WONDERFUL NEWS! Economic Indicator Sharply UP!

I am delighted to report that the economic outlook is much better in one particular area: The "Fake 'Gaffe' Manufacturing Index", or the FMGI.

The oft-overlooked FGMI covers the 'news and opinion' segment of the economy, and measures the number of false, misleading, or trumped-up 'gaffes' that any given Republican is noted to have made.

The most recent ginned-up 'gaffe' is sourced from Mitt Romney's debate quote, where he speaks of using "whole binders full of women" to help in locating prospects for positions in his years as Massachusettes Governor, was immediately mined and harvested by many in the Pravda Press, including this piece by CNN. The ommisson of the word 'resumes' in that line was sufficient to allow this 'gaffe' to be manufactured wholesale.

Of course, this is not the only contribution to the FGMI index: There were many additional tons of newsprint and billions of internet packets dedicated to such fake 'gaffes' as:

• Romney allegedly insulting the British on Olympic security concerns,
• Romney allegedly insulting nearly half the American population by correctly observing that 47 percent of the population is dependent on government, and thusly has a motivation to vote for Big Government Obama.
• When speaking about firing the current Administration, the Fake 'Gaffe' Manufacturing sector was able to twist this into the concept that Romney likes firing all people.

Fake 'Gaffe' Manufacturing experts are unanimous in expecting that the FGMI numbers will continue to rise for the foreseeable future.The experts cite a highly partisan press and media culture in America, overwhelmingly dominated by liberals and those who favor Democrats. The trend is likely to continue until November 7th, at which time it is expected that the FMGI index will dive abruptly.

Please stay aware of this important manufacturing index in the months ahead, with the knowledge that as the FGMI numbers rise, that the prospects of Mr. Romney defeating President Obama mirror that rise.

Finally! A part of the economy that is rapidly recovering!

[rovenstinez]

Does anyone else remember that the economy reached it’s peak and started to DROP, the day that Obama clinched the nomination of the Democratic Party. I would say that the market is smelling a scent of victory, and businesses are ready to go back and do business in the marketplace.

This one is very short, but as the Freeper nathanbedford has observed, having the ability to communicate with an economy of words may actually be a wonderful skill. :)

This hopefully is one of the Sometimes-Funny ones.

LOL... already contacted Admin and Sidebar... hope they get to this because otherwise the posts will be about the title, not the text. LOL

The manure industry is also doing well among Liberals MSM and this Administration.
Because we always knew they were full of crap.

[bray]

America is ready to return to a dumb, stumbling, bumbling President. It’s been tough watching all those hapless commie mediots with nothing to write about.

Pray for America

[Lazamataz]

Good point! But remember, bovine manure is an important component, utilized when manufacturing Fake ‘Gaffe’ units. :)

B-I-N-G-O !


Least we forget that the Democrats took control of Congress in 2006.

I thought of you after posting this. This is borderline ‘Semmens-esque’, I feel. :)

[American Constitutionalist]

Gaffe Muffins.

[Lazamataz]

LOL!

Maybe that's what GM truly stands for!

[American Constitutionalist]

I always thought it mean:

Government Motorsmade inChina

GMC.

Oh- I thought you were going to use gas prices as an inverse indicator for growth in the economy.

Who would have thought that the markets (oil futures) would know Obama was going to be such a screw up?

Conversely, does the high price of gas now mean that the markets are :pricing in a Romney victory?

Mr.Obama, please explain this new leading economic indicator to us.

[RMDupree]

The FMGI is a result of the “new tone” in Washington. :-)

Romney could get caught saying “Don’t stop.” and the press would immediately change the quote to “Don’t! Stop!”.

Sheesh.

[American Constitutionalist]

( * Oh- I thought you were going to use gas prices as an inverse indicator for growth in the economy. * ).

But it is... Obama was right... Gas ( stinky kind, hot air ) prices IS a indicator of growth of more inflated numbers and BS in Obama's make believe economy.

See ? it's all how you word it.

