I'm really perplexed by people's positive response to this week's republican convention activity. I don't think people realize the ramifications of the things being said. Giuliani and Mc Cain are attacking Washington all right. But they're calling government now a hot bed of liberalism, which they are going to take swift action to remedy. The decisions of the current Bush Supreme court are attacked as too liberals, such as saying the accused have the right to habious corpus. Palin is not a reformer but a corrupt crook who is up to her eyebrows in scandal and misconduct. Yet she is being sold to the public as some kind of feminist heroin. Mc Cain and Giuliani keep talking about the out of control government spending over the last thirty years and yet most of that time Republicans have been in the White House. Mc Cain disagrees with Bush on foreign affairs, all right. Where Bush has made a deal with the Meliki government to reduce troops in the future in Iraq Mc Cain wants to stay there, apparently till the last Moslem has bitten the dust. Sarah Palin sees the Iraq War as some sort of a holy war for God and Christianity. These people want to have Creationism as the new educational standard for our young, and they want to remove sex education from our schools, so that we have more unwanted pregnencies. Mc Cain's attitude tword the Georgia invasion by Russia may sound appealing at first- - but if it's so conservative even Pat Buchannon is sounding the alarm for caution, I think Mc Cain better reassess his position before he plunges us all into World War III. I think there are questions about the "temperment" of both candidates that need further analysis. We know Sarah will pursue a personal vendetta even if she has to abuse her powers to do it. You know, for six years Bush has had everything he wants and vetoed almost no bills with the notible exception of stem cell research, which he is against. Bush has been the most conservative President we've had in the past eighty years but Mc Cain wants to go that one better. One might be inclined to dismiss this latter day Goldwater convention as some hysterical blowing off of steam that will ammount to nothing. But even though the Republicans are attacking the media, which itself has become much more conservative, it would seem this same media is giving a "thumbs up" on the convention and in the latest polls now Mc Cain is clearly ahead of Obama in numbers.
Sometimes nothing goes as planned. I never thought the Republicans had a chance if Obama got nominated. I thought with a good man at the head of our ticket, the Republicans would be toast and have nothing to say. After all Mc Cain has voted with George Bush 95% of the time. There was a total absence in that speech of any reaching out to centerists or independants. Mc Cain, Giuliani and Romney have all had that Karl Rove "make-over" for this convention. Democrats never talked about gay marriage. The republicans in this convention are trying to minimize the issue of abortion, though it does still get mentioned. But I would have thought that Obama would have a significant "bounce" by now from the Democratic convention. If you look at the Dukakis - Bush race of 1988 you see a parrellel trend. The democrats have this big lead early on and then there is that "turning point" where people are "turned". In my personal life I thought September would be a good month. I was expecting that renter's rebate to kick in early this month since I was seventeen days earlyer in getting the application off from last year. Now I'm told I may not get that. My mother was talked out of helping me financially, even though a week ago Sunday she had said "I have so much money you don't need to wait till I die before you get it". That's all changed now. When my Dad was alive I would usually get a Christmas check of about three hundred dollars. I didn't get that this year. And of course I didn't get a panny of the Bush rebate. Taken all together it ammounts to a considerable financial loss from what I was expecting. I think Joel Olsteen needs to take another look at his theology. Now this morning I had blood drawn for a full work-up, because I health has come into question. Of course I was right about one thing. This is the worst hurricane season in three years and I predicted that. But if "thinking it' made it so, then I'd be God. So I don't rightly know where Joel Olsteen gets his theology from. Sometimes things come out of nowhere and knock you off your feet.
There are disturbing rumblings from the Other Side. I might say messages from the Orion Federation are different from ordenary "psychic intuitions". Communacations from the Other Side tend to be much more reliable than psychic preminitions. I was told by Stewart that the Sutterans were going to be military attacked by the Federation. This was a couple days ago. Yesterday I was told by someone that Mc Cain is going to win the election, and nobody can do anything about it. Mal Evans had the message of "Sometimes you just have to Sell Out", referring to the Federation's position that the race is now hopeless and Mc Cain will win. If you are a Calvinist and believe "What will be will be" then nothing can be done to alter this political race from a result that has already been pre-decided. Whoever wins will become an unpopular president because of all the economic mess they inheret. And as you know we have been predicting a major world conflict, which will start in a couple years.
There are still a lot of people who believe that Berock Obama is a practicing Moslem and that he's gotten significant money from Moslem organizations that he hasn't given back. Many on the right think we pay too many taxes now and that Mc Cain will cut today's high tax rates for businesses. This is a platform plank. There is "good change" and "bad change" and with Mc Cain as President of the land, we are likely to see a lot of "bad change" in our future.
