Yes, still deep in the woods. Still, Reuters? It might as well be a Debka/RT poll.
With Romney, you must not celebrate too early. Yes. We are still in the woods, because MSM chicanery is still at play. If it were hopeless, they would be flailing wildly, resorting to desperate demagoguery. But by the lies they are telling, it appears we are still in the woods. A simple biased poll is SOP. When they abandon the SOP and start running around scaring people, the woods are thinning out some. When they start inventing, wild, improbable tales to scare people, start calling Romney a Nazi (to be one he’d need actual convictions:-), then we’re almost out of the woods.
Why is this incumbent president different from all others? Because he’s a false Messiah. He made his initial run into a religious revival, and then he disappointed people. Disappointed wild-eyed acolytes are desperate for some miraculous comeback. They long to continue believing. But they are the fanatics of the movement, and if they make too much noise, they scare the people who just believe the false Messiah is a politician and nothing more, but want to support him for whatever pragmatic reasons. When all hope of keeping the non-fanatics with The One dims, the fanatics start making more noise, hoping to convert the non-fanatics with their fervor. When that fails, they simply go nuts, refusing to accept the obvious, that their Messiah is a fraud with an oversize ego.
So yes. We are still deep in the woods. The crazier they get, the more hopeful I get. The saner they sound, the more afraid I get. This poll is the usual run-of-the-mill lie, so it scares me.
