It's Over! (Media Polls in the tank for Obama shows that he is actually losing)
American Thinker ^ | 09/28/2012 | By William L. Gensert

Give up -- Barack Obama has won. With the election only weeks away, it is clear from recent swing state polling that Mitt Romney has lost this election. According to the Quinnipiac numbers, in the battleground states of Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania, the president is ahead by 10%, 9% and 12%, respectively.

Romney can't win. Just ask any journalist or newscasters. He is toast -- stick a fork in him.

Bull...

If anything, the closer we get to Election Day, the more apparent it is that Obama is not only losing, but losing big. The Obama campaign, and by "campaign" I mean members of the media and polling organizations, is trying to convince prospective Romney voters to believe that all is lost -- in which case, they hope, we will stay home.

But just because they say so, that doesn't make it true.

Everyone knew from the outset that Obama, with his sad record of continuous failure on almost every front, was going to air out his inner bitterness and envy, and campaign negatively. But did anyone suspect that his sole hope for victory would rest on trying to suppress the vote of his opponent with naked media bias and polling -- most of which assumes a higher Democrat turnout than in 2008, when the electorate, many Republicans included, swallowed whole Obama's vision of "hope and change"?

“Pollsters are in the business of being _correct_, and I don’t mean politically. If they say Obama is going to win, you’d best take that at face value and get busy convincing voters to pick Romney, or to stay home if they won’t.”

Then why did Reagan, who was 7 points behind Carter the week before the election, win in a landslide, hmmmm?

“Granted, most of us didn’t pick this horse but he’s our horse and we’ll support him. I’m just going to wait for your mea culpas if Romney wins and governs like a democrat.”

Are you going to give mea culpas if Romney wins and governs like a conservative?

Sure, but that's wishful thinking on your part. Romney wants to replace Obamacare with Romneycare. Good luck getting Romney to govern like a conservative.

Don’t share your pessimism. Prefer to look at the glass as half full. You are depressing yourself. Cheer up.

The polls are designed to show that the election was stolen. It will be interesting to see how DumBO handles the riots afterwards. He will probably fan the flames, justifying an executive order overturning the election.

Polls are, at best, prescriptive. They are hardly predictive.

“They do seem have Rasmussen on, especially Hannity’s show. Why they didn’t team with him for polling is a mystery”

Could this be Rasmussen’s choice — to maintain his independence, and thus, his credibility?

FY 2007 was the last GOP Congress/Bush budget. FY 2011 was the last Obama/Dem Congress budget. Photobucket Yeah, Romney is a bad choice but he is our only chance left. If Romney governs like a Democrat we are finished.

And don't bother telling me you are "off the grid" or "going Gault". Unless you are 100% self sufficient, which I highly doubt, they are still taxing you by inflating the money supply. Everything you own is being devalue to fund this spending.

Romney at least sees this as a problem that needs fixing. Obama and his crowd think the problem is they are NOT SPENDING ENOUGH.

So if you all want to cling to your sour grapes while Obama destroys the country fine, but don't dress it up as anything but spite and ego.

What we are asked to believe is all the energy and outrage of 2010 has dissipated and now there is a renewed sense of energy and excitement for all things Obama. The Tea Party phenomenon is not something that sends ripples through the media unless it wishes to assemble itself for a rally. Generally, these folks work, live their lives, keep their eyes and ears open and then GIVE THEM ALL HELL on election day.

You are correct. Romney was not the ideal choice, but he is what we have and if Mitt doesn't win, well, the next 4 years of Obama will be probably push us past the point of no return. We have no disagreement on this point.

So if you all want to cling to your sour grapes while Obama destroys the country fine, but don't dress it up as anything but spite and ego.

Dunno about the others you posted this too, but I can't fathom why you don't understand that it is both possible to agree that it is urgent we help get Romney elected, and also openly discuss the fact that the goal of achieving this very thing isn't going terribly well. I don't think sticking your head in the ground to avoid bad news helps us win. At some point Romney IS going to shake up his campaign, be more aggressive and talk about big ideas. I'd rather he do that now than continue waiting.

All media polls stink.

Anyone voting for Obama is voting for trillion dollar deficits, higher taxes, and a Government that spends each day destroying jobs rather than letting the private sector create them. We need to spread that message far and wide.

Anybody not sharing that message or pointing that this is the central issue of the campaign is in the tank for Obama.

First off, at the sign of armed insurrection in the USA world markets won't care if it's being done by conservative patriots, leftwingtard obamugabists, or mittbots ~ the dollar will have value wherever the revolutionary committee agree to that.

In the meantime ~...... the obamugabists have the lesson of Haiti before them. They won ~ the insurrectionists ~ after wiping out several other insurrectionists, and before long they were inviting back the French to teach them how to run the plantations.

Things never really got better there, so I doubt the hard core obamugabists have it in them to go through that again. On the other hand, the Mittbots are stubborn. They're going to hold out for their boy to the bitter end and the first people they'll decide to have as their enemy will be the conservative patriots!

That's because the Mittbots, unlike the Obamugabists just never learn ~ and as that last few members of the Mittbot Old Guard goes down before the fire of a thousand circling Howitzers, I'll hear them screaching "YOU PEOPLE AND YOUR SOUR GRAPES ~ we won by hook or crook so it's ours, not yours ~ accept your fate.

"Pull" BOOM "Pull" BOOM " "Pull" BOOM " "Pull" BOOM " "Pull" BOOM " "Pull" BOOM " (Available on videos everywhere)

MItt needs to fire all his advisors ~ NOW, not later ~ and that includes his FAMBLY YO!

Some of them are probably no better than Obama when it comes to understanding why and how America works.

We received a call on our answering machine from 904-274-0422 yesterday. They asked to press 1 for Obama, 2 for Romney, 3 for someone else or 4 for undecided. Then, they went on: Will you definitely support Obama? Press 1 for definitely support, 2 for probably support & 3 for unsure.
