You have been listening to the wrong people. I saw Rove and Trippi yesterday, they finally moved Texas and Georgia into the Romney states and CT into Obama’s. They have moved WI and NV into the toss ups with eight others. Rove said if we put NC into Romney’s camp, the electoral college is virtually tied something like 184 to 181,

10 toss up’s. If people are still undecided, after all this politicking and four years of incompetence, they most likely are going to vote against the incumbent. That is what gives us this enthusiasm.

The person who is behind the poll you cite, The Hill, is Republican operative Scott Rasmussen. He gets a ton of money from the GOP, so he’s pretty much obligated to provide the answers they want to see and publicize.

Kyle, you have one of the toughest jobs in Georgia. Defending the Republican party, in a state where the Republican governor and representatives have Georgia leading the country in bank failures, home defaults, and among the leaders in unemployment rates and poverty, must make you dread your daily writing assignments. At least a lot of the readership isn’t very well informed, thanks to the state being among the last in education.

The problem is that the REPUBLICANS have lied, obstructed, and obfuscated!!! What we’ll hear from Charlotte is the Obama record…the accomplishments that have occurred WITHOUT Republican support….based on REPUBLICAN ideas (which they don’t want to admit!)…..Anyone wo is HONEST would admit that the chasm this nation was in was deeper than we all expected….but Obama’s policies kept us for falling deeper!! To answer the Republican’s question: “Am I better off than I was four years ago?”…my answer is….DAMN RIGHT , I AM!!

@Rafe…”Rove said if we put NC into Romney’s camp, the electoral college is virtually tied something like 184 to 181″

Of course that is a bit counter productive since NC is a dead heat at 48% for each. Though you seem to need some help deciphering it Rove’s map has a decent format. See all those -’s in the toss up states? That’s how much Romney is behind.

In fact if you add up the solid, leaning and leading on Rove’s map Obama would draw 326 EV’s today…again could it change…maybe…is it likely…NOPE.

Morning, Kyle. Did you have happen to catch Chris Wallace’s program on Sunday? They all looked so sad about the Republican prospects of winning this election cycle. When you lose the FOX cheerleaders, you know you have problems.

Their point was that the Republican problem is that Obama is going to basically remind everyone of what October 2008 looked like and then successfully hang it all on the Republican Party as the logical outcome of their failed policies and philosophy… that Romney wants to re-create all for his personal benefit. It’s a message that resonates with independents and Republicans have done nothing to explain how this is not true.

So while I appreciate Mitt trying to give me permission to vote against my own best interests, thanks anyway, Mitt!

Last Thursday night during the RNC, the Romney campaign spent over $120,000 to sponsor a trend on Twitter. On that same night, Clint Eastwood spoke to an invisible Barack Obama in a chair.
All of these things were supposed to help make Romney more popular–except that they all backfired when Barack Obama tweeted this:

This is what we should hear:

The Republican/Conservative ideas boil down to ending the concept of community and shared responsibility. It’s every man for himself.

Your neighbors aren’t your friends – they’re the enemy. Your government is the enemy. Anyone who isn’t the same sex, race, or religion as you is the enemy. For the well off, those less well-off are the enemy. If you are less well-off, your enemies are those who are better off.

this is the policy of the dems that are in office now

How to catch wild pigs
There was a Chemistry professor in a large college that had some Exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Prof noticed one young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country’s government and install a new communist government.
In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a Strange question. He asked, ” Do you know how to catch wild pigs?”
The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said this was no joke.”You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, who are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat, you slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd.
Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity.
The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening to America. The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. While we continually lose our freedoms- just a little at a time.
One should always remember: There is no such thing as a free lunch!
And you can never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself.
If you see that all of this wonderful government “help” is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America, you might want to send this on to your friends.
If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life then you will probably delete this email, but God help you when the gate slams shut!

JDW is wound up today over Ryan’s “lies”. Did he lie, not really in today’s vernacular, just put GOP spin on the facts just like the Dems do every time they open their mouths.

