Subscribe to RSSAccording to the latest NBC/WSJ poll, President Obama had a five-point lead when survey participants were asked who they would vote for, and 42 percent of those surveyed believe the economy will get better under Obama. NBC's Chuck Todd reports.
Fueled by increased optimism about the economy and nation’s direction, President Barack Obama leads Mitt Romney by 5 points among likely voters and now sees his job-approval rating reaching the 50 percent threshold for the first time since March, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
The survey – which was conducted after the two party conventions and the political firestorm over last week’s U.S. Embassy attacks, but before Romney’s controversial comments about the 47 percent of the country “who are dependent on government” – shows the percentages believing that the country is headed in the right direction and thinking that the economy will improve at their highest levels since 2009.
In the presidential horse race, Obama and Vice President Joe Biden get the support of 50 percent of likely voters, while Romney and running mate Paul Ryan get 45 percent.
National Review and Bloomberg View's Ramesh Ponnuru, Roll Call's Shira Toeplitz and The Hotline's Reid Wilson take a look at the latest numbers out of the NBC, Wall Street Journal and Marist poll and talk about how battleground states may play out for the presidential candidates.
NBC/WSJ poll: Obama's approval on foreign policy drops
Among a wider sample of registered voters, the president’s lead is 6 points, 50 percent to 44 percent – up from Obama’s 4-point edge last month, 48 percent to 44 percent.
“It’s clear to me that Barack Obama has moved a … step ahead,” says Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart, who conducted this survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff.

President Barack Obama waves as he boards Air Force One on Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2012 in Andrews Air Force Base, Md.
Yet Hart cautions, “It’s a step and only a step.”

For his part, McInturff adds that the presidential race may very well have seen an inflection point. “The president is in a stronger position than he was before the convention.”
But noting similarities between the current numbers and those from the 2004 George W. Bush vs. John Kerry race, he urges that this contest could be just as competitive.
“If you look at ’04 as a model, ’04 was really close. And that’s how we should continue to think about the campaign.”
Economic optimism on the rise
According to the survey, 39 percent of registered voters say the country is on the right track, versus 55 percent who say it’s on the wrong track.
The Daily Rundown's Chuck Todd reports on a statement that may significantly damage Mitt Romney's presidential campaign.
That right-track number is a 7-point increase from August, and it’s the highest percentage on this question since Sept. 2009.
Forty-two percent of voters also believe the economy will improve in the next 12 months, which is a 6-point jump from August, and a 15-point rise from July.
NBC/WSJ poll: Optimism in Obama presidency increases
What’s more, 47 percent of registered voters approve of the president’s handling of the economy – up 3 points from last month. Obama’s overall job-approval rating stands at 50 percent for the first time since March.
And 38 percent say the country is better off than it was when he became president, which is a 7-point increase from August. But a plurality of voters – 41 percent – maintain that the country is worse off; 21 percent say it’s in the same place.
Obama vs. Romney on the issues
While none of these numbers is ideal for a president facing re-election, Obama is now tied with Romney (43 percent to 43 percent) on which candidate would be better on the economy. In July, Romney held a 6-point advantage on this question.
Hart, the Democratic pollster, says this finding is potentially ominous for Romney. “Simply put, if Romney doesn’t win on dealing with the economy, he doesn’t win.”
On other issues, Obama leads Romney on dealing with taxes (45 percent to 39 percent) and on dealing with Medicare (47 percent to 37 percent).
And the president is ahead of his Republican challenger on three character traits – being a good commander in chief (45 percent to 38 percent), dealing with issues of concern to women (54 percent to 26 percent), and looking out for the middle class (53 percent to 34 percent).
NBC's Chuck Todd says, "Mitt Romney is not a good campaigner" and still must answer questions regarding his comments that were caught on tape. A Morning Joe panel then debates whether Team Romney needs a campaign shakeup.
Comparing 2012 to 2004
Although Obama enjoys these advantages over Romney, the numbers in the NBC/WSJ poll bear a striking resemblance to those from 2004, when Bush narrowly beat Kerry.
And that has McInturff, the GOP pollster, cautioning that this year’s race could be equally close, despite Obama’s current lead.
Read the full poll here (.pdf)
Indeed, in the Sept. 2004 NBC/WSJ poll, 39 percent believed the country was on the right track (versus 39 percent now); 43 percent thought the economy would improve in the next year (versus 42 percent now); and Bush led Kerry by three points among likely voters (versus Obama’s 5-point edge now).
The NBC/WSJ poll was conducted Sept. 12-16 of 900 registered voters (including 270 by cell phone), and it has margin of error of plus-minus 3.3 percentage points. In that sample, the survey also identified 736 likely voters, and the margin of error there is plus-minus 3.6 percentage points.

