A 3-point lead for the Republican is a “dead heat”. Words do have meaning, don’t they?

Obama and Romney in a "dead heat" because they are the same. Twins.

Same ineligibility.

Same RomneyCARE.

Same link to IAG and European Sharia.

Same link to Soros.

Does Bohnyour have a website? Or a Facebook page?

I think it's high time he got to know how all of us feel about his "golf match" with the stain and also how we feel about his caving in (the stain calls it "compromise") to the stain's demand for a debt ceiling increase.

In short, we need to let him know that there will be NO DEBT CEILING INCREASE AT ALL!

Should there be one, bohn-your can leave the vaunted halls of congress along with the rest of his dem/lib/prog/pop and rino buddies and buddy-ettes and go teach at a small liberal art college where he belongs.

Don’t you know if it were 49 Obama to 46 Romney they would call it an “unsurmountable lead” for the _resident?

Two things to take away here:

First, most voters are not paying attention.

Second, Obama’s numbers on the economy are his doom.

-——I think it’s high time he got to know how all of us feel about his “golf match”———

Oh come on. Nitpicking twaddle about a golf match. Not only do you not know what might have been discussed in an informal setting, You apparently don’t understand that those with opposing views can actually discuss the issues.

Twaddle, blather, drivel, balderdash.

And now the REALLY REALLY BAD NEWS:

In January 2009, the official U.S. unemployment rate was 7.6 percent. Today it is 9.1 percent.

When Barack Obama took office, the number of “long-term unemployed” in the United States was approximately 2.6 million. Today, that number is up to 6.2 million.

When Barack Obama was sworn in, there were nearly 32 million Americans on food stamps. Today, there are more than 44 million on food stamps.

According to the U.S. Census, the number of children living in poverty has gone up by about 2 million in just the past 2 years.

When Barack Obama took office, the U.S. national debt was 10.6 trillion dollars. Today it is 14.3 trillion dollars.

Only 66.8% of American men had a job last year. That was the lowest level that has ever been recorded in all of U.S. history.

Just since August 2010, 2 million more Americans have left the labor force.

In 2010, more than a million U.S. families lost their homes to foreclosure for the first time ever, and that number is expected to go even higher in 2011.

The U.S. dollar has fallen by 17 percent compared to other major national currencies since 2009.

Glad to see this, but I`d sure like to see someone besides Romney in a competitive position vs. Obama. That said, overall it`s great news.

The GOP field may start to shift after the next debate. It will have more of the real contenders than the last debate had.

Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann,
businessman Herman Cain,
former House Speaker Newt Gingrich,
Texas Rep. Ron Paul,
former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty,
former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and
former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum

will participate in the June 13 CNN debate on the campus of Saint Anselm College.

Looks like Romney’s lurch to the left (global warming, romneycare) is paying off with indies and soft dems.

Too bad there is a thing called the Republican primaries. Where he is basically tied with Palin.

Purely name recognition. Indy voters have no idea what Romney has stated in recent weeks. He is unlikely to be the nominee too many other good options without the baggage.

That’s a nice run down of stats you got there. Easy to copy/paste into lib media comment sections. I’d add gas prices as well.

The MSM is telling the brain dead to vote for Romney if you are not voting for Obama.

Three and a half conservatives, two liberals and a nutcase. Interesting field.

.....and gasoline was $1.83 a gallon when Obummer was sworn in on January 20th, 2009.
