Mitt Romney is losing the most important election of our lifetime. Don’t be deceived by the polls that show him “within the margin of error.” Don’t put your faith in last minute media-buys from the campaign’s gargantuan war chest.
Don’t expect the debates to turn things around. The president may not be an electrifying speaker, but he knows how to demagogue. His message will be: I love the middle class; Mitt Romney wants tax cuts for millionaires and eats children.
And, don’t count on the fact that public opinion is against Obama on almost every significant issue. (At no time since its passage has less than a majority favored repeal of Obamacare.)
The stars should be perfectly aligned for a Republican blowout this year. The economy is in the dumpster – deficits to dwarf anything we’ve seen in the past, the highest sustained unemployment since the Great Depression, anemic growth, huge tax hikes just around the corner, consumer prices through the ceiling – and the man responsible for it all is coasting to a second term.
The Governor, bless his bland little heart, is the worst candidate the GOP has fielded since Viagra Bob Dole – so bad he makes John McCain look like Harry Truman on his 1948 Whistle Stop Tour.
Almost every national poll shows Romney behind by 1 to 8 points – Rasmussen (Obama 47%, Romney 45%) Gallup (47% to 46%), Washington Post (52% to 44%), AP (47% to 46%) and Pew Research (51% to 43%).

“He is not a street fighter, he is a business professional and a successful one and he is smart enough to stay with his strengths. Maybe some would like a heroic leader to rally the country. I would settle for a competent man in a gray suit to work in the background and make the government function efficiently and within it’s constitutionally prescribed limits.”
It’s this false premise that is keeping many of you from realizing just why Romney isn’t leading by 10 points as any other candidate would be doing by now.
Herman Cain was the successful businessman. He ran companies that actually produced stuff. Bain Capital, primarily, deals in leverage, selling advice and management, and they make sophisticated bets. Well informed bets, mind you, but bets all the same. Just what, if any, of that experience did he take to Massachusetts? Presumably all of it, and what did he do in Massachusetts with that great business knowledge? Why, he out pinko-commied the pinko commies. I have clips of Romney calling coal companies “killers,” and there is documented evidence for his support of the global warming stuff and green energy scams, and that’s not including what he did to healthcare, abortion, gay marriage and every other leftist scam you can think of. All of these things are job KILLERS, but Mitt did not care.
So you guys are sitting here raining accolades on a candidate who is and always has been an empty suit. And it is because he is an empty suit that he isn’t leading Obama as any other candidate we could have run would be doing now.
Unfortunately, it seems like she does not. Her anger has never been directed at Obama.
The typical (too conservative for Romney) critique, oddly never appears on threads in which Romney is not part of the story, i.e. Obama job losses, Obama debt, Fast & Furious, Obamacare, etc. Threads where it is only possible to mock Obama.Quite curious, is it not? Do a search on any of the 'purists' names and I do not believe you'd find more than a handful, if any, posts condemning Obama.
These folks are curiously never outraged about Obama. Very strange.
Quite telling if left at that, but I believe if you look further, you'll see that (reposting the following from another thread) they'd be the type who'd knowingly elect a Hitler because, in their 'lily white purity' they couldn't vote for his not-conservative-enough opponent.
Since it's hard to believe that any conservative could be this imbecilic and illogical, it's becoming more and more apparent that these 'purists' are actually liberals pretending to be conservatives.
They say here that the polls are weighted toward the Messiah to demoralize us. I hope that is the case.
McCain was a real jerk; however, I voted for him as part of civic duty and knowing what would come with the Messiah.
Indeed. I can easily see why Romney doesn't spend advertising dollars there. That the Obama campaign finds it necessary is dumbfounding.
Nice I really think you deserve the prize this week:
imbecilic, illogical and nazi
Except for nazi, you hit on some new words for anyone who doesn’t tow your line of thinking.
Congratulations.
Great points, fellas.
There you go projecting again. I never used or inferred the word of Nazi. Only you did and then attributed it to me.
Once again you live up to the low standards you’ve all set for yourselves.
Really?
Then your prize wont be as big for just using imbecilic, illogical.
Really. Now you think that of those who voted in the direct election of Hitler, ALL were members of the Nazi party (Nationalsozialismus), just because Hitler was of that party?
Really?
