Activists rate Romney’s appeal to Georgia conservatives

“Romney’s choice of running mate will be critical to solidifying conservative support here.”
I agree. We could use at least one actual conservative on the ticket. Maybe round two of the Republican Party shooting itself in the foot will cause the leadership to reassess what type of party they want to be.

Romney should put Georgia in the win column easily. Not all the gopers will stay home and the donks don’t have the special circumstances of 4 years ago, and even then they lost.

I live in Oconee County and we vote goper 2-1, 70-30 if he’s invaded some country lately. It doesn’t matter if the candidate is Romney or Ralph Reed or some other fraud and it won’t matter in the rest of the state either.

I do not understand the “conservative” Republican desire to have a “conservative” head the GOP ticket. If getting Obama out of the White House is the goal, I would think having a “conservative” head the ticket would be an error. I would think that having a moderate, like 4 of the last 5 Republican White House winners, would the the ticket.

Look at history. Since 1932 Republicans have had one “conservative” elected president, Reagan in 1980. (And Reagan turned out to be one of the more moderate presidents.) All other Republican winners of the White House since 1932 have been “moderate” to liberal.

Romney fits the mold of the Republican winners of the White House since 1932.

A new Washington Post/ABC News poll shows that 54 percent of Americans disapprove of President Barack Obama’s handling of the economy, while only 44 percent approve.

Likely Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney scored some major victories over Obama on economic issues. A total of 47 percent of respondents said Romney would handle the economy better, while 43 percent chose Obama. And 51 percent said Romney would handle the budget deficit better, while only 38 percent chose Obama.

The numbers are mixed for Obama when it comes to gasoline prices. Only 28 percent of respondents approve of his handling of that issue, while 62 percent disapprove. But only 21 percent of Americans blame Obama for high gas prices, while 28 percent blame U.S. oil companies, and 25 percent blame foreign oil-producing countries.

While the recession officially ended in June 2009, a whopping 76 percent of Americans say it feels like we’re still in a recession, while 21 percent feel it’s over. Respondents were about equally split as to whether the economy is improving, with 48 percent saying yes and 49 percent saying no.

Mitt Romney’s ‘Amazing’ Statistic On Women’s Jobs Called Into Question

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney has come up with an “amazing statistic” “92.3 percent of all the jobs lost during the Obama years have been lost by women.”

But more men than women have lost jobs since the recession began – that’s why economists called it a “man-cession.”

In blaming Obama for “turning the clock back 20 years on American women,” as the Romney campaign puts it, Republicans are hoping to counter Obama’s perceived advantage with female voters.

“This is political gaming,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial, a financial services company.

“You can play a lot games with statistics.

So, Trashman, you’re saying that Romney’s reliance on a valid statistic during the actual Presidency of the current Disaster-in-Chief, rather than the totality of the recession as a whole, is not a valid campaign issue?

Just when is this President supposed to:

A. Take responsibility for his actions or failures, and
B. Actually do something of note to fix the problems he inherited?

Bottom-line, it is factually correct that during the term of office of the current Disaster-in-Chief (as the article you parsed from states), far more women have lost their jobs than men, and Obama has done little, if anything to correct that problem.

Deal with it.

That assessment is spot-on. As I’ve said before, one does not become governor of the most liberal state in the Union without being a liberal themselves. It just doesn’t happen.

Assuming he wins the election, our Senators and Reps should not give Romney a free pass just because he has a (R) after his name. Anything he does should be scrutinized just as carefully as if King Obama had done it himself.

That is a worn out line used by the left that conservatives do not buy. We know if you took the Democrats out of all the statistics in education then the rest of the state would be right near the top of the rest of the country. We know if you take the Democrats out of the labor stats then out unemployment and job creation would be near the top of the rest of the nation. We know if you take the Dems of this state out of any negative stat in the state then Georgia would be at the top of the nation.

In other words it is the Democratic voters that are dragging the state down.

If you go back and look at the exit poll results of 2008 and 2004 then you will find that Obama received about the same votes as Kerry did (he received a more actual votes). McCain is the one that lost votes (people stayed at home). If you look at the exit polls then you will see that it was the social conservatives that stayed home. If the same number of Social conservatives had come out in 2008 as in 2004 the McCain would be President right now. McCain received more independent votes then did Bush.

Here’s how contrived this whole “GOP War on Women” mantra really is.

Last night on ‘The Ed Show’ on MSNBC, Ed Schultz began talking about a media conference call with the Romney campaign – note I said the Romney campaign, not Romney himself – where a reporter asked a Romney staffer “What is Mitt Romney’s position on the Lilly Ledbetter Act?” There was a long pause – Oh, no! – followed by the reply, “We’ll get back to you on that”. (Note: The Lilly Ledbetter Act merely changes the date when a discriminatory pay act is considered to have occurred)

Well, you would have thought that Mitt Romney himself had just committed the rape of a woman after denying her contraception if you listened to Ed Schultz’s contrived angst! Even though the Romney campaign did, in fact, respond later in the day with a statement saying that he supports equal pay for everyone and WOULDN’T CHANGE ANY LAWS, Schultz brings in Lilly Ledbetter herself and they both start bemoaning how Mitt Romney would REPEAL the act named for her!

