Then why pray tell did not Obameyer challenge him on it in the debate? That is all that is needed to be asked.
If Axelrod is really as flummoxed as that clip makes it seem then the Dems are toast.
Their candidate can be a flummoxed buffon, or their campaign manager can be. But if they both are it spells doom at the polls.
It wont work this time. Over 70 million people saw the debate and saw Romney kick Obama’s ass. If Obama wanted to accuse Romney of lying about something he had every opportunity to say it right to his face. Accusing him after wards makes him look petty and pretty damn pathetic. The American people will see Obama like I see Obama, an empty suited douche bag who can’t admit he’s been defeated. Honestly, I already think Romney won the election, that is why Obama and his goons are in full attack mode. All Romney has to do is keep doing what he’s doing and he will win easily
Somehow I ended up on a left wing mailing list of Move On. This is an email from Move on, re how the left wing progressives feel about the debate:
Dear MoveOn member,
That was infuriating.
During last night’s presidential debate, Mitt Romney smirked his way through dozens of mischaracterizations, distortions, and outright lies. The moderator, Jim Lehrer, never cut him off. And now the mainstream media is saying that Mitt won the debate.
We can’t let Romney “win” the debate on a boatload of lies.
He lied about his tax plan, his deficit plan, and Medicare. He lied about what “Obamacare” would do. He lied, baldly and convincingly, about Obama’s entire presidency.1
We need to move quickly to set the record straight. Our online team worked overnight preparing a media blitz—including online ads targeted at swing-state voters—correcting the worst lies in an easy-to-share format.
Chip in $5 to get the truth out—countering Mitt’s lies.
If we don’t fight back now with the truth, some of those lies will stick, and Romney could pull ahead.
Already, Romney and his Super PAC friends have spent millions on blatantly false ads attacking President Obama for gutting work requirements for welfare and cutting $700 million from Medicare.
Last night was more of the same.
And research shows that when lies get repeated enough times people will believe them—no matter how outlandish they might seem. The only way to keep Romney honest is to make sure the facts get corrected on the spot.
We’re now in the moment when millions of undecided voters who don’t usually pay attention to politics start to focus.
This is it. This is what MoveOn’s massive online network is for. Let’s use it.
Please chip in $5.
Thanks for all you do.

“All Romney has to do is keep doing what he’s doing and he will win easily”
obama’s goose is cooked
That’s what Ive been saying since the debate..When people ask how come Romney is not putting out more Ads why should he..he just put out an Ad that 70 million people saw and it didn’t cost him a penny. What Obama and his minions now are doing is exactly what losers do, people who already know their goose is cooked, just go out screaming calling everyone a liar and hope that it sticks, it won’t stick.
Romney running an ad here in Fla debunking the middle class tax hike.
Well done with a site reference to the study supporting his position.
O and enablers are looking to emotions. R&R are using the old Dragnet

” Just the Facts”
“They’re floundering.”
It annoys me that “floundering” is now an accepted word! Ever since “Animal House” I guess. Actually, it goes a lot further back than that, centuries really. But to me, a flounder is a flatfish, and “to founder” is, well;
“foun·der
verb (used without object)
1.
(of a ship, boat, etc.) to fill with water and sink.
2.
to fall or sink down, as buildings, ground, etc.: Built on a former lake bed, the building has foundered nearly ten feet.
3.
to become wrecked; fail utterly: The project foundered because public support was lacking.
4.
to stumble, break down, or go lame, as a horse: His mount foundered on the rocky path.”
And those definitions make more sense in this case!
Well, back to reading the post,,,,,,,,,,,,, Sorry!
And bring some dollas from that Stafford Stash.... LOL
The Dims’ Dumb and Dumber: I never understand a single word they say, but they always make a mighty fine whine.
Can be? Or is?
I don’t believe it will work this time either, but they need a good spin and hope it will be in their favor
If the Romney campaign were doing something like this the media would already be saying their campaign is over, finished..but with Obama its just “Good strategy.” Obama is DONE..the only way the schmuck wins now is if he orders martial law and no elections take place, otherwise he’s finished and he knows it. The only reason why he goes to Hollywood and begs for more money is to help pay for his mega mansion in Hawaii that he’s purchasing
Not surprisingly, Anita Dunn, the former WH Communications Director, infamous for citing Chairman Mao as being her "go-to philosopher" is there, along with John Kerry and Axelrod et al. That is an important point, for it links the philosophy and philosopher whose influence is being felt throughout America today, but whose ideas are hidden behind a broad toothy on-and-off smile and a misleading promise of "caring."
Does anyone remember this report from early November 2008? "At a Virginia rally -— 'If you’ll stand with me, then I know that we can win Virginia and we can win this election and we can finally bring the change we need to Washington,' Obama told the estimated crowd of 35,000. 'I feel like we got a righteous wind at our backs here.'”
Upon checking his strange "righteous wind" comment, not surprisingly, there was this quote from Chairman Mao:
“The ill wind of opportunism is falling, the righteous wind of socialism is on the rise.”
In light of recent events, is it just possible that Anita Dunn wrote the remarks for the Virginia rally? After all, he is her "go to" philosopher.
There is no wonder that she has resurfaced as a debate prepper. After all, her "pupil" might forget some of Chairman Mao's best lines!
The ideas of Mao and Marx are the ideas of tyranny, and they are antithetical to the ideas of liberty as lived out in the lives of America's Founders, including Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison.
“Now, my countrymen, if you have been taught doctrines which conflict with the great landmarks of the Declaration of Independence…let me entreat you to come back. Return to the fountains whose waters spring close to the blood of the Revolution.” (Abraham Lincoln)

I belief this is what is meant with floundering.
founder is a completely different word
I did say that the word went back centuries,,,1570 or so. Buy I’m an old sailor and fisherman, and obama’s Ship of State is foundering, and will soon sink!
Not quite:
Use ACCUSATIONS and hope Mitt will waste his time on DEFENSE!