Obama’s frequent lies.

1) He is very frugal. He bases this on some columnist fudging the numbers and putting most of his spending back on Bush.
2) Romney is a felon for “maybe” not leaving Bain when he told the SEC he did leave.
3) That Romney said he wanted to fire people. (not exactly)
4. That Obamacare is going to bend the cost curve and reduce healthcare costs. (Blatantly false)
5. That he saved General Motors and that they would not exist today, if not for him.
6. That he pulled the troops out of Iraq (yes, right on schedule established by Bush)
7. That he ever tried to work with the GOP on healthcare.
8. That pulling 716 Billion out of Medicare will improve the program and extend its life.
9. That Bain Capital sucked out the profit and bankrupted companies leaving the employees unemployed. He never mentions that many of those companies asked to be rescued, and all of them would have probably closed, if not for Bain infusing them with cash and management resources.

Just a few of many which will repeated ad nauseum this week. I didn’t even get into the broken campaign promises of cutting the deficit in half or closing gitmo, or transparency, blah, blah, blah.

I think KB Toys’ biggest problem was not Bain Capital, but Walmart. It is hard to compete with Walmart, when you are paying that exorbitant mall rent and don’t have the buying power of the giant. Sounds like Bain just buried the corpse.

Is a Vulture Capitalist something like Vulture Governmentalist? You know the big government regime that takes over a bankrupt company, rewrites the bankruptcy laws, fleeces the investors and dealer network, and passes on part to the company to their friends in the union, then brags about how they saved the auto industry. Sounds like the two have a lot in common.

When the Republicans ask, ”Are you better off than four years ago,” the Democrats should answer: “Who are you asking?” The fat cats that support the Romney campaign? Their profits are higher than ever. Are you asking the leaders of the financial institutions, whose skin was saved? Are you asking those, whose retirement income depends on the Dow Jones Index?

Or are you asking the GM workers, the employees of all the GM suppliers? Are you asking the millions who got new jobs thanks to the stimulus?

I know, you want to ask the unemployed. The unemployed who lost their jobs because of the Bush recession.

The best answer the Democrats can and will give is the following: The COUNTRY is better off than four years ago. Instead of contracting the economy is growing. Instead of losing hundreds of thousands of jobs each month, jobs are being created. The war in Iraq is over, the war in Afghanistan is ending. Gaddafi is dead, Obama bin Laden is dead, and so are dozens of high ranking terrorist leaders.

@ md – I’ll give you that most of the swing states have an Obama lead with less than 50% of the vote, the debates will likely be important to the small undecided vote, and turnout (likely voters) will be factors. But the liberal media will be even more ultra biased for Obama in October when the undecideds and get out the vote campaign are targeted.

I simply don’t see a groundswell happening against a media supported incumbent Democrat happening in enough of those swing states.

What will a new Republican Administration do differently from the last one?

Total Nonfarm Employment

Obama increase last month 163,000 which is more than 14 times greater than last Republican Administration’s average

Since 2/2010 increase of 4,001,000 employees

Last Republican Administration 1,095,000 / 8 years = 136,875 / yr or 11,406 / mo. (all government employees, added Department of Homeland Security)

Clinton 22,740,000 / 8 years = 2,842,500 / yr or 236,875 / mo.
Carter 2,584,000 / yr or 215,400 / mo.

They talk about Carter’s economic record, but he created not double or triple but almost 19 times more Total Nonfarm Jobs per month than the last Republican Administration’s average.

The week of Aug 12 Rasmussen had Romney +2…today they have Romney +2
Gallup had it a tie…today they have Obama +1

That is not true td. Rasmussen uses a 3 day average, Gallup uses a 7 day average for their Presidential tracking polls.

Rasmussen which is now based on post Republican convention polling has already seen Romney’s “bump” decline by 2%, Romney +2, more like a small bounce for Romney in that poll.

Gallup includes 4 days post convention and their poll hasn’t budged so far, Obama still +1. Gallup also had a poll up yesterday that showed Romney’s speech wasn’t very well received.