To summarize, we go from a campaign staffer not having the candidate’s specific view on a specific act handy, to later having the candidate’s view supplied as being in support of the act in question, to the candidate trying to repeal the act, which of course is all part of the GOP’s War on Women. Did you follow that logic?

Contrived doesn’t even begin to describe what this latest alleged GOP “war” really is.

DannyX;

Recent polls in these 11 states show Obama ahead of Romney in every state but Iowa. But they also show him topping 50 percent only in Wisconsin.

Obama seems to be running slightly better than last time in Ohio, Florida and North Carolina, and slightly weaker in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Iowa, and about the same in Virginia, Colorado and Nevada, with no recent polling in New Hampshire.

Obama has not sewn up any of these 11 states, which have 144 electoral votes. Without them, and without the 11 in Indiana and one in Nebraska he carried last time, he would have only 205 electoral votes, 65 short of the needed majority.

And 2008 is not the only possible benchmark. In the 2010 congressional elections, Republicans carried the popular vote for the House in all 11 of these states. They went into the election with only 56 of these states’ 126 House seats and came out with 82.

Voters’ issue focus this year looks more like that of 2010 than 2008. Even polls showing Obama ahead also show most voters rate him negatively on the top issues, jobs and the economy. Neither the stimulus package nor Obamacare evokes positive feelings.

The president has been reduced to trash-talking the Supreme Court, leaving his press secretary to tidy up afterward. He has been spending a week playing up the Buffett rule, a tax proposal raising capital gains rates on very high earners that would net little revenue.

That polls well in a vacuum. But more extended surveys, like one recently conducted for the moderate Third Way group, show most voters prefer limiting government and putting economic growth ahead of “an economy based on fairness.”

That’s closer to Mitt Romney’s view than Barack Obama’s. Obama and his party have bet everything on the notion that economic distress would make Americans favor a bigger government. That turned out to be a losing bet.

Romney and his party are betting that voters are ready for market-oriented reforms. Despite his political tin ear, Romney has been making progress in honing this message.

Meanwhile Obama is flailing. That’s not the behavior of an incumbent president confident of winning re-election.

Don’t think Jay Trashman will do a blog on this, do you?

On all of the most salient issues facing the electorate, we either see a statistical dead heat or a Romney advantage. And this is with Romney being bogged down for four months in a very nasty primary battle.

What to make of that topline between Obama and Mitt Romney, showing Obama up by seven points over the presumptive GOP nominee? Well, for starters a big part of Obama’s lead has to be chalked up to the hugely Democratic tilt of this poll. Pollsters with a more reasonable spread – in particular Gallup and Rasmussen – show a much tighter contest.

But the general election campaign has not actually begun. In fact, the playing field has been systematically stacked in favor of President Obama, who has been relentlessly campaigning while Romney has been mired in a messy primary battle. That is now set to change with Romney clearing out the GOP field.

Additionally, only about 10 to 15 percent of all voters are actually up for grabs in November, and they are hardly paying close attention just yet. Given that, I am much less interested in the head-to-head horse race number between Obama and Romney than I am in the details discussed above. To borrow a metaphor from economics, items like who voters trust more on creating jobs, whether they think the recession is over, or whether Obama is doing a good job dealing with the gas price surge are all “leading indicators” of where the race is going to head as we move forward through the cycle.

Tiberius – Those who know exactly what has gone on at the caucuses know that he has actually won several (Maine as the most blatant example of corruption and vote tampering) but these facts have been specifically covered up by the mainstream media to insure his label of “unelectable” holds throughout the primary season. The collapse of the american economy, the dollar, the global economy, etc. will only further solidify the support for the sound economic policies he has been promoting for his entire career. With Diebold counting the votes I have no reason to trust any of the totals we have seen. Goldman Sachs has already chosen Romney as their candidate. What they will do to insure that happens is limitless as far as I can see. They chose Obama last time and did what they needed to do to Hillary and Bill to keep the whole Kenyan thing under wraps and they were richly rewarded with bailouts, etc.

America has a choice – freedom or continued slavery. The next few months and the next few years will show what this country is made of.

Envious? He made his money legally and by using his own skills and talents. He took risks that many are fearful to take. With risk comes rewards. He should be emulated not envied. It only made sense for a mother of five to stay home. How many employees would she need to get all these kids to their after school activities and wouldn’t that cost more than she could earn.

