2010 Mid Term Elections - Gallup Poll

Gallup: Has an interesting Generic Poll for the 2010 Mid Term Congressional Elections, its has three different outcomes, registered voters, likely voters ( low turnout ), likely voters ( high turnout ). The outcome that is drawing my attention is the one likely voter with a low turnout, this poll has the Republicans on 56% and the Democrats on 38%, a 18% lead for the Republicans, if this was the result it would be wipe out for the Democrats, the Obama Presidency would be over but in name, lets see the next few polls, watch the likely voter but low turnout, there is something, not sure yet, but lets see some more polls.

Ireland Bankrupt Part Three

Guardian: Reports on more pressure on the Irish Economy, another credit agency has announced it might reduce the credit worthiness of Ireland due to its recession of an economy and its debt. The fear is that Ireland will have to be bailed out like Greece by the IMF. Lets recall folks if Ireland goes down the toilet it could have great consequences for the UK economy, Ireland is a major economic partner, thus if Ireland is on its economic death bed then UK at its most basic might have a major stroke, that simple and harsh folks. This blog would suggest that the EU and the US take over ALL banks and check the books, and restart from scratch, one gets the feeling that the banks are sucking the last dollar, pound out of the UK voter as to keep their bonuses. Ireland might be a lost cause, the UK should look at what the costs would be to the UK if Ireland went belly up, get rid of any debts, in other words if it’s a choice between the economy of the UK and Ireland, then UK Government has to protect the UK economy first, no matter the effect on Ireland.

Those ROTTEN Banks!

Telegraph: Reports that the Western Banks still have debts of four trillion dollars and will need Government aid to keep the system secure. This folks is getting out of hand, another four trillion dollars, how much stupid decisions have banks taken, and why are they giving out big fat bonuses to bad bankers in every sense of the word. This is the kind of thing that could make you a MARXIST! The Western Governments should allow the banks to fail, then protect the customers, otherwise the banks have the Western voter by the throat, it seems any bank is to BIG to fail. Its time that these bankers faced corruption charges, even if Governments have to create back dated laws to get these bankers in Court. Does the Western Economy have the money to bailout these banks without destroying the Welfare State.

The RETURN of the Democrats ?

Politico: Reports that Democrats are thinking that they might not suffer a political tsunami in the 2010 Mid Term Congressional Elections, the article states the following, as several important states now appear to be trending in their direction or growing more competitive.. The Democrats having been throwing the kitchen sink at the Republicans, also one can not discount the appeal of President Obama to young voters, the Democrats know that if they lose the House the Obama Agenda is dead on the Hill. The article notes the difficult of the Republicans taking the Senate, but in many respects they don’t have to take the Senate, as long as they get close to parity with the Democrats they can block the Obama Agenda or his nominees for Government jobs. A week is a long time in politics folks, also the Republicans face the danger not from Democrats from the elite media, the liberal NYT and the TV networks will throw any BS at the Republicans to protect the Obama White House and the Democrats on the Hill. The Republicans have to keep to a simple message, that the Obama White House has taken the US economy over a cliff, they have acted as drunk sailors through their economic stimulus, health care reform, the bailout of the car industry. Expect a lot of negative attacks from the elite media folks, the clever part is getting at the truth between the lines. Thus this blog is still keeping to its prediction that the Republicans will retake the House and get parity with Democrats in the Senate. Will make actual Seat predictions close to the election.

26,000 in benefits as a CAP?

Telegraph: Reports that the Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne has stated that there will be a cap on benefits, the limit will be the average working wage. I am sorry but if families are getting twenty six thousand bounds in benefits then the system is corrupt, you cant have a system in benefits that is double the wage than in the poor parts of the UK, the weekly wage might be twenty six thousand pounds in London and the South of England but its half or less than that in the Wales and Scotland. Thus the Chancellor really needs drastic cuts in benefits, no wonder the work shy of Southern England are not working if you getting twenty six grand, this blogger would be work shy if he got those kind of benefits. The welfare system really needs to change, drastic cuts, support the low income yes, but if the cap on benefits is twenty six thousand the system is corrupt, between ten and fifteen thousand for a family of three yes, but 26,000, now wonder the UK had no money left.

No more Child Benefit = 44,000 +

BBC News: Reports that the Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne has announced at the Conservative Party Conference that those earning over forty four thousand pounds will lose the right to have child benefit after 2013. Lets be honest folks this benefit for those that earn over forty thousand pounds is a tax break, the UK economy is in a mess, thus its right that the rich pay. The Labour Governments of Blair and Brown spent all the money as a outgoing Labour Minister stated to his successor, thus it is important that all benefits go to those that really need the benefits, the good days are over folks, its going to get rougher out there, the Labour Party still does not get the fact that it lost the election due to the fact that it lost the trust of the voter when it come to the economy, thus they have opposed this radical reform. The Welfare System post 1945 is over, people can go up the wall but that’s the fact of life, the Banks and Labour have flushed the UK piggy bank down the toilet, its harsh but it’s the real world folks, get used to it.