Oh Dear!
This news is sure to give the RWNJ's some serious heartburn! lol
With economic optimism on the rise, what will Willard be left to lie about now?
While this is indeed great news, NOW is not the time for supporters of President Obama to become complacent!
We must keep our eyes open and foot on the gas until we cross the finish line on 11.6.12!!
Heh, Romney put his silver boot in his mouth this time ^^
Amazing that Mitt's campaign can't seem to go more than a day or two without a total disaster!!!!
Obama/Biden 2012 - let's keep those numbers going UP!
All because the biased media deflects the failures of Barry
Looking at these poll #'s on Rev. Al's show, I see how low Romney is rated in terms of looking out for the middle class. Really bad #'s there.
Keep your foot on the pedal and drive out of the country, go all the way to Europe, or Cuba, or Venezuela...
Give it a week and it'll be 55%-40% for Obama. Let Mitt keep talking, and it may be a historic landslide for the President. Mitt may lose all 50 of his home states.
Obama 2010/Romney 1040
Fisty, jumping from one story after another to boost that pathetic ego of I do not work, and I will not work. I am entitled to free stuff. Get a job sluggo! You sure are not helping our economy mooching off the 53%.
This proud Texas Democrat shouts one long and blood-curdling, "Yeeeeeee-haaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwww!!!!!" Beers for everyone.
i read through the data and it seems kinda squirrelly. the numbers didnt seem to add up but that could be because i dont understand how they polled. I dont take a lot of stock in polls. I definitely wouldnt count on NBC to be on the up and up. Hardly credible given their recent track record
New York Times Editorial, h/t TOD:
It turns out that Mitt Romney was right. There is class warfare being waged in the 2012 campaign. It is Mr. Romney who is waging it, not President Obama, and he’s stood the whole idea on its head.
When you think of class warfare, you probably think of inciting anger, resentment and jealousy among the have-nots against the haves. That’s what Mr. Romney has accused Mr. Obama of doing, but those charges have always been false. The truth is that Mr. Romney has been trying to incite the anger of a small slice of the richest Americans who need no government assistance but get it anyway, against the working poor, the elderly, the disabled workers and veterans, and even a significant chunk of middle-class Americans.
…. The right wing has long been whining about people who don’t pay taxes and who therefore don’t deserve a say in government. They have it exactly backward. The shame is not that those people don’t pay income taxes. The shame is how many poor people there are when the top 1 percent can amass uncountable fortunes fed by tax breaks and can donate tens of millions of dollars to political candidates to keep it that way.
900 people surveyed.... OMG economy better - nope. what a spin
Would love to see the sampling of the parties involved (weighted towards Dems I'm sure if its NBC). And as far as 'economic optimism' wtf.... based on what specific good news. Please enlighten me, what specific economic news is a basis for optimism. What a friggin farce... can't believe anything this rag NBC prints anymore.
Up down, up down.
Just get registered to vote on Nov 6.
And then Push 'D' on all congressional and senate races.
.
Three things Little Caesar:
1) This is where your first sentence should have ended.
2) Imagine that? A Republican that doesn't know arithmetic.
3) Pizza, Pizza!
Obama 2012/Romney 1040
I read where Rove is pulling back cash from Romney and spending more on congressional seats. He can't bring that lame ass horse to post. Please, bring on the debates and let's send that corporate raider, emotionless, creep back to his many homes. Folks, last time the GOP blocked any bill that would help the average person and continued to propose low taxes on the top earners. Are they now, saying that Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Bush I taxed and spent too much? There is a breaking point. When the military spending rules this government and the wealthiest enjoy the lowest taxes since Truman---and more with the loopholes. Over 50% of corporations pay no tax. It makes me sick to hear the whiners speak of anyone paying zero tax. To say that, they would have to spend zero dollars. The working poor are just that--poor. I think of Eisenhower at a 91% tax rate on the top earners and I look at it now. Romney at 13%. Eisenhower would have handed that dick a huge tax bill and he'd be in prison for hiding cash in The Caymans and Switzerland.
The tax code is broken and Grover Norquist makes the GOPers sign that pledge to not lower taxes or close any loopholes in the tax code.
then you wouldnt be true to your moniker
Jonny R Goode
Hey Mickey you have an admirer LOL, another witless hack
Actually according to Gallup, Obama had a 7% lead the week after the convention, reaching 50% in that poll. At same time, Rasmussen had Obama with a 5% lead. Since then in just a week, Obama's lead has dropped to 1% in Gallup and falling behind Romney by 2%. The trend is toward Romney, but the polls won't be that accurate until October when the polling agencies want to save their image by pulling a representative segment of the voters.
MSNBC, your news could not be more biased if you were on the DNC payroll. Shame on you for having lost all professionalism.
Feisty: You nailed it, don't be complacent, don't let up until we tag they with three outs in the ninth. ☺
4 more 4 44
Feisty - if President Obama just stays on course and let's Mitt keep running his mouth, Mitt will do the hard work! As usual for Mitt, it's open mouth and switch feet!
OMG - this is the BEST the Republican party has?????? How far a once great party has disintegrated!
Obama/Biden 2012
Willard will be stuttering and stammering in the first debate, which is about domestic policy!
...Willard, try to remember all the stuff you've said...then try to back away.......lol
Sandtrich,
It was only a matter of time! ☺
Meanwhile, Linda McMahon & Scott Brown can't distance themselves fast enough! lol
Depends on who does the poll - this one is showing Barry ahead and other polls show Mitt ahead - looks like we will have to wait to see who wins - I am with Mitt
Exactly.
Who the @!$%# is forcing YOU to come here?
Oh! That's right, NewsforDumbFux shut down their
comment sectionlitter box!You're free to leave at any time...
However, I do understand your frustration, seeing it all slip away from you and being impotent to do anything about it! lol
The Gallup poll gives Obama an insurmountable 1 point lead in the polls?
No wonder the liberals and their media shills are spiking the football and dancing in the streets...
Have you libs forgotten how Feisty was begging, pleading with the base to turn out and vote in Wisconsin the week of the recall election? She almost sounded desperate knowing that the tide had turned against the Dems as pollsters began turning out more accurate results near the election instead of skewing toward the left.
perhaps toolbag but you admit that NBC is nothing more than an Obama mouthpiece and propaganda machine. No, people have to come here to stop the spreading of manure, this isnt your HOUSE FEISTY!
What dreamland is the media in ? "with the economy getting better" Really? in what @!$%#ing universe is the economy getting better !!!! and for the 5 point lead which is really 2...the media will suffer great embarrassment when Romney wins.
just like when gov. walker won re-election in wisconsin and ed schultz was about to cry and they went to commercial.. Now that was must see TV..
keep up the Baghdad bob news cycle and the dems will think this is in the bag and some will stay home and the reps will come out in better numbers thinking he is behind and the Nov. surprise will be great and maybe by then the msnbc "rock center" bldg. will have windows that will open toward the streets and the media can jump out and save face.
See, the GOP is just not getting any traction from this. Here's why:
...the numbers for Bush's last three months. Between October and November, 597,000 jobs were lost; between November and December, 681,000 were lost; and between December and January, 741,000 were lost.
April 2012 marks the 26th straight month of gains in private-sector employment, for a total of 4.2 million private-sector jobs.
DJIA Dec 26, 2008 8515
DJIA Sep 18, 2012 13564
Dec 29, 2008 (Bloomberg) U.S. corporate earnings fell for a sixth-straight quarter, the longest streak in at least 20 years, as consumer spending on automobiles, homes and retailers collapsed.
May 11, 2012 Fortune magazine released its ranking of the 500 biggest US corporations Monday, which showed that they received a record-breaking $824 billion in combined profits in 2011, up 16 percent from 2010.
They just can't convince the American people that things are worse than they were 4 years ago because, uh, well, because they aren't!
Good evening Feisty.
I have my own way to poll. The sillier and more hateful the Republican posters get ... the lower Romney is in the real polls. Seems to be working out pretty good.
Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL
It's pretty obvious you are too Feisty. You average around 70 posts a day, and nearly always are the first to post on most political articles, and nearly never post on anything else. How much do they pay you to slander Romney ?
Fiesty why so defensive are you afraid someone may out wit you?
Exit0,
While we have the wind in our backs, we must remember, the GNOP playbook, if you can't beat em... cheat em!
After Romney shoved both feet down his throat in Florida I'd say he's done!
Don't you feel sometimes with Mitt that you are watching an episode of LOST?
It isn't yours either, butthole. You complain because you don't get here first, complain that it's left leaning, complain because the mods won't intervene when things aren't going your way. Hell, let's face it. All you do is complain. If your candidate had something worth talking about, maybe it wouldn't be that way, now would it?
And now what's happening?
Which poll was the most accurate in 2008? Rasmussen was number 1. Gallup was number 20. NBC/WSJ number 16.
http://blog.chron.com/txpotomac/2008/11/the-list-which-presidential-polls-were-most-accurate/
No kidding Eric!
It will get a whole lot worse between now and election day! It is fun watching the rabid righties spray their spittle, though! ☺
Keep that in mind come November 6th, 2012... The GOP hangover is just beginning...
I was thinking more along the lines of Twilight Zone. Complete with the theme song and opening monologue from Rod Serling.
will do, that is the poll that counts. I have to break everything down Barney style for you libs
saychowda
hardly a challenge, my money is on a cheese sandwich
He doesn't need any help on that.
One important thing the latest poll didnt take into consideration , when comparing the poll numbers of former president Bush vs Kerry . There was no recession .And most Americans blame (rightly or wrongly ) the republicans for that . Most independent voters (myself included ) see no distinction between policies of Mitt Romney from that of President Bush .The very policies that got us into the recession in the first place . Good luck Governor Romney ----Your going to need it
Just wait until the polls reflect the 47% comment.... and then we have a debate the following week...
As my late mother used to say Tony, these @!$%#s would cry they're starving with a loaf of bread under each arm!
It's impossible for them to prop up the mannequin they nominated, and now it's suppose to be OUR fault? lmfao!
HYPOCRITE!!!!!!
The writing is on the wall now. Obama-Biden in a landslide. So long you right wing nut jobs.
Don't get complacent the super pac money is just starting to kick in and the BS will be flying. Tied together with that is the voter suppression efforts and of course as we've seen in the past, the GOP is not past stealing and cheating their way into office,
Let see, another typical NBC / WSj poll
Democrats 32%
Republicans 25%
Independents 43%
The turnout Nationally in 2008 was +6 Democrats over Republicans.
In 2010 The democrats edged Republicans by 3 points.
The first question is, Are we going to have a larger democrat turnout than 2008 or a smaller democrat turn out than 2010. If the first, yes, Obama is ahead by 5 points, if not, then the race is a dead heat.
Being that democrat registrations are down more than republican regstriations, I think this poll oversamples democrats by better than 4 points. I also recall seeing several sources showing that the Republicans and Democrats are in a virtual tie in registration.
I also am noting that the swing from outlier poll to outlier poll is much more pronounced in recent national elections. Either the polling companies have no handle on the trend, or somebody is really rigging the results pretty bad.
Is that why Rasmussen has 247 electoral votes for Obama secured.. He just needs 23 and he is president..
Also Obama was up by 5 points last week on rasmussen
Also Ohio was going to Obama by 6 points on rasmussen
Well, Obama's media continues to spew out the lies. Gee, when you slant the polls your bound to come up with the answers you want. Sorry libs, but there is no way that Obama is leading. This is just another effort to discourage people who will vote against Obama. But, it won't work. I've conducted a poll and 95% are going to vote for Romney!
I'm sure that if you ask more dems, less repubs and less indies, then you are bound to come up with a poll in favor of Obama. Dems should be worried because using the data they state, you'd think that Obama should have been leading by 12% or more. But, that's OK. I'll enjoy the comments from the libs on the Weds. after.
Seriously, the economy is in the tank thanks to Obama's policies. The embassies are under siege thanks to Obama's policies. And people have a favorable opinion of Obama? No wonder the country is going to hell in a handbasket.
Hey Joe Blow, you sure spend a lot of time saying this same thing. So what is it exactly that you do, except post the same message over and over?
The NBC/WSJ poll was conducted Sept. 12-16 of 900 registered voters
Pretty much says it all right there. 900 people speak for this country of what, 360 million?
I'm sure MSDNC/WSJ could manage a much larger sampling of the population. How about a nationwide poll that includes tens of thousands of voters? Nah, too risky, might have to call it off after all that time and effort. Better to just stop at 900 when you have got the slant you want and then publish as if it's some kind of majority consensus.
Liberal journalism at it's finest!
[i read through the data and it seems kinda squirrelly]
Sure it does...it's data...just admit that you don't understand it and move on.
PIZZA! PIZZA!
So, go back to FOX where they tell lies that make you feel good.
You Tube : The truth about what caused the housing crisis
MSNBC is slanting the news. Shame on them.
Feisty, It seems you have been found out. Everybody knows you are a payrolled poster for the Dems. Do you get good perks ?
Ok, for all of you rwnj's dissing the poll because it was (partially) sponsored by NBC, please note that the other sponsor is the Wall Street Journal, (a true bastion of gay, commie, lefties),which, the last time I checked, is owned by Rupert Murdoch. You know, THAT Rupert Murdoch, umm, News Corp, Fox News Rupert Murdoch, yeah, him.
Alex,
Yes, Obama did have a 5% lead on Rasmussen last week. Fast forward to today, Romney is up 2%, a 7-point swing in one week. As for electoral votes, the model on the attached link has NEVER been wrong.

Free Tickets to the Lib Circus......Hey dude.......WAKE UP!!! This is not the 1950's and Joseph McCarthy was wrong!
Really? He really went out and recruited gays and pushed them into the military......REALLY?
Really? Explain please.....
Really? And I thought he was trying to make higher education AFFORDABLE again!!!!
During a visit by a Chinese diplomat you moron!
Really? He said that? Reference please!
I could go on and on with this idiot but I think the point is made. The right wingers are so scared that someone in this country might steal all their toys or something! All of the remarks that were made are those of a STARK RAVING LUNATIC! Another reason to go vote on November 6 for FREEDOM instead of exclusion!!!!
Daily tracking results are collected via telephone surveys of 500 likely voters per night and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. To reach those who have abandoned traditional landline telephones, Rasmussen Reports uses an online survey tool to interview randomly selected participants from a demographically diverse panel.
So Rasmussen would be less dependable by your logic. Oh that's right, it involves arithmetic and Republicans can't do simple math.
Obama 2012/Romney 1040
Road Warrior - that model you posted is a month old.
Things change, bro.
*Yawn* Borrrrinnnnggg
Believe me i have been shown that link hundreds of times by Republicans.. What the article fails to mention is just how bad Romney is... What the article does not mention is the Lybia gaffe, the clint gaffe, the 47% gaffe, and hes 1040s..
Romney is not electable.. Did you hear what Laura Ingraham has to say about Romney?
Also those 247 electoral are secured for Obama with 95 up for grabs, you seriously think Mitt has a chance of grabbing all 95?
[*Yawn* Borrrrinnnnggg]
Of course it's borrrrinnnnnggg...you don't understand it.
PIZZA! PIZZA!
RealAmercan,
The model is 30-years old and have been right on every presidential election since, including 2008.
BTW, the unthinkable just happened. Romney has surged ahead for the first time in Florida.
TO: Bobbyz who wrote:
No, it's because Republican talking points are NOT facts.
What I find to be a resounding failure are Republicans who relied totally on hate-speech and negative talking points for help. The ONLY thing Republicans have done in the past 3-1/2 years is try to tear this country down, and tear down the American People!
Instead of Republicans actually doing something constructive to help our economic recovery, Republicans put all their eggs in their "basket of hate" and failed again, just the same as Republicans' "Trickle Down Economics" failed.
Republicans have done absolutely nothing, ZERO, to assist in our Economic Recovery, now Republicans want to be rewarded for doing nothing? I don't think so.

