IBD/TIPP, the most accurate poll in the 2004 election, shows a really tight race:

McCain has cut into Obama’s lead for a second day and is now just 1.1 points behind. The spread was 3.7 Wednesday and 6.0 Tuesday. The Republican is making headway with middle- and working- class voters, and has surged 10 points in two days among those earning between $30,000 and $75,000. He has also gone from an 11-point deficit to a 9-point lead among Catholics.

According to their poll, 11.6% are not sure who they would vote for.

So, if this poll is accurate, how is it possible that roughly 1 out of 10 voters are still undecided?

My thoughts: Considering that the political winds highly favor Democrats this year, if Obama hasn’t sealed the deal with 11.6% of voters yet then these voters have major concerns with Obama.

Legitimately so.

That being said, I believe a significant majority of those last minute undecideds will pull the lever for John McCain.

I know most polls give a comfortable lead to Obama, But in my heart, I can’t see this country electing Barack Hussein Obama. This isn’t a sociology experiment. This is the most important office in the country… the world, in fact. Barack can only dream of being 1/10th the man John McCain is.

Texas Rainmaker posts the evidence that confirms Barack Hussein Obama was a member of the Socialist “New Party.”

Otherwise known as The American Left:

A 20-year-old woman who was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield was also maimed by her attacker, police said.

Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard tells Channel 4 Action News that the victim was robbed at knifepoint on Wednesday night outside of a Citizens Bank near Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street just before 9 p.m.

Richard said the robber took $60 from the woman, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim’s car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter “B” into her face, Richard said.

And Obama is their Hitler:

“I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face,” he said.

The American Left, if we let them win, will usher in a new era of fascism that will rival George Orwell’s dystopian vision in 1984. 

I am not being dramatic… The story above is hardly unique. I am merely responding to the truth that is very much in plain sight. I am dead serious.

God help us if Obama wins.

UPDATE: There are doubts being raised in the blogosphere about the legitimacy of the woman’s claim. The questions are certainly fair, and we will see what the investigation finds. Of course, as the victim of a politically motivated assault back in 2004, I find the premise of the story plausible. Even if it turns out to be a hoax, it still doesn’t change the fact that the American Left has become more extreme, violent, and intolerant. Mark informed me the other day that tires were slashed at a Sarah Palin rally in Las Vegas this past week. And there have been stories of vandalized cars and homes. There is even a story of a house being shot at for having McCain signs.

UPDATE, by Mark Noonan: As for me, I believe the story – it was reported out here in Las Vegas that some of the people who attended the Palin rally and had McCain/Palin stickers on their cars suffered tire-slashing. The left’s MO has long been this sort of thuggish intimidation – they want people to be afraid to speak their minds and openly proclaim their views in the public square. This sort of situation tends to make people doubt their own views – feeling isolated and surrounded by people who loudly proclaim the other side, it is easy for a person to think, “perhaps I’m just out of step?”. Its why the left also wants to excise all mention of God from the public square – they want that square reserved entirely for the leftwing party line so they no longer have to deal with those troublesome people who dare to disagree.

I’d like to believe that Obama would put a stop to this sort of thing but the pupil of Ayers will only view this as first-rate “community organizing”. We have a real big fight on our hands, and we must win – but, also, keep in mind that if we do win and Obama and his minions are in shell-shocked defeat on November 5th, it won’t be the end of it. These leftists and acolytes of Obama have convinced themselves the he’s already won, and it will be impossible to unconvince them – if they’ll perpetrate violence pre-election when they think they’re winning, imagine what they may do post-election if they are convinced the election was stolen from them.

UPDATE II, by Mark Noonan: Another example of leftwing savagery:

LONGWOOD, Fla. — The home of a Central Florida Republican headquarters manager was shot up and damaged over his support of Sen. John McCain, the man told police.

Rog Coverely said several pellets pierced his Longwood home. Coverely showed several spiderwebbed-holes in the front windows of his home.

The Republican manager said he is convinced he was targeted because of new McCain signs he added around his home.

“All I can tell you is this, I have a very good relationship with my neighbors,” Coverely said. “I mow my lawn. The only thing that has changed is I have two McCain signs in my front yard.”

Coverely said he has taken about 300 calls concerning stolen or vandalized McCain signs in the area.

“It says this campaign is getting vicious,” Coverely said.

Coverely said it appears Democrats are becoming more aggressive in the county.

“I wouldn’t say slipping, but I would say the Democrats have become far more aggressive in Seminole County because it is such a heavy Republican area,” Coverely said.

Its important – he called our Marines murderers, he’s called his fellow Pennsylvanians a bunch of racists. The man is a corrupt barnacle on the body politic and he needs to go.

Mark Hemmingway has the scoop on the man trying to save the United States Congress from two more years of the shame of Murtha.

And no better way to do it than with Our Lady of Guadalupe:

A photo of Senator John McCain in front of the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe has drawn mixed reviews from Hispanic voters around the country. Some claim it shows his attempt to reach out to Hispanics…

…The photo, which was displayed by groups at the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, has been sized-down and printed on hand-held cards. These cards are being handed out by Republican supporters to attract the support of Hispanics, a group currently dominated by Senator Barack Obama in swing-state polls, reports the Las Vegas Star.

Xavier Rivas, who has one of the cards, maintains that it illustrates McCain’s attempt to reach out to the Hispanic population in the United States. The message it sends, he explains, is that Our Lady of Guadalupe “represents a symbol of our culture, our feelings … and (the photo) is sending a signal to Mexican-Americans that McCain is saying, ‘I know and care about your community’.”