Incumbent presidents are rarely defeated. When they are, the writing is on the wall long before the political conventions. It is unlikely that Obama the incumbent will lose by a squeaker at this point.

Also, remember when Carter and Bush 1 lost, they didn’t have the liberal media backing. Carter lost the media when he beat their favorite liberal Ted Kennedy in the contested primaries. Bush was a Republican, so never had media backing.

This is not to say the media can cover up debate gaffes, or have much effect on turnout – both of which could possibly hurt Obama. IMO, neither is likely to overcome Obama’s current advantage.

Congress is going to either be divided or Republican and Obama will never face the voters again, so an Obama second term looks to quickly turn into a lame duck political gridlock.

Noooooooo you wouldn’t twist words would you.

Real Clear Politics is the standard I use and I don’t adjust Rasmussen, even though you really should. As for the one offs…you are the one making assumptions based on bumps, I just dug into the data to find out that when you compare polls to polls ie Rasmussen, Gallup ect… there is no bump.

Keep on drinking that koolaid if you want but the fact is only “momentum” Romney/Ryan have has been assigned by the Conservative pundits and is not supported by a review of the pertinent facts.

But I shouldn’t be surprised after all those same pundits would have us believe things were better at the end of 2008?

Q4 2008 job losses equaled 1.5 MILLION

Nope, just the fanatic christians who feel their beliefs are the only ones who belong in the public square.

Ryan has his support of Bush and Republican spending policies to regret, I’ll not defend them or him for doing it.

Kyle and others,

Whatever the details on the polling the fact remains that Obama owns the worse economy in 80 years and the Republican candidate cannot make any headway against him. There has to be a reason. I am saying the reason is the Romney campaign staffers.

The 1992 Democratic campaign had one great lesson and the Romney/Ryan campaign apparently never heard of it.

The last thing I want to see is Obama for another 4 years. But if the Romney people do not get smart fast that is what we will have.

*******************************************

In Bush’s first term the economy shed 913,000 private sector jobs! 913,000!

The only thing that saved Bush’s first term from being a complete economic

disaster was robust public sector growth: The economy added 900,000 government

jobs.

Without the massive growth in the public sector during Bush’s first term, would he have been

reelected?

Bush led the U.S. economy out of a weak recession with strong public sector growth.

Obama is leading the U.S. economy out of a near-death experience while a steadily

shrinking government swells the unemployment rolls.

I think we’ll hear a lot about the fact that the Republican convention was centered around three lies: 1) The fact that Obama statement “you didn’t build that” to businesses was taken completely out of context in his speech which taken as a whole reminded business owners that the government helped them build their businesses by providing roads, bridges, educated workers, and in many cases, (such as the building where the RNC convention was held) used taxpayer funds to build the buildings that businesses use. 2) That Obama “raided” Medicare for $716 billion when it is actually a savings, and 3) That Obama took “work” out of welfare. All are demonstrable lies. I think the Dems should discredit those who continually repeat those lies by showing evidence.

Since you are so freaking brilliant can you explain the 11% over representation in the latest ABC poll? Why has all the polls up to this point over represented the Democratic voters by between 4 to 9%?

So does your research!

The website of the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois ((https://www.iardc.org/ldetail.asp?id=847688734)) says that Michelle Obama was admitted to the Illinois State Bar Association on May 12, 1989, but she is no longer authorized to practice law because she voluntarily surrendered (“voluntarily inactive”) her license on some unspecified date for unspecified reason(s).

For his part, Barack Hussein Obama was admitted to the Illinois State Bar Association on December 17, 1991. He too is no longer authorized to practice law because he had “voluntarily retired” on an unspecified date for unspecified reason(s).

@Dusty…”A rebate check is cost control? I seriously doubt that you know anything about the cost of healthcare or cost control. ”

Having managed good sized businesses both in the US and Europe, I am pretty sure I got a good handle. See when you get money back that you would have normally spent that REDUCES your costs. So when your insurance company is forced by Obamacare to spend at least 80% of your premium on care otherwise they give you the money back…that reduces your cost.

