2012 Elections in the USA

[QUOTE=Esten; 425200]With the Ryan pick to boost his struggling campaign, Romney is hoping for a boost in the polls. People will be watching the polls, especially the electoral college to detect any shifts. If they shift in Obama's favor, it's all but over.

I am really shaking my head at what Romney has done. Lagging in the polls, what does he do? He makes scaling back Medicare an election focus. I thought the plan was to make it a referendum on Obama? This could turn quite badly for Republicans. We will see.

Electoral College 8/13/2012 (realclearpolitics) (270 to win)

Obama 237.

Romney 191.

Toss Ups 110.

Toss Up States (Electoral Votes) :

Florida (29) Obama +1. 4.

Iowa (6) Obama +1. 0.

North Carolina (15) Romney +1. 0.

Ohio (18) Obama +4. 8.

Virgina (13) Obama +3. 2.

Wisconsin (10) Obama +5. 4[/QUOTE]Romney will easily win Florida (29) , Iowa (6) , Nevada (6) , North carolina (15). Wisconsin (10) and Ohio (18). Game Over. Look forward to enjoying your pesos dude. I also expect at least three more states you didn't mention (like virginia and new hampshire at the least). Like taking candy from a baby! Make sure those pesos are in Argentina when I arrive in March dude. Toymann

Ohio and Florida are full of registered voters who are dependent upon the very programs that Ryan is promising to decimate; Romney choosing Ryan as his running mate was like an early Christmas present for the Obama campaign. Your analysis just goes to show that a self-described "1%er" such as yourself is so completely out of touch with the US voting public as to make any predictions you come up with totally irrelevant.

Show me a constituency with which our commie-in-chief has increased his popularity. Now, show me a swing state where that might make a difference.

'nuff said. America-hating marxist pinko goes back to Chicago. Too bad we can't exile him to France.

White working class and some 1%ers have withdrawn their support for Obama, that is true. Obama does not need to win by the electoral vote margin that he won by in the previous election; he only needs 270, and barring catastrophic event (European debt default, Israel attacks Iran, something of that nature) he will easily get past the 270 vote post.

Why would any current medicare recipient or US citizen over the age of 55 (most likely 53 actually) be concerned about the current version of medicare pertaining to the Ryan plan idiot? Ryan's plan has no impact on this benifit for these people. It's all about trying to fix medicare before it goes under. Get informed and stop spouting lies and misinformation. You are the one who is out of touch and uninformed dude. You do provide entertaining commentary, right off of MSNBC. IALOTFLMAO. Happy Mongering All. Toymann

[QUOTE=SnakeOilSales;425219]Obama has increased (directly and / or indirectly, or more accurately, relative to Romney / Ryan) his popularity among[/quote]Relative to Romney / Ryan? He just announced the Ryan pick three days ago. Upon what data do you base this foolish statement?

[quote=]Hispanics,[/quote]Despite going against the Constitution with his dream act executive order, Hispanics are mixed on the Commie in chief. Many Hispanic Americans and legal (I. E. The kind that can actually vote) immigrants find his pandering to their constituency offensive. So, you're not right on this one.

[quote=]Homosexuals,[/quote]Agreed. That is somewhere around 1% of the US population. He did this solely for the money. The gay population probably realizes this but, getting the attention of the president, they are willing to be used.

[quote=]Women,[/quote]Not true. Please support this with some facts.

[quote=]Blacks,[/quote]You could not be more wrong. He has lost a great deal of support within the black community. Beside contributing to record black unemployment, blacks feel that they were sold out for money on the gay marriage issue.

[quote=]and now with the edition of the Medicare killer himself, Senior Citizens. White working class and some 1%ers have withdrawn their support for Obama, that is true.[/quote]I don't get it. You can obviously type, why is it that you can't read? Do you have any idea how ridiculously uninformed you sound?

[quote=]Obama does not need to win by the electoral vote margin that he won by in the previous election; he only needs 270,[/quote]So show me the math how he gets to 270.

[quote=]and barring catastrophic event (European debt default, Israel attacks Iran, something of that nature) he will easily get past the 270 vote post.[/QUOTE]I think the destruction of the US economy might get in his way of reelection.

Ryan is Obama's worst nightmare. Ryan is intelligent and understands math while Obama is not intelligent and does not understand math.

It has been estimated that the combined IQ of Obama and Biden is a tiny fraction of Ryan's IQ. Obama's and Biden's lack of intelligence is obvious to any nitwit, even the voting public.

The ease in which Obama and biden have effortlessly destroyed the economy is an everyday reminder of Obama's and Biden's mental deficiencies.

I was just wondering with the Democrats ranting, raving and trying to lynch Ryan over his 'Slash & Burn' budget proposal just how they are going to square that with the facts since the government budget is going to continue to grow under Ryan's budget proposal but at a much slower pace?

Well Democrats never do let something so inconsequential as the truth stand in the way of a good attack ad now do they?

Donnie Box, a former employee at Kansas City's GST Steel, the steel plant closed by Bain capitol in 2001 during Romney's tenure with the company, appears in a pro-Obama super PAC ad in high circulation in swing states.

"I could really care less about Obama," Box said."I think Obama is a jerk, a pantywaist, a lightweight, a blowhard. He hasn't done a goddamn thing that he said he would do. When he had a Democratic Senate and Democratic Congress, he didn't do a damn thing. He doesn't have the guts to say what's on his mind."

Could not have said it better myself

Here's the video of Donnie Box:

Another worker negatively affected by Bain Capital was Randy Johnson. He lost his job when Ampad, an office supply company controlled by Bain Capital, closed his plant in Indiana, in 1995. He says he will be voting for Obama.

[i]"We all want things to go faster, we want instant gratification," says Johnson. "I feel like he has done the right things for the economy. I think if the economy starts growing, we will be talking about insourcing of jobs. Personally, I try to compare Romney to the president. Obama sticks up for jobs and what we do in the labor movement and Mitt Romney just sticks it to you. I just don't see how Romney has done anything to help the average American person out there."[/i]

We are explaining what the Ryan budget is all about. The right wing media is trying to portray all explanation and criticism as attacks, in an attempt to dismiss it. I wonder why? Even R / R themselves aren't saying much about their plan. In today's interview with Brit Hume, Ryan avoids direct questions about cuts in his plan, and just replies Obama did this, Obama did that. Romney says his plan is different but won't give straight answers on what's different. What gives?

You bring up a good point Doppel. Obama's plan reduces deficits by $4 Trillion over 12 years. Ryan's plan reduces deficits by $5. 3 Trillion over 10 years. So Ryan's plan cuts deeper. Obama has more work to do, but Democrats know he will approach it in a balanced way, with shared sacrifice. Ryan wants the poor and middle class to make most of the sacrifice, which is basically class warfare.

R / R are spouting more deception in their new TV ad about Obama taking $716 Billion from Medicare. Those savings don't affect any Medicare benefits whatsoever. The savings are largely from unwarranted subsidies to insurance companies, and in fact extend the life of Medicare by nearly a decade. Ryan has those same savings in his plan! This is pure desperation on their part, and when the truth comes out (which it will) , it will only reinforce the perception that the Republican ticket can't be trusted.

Esten.

I understand what Donnie Box means when he correctly describes Obama as a jerk, a lightlight and a blowhard. However, Donnie Box also describes Obama as a pantywaist. What is a pantywaist?
