A lot of change has happened since I last posted. Alaska governor Sarah Palin has energized the Republican base like no one else can. I am excited going into the voting booth and vote for a straight Republican ticket on October 20th, that's when early voting begins in Texas.

I wish the bailout legislation had not gone through. I understand the president and every Republican leader want to do something to calm the public's irrational fear and allow the McCain campaign to get back to talking about national security, an issue we Republican will always win on. The fear is irrational because there is not one thing that you can do today that you cannot do tomorrow. The loss of employment is always there, that does not make it a national crisis, though it definitely would be a personal one for those who are affected. My take is that you should always keep up your skills, always taking proactive steps to make sure you remain marketable. Making sure you distinguish yourself, put yourself half or one step ahead of the crowd is something you do constantly and never allow your worst enemy, complacency to have the better of you.

But indeed the rescue financial package had gone through. The market has gone down three consecutive days now since the rescue legislation passed both houses of Congress and signed into law by president Bush. I want my refund. The government has never been the answer. It’s so true that there’s no new news, only old news happen to new people. That’s what happened here. People bought into the old saying we all laugh at: “ I am from the government and I am here to help.” Because people do not learn, history repeats itself.

There is still three weeks left. I hope the correction in the market will be done and people will be rational again and take a serious look at Obama, see for themselves the huge discrepancy between his rhetoric and his record, and make an informed decision when they go into the voting booth on Tuesday, November 4th.
