As we enter 2012, the presidential candidates would do well to wrap their minds and messages around these seven mathematical facts:
1. Every day, the U.S. government takes in $6 billion and spends $10 billion. This means that every day the federal government spends $4 billion more dollars than it has.
2. The real unemployment rate is a jaw-dropping 11 percent.
3. Every fifth man you pass on your way to work is now out of work.
4. College graduates are now 34% less likely to find a job under Obama than they were under President George W. Bush.
5. Every seventh person you pass on the sidewalk now relies on food stamps.
6. The ravages of the Obama economy now mean that more Americans live under the federal poverty line than at any time in U.S. history since records have been kept.
7. Under President Barack Obama, every fifth child in America now lives in poverty...

I personally don’t care who the nominee is anymore. I just want to vote against Obama.
Beck seems to have completely lost it in terms of political analysis. The left is always smug. They always act like they are in power, always act like the are winning the next election, and that their candidates/officials are far superior to ours. Seven years ago they acted like Kerry was some sort of superman, and gore before that. Hillary and Edwards were also portrayed as beloved and brilliant, with no evidence.
Of course they are going to act the way they do. It is the norm amongst the leftists.
My theory on Romney is that If I wanted to Vote for Obama I would vote for the Democrat one rather than the Republican one.
1-5 are excellent observations suppressed by the liberal media.
But 6 and 7 are meaningless, because the definition of “poverty” shifts like the sands of the Sahara, and cannot be counted upon for any rational discourse. According to the latest leftist definition, 50% of the population is in poverty. As high as the unemployment numbers are, do you believe that 1/2 of the population is out selling apples on the corner?
“I personally dont care who the nominee is anymore. I just want to vote against Obama.”
My thought exactly. The next president will probably nominate 3 judges to the SCOTUS. We can’t let 0 get another term.
“You’re suggesting that Freepers are mindless because they dislike Romney? Frankly, Romney is the one sure bet to lose to Obama and you seem to be suggesting we nominate him?”
You have a comprehension problem - that’s not what I said at all. There’s too much erroneous paraphrasing on this site these days and it’s causing people to be worked up into a frenzy!
Troll AllinModeration, signed up today to let us know that he’s better off today under Obama.
Zotted.

All traces of “AllinModeration” have disappeared but he said he was better off today than he was 4 years ago and to leave everything as is.
No one in the MSM will publish this list - and NOT ONE debate moderator will bring up any of these issues. That's how it works.
Hey, yo, like ORomney is the same as Obama, just a little bit lighter.
So, really, with that choice, there is NO choice, same same. It really, is just a replay of Obama-McCain. Do you want to go over the cliff at light-speed? Or just Mach 2?
Absolutely true, everyone says obama is dumb and has no idea what he is doing, but these statements are based on the premise that obama is trying to help our country. Obama is very smart, but his intentions are the destruction of America the Beautiful.
We'd better hope and pray that Mitt Romney doesn't win the nomination, because all he'll do is throttle back Obama's agenda by a few mph.
Just sayin...
He must be a tsar.
Poverty today is what middle class was in 1960.
Your average “poor” person today has : multiple color TV’s, cell phones, air conditioning, 1-2 automobiles and has controlled rent. Many of these things were considered luxury items fifty years ago.
I am not talking about real poor people that live on an Indian reservation out west or in some coal mining town in the Appalacian Mtns.
A lot of the poor people today are just working the govt. system.