Another Republican lie. Let me guess, you got a million of them.
Obama/Biden 2012
I think it's important to keep perspective here. As usual, we have a fraudulent claim based on a small, biased poll.
"The NBC/WSJ poll was conducted Sept. 12-16 of 900 registered voters (including 270 by cell phone), and it has margin of error of plus-minus 3.3 percentage points. In that sample, the survey also identified 736 likely voters, and the margin of error there is plus-minus 3.6 percentage points."
736 people, with a +-3.6% margin of error. What does this mean? Someone's desperate to have you think Obama's winning. Try getting a national poll of around 100,000 or more people, not just the jaybirds in your office and at your neighbor's condo, mmkay? Obama's still going to lose and cooking the polls to make it look like he's going to win is poor comedy. The actual numbers have Romney ahead about 13%.
American Girl,
I have yet to see a poll where Romney was ahead in Florida until now.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/
Republicans have done absolutely nothing, ZERO, to assist in our Economic Recovery, now Republicans want to be rewarded for doing nothing? I don't think so.
You are exactly right. My fear is that people aren't paying enough attention to the races in Congress and the House and will allow the Fillipublicans to retain enough power to repeat the legislative standstill of the past two years.
whats with the DOJ working with Media Matters in spinning the news. TRANSPARENCY!!
Justice for Brian Terry.
and you have unemployed scumbags like ole fiesty, my guess is that she spends the days alone with her vibrator, must be part of the 47% that are leeching off those of us who actually pay taxes. Yeah the messiah gonna keep them checks comin, until he can't.
Show us where the actual numbers are?
Your right.....but that spells even MORE TROUBLE for Romney!!It basically says that a majority of independents are going for Obama! Excellent news indeed. Thanks for pointing this out.
Mr. Jay - doubting statistics doesn't prove anything other than you don't understand statistics.
uh huh. thats it. Statistics can be quite disingenuous but if you believe them all, especially polls (for either side) I feel sorry for you. Ask my Royal Fool Mickey, he's the FR Rhodes scholar LOL
Mickey tell me again why you voted for O? because you did it once before and you being a masochist, you feel it would only be appropriate to do it again? I'll defend Romney if you defend O
Mitt Eastwood, the only poll that has Mitt ahead is the one you took this morning when you got out of bed. It gives him a 1 point lead, the poll covered one person and the final result was 1 to 0.
I just come to nbc news to remind myself why I will never vote for odumbo!
The closer Nov comes the more desperate the messiah worshipers become.
On the same link click on president on the top and look at all the other pollsters in Florida.
the next 3 have Obama up by 4 to 5 points..
This one by gravitas polling has Romney up by .6 points
Stop man.. No matter how you people try to make Romney look good hes down in almost every poll in the country.. How do you suppose hes going to win all 95 electoral votes up for grabs?
Also the owner of Rasmussen has written several books that completely agree with the teapartys views.. He even has one named: Mad As Hell: How the Tea Party Movement Is Fundamentally Remaking Our Two-Party System.
Counting your chickens before they've hatched ?
Some of your eggs may not mature the way you think. Most of the people I know who supported Obama the first time around are highly disappointed.
His wars are still going on, and very poorly at that. His base: the black people of the United States are coming to realize that Obama doesn't give two poops about them now that he has won the office.
Gitmo is still open and torturing prisoners who have not been charged with anything.
We now know that Obama also plans on war with Iran as he was implying to Mr. Mevledev to report to Putin.
Solyndra was a large Obamas campaign contributor at $87,000 - They got a $535,000,000 return on their money when Obama saw to it that they were the first to receive bailout money......then Obamas contributors abandoned the company and Solyndra went bankrupt.
It is clear to me that Obama is out for Obama, and nobody else. He will go down in history as the great black hope that was the great American let-down.
At least Romney knows how to run things at a profit, not a 6 trillion dollar loss.
ANYONE BUT OBAMA 2012
THere are many polls out there and right now Obama has a slight lead. But that can change. Don't expect it to get better if Obama is re-elected.
2016: Obama's economic policies have continued to fail and driven un-employment to a record high (>15%). The debt has increased by 15 trillion from yearly deficits alone. There is NO hope in sight.
But hey, Clinton said it would be fine and we just needed more time ...
Oh, it's Bush's fault ...
2012: Don't vote for continuing failure (and if you do, don't blame anyone else except yourself).
Good luck!
I have been saying for awhile now, Everytime Mittens opens his mouth a Million Voters go and vote for President Obama, with this latest Gaffe Mittens just gave Obama 15 Million more Voters. Keep Talking mittens, Lets make POTUS Obama win in a landslide
Forwards not Backward
P.S. Mittens where ARE YOUR GAWDAMN TAX RECORDS?
You have RoadWarrior telling us that Rasmussen was number one in predicting who will be president in 2008.. And to take from that how now they have Romney up by two points.. Meaning only one thing that he knows Romney will win because Rasmussen was right in 2008??
Ok, so you go to the same website and Rasmussen has 247 electoral votes for Obama secured.. With 95 up for grabs..
Now you are going to tell me that im getting ahead of myself based on what RoadWarrior said?
Did you know that in 2005 Bush gave 50 BILLION dollars to Iraq for reconstruction and that out of that 50+ billion 8.7 billion are still missing?
Our president gave Solyndra 500 million and with that money they hired 1,100 workers for 2 years??
The money Obama gave was for American workers.
how much of that money Bush gave went to American workers?????
massachusettz: And exactly what has Obama and the dems done to assist our economic recovery? Considering we don't have one and the fact that Obama and the dems passed everything they wanted the first 2 years under Obama and the last 2 years under W, I'm wondering what policies have been put in place by the dems to spur the economy. The fact is that there has been nothing even remotely intended to spur the economy done by the dems. The only thing the repubs have been able to do is stop Obama from further destroying the country. And, truth be told, they haven't done a terrific job of that either as they have continued to pretty much give Obama what he wants. Once again we get 6 more months of dem spending just so the battle to stop it doesn't have to be fought.
Of course, the House has passed a number of bills to begin to right the ship, but the dems won't even let them be voted on in the Senate.
If you go and follow tweets of famous people, you'll see people like Keith Olbermann and Markos/DailyKos retweeting tweets of very famous people - journalists, comedians, athletes, actors, etc.
And you'll find from reading these tweets that all the really cool people in this country are standing with President Obama.
Very interesting stuff out there in twitterland.

Of course the MSNBC is slanted Dem. But Ramussan is the republican equivalent. WSJ is no way Dem slanted, read their articles. Hell its owned by Fox News FFS. If they are off it is by stupidity, not nefarious deeds.
This article is a good representation of the main reason why I won't vote for President Obama: intellectual dishonesty coupled with in-your-face lies.
uh huh. thats it. Statistics can be quite disingenuous but if you believe them all, especially polls (for either side) I feel sorry for you
Give me one reason to disbelieve this poll other than it concludes something you don't want to hear.
HaHa. 32% strong-ish Democrats vs. 25% strong-ish Republicans and Obama can only get a 5 point lead. Great work NBC. (sarcasm)
Strong Democrat ............................................... 22
Not very strong Democrat ................................. 10
Independent/lean Democrat .............................. 10
Strictly Independent .......................................... 16

"Obama's convention bounce vanishes in Gallup poll"
"Gallup's seven-day rolling average indicates that 47% of registered voters supporting Obama and 46% supporting Romney, returning the race back to narrow, pre-convention margins."
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/09/18/obamas-convention-bump-vanishes/?hpt=hp_t2
You can't fool all of the people all of the time...apparently Mittens can't fool 50.1% of the people 1 time.
Excellent point!
They also have some of the most Conservative people in their comments sections..
Reagan was behind more than 5 points this same time when he ran for President and won in a landslide. And a poll by the Obama administrations in the pocket news outlet NBC, really doesn't mean much. I'll bet many of you that watch NBC or MSNBC haven't heard that Obama's Department of Justice watches Fox News all day and then counters the real news with it's own version of news it passes to Media Matters a tax exempt news organization that is supposed to be non partisan, but it feeds news outlets whatever the Obama administration wants them to. I assume they will lose their tax exempt status now that this has been found out. That is why Obama's administration is constantly saying don't watch Fox News, they prefer that you don't get the real news, just the sugar coated news that the Obama administration feed to MSNBC, NBC, ABC and Media Matters to give to all the rest. Obama said before he was Elected he would have the most open administration, and in reality they work harder on feeding you their own version of news and what they want you to hear instead of taking care of the real problems, jobs and the economy. Obama gives great speeches whenever he is in trouble or Americans are weary of his no action Presidency, but I say Actions (actually doing something) speaks loader than words. Mitt has a list a mile long of real successful accomplishments as Governor, businessman and a family man, Obama had no notable accomplishments before he was President and from what I can see, he has none now. It's a no brainier, Mitt has my vote and anyone voting for Obama this election, deserves to be had again. Fool me once, shame on youfault, fool me twice shame on me.
Road Warrior-1005773, that University of Colorado poll/study is not 30 years old! It has already been debunked. Using their new model, they are falsly advertising the claim they have "predicted the last 8 elections correctly". They went through the past 30 years of elections and used their flawed method to "predict" or force their method to conform to the results! Bull@!$%#! They haven't predicted anything yet-it's a new model filled with some very huge flaws. It's a total bull@!$%# methodology. Go ahead and hang your hopes on it. I'll stick with Nate Silver@538
"I reject your reality and substitute my own." ;-)
Obama/Biden 2012
Romney is not Reagan.. that's all i have to say..
I want to see a more progressive agenda. Stop the war spending and spend the money on paying down the debt, a sensible continuation to Universal Health Care, renegotiate of all trade agreements and impose tariffs on countries with heavy trade imbalances. That's the only way that we can force those jobs to return to US soil. Why should we get hit with heavy tariffs around the world or screwed by currency manipulation?
No. You didn't build that. We, as a nation of hard working people, as a society, built that.
Obama-Biden 2012 Elizabeth Warren-Bernie Sanders 2016
IT's ALL OVER MITTINS!
@ Mr Jay
I totally agree. You make more sense than many of the above noted posters. The poll is shoddy and biased. It doesn't represent the USA voters as a whole.
Numbers can be made to say whatever anyone wants them say. Corporations, politicians, etc., do it all the time. Always tipped in their favor. Then gullible people buy into.
The name calling, swearing, and outrageous comments shows what is wrong with our country. The old divide and conquer routine.
The real numbers will be reflected in November.
And on the 49th night the guessing will be over
This was shared with me, and I will now share it with you...for those who truly care. Some might say that President Obama doesn't have a personal agenda....decide for yourself.

Many think he may be running for President of the wrong country? /shrugs
Ryan/Romney, Republicans: Ruh Roh!
Explains a lot about Caesar. He grew up eating bread contaminated by armpit odor.
Read the data and is really confusing since they say there are 900 interviewed and the responses do not add up. I know how to read these things and the questions are tilted. Romney for one has not increased the countries debt but the question was not hypothetical. Surveys and polled no matter how well intended are skewed. The only poll that counts is election day.
From NPR:
By grouping those who don't pay income taxes together with those who he says are "dependent upon government" and therefore support President Obama, Romney has earned "three Pinocchios" from The Washington Post's The Fact Checker. It writes that:
In fact, while Romney seemed to say that the president will draw most of his support from those who pay no income taxes, a Tax Foundation map highlighting the 10 states with the highest percentages of "non-payers" shows most are Republican territories:
— Alabama
— Arkansas
— Florida
— Georgia
— Idaho
— Louisiana
— Mississippi
— New Mexico
— South Carolina
— Texas
hahahaha
Romney insulted his own voters.
Its an edited video from about 5 speeches... You people are pathetic..
Do a search on youtube and look up how the world ends in 2012.. they all look so real..