“Today the national debt rose to 16 TRILLION.and that is without Obamacare in effect as yet. You better be thinking of a way to live off of nothing when this country goes broke from poor money management and blind ignorance.”

Already saw that movie…it started in January of 2001 and thankfully we started the long road to recovery in January of 2009.

If you have such a great “handle”, your version of handing out taxpayer money is pretty lame. It is about as smart as trying to blame Bush for four years of failure with Obama.

You had better go to Washington with your “handle” and tell them what to do with a 16 trillion debt. Please don’t tell them to raise taxes and then try to give some back to tax;payers for a “free” stimulus or some other rediculous scheme that has already failed one time.

Your handle has DNC written all over it. Polish it up a bit.

Q4 2008 job losses equaled 1.5 MILLION
Q4 2008 GDP decline was 8.9%
Business credit was non existent
DOW ended the year at 8776

Wonder whose watch that was on?

Today…

4.5 million jobs created over last 29 months more than the entire Bush debacle
GDP growing at around 2% per year
Corporate profits at all time high
DOW 13,000 plus

Maybe Obama will talk about the insourcing buill that the Repubs refused to pass because it would cut off benefits for outsourcing by Bain and others,and whose fault is that?????????????

“”"”"”"”"”"Under existing law, employers may take tax deductions for the costs associated with moving jobs out of the country. The proposed legislation would have eliminated that, and used the resulting new revenue to fund a 20 percent tax credit for the costs companies run up “insourcing” labor back into the U.S.The bill failed by a 56-42. A count of 60 was required to end discussion and move to a final vote.To further push the issue, Democrats held a conference call with employees from Sensata Technologies, an electronics hardware manufacturer that plans to close its Freeport, Ill., plant at the end of the year and move those operations to China. Democrats say 150 people will be laid off in the process. Sensata, formerly known as the Sensors and Controls division of Texas Instruments, was spun off to Bain in 2006 for a reported $3 billion.”"”"”"”"”"”"

“There is no reason in the world this would not have passed except for so many of the Republican senators have other interests,” said Tom Gaulrupp, a 33-year veteran of the company.

Water intoxication, also known as water poisoning, is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain functions that results when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside of safe limits (e.g., hyponatremia) by overhydration, i.e., over-consumption of water.

Hard to move the needle from the middle, gotta pull from the left or the right to make it move. People in the middle make no contribution to the impetus needed to change the status quo. Kinda like someone on here talking about growing the economy from the middle out. Ain’t gonna happen.

The middle, may include some future job creators, great thinkers, investment capitalist, inventors, and people with the vision, but they aren’t capable of leading us out of this great economic malaise. The people that already have those skills, ability, and wealth have to step forward and lead the way. We have to remove the boot of government off their necks and give them some certainty on where taxes are headed and the economy is moving, to get them back into the growth and investment mode.

If you like the crossfire, stay in the middle.

Roosevelt and the Democrats did not end the Great Depression, World War II did

Fail. US GDP reached pre-Depression levels in 1936.

By 1936, the main economic indicators had regained the levels of the late 1920s, except for unemployment, which remained high at 11%, although this was considerably lower than the 25% unemployment rate seen in 1933. In the spring of 1937, American industrial production exceeded that of 1929 and remained level until June 1937. In June 1937, the Roosevelt administration cut spending and increased taxation in an attempt to balance the federal budget.[87] The American economy then took a sharp downturn, lasting for 13 months through most of 1938. Industrial production fell almost 30 per cent within a few months and production of durable goods fell even faster. Unemployment jumped from 14.3% in 1937 to 19.0% in 1938, rising from 5 million to more than 12 million in early 1938.[88] Manufacturing output fell by 37% from the 1937 peak and was back to 1934 levels.[89]

NOTE: Read what happened in June 1937. That is what Republicans want to do to us — it’s called austerity.

When rich people are taxed more they invest MORE in their business.
