Despite repeated attempts to paint Republicans as bad for Medicare and Social Security, President Obama and Sen. Bill Nelson are essentially tied with their Republican rivals when it comes to Florida retirees and baby boomers, a new AARP poll shows.

I’ve been tossing my AARP crap in the can too. Guess I’ll have to start sending it back. Thanks for the idea.

AARP = another branch of ACORN and all the ‘newly named’ groups that have oozed from ACORN.

I absolutely cannot believe there are that many stupid people that would vote for Obama. Do they not see what he has done to this country?

AARP poll? Yea, I believe that. I can assure you that they are not tied in my state. Romney will win Florida in a landslide.

You can bet your sweet patootie that the purpose of this poll was intended to mold public opinion, but the results didn’t come out exactly the way they planned. The ratio is much more in Romney’s favor than the results indicated, but self-preservation dictated that AARP not go completely insane by showing Obama in the lead.

Look at VA,. he was losing but now he’s supposed to be wining.

How th ehell can he have taken the lead, I mean things are worse than last year so why all of a sudden he gets more voters to go for him?

Now I write “How’s that ObamaCare thing working out for you?” and mail them back in their postage paid envelope.

They will stop sending you postage paid envelopes. Everyone I know does the same thing and now AARP took them off their people to mail list and if they do send something, they never give them prepaid envelopes.

"I absolutely cannot believe there are that many stupid people that would vote for Obama. Do they not see what he has done to this country?"

If you're talking about the 'gimme crowd' who are on welfare, food stamps, unlimited unemployment benefits, etc. then of course they want Obama re-elected to keep their gravy train going!!

All others need to vote in great numbers to overcome this disaster!!

I honestly think that he lost our state the first time.

GA media looked into fraud and found that a 100,000 votes should not have been counted just from two states .

Then there are the illegals, dead people and those vote early vote often.

On the night of the election obama lost 53 to 47 but early voting once counted made obama win.

Now we have Scott and hopefully he will investigate unlike Crist.

I don’t understand why. Is it because zero is likeable?

I was about to post something similar. I really don't understand why Romney isn't doing better (unless a majority of these polls are so-called "push polls"). For goodness sakes Obama has been worse than Carter, can no one on his side see that, even just for a second!?

Putting aside for a moment his (Romney's) tepid "conservatism", and also ignoring the very small minority of the general population that won't vote for Romney because he's Mormon (which is precisely why such people can be ignored; despite how vocal they appear on FR, they truly are irrelevant in this election)...so putting these two factors aside (Romney's faux conservatism, which is a significant fact, and that some won't vote for him because he's Mormon, which isn't a significant fact).....

....I can not for the life of me understand how roughly 40-45% of this population would vote for him again. It's the same percentage in virtually every demographic. How!? Have these people not been paying attention? Are they stupid? Do they just not care, and or care too much for the wrong things (like voting Democrat because their family always did, or voting for Obama because they still believe it would be racist to not vote for him).

What is it? I mean, this is, as Kasey Kasem once said, "ponderous man, just ponderous".....

EVERYONE from every demographic should be going "heavily" for Romney at this point, that's what I don't understand (hence my previous post on this thread).

It's like I'm living in a fairy tale land with no happy ending in sight. ....How can even 40% of any demographic chosen, STILL plan to vote for Zero?!? HOW!.

...< logs off the thread mumbling something about the stupidity of half of America .....>

I neglected to say that this is a partial client list for Hart Research Associates, the pollster.
