My sister sends me a steady stream of leftist nonsense from Huffington Post etc. If you believe it all, Romney is the Beast of the Apocalypse and Obama walks on water.

 

I expect Obama to get back in, but critics of some polls have pointed out how they almost ignore the independent voters - who will be the ones who decide this election.

Southern whites troubled by Romney's wealth, religion

 

LYNCHBURG, Virginia (Reuters) - Sheryl Harris, a voluble 52-year-old with a Virginia drawl, voted twice for George W. Bush. Raised Baptist, she is convinced -- despite all evidence to the contrary -- that President Barack Obama, a practicing Christian, is Muslim.

 

So in this year's presidential election, will she support Mitt Romney? Not a chance.

 

"Romney's going to help the upper class," said Harris, who earns $28,000 a year as activities director of a Lynchburg senior center. "He doesn't know everyday people, except maybe the person who cleans his house."

 

She'll vote for Obama, she said: "At least he wasn't brought up filthy rich."

 

She's actually kinda scary.

If you take the margin of error of ca. 3% in the polls the race is completely open. If outside developments don't change the current dynamics the three TV talks between Obama and Romney might decide the election. I have read the Romney is already training a lot for the talks.

"For Mitt Romney’s campaign, the outlook in the battleground states is even worse than the national polls.

 

According to a GOP source with access to private polling being done by independent Republican groups (who are spending a lot of money tracking public opinion in the battleground states), Romney is in trouble in two must-win states:

 

Ohio: Romney down 5 percent.

 

Virginia: Romney down 4 percent.

 

Most troubling for Romney: the Ohio trend has been consistent for several weeks and is not a “sugar high†resulting from the Democratic convention."

Big mistake for Romney to not mention the miltiary, military families, veterans, nor the Bush wars.

"NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The number of people who don't have bank accounts is on the rise, as many Americans turn to alternative ways of getting cash -- like payday loans, pawnshops and check-cashing services.

 

About 8.2% of U.S. households, or nearly 10 million, lack a bank account, according to a report released Wednesday by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. That's up from 7.7%, or about 9 million households, in 2009."

What's the reason for this?

Get that big government ID ready.

 

"* Fraud by individual voters is both irrational and extremely rare.

* Many vivid anecdotes of purported voter fraud have been proven false or do not demonstrate fraud.

* Voter fraud is often conflated with other forms of election misconduct.

* Raising the unsubstantiated specter of mass voter fraud suits a particular policy agenda.

* Claims of voter fraud should be carefully tested before they become the basis for action.

 

Fraud by individual voters is both irrational and extremely rare. Most citizens who take the time to vote offer their legitimate signatures and sworn oaths with the gravitas that this hard-won civic right deserves. Even for the few who view voting merely as a means to an end, however, voter fraud is a singularly foolish way to attempt to win an election. Each act of voter fraud risks five years in prison and a $10,000 fine - but yields at most one incremental vote. The single vote is simply not worth the price.

 

The . . . closely-analyzed 2004 election in Ohio revealed a voter fraud rate of 0.00004%. National Weather Service data shows that Americans are struck and killed by lightning about as often."

For most Christians,

believing that Jesus and the Devil are brothers

is a 'little' hard to swallow.

 

When Joseph Smith was alive,

the Mormons wanted all of the USA for themselves.

 

Some claim they even went so far as to make Joseph Smith

King of the USA.

 

Back in 1857 when the Mormons murdered about 120 to 140 people

that were of a wagon train going west, they also tried making

Utah a soverign country.

 

Even today they claim 'one' will appear and become

President of the USA and President of the LDS and

make the USA their own country with LDS as the religion of the world.

Obama on track to have worst job record since World War II

 

Unemployment is good for you.

 

 

When people started getting laid off

when GWB was President, the Republicans made no effort

to 'create' jobs.

 

Now..... the Republicans are 'all concerned' about

the unemployment issue.

 

Isn't that a flip flop?

"WASHINGTON — The nation's poverty rate remained stuck at a record level last year, while household income dropped and the number of people who don't have health insurance declined.

 

A Census Bureau report released Wednesday provided a mixed picture of the economic well-being of U.S. households for 2011 as the nation enters the final phase of a presidential election campaign in which the economy is the No. 1 issue.

 

The overall poverty rate stood at 15 percent, statistically unchanged from the 15.1 percent rate in the previous year. Experts had expected a rise in the poverty rate for the fourth straight year, but unemployment benefits and modest job gains helped stave that off, the bureau reported. For last year, the official poverty line was an annual income of $23,021 for a family of four."