One voter, Fernando Romero, says the card gives him a better feeling about McCain. “He made the effort to visit something spiritual that is in the hearts of all Mexicans.”

Some of you are going, “who is Our Lady of Guadalupe”? Go here to find out.

Of course, tying yourself to the Blessed Virgin doesn’t hurt you with the rest of the Catholic faithful, either – I’m not hispanic, but in my wallet I have a card with the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe on it. And, in fact, I can’t remember the last day when I didn’t ask Our Lady for some help in some way – its pretty much a common thing among Catholics.

It is almost certain that a majority of hispanic voters will vote for Obama – mostly because they are misinformed about what he really plans to do plus the relentless propaganda from leftwing hispanic groups to the effect that the GOP is racist and doesn’t like hispanic people. Be that as it may, at the core of hispanic America is the Christian faith, and among its strongest symbols is Our Lady. Obama is, indeed, a brother in Christ, but one wonders just what sort of falsehoods might have seeped into Obama’s being via the poisoned tongue of Jeremiah Wright? Given the positions of the two candidates, it is my view that a believing Christian only has one course open to him on November 4th – to vote for John McCain. It is my prayer that my brothers and sisters of hispanic descent and origin will consider carefully what is at stake, and vote based on those truths we know, rather than the false promises of the political left Obama represents.

I am all for this, but I can’t help but wonder why ACORN was getting federal funds to begin with…

House Republican leader John Boehner on Wednesday urged President Bush to block all federal funds to a grass-roots community group that has been accused of voter registration fraud.

“It is evident that ACORN is incapable of using federal funds in a manner that is consistent with the law,” Boehner, R-Ohio, wrote Bush, saying that funds should be blocked until all federal investigations into the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now are completed.

ACORN, a group that has led liberal causes since it was formed in 1970, this year hired more than 13,000 part-time workers to sign up voters in minority and poor neighborhoods in 21 states. Some of the 1.3 million registration cards submitted to local election officials, using the names of cartoon characters or pro football players, were obviously phony, spurring GOP charges of widespread misconduct.

Sounds like a no-brainer to me… not one more dime.

As you have probably noticed we have been experiencing some server issues today. It could be an attack, or it could be a conflict with the new version of WordPress and some of the plugins we have installed.

New that I am home I will try to isolate the problem.

UPDATE: So far things are good again. All plugins were deactivated and the server was nice and calm. Adding a few key plugins back… but most will remain off so we can troubleshoot over the next few days… gradually adding more…

That would be Thomas Sowell, for you liberals out there:

Telling a friend that the love of his life is a phony and dangerous is not likely to get him to change his mind. But it may cost you a friend.

It is much the same story with true believers in Barack Obama. They have made up their minds and not only don’t want to be confused by the facts, they resent being told the facts.

An e-mail from a reader mentioned trying to tell his sister why he was voting against Obama but, when he tried to argue some facts, she cut him short: “You don’t like him and I do!” she said. End of discussion…

…many today seem to assume that if things are bad, “change” will make them better. Specifics don’t interest them nearly as much as inspiring rhetoric and a confident style. But many 20th-century leaders with inspiring rhetoric and great self-confidence led their followers or their countries into utter disasters.

These ranged from Jim Jones who led hundreds to their deaths in Jonestown to Hitler and Mao who led millions to their deaths.

What specifics do we know about Barack Obama’s track record that might give us some clue as to what kinds of “changes” to expect if he is elected?

We know that he opposed the practice of putting violent young felons on trial as adults. We know that he was against a law forbidding physicians to kill a baby that was born alive despite an attempt to abort it.

We know that Obama opposed attempts to put stricter regulations on Fannie Mae — and that he was the second-largest recipient of campaign contributions from Fannie Mae. We know that, this very year, his campaign sought the advice of disgraced former Fannie Mae CEO Franklin Raines…

…The public has been told very little about what this man with the wonderful rhetoric has actually done. What we know is enough to make us wonder about what we don’t know. Or it ought to. For the true believers — which includes many in the media — it is just a question of whether you like him or not.

All very true – I’ll only add this point: at bottom, to support Obama is to take the coward’s way in politics. Other than once or twice asking parents to turn off the kids’ video games, Obama asks nothing of us other than that little detail of turning all power over to him. He’s not going to do anything to us (95% of the people won’t get a tax increase, right?), but he will punish “they” who have caused our problems. You see, it isn’t us who screwed the pooch, it is “they” who did it, and Obama’s gonna get ’em and fix their little, red wagon! Oil companies, insurance companies, drug companies…we’ll get them for what “they” did to us! And all will be well – the malefactors punished, we can expect pure, unadulterated bliss without us having to do anything, ’cause we never were at fault, it was “they”, not us.

Of course, there is no “they” – there is only us, and it is we who have made a hash out of it, and only if we roll up our sleeves and get to work behind a President who has the courage to take the hard road will be get out of our current crisis. You can believe all you want that “hope ‘n change” will do the trick, but what is really going to do it is investigating carefully what has happened and letting the chips fall where they may, and then resolving – as a people – to not do that sort of thing again. Greedy bankers and corrupt politicians got over on us because we let them do it – because when voices were raised for reform we turned a deaf ear. John McCain and Sarah Palin are raising the voices for reform – Obama is saying “trust me, I’ll make it all better”. Which will you choose, fellow Americans?
