First off, it ain’t over yet. Ohio in the latest poll has Romney up by 1-2 points only, and a lot of other recent polls that show him down. Hopeful, yes, but we mustn’t write it off as a done deal.
However, I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. I think people are giving the debate too much credit. Part of that, as someone else noted, was that the damn media has never put obama on the spot in four years. So for the American people to see his ideas as what they are (empty rhetoric and campaign platitudes) I think was eye opening. I think that we might need to look at the impact of Dinesh D’Sousa’s 2016 as well. Those weren’t all Republicans watching. A lot of independents saw it out of natural curiosity and it confirmed the doubts many of them already had. And then there was Benghazi, of course, which has been amateur hour from day 1.
The democrats have squandered their air tight policy making ability they had in 2009 in a sensational way. Pelosi and Reid, far from helping Axelrod and Jarrit (however you spell the commie’s name) see the err of their ways, have been adding gasoline to the fire. Obamacare (minus Nebraska), cap and trade (horrendously stupid bill that gave billions in new taxes to 501c3 liberals), no federal budget for 3 years, unending budget increases into the forseeable future (see the youtube videos of Sen Sessions grilling OMB), harry reid and his ridiculous claims about Romney’s taxes, Pelosi’s absolutely brain dead hypocrisy (”we have to pass it in order to find out what’s in it”), the president just released his blueprint for 2012 agenda last week (which was an absolute joke)...I could go on.
Anyone who votes for obama (technically axelrod/jarritt) is a stupid fool.
I left one thing out. I’m for Romney because he’s better than Obama. But he has to have balls to cut our spending, or else we’ll be Greece in no time. What I’m really going to the polls and hoping for is the sight of valerie jerritt and david axelrod dragging their shit out of the west wing in disgrace. That’s all I want. Oh, and seeing chrissy mathews cry.
