Romney must be allergic to the truth. He avoids it like he is, anyway.Obama landed a clean hit on Romney over his opposition to the federal bailout of Chrysler and General Motors.Instead of letting the moment pass and moving on to the next question, Romney decided to once again relitigate the auto bailout, a measure supported by a large majority of voters in the presidential battleground of Ohio.
"He said that I said we should take Detroit bankrupt," Romney said. "And that's right. My plan was to have the company go through bankruptcy like 7-Eleven did and Macy's and Continental Airlines and come out stronger."
The end result? When he had a chance to mitigate the damage, Romney instead reminded millions of viewers that he would have let the auto industry go under without government help. As the saying goes: When you're explaining, you're losing.
IBD/TIPP 2012 Presidential Election Daily Tracking Poll: Oct. 17, 2012 Obama is up +1.5
Obama 46.8% | Romney 45.3%
A new POLITICO/George Washington University Battleground Poll of likely voters puts Obama ahead of Romney 49 percent to 48 percent, a statistical tie and the same as the week before. Across the 10 states identified by POLITICO as competitive, Romney leads 50 percent to 48 percent.
Coming from the other side of the pond I always find US elections utterly fascinating, it really is a pantomime. All the televised debates, the big flashy campaigns, the rallies... over here there's none of the mass celebrations etc. it's more a case of "oh good job mate, now hurry up and fix the fucking country before we change our minds."
And there's the focusing of attention on 2 individuals rather than whole parties, the main (only) 2 of which really aren't that different. It's compelling.
I HATE THE ANTI government !! most of you that subscribe to ANTI government get on government roads to go to work and some of you are on food stamps or Section 8.
That's a poll from Connecticut you fool, one of the most Liberal states in the union. Are you hoping people wouldn't notice that and declare Obama the GOAT?
I can see you have nothing to say. That kids, is the sound of someone losing a debate. Much like Mr Romney, aaaaand we're back on topic! We've come full circle, beautiful
You're just making stuff up now man, I wouldn't trust the US government to tie their own shoelaces never mind run the world. But for different reasons, y'know, ones which actually exist.
Oh never mind, you're clearly on a massive fluoride trip. Me and the 'nati boys are off to sacrifice baby goats and plant hidden satanic messages on Pornhub, later bro.
If you're referring to my last post on the previous page, what I meant was that I certainly don't trust the US goverment, but not because they're shitting in people's toothpaste or whatever it is you lot believe, but because they sent thousands of young men out to the middle east to be slaughtered, for various reasons, none of which were to "spread democracy" or find "WMD's" (that was a laugh eh?). Iraq's close proximity to Iran and Israel may also have helped, just a tiny wee bit...
And I don't need to tell you about the Kennedy assassination I'm sure. My point is, you should look a bit closer to home before worrying about crazy global conspiracies. You're missing political issues which are right under your nose, and which might actually affect you.
Obama is the favorite and will win the election, not sure what posting polls over and over again is going to prove. Is anyone saying Obama will lose? Is anyone who is actively posting in this thread even supporting Romney?
Anyway kinda back on topic for the 2nd time (sorry guys), does nobody else find it bizarre that the American political system consists of a choice between centre right and extreme right? Yet they're portrayed as being complete opposites. Any other ideologies are shot down in flames immediately, it just couldn't happen. The Republicans scare people by comparing the Democrats to "European socialists" when they're not even close, they are more conservative than the actual conservative party in the UK! Yet their centre right position is as far to the left as Americans are willing to go. Strange.
And don't even get me started on healthcare. The fact that it's even an issue is fucked up to me, completely and utterly baffling. Perhaps our cultures are more different than they appear...
That's true it would lower it. But the question is that, how exactly are going to pay for it? Through taxes? We already are paying out the ass for things like ssi and state funded medicare. I'm sure Romneycare is going to be no different. That's why me like alot of others wanted Ron Paul over Romney.
Mystical, by your logic, everyone police officer should have full riot gear on at every WWE because hundreds of people are going to, OMG RIOT IF CM PUNK LOSES.
EDIT:
And way to post the most some of the most idiotic people on FB.
Guys, it's all about who will appoint what type of douchebag to the Supreme Court. Give me whoever Obama appoints over whoever Romney appoints. The balance could be catastrophically thrown off. LIBERTY is at stake here.
The Supreme Court appointments are talked about, but never enough.