What are you trying to say?
Same webpage:
Obama 247 electoral votes secured/likely
95 up for grabs.. You think Romney will take all of them?
In my book, he is a MILLION points ahead. Obama/Biden 2012!!!
Sheryl, this is a quote fro the very conservative Laura Ingraham:
"If you can't beat Barack Obama with this record, then shut down the party. Shut it down. Start new, with new people."
She knows Romney will not be president....
During the Republican primary, Ingraham argued that Romney would have to bring his "A-game" to the general election in order to beat Obama. "I don't know if Mitt Romney can beat him," Ingraham said on ABC's "This Week," recalling a conversation she had with prominent conservatives.
The more Romney talks the more people see his true colors. The gap will continue to spread!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012!
Libertarded read only the headline , not the actual poll, Obama is not calling for victory only his surrogates, his campaign knows, it is far to be over.
Negative view of Barrack increase in 1 point from the last month
55 % still believe we are in the wrong direction
Libertarded call, win, win Obama's foreign policies but in polls drop from 54 % to 49 % the voters who believe Obama is doing a good job in foreign policy and 40 % to 46% who disapprove his job.
Romney negative drop from from 29 % to 27 %
Glad to see that JimSpence has finally joined us Real Americans.
Welcome aboard, Jim!
Now if he can just figure out which party stands on this side and which on the other.
Oh well, one step at a time!
Jim Spence - What is a "Real American"?
It's looking bad for Romney when even his own party is openly critical of him and his campaign. To quote David Brooks:
What is bad news for Romney is good news for the American people. I believe Obama has an excellent chance of winning re-election. But it will take a lot of hard work and dedication on the part of his supporters. Complacency is deadly.
OBAMA/BIDEN NOVEMBER 6
First that poll was obviously biased, since the one I took said that 89% believe that our government is going in the wrong direction, with 4% undecided.
Next:
US District Court Judge Katherine Forrester ruled earlier this year that the indefinite detention provision in the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) is unconstitutional and ordered a block on its enforcement.
Yet now the same Obama who claimed when the NDAA first came out that "he would veto it", is fighting in court to have that "power" put back into the NDAA so he would again be able to use it against American citizens.
Remember back in December of 2011, when President Obama signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 - Section 1021 of that law permits the indefinite military detention of American citizens on a mere suspicions?
Remember when the Obama and his administration attempted to portray itself as an oppositional force against the bill, threatening to veto it if it passed?
While behind the scenes (at the same time he was lying to the American people about vetoing the NDAA) Obama and his administration was fighting to have the ability to indefinitely detain, torture, and able to murder US citizens on US soil on suspicion – included into the NDAA.
Remember back then when he said that he “had” to sign it - but wrote a signing statement that sounded good politically but meant nothing legally.
So what is his excuse for fighting in court to have that illegal power put back into the NDAA?
Romney is no better. Both are traitors to the USA, along with Both Bush's, and both Clinton's, along with a myriad of those who served within their admistrations, previous and current. All need to be arrested and prosecuted.
Loved it, Jeff! :)
Caesar Augustus-
LOLZ...As usual....you are only half smart ..... Did you read the WHOLE article? It is an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll.....Who owns the Wall Street Journal? HAHAHA.....You live in a fantasy land......LOLZ....You sound like Mitt
T'was the night before elections,
And all thru' the town,
Tempers were flaring
Emotions ran up and down.
I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap,
Had shut off the TV,
tired of political crap.
When all of a sudden,
There arose such a noise,
I peered out my window,
Saw Obama and his boys
They had come for my wallet,
They wanted my pay
To hand out to others
Who had not worked a day!
He snatched up my money,
And quick as a wink,
Jumped back on his bandwagon
As I gagged from the stink.
He then rallied his henchmen
Who were pulling his cart.
I could tell they were out
To tear my country apart!
'On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, on Pelosi'
He screamed at the pairs!
They took off for his cause,
And as they flew out of sight,
I heard him laugh at a nation
Who wouldn't stand up and fight!
So I leave you to think on this one final note...
IF YOU DON'T WANT SOCIALISM GET OUT AND VOTE !!!!
Author unknown
Who the hell are they polling? Who in the hell has increased optimism about the economy? Well besides those like Fiesty who will blindly follow the party line right off a cliff...
oskar-1399512
Oh we read the polls. And you're such a short-sighted little man that you don't. Libertarded??? Did you spend a day or two thinking that one up? Unfortunately for you, little man. we're all progressives .... which means ... wait for it ... We move FORWARD whereas your party is stuck in the 50's and wants to go backward.
Obama/Biden 2012 - where the entire 100% matter
mike-2598123 & Kornfed
Both stupid, under educated and lack of economic understanding comments...........Your lack of economic understanding shows through in your choice of moronic comments.
And what exactly is the meaning of forward in this instance? Race baiting and class warfare? Back to the future!
More U.S. soldiers have been killed and wounded during President Barack Obama's first term in office than former President George W. Bush's two terms. And the anti-war mainstream media that regularly counted the number of deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan under Bush, for the most part, has been silent on the number of deaths and casualties that have resulted under Obama.
Under former President George W. Bush, 575 American soldiers died and fewer than 3,000 were wounded in Afghanistan. This means under Obama, at least 1,405 soldiers have died and nearly 15,000 additional soldiers have been wounded, which means 70% of the deaths and nearly 80% of the injuries in Afghanistan have occurred under Obama's watch.
In 2010, Obama sent 33,000 additional U.S. troops to Afghanistan as part of the "surge," and Americans have been received with more hostility with each passing day. Because Obama is a Democrat, the media has been reluctant to shine more of a light on Afghanistan's destabilization under Obama.
I hope that gets seen by MSNBC. Those guys are both very well informed; you should choose your battles more wisely Peter.
Mike,
whoever wrote that is an idiot, we are already a "Socialist" nation and have been for some time, ever since the new deal we have had a large amount of Socialism in our Government and economy. The problem is egg heads do not understand the difference between Socialism and Communism. They are not and have never been the same thing. Socialism is a mixture of Communism, Capitalism, and sometimes Fascism that works where pure forms of the other two fail.
There are many levels of Socialism. For example Europe is much more Socialist than we are. We are more on the Capitalist side of Socialism. The place we do not want to be is on the Communist side of it but we are no where near reaching that; we would have to pass by Europe and the Netherlands in terms of Socialistic policies before that would happen.
The main problem if our society is that some people are obsessed with money. They want to keep more of it because they are greedy, they want to make as much as possible, sometimes at the expense of others. Capitalism, the pure kind, promotes obsessive greed towards money. Those that make lots of money are more powerful and have more say then those that do not. If you cannot succeed and produce in a pure Capitalist economy you are left in a gutter.
Socialism on the other hand promotes success but also promotes humble success. Success that is not viewed as a personal victory but a victory for everyone that helped make a business successful: the workers, the management, the CEO, the board, the stock holders, and the customers. It does not promote the kind of all bets are off greed that pure Capitalism does and it also promotes more giving to those that are not as successful.
It does not promote "wealth redistribution". That is Communism, where everyone makes the same pay regardless of job and where no one citizen has more power than the other. Socialism, on the other hand, asks for those that are successful to give some more of their money, which they can bear to part with, to help their fellow Americans that are down on their luck or are facing hard times.
America was built upon a socialist ideology but not one similar to Europe's; we have our own brand of Socialism where all Americans help their fellow Americans by paying taxes that help fund programs and services that the public at large use. This country was built upon the premise that all Americans shall help their countrymen when in time of need.
Obviously we can argue about how far that idea should go but to say we do not practice any Socialism at all is a lie.
@Road and others throwing Gallup and Rasmussen polls around like they are Gospels:
One poll does not amount to a hill of beans, even if the sample size is large enough to be declared as confident unless you poll most of your target pool. Real Clear Politics' averaged score is MUCH more accurate than any one poll from ANYONE is.
That score shows Obama up by 3% He took a hit from the whole ME thing but so did Romney. We have not yet felt the impact of this latest closed-dinner gaffe yet but it should show up in a few days as a few -0.% for Romney if not a whole point drop:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/us/general_election_romney_vs_obama-1171.html
Sure.......What grand wisdom do you have to share? All talk with nothing to really say....You left out a whole nother war......Smoke and mirrors with you guys...always smoke an mirrors.
Mittsters own mother was shown in video on John Stewart show telling how Mitts old man used to be on welfare.....Hell even Mitts old man wouldn't vote for Mittster after the comments he made about people being on welfare!!!
While it is yet too early to be popping champagne corks,, it does seem likely that the release of this bootleg video of Mitt Romney expressing his real opinion of those at the bottom of the economic ladder will be a crystallizing moment: one of those instants that is later viewed as a turning point, like the ad featuring Mike Dukakis riding in a tank, like George H.W. Bush expressing wonder and puzzlement over the miracle of bar-code readers at the supermarket.
He's now caught between his own words and his reputation as a flip-flop artist. If he backs away from his statements on video, he reaffirms his status as a mealy-mouthed, political chameleon. If he sticks to his guns, he reaffirms his image as an infamous 1-percenter, champion of the super rich.
I guess he got tired of shooting himself in the foot ...and decided to aim a bit higher.
Good thinking, Mitt!!!
Forever Waves of Grain
Just cause someone agrees with you doesn't make them "well informed".......I know it is hard for you right wing nuts to have common sense....Like the understanding of simple terms...Like "Supply and demand"...."devaluation of middle class wealth"........"middle class debt to income ratio" (and how that compares to debt to income ratios of the past 10 years)....."inflation" (and how that happens when you start printing money as we have....controlled inflation)........If you can put those pieces together....then you are of average intelligence.....If you cannot you are either rich and greedy or poor and stupid.....if you are the later I will take the time to write it in crayon for you.....
Are you freaking serious?
4,487 killed in Iraq under Bush + 575 = 5062 soldiers dead under Bush
50,000 plus wounded..
Obama removed close to 250,000 soldiers from Iraq and sent 33,000 to Afghanistan to fight the war we should have been fighting in the first place.. He even said this before he was the democratic nominee for president..
About 80,000 troops in Afghanistan when Obama came in plus 33,000 = 113,000
By the end of this month 66,000...
The media is not hiding anything and those are the real numbers.. You are one crazy fool!!!! or a libertarian?
I'd like to see a poll on how voters feel about funding terrorists.
Since Obama helped overthrow the governments of Egypt and Libya both countrie have been under the control of the muslim brotherhood and al-qaeda.
Barack Obama has sent them over 2.5 billion dollars of your money.
In October he plans to begin sending them over 2 billion more of your dollars.
Is it OK tosend terrorists money because they have elected governments of the countries they control??
Frank-739698
I'd like to see the poll about how many republicans have lost their freaking mind these last 4 years.....
Yeah right!!!
The lend and lease act of 1941 was the first time the US started giving aid to other countries.. They gave money to these countries because it was considered that these countries were vital to national security..
And now just like every other republican theory about our president hes doing it to help out the terrorists?
Man just go to sleep or something...
Enquirer........ oops, MSNBC. I distinctly heard your little clueless Tuck Chodd say just last week that these polls can't be trusted. So what gives?
oh yeah, that "47%" just happens to include all of the retired people..
oops
no, just a liar
Forever waves of...B.S.
You even have to lie about the number of troops BUSH KILLED because he and CHENEY LIED THE NATION INTO IRAQ WAR.........How pathetic is that........TRYING TO HIDE THE FACT THAT BUSH IS A WAR CRIMINAL? Notice he is a no show at repub conventions? We do!
The voters who have increased optimism about the economy are the people with their eyes open. The see the 30 straight months of job growth, the resurgence of the stock market, the piles of cash that corporations have on their balance sheets.
Compare America's economic situation today to what it was exactly four years ago today.
If you don't see a huge improvement, you need glasses my friend.
Fox shut down their Forum? Now that's a story I'd like to read. My favorite forum got shut down right after Bush II was elected for a first term - every small newspaper site sold out to the top 10 media giants...and don't forget all the domain names Bush bought so Web sites with any derogatory reference to him wouldn't pop up.
What happened to my favorite pollster - John Zogby, he gets no major props this time around - after his slanted polls from 2008 had McCain winning by a landslide. His poor brother James from LINK TV had to grow up with Johnny liar pants...must be interesting during the Holidaze.
Amazing. Simply amazing how you can rationalize just about anything if you really want to.
LMAO; a year ago a John Zogby poll had Herman Cain beating Romney and Obama.
John also hated Woodstock and 9-11 Truthers.
That loud flushing sound you are hearing is Mittens campaign going down the toilet.
I've noticed that all of the RWNJ's writing today aren't defending what Mittens said, they're just pissed at Feisty, cause after all the BS they give her, it turns out SHE'S RIGHT! Keep it up Feisty, I giggle every time one of them writes to you (hey it beats trying to defend their wacko candidate!), cause I know they are about to pee in their pants! Oh well, As most have said all along, Democrats don't need to run Mittens down, because truthfully, I don't think we are capable of coming up with this crap, it's like a Carl Hiaasan novel (and don't think he won't have one out very soon about a certain presidential candidate-do ya here that Carl!!) that writes itself.
ATTENTION ALL CONSERVATIVES-Interesting that Peggy Noonan, the conservative queen of the right wing rag, The Wall Street Journal, just wrote that "It's time for an Intervention with Mitt", ruh-roh, you know things are bad when they start eating their own!
http://blogs.wsj.com/peggynoonan/2012/09/18/time-for-an-intervention/
Wow! The little radical righties are in an uproar aren't they? I understand. Having Mitts - again - look as stupid as he is must be soooooo embarrassing. Why, even Republican leaders are lamenting that they have a loser.
Why did anyone think this lamebrain would be a good Presidential candidate? Oh well - the party of NO has NO candidate worth having. Mitt actually fits them quite well. NO integrity; NO intelligence; NO honor; NO morals; NO nothing!!!!
Obama/Biden 2012 for the health of the country!
Read 'em and weep, boys, BA-ZING!
The devil is in the details and when you look at the significant markers in the polling you see that Obama is trending upward and Romney downward.
I know that Obama team is modeling the 04 election and that's good, but I'm predicting the trend will continue upward for the President based on these poll results.
I think Mr. Romney is looking at far more than a mere 47% who plan to vote for the President no matter what.
Oh, and thanks again Mr. Romney for letting us know EXACTLY how you feel about us. I'd say that pretty much takes care of the undecideds. Thanks for the votes.
Obama/Biden 2012
This poll is junk for reasons already pointed out (heavy on democrats) and almost everytime they come out with a poll we have to go over why it is complete crap.That being said Rassmussen and Gallup have it a very tight race and considering the compete economic disaster we are in combined with many different foreign policy nightmares I'm really suprised Obama is even in this race right now. The media will do everything they can to help which is hard to overcome when you have CBS, NBC, MSNCB, ABC, CNN, New York Times, Ect... all campaigning for you for free. I still believe Romney is the better choice by far and will win but I am suprised it is this close.
Well, Well, Well, the MSM,( Marxist-Socialist Media), continuing their desperate propaganda campaign to try to save Noble leader, (note to the believers , when a poll shows your guy ahead by 5 and you have to oversample by seven, with an even higher percentage of those being the most fanatical of the Obama kool aid drinkers to get there, that is not good news),back in the real world,as protests against the Dear Comrades policies spread worldwide to over thirty countries,and You are constantly lied being told it was because of a 15 second film trailor that was released in June and none of the Muslims thought to protest until September 11, purely by coincidence,and now, We have a dead Ambassador, raped and murdered in our own consulate, AMERICAN SOIL, a justified act of warl! and the Chosen one , after going to bed to get a good nights sleep, before even finding out the fate of Our Ambassador, or seeing if there was anything he could, then jets off to Vegas to show his concern,and tops it off by dissing the Israeli Prime minister , who wanted to meet with him to try to avert a nuclear war with Iran, but noble leader was too busy going on late night television, and partying with Hollywood types to concern himself with such.The same week, Our credit rating is downgraded......again, Our National debt now exceeds 16 trillion dollars,thats more than $50,000 of debt for every man woman and child who lives here, and the number grows higher, setting new records everyday,and the chosen ones solution? why, authorize the printing of more money, (because we do not have more real money, We are broke), which decreases the value of the money We do have. Household income is now lower than it was in the so called great recession,every household has lost over four thousand dollars a year every Year of the Obama Administration and there is no sign of it getting better,twenty plus million people are out of work now, and every month more people stop looking for work ,than find jobs,(another gross undersampling in the above mentioned poll),and yet the Nothing But Communist network puts out this piece of propagandistic trash,to try to fire up their base,(didn't work so well with the feigned outrage over Romney saying the 47 percent who pay no taxes......pay no taxes, and that was supposed to turn rational, thinking, adults away from Romney?, in fact it had the opposite effect).Just a clue for those who voted for Obama last time, just to prove You were not a rascist, and to look cool to your friends, this time, vote for Romney, just to prove You are not stupid, and for the future of Your Children and the Country.