Applying that today, and to me and other Independents, since were are neither Democrats nor Republicans, you're then saying that if we vote for a person in the Democrat party, we become a Democrat? What if we vote for a Republican President but a Democrat Senator? Does that makes us schizophrenic? Perhaps to your way of thinking, if Independents we're not allowed to vote for a Democrat or a Republican because we don't belong to either party?
Do you even why I used the words, "imbecilic and illogical" to describe how you all think yet?
but more likely, these type of fake conservative purists will be the first ones to condemn bammey when he takes over our 401's, requires Catholics to observe sharia, and orders all 18 yros to become brown shirts....
words fail me at this ignorance and this arrogance, let alone the evil these people are committing....
nuclear war...here we come...
What's this "discourage" crap?
I'm going to the polls 30 minutes before they open. My signs are up, my money is in. I tell everybody who will listen to vote for Romney. I CANNOT be discouraged.
However...
There were excellent reasons not to nominate Romney, reasons that were discussed to death here for months, reasons that 65% of GOP primary voters agreed with. It must never, NEVER happen again that a plurality of primary votes is sufficient to be nominated. That is plain crazy.
If Romney loses, I will be here on November 7 to say, "I told you so". If I were a betting man, I would bet every nickel I have on Obama's reelection.
But discouraged? Like, discouraged so I don't vote?
Not a chance.

And a mind reader to boot, you get a little prize for the attempt to deflect, keep trying I’m sure by the end of the day you’ll get another big prize.
You're the one who 'read minds' and indicated that ONLY members of the Nazi party voted for Hitler.
I logically disagreed and pointed out the error in your thinking. Now you're lying and stating I'm deflecting rather than admitting you were wrong with what you said. LOL
Really? Fake conservatives, that is a hoot.
And keeping a list, my goodness how totally totalitarian of you.
I have news for you it was middle of the road conservatives who fell for the line “only Romney can win this”, and we are stuck with a terrible candidate, beyond terrible.
And the people who are on full board supporting Romney, are the ones falling apart about Romney’s incompetence and flip flops by the day.
I agree with you the arrogance of Romney supporters is breathtaking, sorta like Romney himself..
logical disagreed - folmao
I will gladly admit I am wrong, if and when that occurs.
Never heard of him, but whoever he is, he’s not helpful. Tell him to go away until after we get rid of Obama.
Yes, you're wrong. I NEVER USED THE WORD "NAZI" to describe you or your ilk. YOU DID.
What I stated: YOU'D BE THE TYPE TO ELECT A HITLER because you're 'too pure and lily white' to pull the lever for the only opponent who'd have been able to beat him. AND THAT'S A FACT. Had more people voted for Hitler's opponent (Paul von Hindenburg, Independent), perhaps there wouldn't have been a second run off election because the von Hindenburg would have captured the majority of the vote, despite the 'voter fraud' that occurred. Maybe the people who voted for some third or fourth party were also hoping to have their 'lily white and purist' candidate.
If this were the primaries, I'd still be backing Newt, just as I was during that time.
But it isn't. It's over.
Now the focus is on booting an evil Marxist out of the White House by getting behind the only person who will have ANY chance of doing that, unfortunately, it's a person I didn't want to be left standing, but I'm more interested in the future of this country than worrying about voting for a 'lily white conservative'.
You're not, and you're part of the problem. As my friend mkjessup recently aptly stated (in part):
...I put my own personal preferences aside and have chosen to act in the best interest of America, which means that in order to get rid of that filthy Communist in the White House, the only possible way of accomplishing that is to pull the lever for Romney & Ryan, do you know of another way? If so, by all means enlighten us. You may begin at any time.So, do you know of any other way to get rid of that filthy Communist in the White House besides pulling the lever for Romney & Ryan? If so, by all means enlighten us.
Jokers like you are quick to sling around that 'MittBot' label when even a casual review of my posting history will show that up until last month, I took a back seat to NOBODY in opposing Romney as the GOP nominee.
What you fail to understand is that the removal of 0bama is the highest priority in this election. And if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem, so you can knock off that mewling about "sanity and reality returning to the conservative movement" because if 0bama is returned to office to complete the task of destroying what is left of this Republic, there isn't going to BE any 'movements', conservative or otherwise and that is because so-called 'conservatives' like you decided to remain lily white and 'pure' and voted for 0bama by default by refusing to vote for the only political ticket with a chance of defeating that lying Kenyan scumbag.
You can add me to your list, I’m there proudly.
