And if Romney was struggling so bad why would he be running ads in WI

Struggling is an understatement. His own ppl today said he is behind in OH around 9 points.

Ah! So, you swallowed the propaganda in Politico whole.

Which raises the question: Are you really in favor of Obama winning? Or are you just gullible?

Oh, goodness, stop blaming conservatives and free speech.

Blame the party; maybe he can pull out a good debate but

you are dealing with people who seem to want a government safety net.

Those people are being indoctrinated every day.

If the anti Romney types had a plausible plan....but they’re all over the place. They just don’t like Romney, but they also didn’t like the other candidates in the primary. Oh, one will say Newt, one will say Santorum, Perry, etc., but there is no ‘plan’ as I see it. Take the senate? Good plan, except for one little problem - there is a man in the White House willing and able to just sign executive orders to bypass the legislative branch entirely.

The bad economy actually helps Obama because of this.

Is that what you want? I don't want the few crumbs the feds want to give and I don't believe that is want most people want either but the media will tell you that. Oh by the way did you know you are gay and think marriage is between all who want it and God is so yesterday that is what the media tells us. Think for yourself use the brain and common sense you were born with and vote accordingly.

For crying out loud, he is getting an expected and normal convention bounce. It will fade. I think we are fairly well positioned.

“I hope all the virulent Romney-haters are happy, stay home, vote third party, and let’s move “Forward” to another four years of Obama, after which there is nothing to worry about, because there isn’t going to be anything left of the US as we know it.”

First off, you really need to relax.

Secondly, it’s too early to predict the end result of the election. Give it a week or two. Then look at Rasmussen in the swing states and you’ll have a better idea of what reality is. Lord knows I’m no fan of willard or hussein, but I think it’s going to be a close election when all is said and done.

Anyone who thinks they can tell you with certainty whether willard or hussein is going to win at this point is full of it.

It’s not what I want and I will be voting against 0bama by voting for Romney......but I just think 0bama wins in a landslide. Too many people do want he free stuff, no matter how crappy it is.

Not exactly. The GOP is led by people who went to pretty much the same universities as the Rats. They all imbibed the same cool aid that has passed for intellectual discourse for over 70 years. The ‘the US has to restrain itself and settle for small advantages so the ‘international community’ can move towards a global order of laws and institutions’. Hitler and Tojo were the only tyrants this class ever encountered that they assessed correctly and then for the wrong reasons. Now these people really believe it is the battle for the ‘independent center’ that matters. The difference is that while the dems believe the same garbage about those very intelligent centrists (that is why they are always going on about ‘extremism’, is is supposed to be a secret dog whistle for the very intelligent centrists) they also have a a galaxy of special interest elements that build their voter block, the biggest being the blacks. So they constantly pimp for these groups, say absurd things to convince them that the gravy train will keep running if the rats remain in power. Unfortunately by going to those fine schools such as Yale or Princeton the GOP ‘leaders’ have learned to despise their party base as stupid racist babbitts who they have to make half hearted gestures to every four years. Unfortunately it will take a true catastrophe of super Pear harbor dimensions to possible break the strangle hold these over educated fools have on the political system. But China might just provide such an event.

They do support that lifeline and would come out to vote to hold onto that; sounds reasonable.

yep, story doesn’t fit well for Zer0.

Romney is way up in fundraising and cash. Zer0 is in debt. omney’s crowds are huge Zer0 barely fills a small venue
Pollsters tell us Zer0 is way up.

How does one explain this dissonance?

Good point.

And if Obama was coasting he wouldn’t be running ads in CA.

You are correct. There are many non-conservatives on the FR.
That’s O.K. honesty is all we ask. However there are TROLLS out here who may claim conservatism( usually have patriotic tag-names) but whose purpose is to deceive and distort.

” - - - “Our problem in our country is

* not that we’re not paying enough taxes,” Mr. Romney said.
*”It’s that we’re spending too much money
*and the economy is not growing as it could
*and should.” - - - “

Spacing and * are mine, the rest is from Romney the confused RINO.

BTW, how about just abolishing Obama”Care?”

This story is pure BS

I saw a story earlier from The Examiner that showed Romney with a solid lead in Electoral College votes, so one of the stories is wrong.