Whoa, a nuanced and pragmatic view of the actual makeup of American ideals! Kudos to you.
Examples of functioning socialism in America:
1] The US military
2] The Interstate Highway system (although, it needs much more "investment" to move us forward)
3] USDA- much less food related illnesses since that agency started
4] NIH- in partenrship with major US universities, we the peoplehelp formulate long term solutions to hideous diseases such as cancer, MS, AIDS and many more
5] Local school boards, plannig boards, and zoning commitees- most of which are representing their local constituents attain whatever goals they have for their respective communites and agencies.
But, hey, we should all be afraid of words and labels especially since we don't endevour to learn from each other.
Forever Waves of Grain "Under former President George W. Bush, 575 American soldiers died and fewer than 3,000 were wounded in Afghanistan. This means under Obama, at least 1,405 soldiers have died and nearly 15,000 additional soldiers have been wounded, which means 70% of the deaths and nearly 80% of the injuries in Afghanistan have occurred under Obama's watch."
I made a study a couple of years ago, and of the 600,000+ American war deaths over the last 100 years, more than 96% of them were under Democratic Presidents - despite both parties holding the White House about equal amounts of time.
Perhaps Republicans are just a lot more realistic foreign policy that helps in PREVENTING wars, and the Democrats are just a lot more naive, which gets us in wars much too often.
By the way - Obama's weak foreign policy efforts and 'apologizing for America' does not seem to have engendered much support for America from Islamic countries. The situation in the World is far more dangerous under Obama than under Bush.
Roy, I remember. You did not make a study. You made a broad observance, one which attempts to equate such wars a WWI, WWII and Korea with Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. It had all the academic grounding of a post card from your aunt.
I guess it is not important that over 4,000 American soldiers were dying in an unnecessary war in Iraq, or that the neglect of the Afghanistan war is precisely why we have over 100,000 soldiers there now.
Your logic is about as solid as Mitt Romney's election chances.
Yup, Bush sure avoided the war in Iraq, the same way a drunk driver avoids a bridge abutment.
Good observance, Roy.
I'm sure too, that had Wendell Willkie won in 1940 the U.S. would have evaded entry into WWII. Of course Willkie's realistic foreign policy would have left Germany in control of most of Western Europe and probably Russia, and Japan in control of most of the Far East.
I'm sure too that Thomas Dewey would have avoided involvement in Korea, too. Of course that would have left the entire Korean peninsula under the control of a series of communist megalomaniacs, with additional millions living in near starving conditions.
But why worry?
Yup, those Democratic presidents, FDR and Truman did our nation and the world incalculable harm.
One can only imagine how much better off we'd all be if the Nazis were ruling most of Europe and North Africa, or if Communism had absorbed all of Korea.
Good thinking. ;-)
dman-353357 "I made a study a couple of years ago, and of the 600,000+ American war deaths over the last 100 years,..............Roy, I remember. You did not make a study. You made a broad observance"
Study: 'The pursuit of knowledge, as by reading, observation, or research.'
A 'broad observance' requires only pointing out something that could be obvious. Since I had to research how many combat deaths occurred under each President over the last 100 years, it was indeed a 'Study'.
You can make 'excuses' for the tragic results under Democratic Presidents (which Obama has refined to a fine art), but it does not change the facts.
Nice response, Roy. Is the above another "study".
To call you're illogical observances on the wars of the last century, and their relationship to the party of the sitting President, a study in any academic sense is an embarrassment.
Apparently, to you Iraq's fictional WMD is equivalent to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I could laugh, if the subject were not so tragic.
Mitt's new theme song "slip sliding away".
"And that has McInturff, the GOP pollster, cautioning that this year’s race could be equally close, despite Obama’s current lead..."
Not even close Bill, this will be a landslide for Obama.
I dont remember the last time a candidate talked down on his own base about handouts and government dependency.
By far the most people (the 47% Romney was talking about) who depend on handouts and government assistance are Senior citizens, White men with a high school degree, ALL the Red States who all happen to be Republicans. I am not sure how he is gonna survive this....A lot of seniors are up in arms right now, and that aint gonna be pretty
Man, what an idiot...
I'm sure Paul Simon (a Liberal) would love to sing it to him, lol!
Obama's theme song is Burn it down by Linkin Park
This says it all... the race is going to be close because neither candidate is honestly good enough to lead this country.

