Is it possible voters are being duped by big money, the cunning top 5%?

Have you noticed lately some poll numbers for Obama are slipping ever so gradually in favor of John McCain? If the numbers jumped dramatically I would say that something major would have had to of happened. For example, when the economy took a nose dive, McCain’s numbers fell. So we ask ourselves: why are the numbers suddenly slipping little by little each day? What are the possibilities? Let’s think about this for a moment. In the last week or so, gas prices have started to essentially plummet. They say the demand for oil has dropped significantly due to the fact Americans are using so much less. Granted many people have probably reduced their consumption but how many really can? I don’t really buy this as a legitimate reason. Think back, on numerous occasions gas prices have roller coasted prior to an increase of holiday travel. During past elections gas prices have dropped to help sway the outcome. This is nothing new. The petroleum cartel has the ability to do this on a whim.

So we ask ourselves: why would they do this now? The most logical reason would be the revenue that the oil companies will lose under Barack Obama’s new tax plans. Remember he plans to cut taxes for 95% of the American people (the middle class). He is going to eliminate the tax breaks that the big oil companies currently get. Think of the billions of reasons it would profit them to play with gas prices for a few days. By lowering gas prices many stocks could quite possibly bump up. This price reduction would create a small loss; however, in exchange they have a great deal to gain. They can always raise the prices after the elections and they will no matter who wins, watch and see. I promise you this will happen.

The big pharmaceutical companies will also feel the pinch due to Obama’s tax plans, what big company will not be impacted? None! Ask yourself these questions, ponder them for just a few moments and I hope you can see the logic and possibilities. The top 5% have a huge amount at stake in this election and they spell it with $$$$$. John McCain is their man. The outcome of this election is extremely important to them as it is for the middle class. The trouble is that the 5% and the 95% are at odds with each other.

Think about another possibility. In the last two days or so the DOW has taken a big jump upwards and is continuing that trend. This would tend to indicate that we can take a big sigh of relief and sit back and smile that we have managed to avoid a looming recession. Have we really avoided a recession? We can only hope; however, have you noticed some of the recent headlines stating how banks are afraid to loan to each other? This is in spite of the $700 billion bail out. Sallie Mae has stopped giving out student answer loans for students until further notice. They are one of the largest student loaning firms around. What do they know that we don’t? My point here is that big businesses have a lot to lose in this election if Barack Obama wins. It would be a huge advantage for large corporations to play with the stock market. If they were to do this for just a few days the economy would appear to be rebounding. Many secrets can and are passed behind closed doors as history has shown so many times before. What games might they be playing?

Many voters are quite possibly being lulled into a sense of false security that all is well once again. Thus the fundamentals of our economy are strong. We know this to be a lie! Don’t get suckered into this façade that the top 5% are feeding you. Vote the way you believed you should before this temporary illusion was fed to you. Remember the tighter an election becomes the easier it is to rig or steal it by just a little here and a little there like voting machines, ballots, voting guidelines, misrepresentations, and disenfranchised voters. The last two elections have shown us this. Americans don’t be duped!

Why Should They Care

This is the most vital election in America's history. There are so many things that hang in the balance. The significance goes much deeper than some of the personal issues that so many quibble over. It is not about whether you are a republican or a democrat. Right now the entire world is holding their breath as to the outcome of what we do in this election. There is an extreme build up of energy and tension that is soon to be set free on a global scale. The direction this energy will take us (the human race) is why this election is so important. So many things are intertwined across the globe in such a way that we are no longer impacting only our selves with our choices.

We have two choices in candidates to pick from. They both have distinct differences in their perceptions, desires, and focus of purpose. McCain is of the nature to war first and use diplomacy second; just look at his and Sarah Palin’s response to the attack on Georgia. If we would have attacked Russia as they had implied that we should, Palin would have seen missiles rather than Putin’s head launched over her 40 mile stretch of Bering Strait into Alaska. War mongering is not the mentality we want to continue to spew into the world as a nation.

Diplomacy is extremely vital at this point in the journey of humankind as world tensions are mounting. Barack Obama is of the nature to use diplomacy first and then use military force as a last resort. This is not a weakness as some would like to imply. Look back at President Kennedy’s response to the Cuban missile crisis. If McCain and Palin would have been in power at that time, just imagine how different the world would be now! Please note that Obama will not hesitate to use military force if the situation is warranted.

The rest of the world recognizes these distinct differences between Obama and McCain. It is time for more Americans to see this difference as well. There are an increasing number of staunch republican politicians voicing their support for Barack Obama such as Colin Powell, Scott McClellan, and Chris Buckley. They are realizing that this country needs a change and it is not the one that McCain and Palin will bring. They will bring a change but let’s not go there. Vote Barack Obama and Joe Biden into office and the bulk of the world community will get behind us in making the world a safer, greener, and more stable place. Our economy and the rest of the world economies will once again become stable as well.
