It's The Math, Stupid!: 7 Devastating Facts About 2012
Breitbart News ^ | December 27, 2011 | Wynton Hall

Posted on 12/27/2011 9:43:31 AM PST by redstateone

As we enter 2012, the presidential candidates would do well to wrap their minds and messages around these seven mathematical facts:

1. Every day, the U.S. government takes in $6 billion and spends $10 billion. This means that every day the federal government spends $4 billion more dollars than it has.

2. The real unemployment rate is a jaw-dropping 11 percent.

3. Every fifth man you pass on your way to work is now out of work.

4. College graduates are now 34% less likely to find a job under Obama than they were under President George W. Bush.

5. Every seventh person you pass on the sidewalk now relies on food stamps.

6. The ravages of the Obama economy now mean that more Americans live under the federal poverty line than at any time in U.S. history since records have been kept.

7. Under President Barack Obama, every fifth child in America now lives in poverty...

many do not KNOW these 7 facts (and the others).

Greta had some upcoming college graduates on her show and asked the most pressing issue. All said the economy, but one kid from George Washington University summed it up. No matter what he would vote for Obama, and if the economy got worse he would have no trouble blaming it on the Republican Congress.

Did you see them say Obama had a jobs bill but the republican congress would not let Obama pass it?

Unreal!

Beck seems to have completely lost it in terms of political analysis.

Beck believes we are beyond a political solution until we clean up our own act. He may be more right than wrong.

The fix has been in all along, the grave yards and paid voters who excede the number of legal voters in a district has not changed.

The POS “asswipe” should expect to be re-elected.

“He will be re-elected if it’s left to mindless Freepers on the anti-Romney bandwagon.”

You certainly do have BALLS. It's surprising you have not been zotted for your remark quoted above. The main “mindless Freeper” on the anti-Romney bandwagon around here happens to be the owner of this forum.

Makes me even more confident of my theory.

That the GOP doesn't want to win the White House in 2012 - because it's too late to escape another "Great Depression" - and they would prefer a Democrat be in office, so they can lay the blame squarely at 0bama's feet.

The next time you hear a Freeper complain about this, remind them that they have to get out and vote for the GOP nominee, no matter who it is!

actually, no.

i won't vote for a republican progressive any more then i would vote for a democrat progressive. the RNC is littered with them and they need to go.

if it takes another round of dem progressives, so be it. the people should be forced to understand who they are, what they are pushing for, and what their lead will produce

as for 0bama... if he gets back on the ballot, that's pure failure on the part of the RNC 'leadership'

he's not eligible and no amount of stupid sauce can change that

better off now than 4 years ago - must be out of his mind, or owns a firearms store (doubt it)

Exactly right! But instead, I’m seeing the same bullcrap being spewed here and elsewhere as was being spewed by the so-called righties right before the 2006 and 2008 elections. We must think of it as voting AGAINST Obama and the socialist Democrats....vs. voting for whoever wins the GOP nomination. We REALLY can’t afford to be picky and purist at this point in America’s demise.

Where did you find that 60-year old picture of me? :)

Seriously, I wouldn’t want to be a member of a forum where the principle didn’t consider my opinion after reading what I write very carefully.

Understand that Jim Rob has done his homework on Romney, and has developed a severe intolerance for those who apologize for, or defend him. The same is true of most Freepers.

The debate about Romney is over. Anyone supporting him here, will draw the zot upon discovery. Same as any Obot.