You have to be amused by all the RWNJ's as Feisty calls them, who graon & moan about the Poll being a NBC Poll and how NBC is skewed towards the Democrats and wah, wah, wah... take a better look at the title, it is the NBC/Wall Street Journal Poll and I wouldn't call the WSJ a liberal, Democrat leaning publication since it tends to be the print version of the GOP Propaganda outlet; Fixed News...
While I am reveling in the latest Polls and Romney's misfortune, I do believe that we need to stay on point and continue to push hard towards the finish line and that way, we can all get a real good laugh at not Mitt Romney who is really a sad fellow but at Rinse Penis, the RNC Chairman who is a marbled mouth idiot who should sign up for Hair Club for Men and get a few plugs to fix that chrome dome of his. The GOP is going to wish they had of stuck with Michael Steele instead of switching up and going with Rinse Penis.... I am just saying..... :)
At this point it's a dead heat...and that's not good for Obama. There are a lot voters that voted Obama last time that will either be switching over or not showing up.
If you're relying on that to get it up, you are in for a cold shower, pal.
q: What has 100 eyes and 50 teeth?
a: Front row at a Republican rally.
will have to wait and see tonybeerm, I don't mind too much either way, neither one of these guys cares an ounce about me or you for that matter, I just don't think the numbers look good for Obama he is down in every category that supported him last time around.
Democrats need to get to the polls this year and vote a STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC TICKET!!!! NO more Republicans should hold any office in this country, and the president can't do it by himself. Get out and vote!
Well, Doc, you might have a had a point, but Romney's representing you too. Congrats on trying to talk down on Republicans after trying to make a point about how you've never seen such a thing happen before. You do it all the time, thus he's as much your representative as Obama is. Obama, whom I might add, always talks down on people, down to people, and down at people.
And again, a poll of less than 1000 people is not evidence of anyone or anything winning except in a town of 1000 people. Do we even still have those? Maybe where you come from where people only have 1 tooth per 2 eyes. You're a disgrace the memory of Doc Holiday; he at least kept his mouth shut most of the time and only spoke when he had something important to say. Gawd you're an idiot.
Well you can deny polls, I understand it is hard. I think next week is going to be pretty tough when the poll includes this weeks news.
Ok, I'll just let you scream and hate, but you gotta look at your candidate, he is not connecting with the people who he needs to carry him. Don't point at Obama, he is just letting MItt be Mitt.
When and where are these polls done? I have never once in my life been asked by a poll who I am voting for.
The liberals are nervous...very nervous! Obama should be leading by double-digits if he was a true leader...
He has shown his face and most of America is on to him...still thinks he's a likable guy...but no leader.
Polls are polls...only thing that counts are votes. Remember liberals...you folks said the polls showed Gov. Walker would be removed...
We'll all see in Nov...I see another Reagan/Carter result.
Sleuth - I believe it is the only way to get the Republicans to pick off the teabagger leach. I have never voted a straight ticket and it actually makes me sad that the Republican Party has digressed to such a point.
It's time to spank the Republicans for pandering to the freaks, kick the teabaggers to the curb, send Boehner to the Betty Ford Clinic and, for god's sake, elect a House of Representatives that functions!!!
Doc...
Was that an attempt at humor? Gawd man, keep your day job...or in your case, please stay on unemployment!
POLLS are like a$$holes - everyone has one - including the liberal agenda propaganda machine NBC/WSJ
If you vote based on polls you are foolish no matter what party. This is just partisan rhetoric from NBC/WSJ so close to election.
Shock and disgusted...
I have never voted a straight ticket and it actually makes me sad that the Republican Party has digressed to such a point.
Yea, right! LOL! You are about as transparent as the Obama administration...
Dragon - speaking of "sliding away".... you might want to look at real polls once in a while instead of swallowing the NBC propaganda.
"Obama's convention bounce vanishes in Gallup poll"
"Gallup's seven-day rolling average indicates that 47% of registered voters supporting Obama and 46% supporting Romney, returning the race back to narrow, pre-convention margins."
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/09/18/obamas-convention-bump-vanishes/?hpt=hp_t2
mRj Wow..lighten up cupcake. I know its hard being on a sinking ship, but hey, maybe you baggers can come up with a Real good horse next time to get thumped by Hilary. Now go sulk some where else. Go have a nice pot of tea dear and take your mind off your hate for a while.
This is freaking hilarious- just because Romney said when you rob from Peter to pay Paul (tax the rich) you will always have Paul's vote, the libs are having orgasms thinking their messiah may win. If he wins (and I emphasize IF) just think of the mess he will inherit this time! Just the headlines on BSNBC are pathetically desperate. The one that Obama on Letterman chastizes Romney for dissing the 47% is a joke. Obama has only been a president of the Democrats for 3 1/2 years. Then when pressed by the left for details and Romney says he will tackle China- funny thing, Obama decides to do that yesterday. What a snake in the grass. He is a failure- this will be another shellacking. ha ha ha ha
Or...'You see my true colors shining through....."
HA HA HA HA
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012!
Or.... "Liar"...
ha ha ha
Romney/Ryan 2012 the end of an error
So I found out today quite by accident, that the Federal Reserve was a 100 year charter that started in 1913 and ends in 2013. So how come neither candidate has spoken about this? how come neither the left wing or right wing media has mentioned this? Whats the plan. does the gov. take back it's currency or does it let the bankers keep it????????????
you know something? I actually agree with you. I think that President Obama did NOT have the knowledge, experience and the skill to lead this country WHEN HE WAS ELECTED. he has improved, but still is not the greatest leader, but he is still better than the elitist Romney
LMAO it seems many of you have let "Feisty Redhead" get under your skin. Poor little babies...
Because it's not true. The Federal Reserve is not and never was a chartered bank, it's a system that was created by an act of Congress. It has no time limits, excepting if the Federal Reserve Act is repealed.
*forehead smack* Conspiracy theories.
Hey come on Shawn, they're trying to not talk about Mittens stepping in sheet again, and there you go, peeing in their Cheerios. George pauljohn thought he found something neat on the Internet, and he knows if it is on the Internet, it must be true. He told all of his 2 friends and they both believed it. Hell, he's still hoping they find the WMD's so he can prove once and for all that his former hero will make a comeback. "He loves you yea, yea, yea............"
The liberals are ecstatic, cantakenomore, or hadn't you noticed?
Thank-you for your metaphorical imitation of a man whistling in the grave yard.
You can almost smell the sweet aroma of panic arising from the Republican Party.
@ dman-353357: so many repubs (including Faux Snooze talking heads) say Obama's been the worst President in history. And yet....Romney can't seem to get out of second place, of a two-man race. In fact, he's now losing even more yardage on the play.
I guess repub's are wrong on both accounts: Obama's not the worst, and Romney was really the wrong choice. But that second issue came up during the primaries....when we saw such a low primary turn-out. Repub's didn't like him then, and he can't lift his weight, now. Oh well...maybe in 2016; as they say....third times the charm.
nope, that would be Hillary...
The 47% of the people he just villafied are the Lazy Republicans, who are now really mad and are going to vote for Obama now!
Nice job, Romnoob.
Jack....really that's funny you believe every media article you read don't you? You should be more offended by the fact that the concept of journalistic integrity and unbiased reporting are dead. In this era of information overload, doesn't it make you nervous that this is how so many people will make one of the most important decisions for this country? Doesn't it seem odd that in an election year they have not even pressed our President for a press conference nor do they press him on any issues? It's really scary if you think about it, and when you feed into it you only help it grow.
saychowda - you do know the President has a press conference practically every day right? He is repeatedly pressed on issues and the press is permitted to ask questions - unlike Mitt who doesn't allow any questions.
Obama/Biden 2012
they're not Republicans, but all democrates: they depend on the government help so they did and will again vote for dumbama. look like you walking beside your shoes, Jack-a.....sssssssssssssssss.
Romneyhood just dissed his base. Where are most of the welfare queens located? All across the south......and Utah.
Do those people have any pride or are they going to continue voting republicon?
seeking sanity
when the middle east blew up last weekend, who took questions and who stood in the rose garden and made a statement no questions. You may want to check your facts the presidents staff has a press meeting, not the President everyday, I guess it would interfere with his golf game
saychowda - stupid comment. The President was not playing golf but was doing what he as a President was supposed to be doing. He was determining the best way to handle the crisis; talking with his Secretary of State and military leaders. Please - at least TRY to sound intelligent!
Obama/Biden 2012
seeking sanity you are way off. Saychowda's comment was at least accurate when he stated the president hasn't been pressed on issues by reporter's, even CNN admits they've been pretty easy on him. You didn't need to be rude to Saychowda for bringing up an important point about the integrity of our journalists who fail to press a president on important issues simply because they support his candidacy.
why thank you swboon398....
Seeking Sanity I stand corrected he was on his way to a campaign fund raiser, so perhaps he didn't have time for sloppy seconds in the press junket.
SAVE AMERICA 2012
Romney was talking about his own base. You GOP states you lazy bastards get off your white azzes and go to work. No more government welfare for you and to put icying on top of the cake you lazy bastards wont get social security either.
When 47% of the American public is written off as "parasites" by a extremely wealthy presidential candidate in a room full of plutocrats, who pay a lower effective tax rate than their secretaries or employees on the floor, something has gone very, very wrong with the concept of liberty and justice for all.
does anyone really believe NBC polls....LOL
You liberal jackels are laughable. He didn't write off the "parasites" as you call them, he is referencing the Obama foodstamp king policies. He thinks he is Robbin da Hood, steal from the rich to give to the poor and you will always have the poor vote. Even down and out Republicans see through Obama's bullsh!t. Vote straight party Republican- get all the creepy crawly dems out!
Shellacking in 2012!
Crystal, can u possibly believe that 47% of America that is not paying taxes are "all" democrats? Really? So do the math with me. If he does not care about 47% and even a third of that are republicans, then he could not possibly win the election without that part of it. So are you saying Romney cannot possibly win? This is what Clinton was talking about when he mentioned mathematics. you guys just can't add
crystal stfu
. He thinks he is Robbin da Hood, steal from the rich to give to the poor and you will always have the poor vote.
Why is asking the rich to pony up the same as the lower/middle class bad??
While you dem sheep are making a villain out of Romney check out what your liar-and-thief is doing

IPCMFG, go to the Federal Register, all right, and actually read the executive orders issued by the President.
Obama issued none of those.
In fact, the most recent order in your list was issued by Gerald Ford.
God, get a clue and do some research.
You can finally say something good about Romney,GOOD-BYE.

Been eating psychodelic mushrooms or what. You would rather have a mormon and an a atheist running the country in the ground? If you watch any takeover of cities or riggin of votes is a republican thing. go the dr or something.
And also when you take people over you don't do it on paper. Show me anywhere that did.
Is this another attempt of the Lame-Stream-Media to "Deflect any negative reports on Obama" ??? :( It is truly a shame when you discover you can't trust the Justice Department!!!!!!

