Did you really expect the Obama shills in the media would be kind to ANY Republican?? Did you truly believe they would have been favored say Newt over Obama??

After listening to Mark Levin yesterday, I am highly enthused for Romney.

Yes, I reacted the same way. It's not about our perfect or imperfect candidate (although I was greatly disappointed that we picked Romney as our standard bearer), it is about the future of our nation. We are precariously close to the tipping point. This is my 11th presidential campaign and I have never been so anxious about the future.

“I expect Obama to win. If Romney loses, the GOP will disintegrate.”


If Obama should win, America will disintegrate. And the producers that are left in this once great country will go Galt. I am hoping for the best, but planning for the worst.

Roger Simon is the one of the worst of the worst JournOlists/presstitutes and I read his articles with that in mind. Flop sweat is what I sense these days with his lies. ITWOMS (In the words of Martha Stewart), It’s a good thing.

Yeah - it’s kind of sad that Romney has what used to be considered good qualities: humility and dignity. But people now prefer a self-important blowhard jackass like 0bama. Times have not changed for the better in that regard.

AFAIK, the following facts are TRUE:

1. Republicans now outnumber Democrats in terms of total registrations.

2. The majority, if not all, of the polls show Romney winning the Independent vote by at least a small margin and in many cases a substantial margin.

Given that, the only way that Obama can lead in any poll that has a honest turnout model (R or D by +1 or so) is for more Republicans to vote for Obama than Democrats vote for Romney. Personally, I believe that in not a possibility.

So I’m stuck. I have no answer. But I still trust Rasmussen, I just can’t explain his results.

While the margin of victory will be smaller than 2008 "The Divine One" will win. The margin of victory will be about 2%.

The reaqsons for "The Divine One's" victory being "The Divine One" has a lock on the black, Mexican, Asiatic Jewish, and degenerate white votes.(I.E. the Marin County, California Liberals, Gays!). Romney comes across as a nonentity. The Republicans talk vague generalities while the Demoncrats promise specific benefits NOW! People need cash NOW not Free Enterprise tomorrow. The Democrats will enjoy the benefits of massive voter fraud. The incumbent always has the stronger position. The Democrats are far more cohesive and creative than the Republicans. Democrats know what they want.

Romney is going to lose. Do you think Soros with his Spanish machines is going to allow Obamaloney to lose.
I think that is a part of this Gallup threat by Axelrod.
If polls are saying Obamaloney is winning, then when Soros pulls the switch and changes the vote. They can say look i told you we were ahead.

As Sarah Palin rescued John McCain from what would have been a really disasterous rout into a merely lost election, Paul Ryan will close a LOT of the gap that Mitt Romney had in relation to the inertial forces in politics that favor Obama/Biden.

Obama/Biden have their own problems with public perception, which fuels the desire for “ABO” with the general voting public, but it is largely up to Mitt Romney himself to close the sale. Soft words and reliance fo gentle persuasion will not do it. A Chris Christie attack-dog assault on the known and glaringly obvious errors and lack of judgment by the Current Regime in the White Hut would be the hard-sell strategy that is a much more sure means of securing the needed majority of voters, and most importantly, the few really important voters in the swing states (and there may be more swing states out there than anybody is now predicting).

True, the lesser of two evils is still evil, but how do we determine the degree and intensity of evil? Because that is all we are now being offered, and one’s definition of “evil” may well be another’s definition of “virtue”.

Two attacks then, one is on the presence of evil, and the other is on the very definition of “evil”. Not only must the other side’s agenda be declared as evil in many of its applications, WHY it is evil must also be determined and explained, in simple language. We are dealing with the American public, after all, and much of that public is not well-informed. That Jeffersonian ideal has been eclipsed over much of the past century.

So we are left with 15-second sound bites and video images.

Make them count. And if that means pulling out all the stops, then do not shrink from the task.

I really listened to Romney and Ryan .... and now I will be voting FOR them.

Oh, how CUUUUTE!!!

You actually BELIEVE the words of a politician during an election campaign? Everyone, come here! Look at this one! Isn't that precious??

(Hint: Obama, Dubya, and Clinton made plenty of promises as well. Few of the public supporters of any of those 3 were terribly pleased by their presidencies. Obama's secret financiers and race-pimps are clearly pleased, of course, but few others.)

..".he has thought this through, he really does have a plan, and I sat there realizing this is the right man for the times."

Thanks for your much encouraging words.

Up to this point Ryan and Romney have been playing Cassandra to Obama's gift horse. It didn't work out well for Cassandra, she never even got the chance to say "I told you so!"

Voters don't want to hear this. They want to hear conviction in a candidate's voice that he will make things better, they want to see, in their mind's eye, an image of a prosperous and peaceable future. They want reassurance of our strength and potential.

If the Romney campaign doesn't address this essential psychology he may lose. At this point it's his to lose.

I read today that 'bam's is moving in this direction and I fear he may take the high ground.

If they had generated 70,000 folk before they cancelled the outside shingding a day before the rally, don’t you think those folk who were bused from other cities and states, which were on their way to the football stadium, would have being standing miles outside the convention arena trying to get. It was a fairy tale and they KNEW they couldn’t fill the stadium! This was a disaster for them, they only had a few hundred in the overflow room! So where were the thousands? Don’t be fooled my friends, these folks along with Politico are in denial and their report is pure BULLCRAP! KEEP THE FAITH FOLKS. Don’t let these bastards fool you or demoralize you!! Who are you going to believe your eyes or their deceiving account of the convention? WE KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN...so gird up and stay the course... HAVE FAITH...God will help us!!

There’s a thread with a live feed of Romney’s rally going on now in Virginia.

Take a look and a listen.

Virtually overnight, the Democrats have become the party of strength and loyalty to country. This is a huge role reversal.

This guy is INSANE@!@
