So let me get this straight...

The economy is sputtering badl, and people are becoming more optimistic.

The embassies in three MidEast countries were attacked and al-Qaeda flags hoisted in two of them, and an ambassador was viciously murdered... and Americans still rate Obama higher on foreign policy issues.

And overall, Obama`s approval rating is at or near 50% and he has leads vs. Romney in a host of critical states.

I no longer understand American voters .. at all.

I understand American voters when I recall a pair of bluesmen named Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, who long before they had to became opportunistic hacks, unlistenable when I saw them, embarrassing, and still continued to receive standing ovations across the country. Why? Because they wuz black!

Unfortunately, it's pretty easy to understand:

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.”

― Alexis de Tocqueville

There is some argument over the correct attribution of this quote (de Tocqueville or Tyler) but there's much less argument regarding its truthfulness.

I’m not at all convinced and pretty much am betting on Obama going down in flames—if but for turn-out alone. Romney is a better candidate than McCain and Obama in 2012 is much weaker and far less attractive than in 2008.

This is Romney’s to lose. Obama is going on the dustbin of history.

“I no longer understand American voters .. at all.”

Or perhaps there is a more simple explanation: the polls are BS.

The amount of agitprop coming out of the leftmedia is truly something to behold. What happened? Did they outsource it to pravda?