Well IPCMFG, at least he isn't running around lying about a Country having WMD and costing 4500 you ng American's their lives because he thinks his daddy was insulted by some tin horn Dictator who by the way, kept Iran in check. So not only did the dumb ass GOP start a stupid war the cost lives & treasure, they made the present state of Iran's saber rattling possible... Good work by your local, American loving Draft Dodging Neo-Cons, brought to you by the GOP
.
I heard Mitt's mother said that Mitt's father was once on warefare. I wonder if Romney has had a mental block where that is concerned.
We already knew he was in trouble. The latest foot in mouth only adds to the pain. I'm ready for the debates.
Me too, can't wait!!! It going to be...LEGEN wait for it...DARY!!! Going to be Shock and Awe II
Kolob to Romney. Kolob to Romney. Can you read me, Romney? Romney, kiss my ever-luvin' azz cheeks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYDfwUJzYQg
Who did they poll, all black democrats
goatman55 what a low info voter type of comment. Guess what? A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS LIKE AND APPROVE OF THIS PRESIDENT. In WORLD polls his approval rating is upward of 75%. Get over it. 4 more years of STEADY, intelligent leadership. Thank God the CHRISTIAN, Obama will win this race. I am not fooled by the man from the planet Kolob.
Boy, are you braindead or what?
goatman (I feel for the goats) .... there is a link to the poll above .... you might try reading once in awhile ... but woops! you must be one of the 47%
goatman55,unfortunately for Romney they polled all elderly white men.
And I believe your true colors our showing goatman!
Patrick, Sponge Bob just called and asked if you could cover his shift at the Crusty Crab.
So apparently the worldwide business community is brain-dead?
LONDON | Fri Aug 17, 2012 8:22am EDT
LONDON (Reuters) - Twice as many business executives around the world say the global economy will prosper better if incumbent President Barack Obama wins the next election than if his Republican challenger Mitt Romney does, a poll showed on Friday.
There's three kinds of people in the world. Those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened. Romney is number 3.
Yeah, what was Romney thinkin' anyhow. Does he really think us 47% want jobs? Heck, me and friends would have to give up staying up all night playing World of Warcraft and other video games. My mom might have to get off disability that she worked so hard to get. I guess we'll have to wait until my dad gets out of jail. Maybe he can get a job. If not, he can always pick up cans along side the road or beg. That seems easy. I know some of the 47% people want jobs, but it's not for me or my friends.
goatman - your goats need you back at the herd. You're clearly over you head here!
JoeKnow - you know, I'll bet everything you said in your post is true. I'll also bet you're a good little Republican boy!
Obama/Biden 2012
It was NBC and the WALL STREET JOURNAL.
Um ... is the WSJ one of those Libby propaganda papers?
Eric you do know who owns The Wall Street Journal don't you? That name sums the low standards of all parties up rather neatly.
Say, goatman - was it your mother or was it your father that was the goat? I know you teabaggers like your incest, but animals? Really?
saychowda....New rule of thumb that may spare you some embarrassment. When you sniff glue, stay away from the computer. Do YOU know who owns the Wall Street Journal?
Goatman - It was just their usual bunch.... skewed heavily Democrat until the numbers became tolerable:
32% strong-ish Democrats vs. 25% strong-ish Republicans and Obama can only get a 5 point lead. Great work NBC. (sarcasm)
Strong Democrat ............................................... 22
Not very strong Democrat ................................. 10

goat...you Are one of Mitts 47%...and just to blind a dumb to see it. Sheeesh.
saychowda....does goatman always baaa for u?
GOATMAN is just your typical RACIST Republican , Teabagger
Mitt the Twit is GOING TO LOSE GET USE TO IT
Fact is we ARE better off than 4 years ago - I remember 4 years ago - does anyone else? Romney has proven that he would be an utter disaster on the global scene, shown us how to totally mismanage a convention and a campaign. No wonder Ryan doesn't care about Romney's positions on anything - he's simply happy to have been put on a pedestal for 2016.
Are you in a coma. DOnt you see whats going on in the rest of the world.?? Take your head out of your ass you idiot.
What was happening in 2008? The economy was going into the ditch! My house lost over half of its value and my 401 was worthless.
Now we have 30 months of job growth in spite of the unAmerican republicons filibusters, hostage taking, and extortion.
Oh, my 401 got its value back and I cashed it in before the republicons can trash the economy again, and the value of my house is coming back again.
Actually the banking/mortgage crisis was festered by Barny Frank and Bill Clinton, which all you Democrats will surely swoon over.
Sorry al91206 but I can't buy that at all. Another 5 trillion in debt with a looming nationalization of health care, a housing market that has been shackled by regulation after regulation. We are on the wrong path to prosperity and we need a change.
If you want to know why the world is the way it is, watch the movie "thrive". there are alot of sites that are using the name so you wont get tot he real site, make sure it's the official site and the .com one. watch it and weep
If true Its sad how many stupid people there are in this country.
Yeah, all the brain dead idiots that will vote for Obungler, the worst and most Un American POTUS this country has ever seen! He is destroying this country and you fools that think he is a good guy are blind as bats! How many of our freedoms will he sign away before you yet your heads out of your asses and see this evil person for what he really is? He Must go if the US is to survive as we know it!
Bobbyz & Dave P - yes and you two represent both the stupid and brain dead. My guess is you're voting Romney!
Obama/Biden 2012
Bobbyz... and they all are GOP/TEAS. So true. Dave P you are one SICK clown..Prove what you say you parrot, or
shut the F&^ck up. Sad sucker u are. Hate has warped your mind.
Dave? where were you when the wars began? where are you as the wounded struggle. we where taken from surpluss to debt and you never said a word, did you? Go live your "new world order" go listen to your henery kissinger. you follow a party that destroys. I follow a party that wants to rebuild.
"We must keep our eyes open and foot on the gas until we cross the finish line on 11.6.12!!"

