you down for Obama then?
My Husband: I said no way. As a matter of fact, I would vote
for a sock full of popcorn before I voted for Obama.
Pollster: I don’t think you can vote for a sock full of popcorn.
My Husband: I’ll write it in.
I have no idea what the pollster actually marked considering
he didn’t take the first NO my husband told him, which makes me totally suspect
of the polls the media spews.
I believe I’ll ignore
the polls and wait until the night of the election to see who the winner will
be and if it’s a sock full of popcorn, we’ll know my husband was the deciding
vote.

Operation Uphold Truth
John Zeigler did a poll, which is a prelude to a documentary he’s preparing called Media Malpractice. After watching this video you’ll see that it’s appropriately named.
Watching that video was actually excruciating for me. It was painful to keep my anger at bay. I knew the bias-left-winged media was lax in reporting the truth about Obama’s associations. I knew the media was negatively slamming Sarah Palin just as SNL was using her to boost their ratings. It’s just that actually seeing proof of the media’s negligence is so horribly disturbing. I mean people actually voted without knowing who controls Congress for Pete’s sake! I’m not a Political genius, but I do know who’s in control of Congress; who our Speaker of the House is; who the Democratic majority leader is; and I know who said what during the damn election.
Why do I know? Not because I watch Fox News. But because I’ve researched and dug and read until my eyes burned. Just because the news said it’s so doesn’t mean it’s so. Don’t get me wrong, I like Fox News and I think they’re pretty fair-however, they are the media and I trust the media only a tad more than I trust the government-which isn’t much.
I’m appalled at how absolutely stupid so many Americans are. They think because MSNBC or NPR reported it it's gospel. What morons! I don’t even watch my local news stations. They describe Breaking News as 100 cats found in a house-Owner being charged with animal cruelty. And that affects me and a million other people how? Heck, even the weather forecast is wrong 80% of the time!
The media’s responsibility is to report information that affects the population. In an election the media is responsible to report all the facts about all the candidates- positive and negative. They are fraudulent distorting a story to favor one candidate over another. And they are negligent if they purposely omit information that is relevant.
It is apparent the media did a damn good job of omitting plenty of information regarding Obama and it’s obvious they were diligent in skewing information about Sarah Palin. It’s evident my fellow Bloggers and I have our work cut out for us. We need to Spread the Truth and OUT (Operation Uphold Truth) the media, because the Left’s mission is to stifle the facts.
So, let’s get going, Bloggers, and OUT the media!

Let our Eagle Soar
I’ve always believed that for an Eagle to soar free and majestic about our great nation it needs a left and right wing. That being said, we Americans need a left and right viewpoint in our democracy to balance out our politics. In about 24 hours our Eagle will take flight with a new vision for our nation. I can only hope that its left wing isn’t severely damaged and it can fly as balanced and glorious as our Founding Fathers, in their remarkable foresight, believed it should.

Joe Quacks Again
At a rally in Greeley, Colorado, Senator Biden referred to the 3rd Presidential debate when John McCain told Barack Obama that he wasn’t George Bush. Joe Biden said of McCain, “He doth protest too much.” Excuse me; McCain said it ONCE, Joe! Oh, wait, I forgot, Joe can’t count. Biden went on to tell a story about his younger years when he wanted to hang out with an unsavory bunch and his mother told him no, because you are the company you keep. He tried the old argument that he wouldn’t act like them. His mother said, “Joe, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it’s a duck.” Biden told his crowd, “If it looks like George Bush and acts like George Bush, then it’s the same old George Bush economic policies.” Well, he's finally admitting it! If it looks like Bill Ayers and acts like Bill Ayers, then it’s the same anti-American beliefs. Let’s take it one step further, if it looks like Reverend Wright and acts like Reverend Wright, then it’s the same anti-white radical beliefs. How about ACORN… I think you get my point. Every time Joe opens his mouth he proves Obama isn’t worthy, or prepared, for the White House. Keep on quacking, Joe.

Joe Said It’s So
Joe Biden has recently admitted to the American people that having Barack Hussein Obama as President of The United States of America insinuates we will be attacked so you better be prepared.
"Mark my words," Biden said Sunday at the second of two fundraisers in Seattle. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant, 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. ... Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."
Yippee-Skippee! Can’t wait to traipse out to the voter booth and pull the lever for Obama! I really want to test Obama's competence in a time of an international crisis. I’m really curious to experiment with our national security, aren’t you? I’m just fascinated to know this guy’s grit right smack in the middle of a national catastrophe. On the job training is just perfect for our Commander and Chief, don’t ya think?
Biden went on to say that, “I've forgotten more about foreign policy than most of my colleagues know." And he promises us that we’ll be sitting around asking why Obama will be down in the polls while President. Seems to me he’s forgotten not to let the public know how extremely stupid he sounds right about now. I mean really, to promise the American people an international crisis during an Obama Presidency which isn’t going to be administered properly which will lead the American people to question Obama’s judgment is just plain, well…stupid. But what can you expect from a man that can’t count? Senator Joe should remember more to keep his mouth shut, because his prophecies could very well be the downfall of this election. But hey, maybe that’s his intention. After all, Joe said he’d rather run against John McCain because the presidency isn’t something that lends itself to on the job training. Well, Joe said it’s so.