[no-to-illegals]

Gee Laz. Are you promoting this index for profit purposes? I just can’t imagine you would do that!

[RMDupree]

I would say that the market is smelling a scent of victory, and businesses are ready to go back and do business in the marketplace.

I agree. I just hope they wait until Romney wins before making any moves since the Dems would claim any positive market movements as signs of an Obama-policy recovery.

[American Constitutionalist]

" Oh- I thought you were going to use gas prices as an inverse indicator for growth in the economy."

In the liberal mindset higher gas prices is always a indicator of economic growth. ( the taxes, that is ).

[RedMDer]

Support Free Republic

This M R N
equates low gas prices to a bad economy.

[buffaloguy]

I think your newly minted economic indicator should go to the Drudge Report. FMGI has a snappy ring to it.

[Lazamataz]

LOL! I would love it if this got in the Drudge Report!! :)

[Lazamataz]

RED! How the heck are ya! With the FGMI doing so well, perhaps more people can afford to contribute to FR!

[Lazamataz]

Just consider me the Screamin’ Mad Money Kramer of Free Republic!

[Lazamataz]

America is ready to return to a dumb, stumbling, bumbling President. It’s been tough watching all those hapless commie mediots with nothing to write about.

In just that one way, alone, an R&R victory will stimulate the economy!

[no-to-illegals]

LOL ... knew there was something going on. A confession?

[RedMDer]

LOL! I love it.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

This is merely a skirmish in Romney’s War on Women. He has exposed the fallacy of them being equal to men by exposing how fragile they really are. If this comment could be so hurtful then.....well you just hurt to easy.

[Lazamataz]

LOL! True!

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

But.... but..... what about Peak Gaffe?

[nathanbedford]

The trick is to be economical with words but not with the truth. I aspire to both but truth compels me to admit that one of the two has eluded me.

[Lazamataz]

Peak Gaffe is a MYTH! lol

[Lazamataz]

Your works are phenomenal, though.

Please don't be hard on yourself.

That's my job. ;^)

[EQAndyBuzz]

“Least we forget that the Democrats took control of Congress in 2006.”

pssst... January 2007.

[American Constitutionalist]

Ok,, I should have said the Democrats won the election in 2006 and took office in 2007..
But, I wanted to push the time back as far as I can to blame it on the Democrats.

[Madame Dufarge]

Look, a second-hand gaffe for them to report in a bigger font than they used to report the D-Day invasion!

"Romney's Thuggish Son Threatens the President!!!"

Tagg Romney wanted to rush down to the debate state and take a swing at Obama

[Lazamataz]

Second-hand gaffe has been proven to be cancerous. Because of that, gaffeing is no longer permitted in indoor work environments, or within 50 feet of any building entrance.

[kevkrom]

I saw something a few days ago about a rebound in consumer confidence. Oddly enough, it came at just the same time Romney started breaking ahead in the national polls. Coincidence?

[Madame Dufarge]

Egad.

OK, headline change:

"Like Father, Like Son: Romney Family Responsible for More Cancer Deaths!"

[skinkinthegrass]

[TheConservativeParty]

The pic at #21, appears to show Obummer already in defeat.
He looks tired and resigned to the landslide Carter-esque shellacking he’s about to get in November. I bet he’s picked out some nice digs in Hawaii already with a nice Choom Garden in the back yard.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank you so much for your amusingly disturbing essay-post, dear Laz!

[Lazamataz]

For me, “Brevity is the soul of ‘not really having a lot to say.’”

LOL

[Paladin2]

Are Viagra sales holding up?

[Lazamataz]

(hug) THANKS!

[Lazamataz]

Are Viagra sales holding up?

I'll check with the staff. I did hear the Dept. Head was pleased.

[skinkinthegrass]

For me, “Brevity is the soul of ‘not really having a lot to say.’I'm listening while surfin' the web....”like "LOL!" ?...

[skinkinthegrass]

my dear laz,If lies / falsehoods is all yah got, of course; you can..(must)..pile-it-on.

[FourtySeven]

Yay finally some good news!