Back in the day, before the Obama miasma, there were people that.had two to three children, that elected Mom to stay home and work on the house, meals and the children. Often she was also a home school teacher. I bought my house from a lady with six girls and she stayed home and did home schooling, while her husband worked out of state earning a large salary obviously. It is America, people have choices, or at least they did until the current period of unhappiness.

Pay no attention to a few vigorous Republicans who felt other candidates were better than Romney. I was one of them without the insults. But now we see clearly what is in the field and know that Romney will hold up in this tough world of politics. Republicans will move together as one at election time.

I know you don’t agree, but I do not think President Obama has done a good job. He is fiscally irresponsible, weak in diplomacy, a bumbling novice in healthcare, inept in energy, and is directed by others when decisions are made. Not a bad man, just not a strong man. I will not vote for him.

Knowing what a wiseacre is does not constitute knowing everything.

However I do know that 67% of the people polled in a new Fox News poll of registered voters do not like the way things are going in this country. Doesn’t look like that is good news for Barry Oblamer, but, not having attended Emory, I may have the wrong interpretation of this poll. IMO people do not seem to be that impressed with his record and he must not be, as he sure doesn’t talk about his accomplishments very much.

In just 24 hours, with a single sentence uttered on AC360 and a stunning refusal to apologize until everyone on the Democrat side had thrown her under the bus, she managed to put a stake in the heart of the “GOP War on Women” campaign.

MORE FOND MEMORIES

George W. Bush used the United States military to fight a personal war that his family would benefit from greatly.

Focusing only on his own agenda, he tricked the American people into believing that we had a duty to fight against terrorism and due to his own arrogance and selfishness, thousands of young American soldiers died at his expense. And even after all the death and destruction, we still have nothing to show for it.

I’m not exactly crazy about Romney because I question whether or not he can take the fight to Obozo the Emperor… but my fellow conservatives need to understand this: social issues simply MUST take a back seat to the economy, because if Obozo and his merry band of Bolshevik America-haters aren’t stopped, there isn’t going to BE an America much longer.

Point #1: VP candidates are irrelevant if they are “acceptable”, and an anchor if they are not. Any decent pick will be a non-event (it wont cause people to vote for the Presidential candidate, but it won’t cause people to NOT vote for them, either.).

Point #2: Conservatives hate Obama more than they dislike the current GOP candidate. It matters not whether or not Romney appeals to Georgia conservatives. Georgia conservatives , like most around the country, have an “anybody but Obama” attitude, and will vote for the candidate that gets the nomination.

Ask those employees at United and American Airlines who were working on 9/11 if the Bush Presidency was a positive…when 25,000 people at United were laid off in a 2-week period? Ask those same laid-off employees about the inability to find employment for periods of upwards to tw- and three YEARS? Ask the people who were adversely affected by the financial near collapse of the stock and housing markets if the Bush Presidency was a positive?? Ask those whose gasoline prices rose to unnatural levels during the Bush Years??

For a many that experienced positives, I can find just as many — if not MORE — who experienced the negatives!! Many persist in decrying the level of governmental spending…but where were those concerns when the nation was BUSHwhacked???

getaclue obviously didn’t see the latest jobs numbers this week, or the 18% real unemployment levels, or the GSA wasting nearly $1 billion in taxpayer money on trips, trips, more trips and relocations during this “competent” President’s term. And let’s not forget the out-of-control Justice Dept. who will sue any state or a private business at the drop of a hat, but can’t seem to prosecute civil or voting rights violations. Oh yah, and let’s not even mention the over $5 TRILLION in debt racked up by this “competent” President with little, if anything to show for it except the bill.

I am truly sorry that you and the airline employees had such a hard time during the Bush years. People were just scared to fly for awhile. I would think that would be the fault of the terrorists that drove those airplanes. Before you say, well, GWB was in charge, let me explain that he had only been on the job about 7 months. You can’t have it both ways, when you don’t hold Barry Oblamer responsible for anything that has happened during the last 3.5 years, but Bush should have prevented that attack? Modern thinking would suggest it was Slick Willies fault.

I know that you find it hard to believe, but MOST, there are always exceptions, people had a pretty good ride under GWB. Yes, he spent WAY too much money trying to buy off love from the Dems with Kennedy’s NCLB and the socialist program Medicare Part D. But there is no comparison to how awful things are now.

The latest polls show that 67% of Americans are unhappy with the way things are going in this country. Rasmussen has Romney up by 4 over Barry today. I know these polls mean nothing at this early date, but that doesn’t stop the libs on here from touting them over and over when Barry is up. I hope and pray that we are going to do the right thing this Nov and get this country on the right track and get people back to work and stop the withering of their savings. Have faith HDB.

If the “good judgement” of the GOP had prevailed in “08 and McCain/Palin had been elected, the country and the world would be mired in a Global Depression — and generational unemployment would be accepted norm.

Of course, it’s easy to criticize the “actions” that were taken, but the “inaction” that the GOP espouse would have pushed the global economy over the edge.
