Weekend Polls

Well folks it has not been a boring few days on the economic front, it seems we avoided the bullet of another Great Depression, the US Government is taking on the debt of the United States, President Hoover did not act and thus we had the Great Depression and Bush has gone to other extreme, he has bailed out Major Companies with bad debt. Of the two options I would support the Bush Plan, but the question has to be asked who is going to pay for this, the answer has to be the tax payer. Lets look at the Polls Folks.

Gallup: Reports that Senator Obama has a five percent lead over McCain. The Poll found the following, Obama 49% - McCain 44%. The Western Economy faced going in to the toilet and Obama is only five points ahead, this should worry the Obama Camp, Obama should with kind of news be in double digit lead, and he is still under 50%. If the Economic Plan by the Bush Administration works, I think McCain could pull off a victory in November.

Rasmussen: This poll finds a closer race, in essence a tie, the poll finds the following, Obama 48% - McCain 47%. The Obama Camp needs to have a sharper message on the Economy, should get in some of the Clinton old hands of the 1992 Campaign. In the West Wing Season 7, the Republican Candidate had to cope with a Nuclear Accident, this Economic threat is its equal, McCain has to show that he understand the Middle Class, he has to become their Reagan, he cant say that the economy is fine, it looks like something Paris Hilton would say because she is rich. The McCain Camp has to show his maverick streak, be firm with Wall Street, need better government control of the money markets.

Hoteline/FDTracking: This also shows a close race between Obama and McCain, the poll finds the following, Obama 45% - McCain 44%. If Obama cant get over 50% by Election Day it can be postulated that McCain will win, the issue that no one wants to discuss is race, are the voters in the United States willing to elect the first African - American to the Presidency, Obama is Liberal that is enough of an issue but his race has not an legitimate point not to vote for him, Obama could be the next JFK or Reagan, but he has to stand up to his Party and show that he will not be pushed around by the Liberal Left of the Democratic Party.

Rights for Agency Workers!

Over the past few weeks I have worked for Employment Agency, they sent me to a major company in the area, as the company needed workers, I did not get an Interview, just start the following day. Thus from the 21/8/08 to 19/9/08 I worked for this major Company, not taking a day off due to illness or holiday. I discovered that the Company had plans to move me to a Call Centre environment, as I have a speech Impediment I informed them of this fact, on Friday after work I was informed that I was let go, one can postulate after that all hard work one would have been tested one one's phone skills, but no, just the boot, but this was not surprising. after only a week and two days without no training after that, in less I asked I was placed on the work, the Company is in the profit Industry. I wonder if their clients can appreciate the lack of training by this major company, its outlets are in bookies, pubs, Casinos all over the world. One would think that the Company would have the decency to inform people if they are being let go, but there is something rotten, a company that does not inspire loyalty, has a high burn rate for those that work for it, under a year seems to be the duration of employment. I wish the company would have inspired me to but no, just shows that a company, will use and abuse its employers does not deserve the trust or loyalty of those it employs, it can not be called a gentleman but a cad, yes Sir a Cad, the Gipper inspired his supporters, this company would make one take the pledge in its business.

I call on the government to take action as to protect Agency workers, if you are disabled and a company takes you on, it should at least try to find other work for you that does not involve you having to leave the company, what shame for a Labour Government and the Welsh Assembly.

The Close 08 Election Race

Fox News: Reports Democrats are worried by the Polls, why is Senator Obama not well ahead of McCain, the economic news is bad, the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are still hot and Obama is still in tie with McCain. If Obama goes in to the general election in a tied race with McCain you have to call the race for McCain, as was shown in NH,Obama had a lead in double digits but lost to Hillary Clinton by a few points, Obama needs a double digit lead as to off set those voters who will not vote for an African - American candidate for President.

Race and the 08 Election

CNN: An article that states that the reason that the polls are so close is the fact that Obama is the first African - American Candidate for President who has a real chance of winning. This is true, in the 21 Century race and gender should have no part in who you vote for, but voters are human, its a flaw, race or gender biases could be removed from the DNA, would vote for such a move. The voter should vote for the candidate because of their views and character, their external appearance is neither here or there, if you vote against Obama vote because of policies not because he is black, if that is your reason don't vote, its wrong and not fair, humans should be better, if not what is the point.

How long for BROWN !

BBC News: Another Cabinet Minister has shown that the power of Gordon Brown is on the decline, James Purnell the Work and Pensions Secretary has stated he would not be critical of those that want PM Brown out of No 10. The once great Stalin figure of Gordon Brown has become someone to pity, a politician who has waited years to become PM and he has shown that he is not up the job. I will be very surprised to see Gordon Brown as PM by Xmas, Labour wants a chance at the next election, they will throw Brown under the next Scottish Bus, should Labour lose the next Scottish By - Election. I wonder if Tony Blair wants a Deputy in the Middle East.

Liberals on the ATTACK

Telegraph: Reports that Liberal pressure groups are planning to go on the attack in support of Obama. The success of the Republican Convention and the choice by McCain of Palin has thrown a curve ball at the Democrats, Senator Obama just might have lost this election.

Cheney the DARK MASTER!

The New York Times: Reviews another liberal book that attacks the Vice President. The Elite Media need to smell the coffee, Vice - President Cheney has been one of the best Vice - Presidents in the history of the USA.
