According to the eleven national polls listed on Real Clear Politics Obama leads in eight of them, Romney in two with the final being a tie. Somehow they come out with Obama ahead by an average of 2.2 but how they get that number is beyond me. I get Obama ahead by 4 points but I guess RCP is not counting all the polls and probably trying to keep the race closer for the medias sake.
Vetting and reality. Fox, Limbaugh, Trump, the WSJ, CNN, Karl Rove, the Koch Brothers and so many more want you to believe in what they call their facts. But lets examine fact versus fiction.
Their fiction is that President Obama was born in Kenya, Africa as a spy, an enemy, a terrorist, a communist, a fascist, sent to infiltrate our government and what take our guns away? Then give them somehow to his fellow African Americans AND Mexicans (even though they AIN'T African's) to overthrow whites or some ridiculous crap. He also has caused massive unemployment (even though he has created 4.3 million jobs because that ain't enough). He has raised taxes (even though he hasn't) and he's going to take our guns away NEXT term (he hasn't this term because he's setting us up for suckers).
All Republicans know this is a fiction and are feeding this crap through their media outlets to gullible suckers simply to protect their tax breaks. Look at the guys doing it. Rupert Murdoch, Shawn Hannity, Trump, all the Republican donors and Congressmen, Limbaugh, the guys at CNN, Norquist, the Kochs. They're all filthy rich!
All right we all know that's a fiction including the right wing lunatics creating it. But compare that fiction to the following TRUTH. Romney was actually a bishop in the LDS church and a believer of multiple living gods who are living men (three men on this earth) who are supposedly alive and on this earth (more gods on other planets). They also believe all men can become god (scary given Romney's egos and that of his friend's). He also believes in the policies of Bush (another firm believer in God).
I don't want to criticize anyones religion here as I myself was raised a strict Roman Catholic but I am seriously starting to see why our forefathers wanted a strict separation of church and state.
Please compare their completely fictional character versus Romney's very real belief in an imaginary being(s), (in fact multiple imaginary beings that he believes he is becoming himself). Please properly vet this guy!

It is so comforting to know that some of us are watching carefully as the GOP continues to rape and ravage our country, divide and conquer, and obstuct justice by allowing nothing noteworthy be addressed in Congress lest the "Obama Beast" get credit for anything, big or small. It is terrifying to think that now that the Supreme Court has upheld Citizen's United that our government (or lack thereof) is now on the chopping block, up for sale to the highest bidder. The middle class or the remnants left of it, are continuing to disappear.
True, unfortunately is the fact that the (well-defined characteristics created by George Will in a moment of clarity) "bloviating ignoramuses" of this country are now running it. The asylum is being managed by the inmates, all of whom are part of the 1%. I have never in my whole life seen such extreme polarization of politics.
The exacting and blatantly descriptive term "bloviating ignoramus" screams for pleuralization because the thinkers as opposed to the "believers" are out-numbered 10 to 1.
well!!! when obama is packing his stuff in january to move back to chicago he can biob, "blame it on bush" although it wont make any sense then. he and eric holder can hold hands and skip to ma lou all the way to the land of lincoln.
I think you meant when Romney gives up on politics in January ands goes back to being a LDS Bishop, during his testimony at the Mormon tabernacle he can recall how he (Romney) was on every side of every issue and that Obama was to blame for the Bush/Cheney "Great Recession" because he was a "foreign plant from Kenya." *sigh*
RE: The healthcare rebates [average $150] that are coming to many because health insurance companies did not meet the "Obamacare" mandate for 80% directly to care/20% for overhead and profit -- Why is this benefit NOT mentioned all over the media? Why isn't the Obama campaign capitalizing on this?
RE: My daughter could not get on her husband's insurance because of pre-existing conditions. I said that would change in 2013 under "Obamacare". My daughter and son-in-law did not know this and did not believe me. They are Obama supporters and still don't know how to defend the law.
RE: Comparison to 1993 Republican healthcare plan to counteract the Clinton plan -- I heard clips of 1993 speeches by Republican leaders promoting a healthcare plan that almost exactly parallels "Obamacare." Newt Gingrich was expounding on the need for universal coverage mandate. It must have the mandate, he said. Other leaders were speaking on the need for removing caps and restrictions on pre-existing conditions. Why are these clips not on every Obama campaign add?
These facts MUST be disseminated widely. Please help make them known.
