There's another reason, too: Ben Bernanke cranking up the printing press with QE3 to help the messiah get reelected. Oil prices are pegged to the dollar -- when it's inflated, oil prices go up to compensate.
Crowley was disgraceful, but what she did will help Romney win the post-debate spin over the next few days. She ensured that the one question people will be talking about is Libya. She exposed herself as biased by falsely “fact-checking” what Obama said in the Rose Garden. Now we’re going to spend the next few days debating what the administration did and didn’t say, and when they did and didn’t say it.
I think the left overplayed their hand. Crowley’s “fact check” ensures that Libya will be the one exchange that everyone is talking about tomorrow. We want the focus to be on the three ring circus that is O’s foreign policy. The idea that O’s position was that it was terrorism the day after is laughable. The regime’s story on what happened in Libya is unraveling day by day, and now it will be thrust fully into the spotlight.
I saw this live tonight on FNC Hannity.
One thing to understand is that Rs got the crap kicked out of them in 2008, and 2006. Those were disasters.
So polling Republicans that stayed loyal during those two elections 2006 and 2008 is great way to make people think Rs are winning when they are really losing the election.
And now Rush claims that this is a winning strategy?
I remember Rush and Hannity in 2006 and 2008 telling us that Rs are winning, till the election. Well F that. I don;t want that and I wont go along with it.
Obama said something like: assault weapons needed by our armed forces should not be provided to civilians, and Romney failed to renew the ban. They are not now!
Assault weapons used by our military, and AK-47s are capable of fully automatic fire! Weapons available to civilians (those not supplied by “fast & furious”) are not fully automatic!
States do not need to ban assault weapons. The Federal Government already bans them nationwide. The idiotic state “assault weapon bans” just ban common deer rifles that have cosmetic modifications to make them look like AK47’s and M-16s. They are still semi-automatic weapons, like hundreds of other rifles available to hunters and target shooters.
They were absolutely literally shocked to find out that what they believed was not correct.
I told ‘em to come here and turn off the TV.
:)
True.
Well, we’ll see if being “respectful” and staying on the same points “the economy” wins in November. I’m not convinced there are enough intelligent people left in the country to not believe the MSM propaganda all they way into the voting booth.
Bush played nice against the imbecile Gore and nearly lost a sure thing. He refused to use the corruption and scandals that plagued the Rapist’s administration. In 2004, he nearly lost and would have if the Swift Boat Veterans had not reminded America what a POS and a poser Kerry was.
McCain played it safe and refused to vet the Fraud. He was slaughtered.
Now The Fraud and the MSM are painting Romney as an evil rich guy, who wants to give tax breaks to his rich buddies while the rest of the country suffers. The whole campaign is based an class envy.
47 % of the country pays no income tax and at least 50 % + expect the government to take care of them, take money from the rich and give it to the rest of us.
I’m not convinced after 50 + years of leftists public school indoctrination and the brainwashing of the media, that America is ready to defend free enterprise, capitalism against the threat of socialism.
The lines are clearly drawn and I think November 6 decides the future direction of the country. Do we remain a free enterprise system or do we do what they did in Britain a few decades back - move towards more government, socialism.
What I hate that Crowly monster for is making Romney look dumb on that terrorist/movie crap. She lied and the media brainwashed crowd agreed with crowly witch's lie. awful But Romney crushed Obama on the economy. If not for Candy Romney would have scored big on that islamic movie lie.
all undecided prior-Obama-voters, not just 20 in a focus group.
So polling Republicans that stayed loyal during those two elections 2006 and 2008 is great way to make people think Rs are winning when they are really losing the election.
I agree.
It would have been nice if Romney’s people had these numbers ready...
“According to a report published by the Free Beacon in April, the 2011 annual report on White House staff revealed that the median annual salary for female White House employees was 18 percent less than male employees $60,000 compared to $71,000.
And in 2008, Scripps Howard syndicated columnist Deroy Murdock noted that as in Obamas U.S. Senate office, women were paid less than men: While the average male staffer brought home $54,397, female staffers averaged $45,152.”
Maybe they can get it out there tomorrow ???
Luntz had a focus group of previous Obama voters all of whom switched to Romney. I think the jig is up for the MSM. Also, “Independents” are a sensitive bunch. They are swayable, but also skeptical. I’m not their biggest fans, they’re way too mushy for me. Yet, here’s Obama losing the very mushies that put him in power. That’s good news for us and a good night as well.
Even if Romney wins our fight won’t be over, not for a long, hard time. Let’s stay in it to win it.
I was never a fan of Romney even up to his debate two weeks ago, but in my opinion, I believe that Romney took 0dumb0 to the woodshed tonight on more than one occasion. I loved when he ran through a complete litany of failures from 0dumb0 -- 23 million unemployed, 15 million more on foodstamps, 9 million more at poverty levels or below, 50% college grads unable to find a job in their field, etc etc. And then calling out 0dumb0 on his lie about Libya, and his lies on how much energy production has "grown". It was great!!!
I have to admit, I have never seen a Republican candidate for president like Mitt, who has taken direct aim at 0dumb0 and is throwing non-stop fastballs at 0dumb0 and 0dumb0 is wiffing on every single one of them
I like the format of tonight's debate, allowing Mitt to directly challenge the lies & flimsy arguments of 0dumb0 and the media biased moderator. I heard Brit Hume say that he doesn't like it... WTF? What, so that the debates would only allow the candidates to respond back to the moderator? I could care less what the moderator thinks. I want to see 0dumbo's ass nailed to the wall in every public back & forth debate. And Romney is not backing down at all in challenging 0dumb0's lies. 0dumb0 has NEVER, I repeat NEVER experienced any debate or discourse that directly challenges his lies, like the whoppers he told tonight!
good post
However if you scored the debates like a boxing match, it would have been Romney 14-1 in Denver, and Obama 8-7 tonight. The first debate was much more decisive.
Sarah Palin.....Momma Grizzly.... Ahhh you bring back great memories... and laughs ....here's one that comes to mind that sent many into or.. asms.
Thanks :)
Sarah Palin does look hot to me though lol
Yes, it was closer than I originally thought and the Fraud did come up a bit ahead. But in the light of the clear bias of the cow moderator, the lie about the Libya attack, maybe Romney didn’t get hurt that badly.
Some good news on the night, the Yankees were beat and are down three games to zero.
I agree 100%. She sure can fill out a fitness sweater.