THE FORCES OF DARKNESS
There is a war going on in America right now.
Its between Demarcates and Republicans.
It has caused a split from the white house, down through the states, through the races, the cultures, co-workers, families, neighbors. It has brewed up hatred through words over the Internet and e mails. It has ruined friendships and brought out the worse in people.
We live in a evil time.
How do I know this! By the very words of prophecy that is told, in the Word of God.
I know my bible very well and I am very familiar with the spiritual understanding of its message. I understand what it means when paul said, " Put on the whole armour of God, that ye my be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
What is happening all over the world right now, in these times that we are living in, was prophesied by the prophets many generations ago. Religions have been shaken up and found out, Governments at war throughout the world, Nations fighting against Nations ( races and cultural differences) and fighting within every country against its own.
The Word tells us that, the love of money is the root to all the evil in the world! We have become so driven by the need of it, that people are killing each other over it. Money is the cause for prisons being filled, the reason given for injustice and the lack there of. Money is why their are people starving in deserts, living in property, and dying in the streets. Countries rich with minerals ( oil) are controlling it for power, causing hardships on those who need it and can't afford it.
Power of Darkness
Ephesians 6; 12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Who did Jesus say this to? Wasn't it the rulers of his time! The Chief priest and captains of the temple, and the elders. He said in Luke 22; 53
When I was with you daily in the Temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: But this is your hour, and the power of darkness. They were the rulers of his time.
Seventy years ago, we know of another ruler who had the power of darkness. Adolf Hitler! The Jewish Nation suffered at his hands. Many lives were lost through a great war. Lives taken from many Nations.
Today, we have the root to all the evil coming against us with the power of the darkness.
Are we going to allow ourselves to be dictated to by those who hold that power, or are we going to stand by a man who has walked a path that Jesus himself would have walked.
A man who walks with us, not hold himself over us. A man who sees money as , giving relief to those who are hungary, homeless and in deep despair. He did the first thing first, and hoped for those receiving would come together as one, to replace it. His plan was the hope of those who had more then they could ever use, would understand how selfish it was for them to expect breaks, while the rest were going without. He expected the very same thing that Jesus has asked, to love one another, to reach out to each other.
But that almighty dollar has crippled those who have it. They say, " We earned it, why should we help those without?" Countries holding back their oil, do it for power! The wealthy hoarding up their riches of this world, do it for power as well!
These are powers of the darkness of the world. The Root to all the evil !
On The Other Side Of This War
is a man who stands up and calls himself a Godly man, yet holds the powers of darkness in his hands. He has all the support of those, like him, having the same power. signs have been given, conversations have been overheard. Those who hold the power of darkness do what they do in the dark. Their motives are evil and will only bring destruction. Their deeds are self-serving and they will never be satisfied. They will create more wars and send your son's ( NOT HIS ) to be killed, all for the sake of more power.
Don't let us become a foolish Nation! Don't allow your pride to cause us to fall! Don't be in Darkness!
And Christians everywhere out of their fear of the "Black man" have decided it's ok to vote for a presidential candidate who's own religion says the bible is NOT THE ONLY WORD OF GOD.
Sorry Linda, you lost me at "Demarcates" have no CLUE what those are . . . .
Layton you were lost looooonnnng before Linda posted.
linda your right..
WWJD?
Vote Obama!!!
factually wrong.
Little Linda appears to be upset... who stole her plastic Jesus?
Lordy, how I love when the bible bangers chime in! lmao!
Hmmm, that's a tough one...
The President is probably an atheist, as best I can make out, and Governor Romney believes that Jesus' Mom wasn't a virgin which besides being one of the fundamental axioms of Christianity, is sort of insulting, and believes that Jesus appeared to the native Americans on this continent.
I think Jesus might just be one of those undecideds...who could blame him...
says the soulless vampire. Its more like Linda Blairs character in the Exorcist. "blank me Jesus Blank me"
but Jesus had no time for politics thats why. Im not religious but I know that much. He wouldn't have picked sides in the worldly affairs
Jesus, Linda. I would tell you that you need to go get laid, but judging by that picture, that may be a tough task. Maybe Caesar will take you up on it
Wiki-
The synoptic gospels state that hostile questioners tried to trap Jesus into taking an explicit and dangerous stand on whether Jews should or should not pay taxes to the Roman authorities. The accounts in Matthew and Mark say that the questioners were Pharisees and Herodians, while Luke says only that they were "spies" sent by "teachers of the law and the chief priests".
They anticipated that Jesus would oppose the tax, as their purpose was "to hand him over to the power and authority of the governor" (Luke 20:20). The governor was Pilate, and he was the man responsible for the collecting of taxes in Roman Judea. At first the questioners flattered Jesus by praising his integrity, impartiality, and devotion to truth. Then they asked him whether or not it is right for Jews to pay the taxes demanded by Caesar. In the Gospel of Mark (12:15) the additional, provocative question is asked, "Should we pay or shouldn't we?" Jesus first called them hypocrites, and then asked one of them to produce a Roman coin that would be suitable for paying Caesar's tax. One of them showed him a Roman coin, and he asked them whose name and inscription were on it. They answered, "Caesar's," and he responded
The questioners were impressed (Matthew 22:22 states that they "marvelled", ἐθαύμασαν) and satisfied with the answer, they went away.
I volunteered feisty. I would suggest you, but i know how sensitive you are after your botched gender reassignment.
Romney is now releasing a video of Obama in 1998 -
A 1998 audiotape showing future president Barack Obama calling for progressives to “trick” the public into allowing economic redistribution. In that speech, Obama also used some of the same language he’s adopted for the 2012 campaign.
Amid public distrust, “the trick is figuring out how do we structure government systems that pool resources and hence facilitate some redistribution? — because I actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level to make to make sure everybody has got a shot,” Obama told a Loyola University audience in October 1998.
Since his ascent to the White House, he has followed a strategy of “pooling” taxpayer dollars into projects, including green-tech programs and cheap mortgages, that promote redistribution, while hiding the costs and risks.
Yep, that's absolutely the same exact thing. Check and mate team Romney!
Never underestimate the strategic brilliance of the Romney "brain trust"....
WTF?
exactly why Jesus had no time. if he had refused he would have been jailed (likely flogged). You have to understand the dynamics, Pilate hated the jews (as well as the Praetorian Prefect Sejanus and interim ruler) and he would have used Jesus to incite violence amongst them. This backfired. Pilate was forced to crucify Jesus down the road but I'll save that discussion for later.
Jennifer,
Jesus had nothing to do with the government or the religious leaders. The religious leaders are no different than government leaders. They make a public example of what they are doing to gain prestige, not because they care.
His way was for the individual to step forward, not the government. All that giving to people promoted to politicians is about them getting their position. They don't really care about you or me, just the big salary, the perks, the retirement, the speaking fees, the honor of people worshipping them, and the power of the office.
When did Jesus give a phone number to a government agency to get help for someone? I can't seem to find this an I've been through the entire Bible many times, and most of the books dozens of times.
When did the Apostles do that? When did Jesus command that government should raise taxes to give the money to other people?
When did Jesus say sell everything you have, give it to the poor and go work for the government?
Jesus said, give unto Ceasar, what is Ceasar's and to God what is God's.
Talk to the Hand ...
Coming from you, I honestly consider that a compliment. If you ever posted anything positive ... woops! You can't! You're part of the 47%!!!!!
Obama/Biden - where 100% of the country matters!!!!
Come on Barry subjects, you really don't believe these liberal polls do you. Your not that stupid are you?
Linda, Romney was talking about YOU! You lazy azz bible thumping gun holding government moocher. I want my taxes back NOW!
Linda
Seek professional help
Linda, the reason they where able to see this, is because they understood the evil of greed. people are not evil. they are god's children. Some people are evil and their names are Morgan, Rockefeller, DuPont, Bush, Rothschild etc. They want to de-populate the world. they turn brother against brother. they start wars and feed hate instead of children. there is an answer. it is the inherent goodness that god placed in mankind. We just have to bring it out in our brothers and sisters.
Looks like Obama's network is at it again. Just MSNBC all week has centered around Romney's perceived mistakes, now all of a sudden Obama supporters have great news, 5% lead. Lets see what was the last time MSNBC, NBC, didnt support and do exactly what Obama told them to do.
Rasmussen has Obama up in OH and FL. DOH! MSM Rasmussen? DOH!
Yeah, Richard.. Romney's "perceived" mistakes! For starters, that nasty 'ol liberal media had the nerve to report on Romney's factually incorrect statement on the Libya tragedy. Oh wait.. they covered it because HE SENT IT TO THEM! And gee, why would a news organization want to play a videotape of a major presidential candidate insulting half of the country's voters!
Face the facts.. you have a flawed candidate running a flawed campaign. And if you're President Obama, Mitt Romney is the gift that keeps on giving!
"Perceived Mistakes"?
"The overall impression of Romney at this event is of someone who overheard some conservative cocktail chatter and maybe read a conservative blog or two, and is thoughtlessly repeating back what he heard and read." - Rich Lowry, National Review
"Who are these freeloaders? Is it the Iraq war veteran who goes to the VA? Is it the student getting a loan to go to college? Is it the retiree on Social Security or Medicare? ... The people who receive the disproportionate share of government spending are not big-government lovers. They are Republicans. They are senior citizens. They are white men with high school degrees." - David Brooks, New York Times
"It remains important for the country that Romney wins in November (unless he chooses to step down and we get the Ryan-Rubio ticket we deserve). But that shouldn't blind us to the fact that Romney's comments...are stupid and arrogant." - Bill Kristol, The Weekly Standard
"I found the presser not horrible, which is about as much praise as I can muster right now." - Daniel Foster, National Review
“I disagree with Gov. Romney’s insinuation that 47 percent of Americans believe they are victims who must depend on the government for their care. ... I know that the vast majority of those who rely on government are not in that situation because they want to be.” - Linda McMahon, GOP Candidate for US Senate in Connecticut
"He said he has a terrific campaign. Actually he doesn't. He says that the campaign workers are working well together. Well, actually, no, they're not working well together. And that his campaign's going in the right direction. No, it's not. And this is not being said by liberals...these are conservatives. Savannah, I'm going to go put a bag over my head now, so I will talk to you soon." - Joe Scarborough, Host of Morning Joe and former GOP Congressman from Florida
If these are "perceived mistakes", I just gave you quotes from 6 Conservative Voices who perceived those mistakes with no trouble whatsoever...but, please, go on believing that there is no problem here.
You can't trust these far left lib polling companies like Rasmussen.
hehehe
I've seen very few republican polls this year. About 3/4's of the polls are by companies or sponsored by Democrat held entities. Their are a couple of bi-partisan polling groups like Purple strategies, and a few that are "independent" like Rasmussen, Gallup, and Survey USA.
HaHa. 32% strong-ish Democrats vs. 25% strong-ish Republicans and Obama can only get a 5 point lead. Great work NBC. (sarcasm)

Ed, being you brought up North Africa and the Mid East, your god (little g) Barry was busy flying to Las Vegas, then Letterman where he "fielded" tough hardball (o yeah) scripted questions from letterman, then he's going dancing with Beyonce while snubbing the Prime Minister of Israel which happens to be the "only" true ally we have in the middle east. Man what a great leader we have. He is the poorest excuse we have ever had for a president.
Yea while VoMitt was shooting his mouth off with inaccurate and stupid
Dear fellow liberals. Please stop duplicating the name calling of the right wing. we are better then that.
check how your muslim president spends his time, over 900 executive orders
* Executive Order 10990 allows the Government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.
* Executive Order 10995 allows the government to seize and control the communication media.
* Executive Order 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels, and minerals.
* Executive Order 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.
* Executive Order 11001 allows the government to take over all health education and welfare functions.
* Executive Order 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.
* Executive Order 11003 allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.
* Executive Order 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate and establish new locations for populations.
* Executive Order 11005 allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways, and public storage facilities.
* Executive Order 11049 assigns emergency preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued over a fifteen-year period.
* Executive Order 11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.
* Executive Order 11310 grants authority to the Department of Justice (NOTE: that's Fast and Furious Eric Holder!) to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute Industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.
* Executive Order 11921 allows the Federam Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit, and the flow of money in U.S. financial institutions in any undefined national emergency. It also provides that when the president declares a state of emergency.Congress cannot review the action for six months.
It is more than clear that Obama is planning for the total control and takeover of America via Martial Law. Food, energy, transportation, work, banking, and health: he has it covered.
While Obama is busy pulling executive orders out of the sky to control everything inside our country, he has been issuing executive orders to force us to submit to international regulations instead of our Constitution.
Not this again...don't you guys ever get tired of being wrong?

135 Executive Orders so far during this Presidency, not 900

LONDON | Fri Aug 17, 2012 8:22am EDT
LONDON (Reuters) - Twice as many business executives around the world say the global economy will prosper better if incumbent President Barack Obama wins the next election than if his Republican challenger Mitt Romney does, a poll showed on Friday.
No it did not state that at all. Vermont Girl, you have been mislead. There is no such "business executive" that was polled from "around the world". I hope your parents have leveled with you that Santa Claus is not real.
Actually if you Google it you'll find the article. It goes on to say "Democrat Obama was chosen by 42.7 percent in the 1,700 respondent poll, compared with 20.5 percent for Romney. The rest said "neither"." It's said that sometimes when a delusion is challenged the delusional person can get violent. Your post seems proof of that.
So I found out today quite by accident, that the Federal Reserve was a 100 year charter that started in 1913 and ends in 2013. So how come neither candidate has spoken about this? how come neither the left wing or right wing media has mentioned this? Whats the plan. does the gov. take back it's currency or does it let the bankers keep it????????????
The only thing dumber than a person who voted for Odummy the fist time is a person who votes for him a second time. Probably the only president to get re-elected with an approval rating under 45% with unemployment over 8%, gas doubling in price per gallon and a deficit 4 times larger trhan when he took office.
Just shows how HORRIBLY the GOP managed the country when they did have power. OH WE REMEMBER:)
I think I hear your goats calling you, they must be in heat.
I'd say anyone that voted for W once are about the dumbest stumps on the planet, second only to the idiots that voted for him twice...
The dumbest people without question are the simpletons who swallowed the MSNBC propaganda and actually thought Democrats had a chance in the 2010 midterms..... who then swallowed the "Walker recall" propaganda and thought Democrats had a chance.... who are now swallowing the same propaganda yet again despite the obviousness falseness of it.
32% strong-ish Democrats vs. 25% strong-ish Republicans and Obama can only get a 5 point lead. Great work NBC. (sarcasm)

your mama voted for President Obama secretly to keep her welfare check and food stamps.
She knows were her next meal is coming from.
We all see what Romney thinks of disabled American Vets, what he thinks about your grandmother who draws social security and medicare, what he thinks of the poor and unemployed, the disabled, and let us not forget all those public servants who fight fires, teach school and protect against crime.
This is also a reflection of what he thinks of the 62% red state residents that are also on the dole (as he so succinctly states).
Actually if you read the article and process all the information and facts, Romney never derides vets, seniors, the poor, unemployed, or disabled. He correctly states that there are people who take advantage of welfare, don't pay taxes, and thus will never respond to an economic discussion regarding tax reform. I am so sorry that you chose to ignore the facts and put your liberal beer goggles on, but sadly, this is what the electorate is and has been talking about for a long time. Thankfully someone finally told the truth.
As for red and blue states, they do change quite a bit you know. ie: Virginia, North Carolina, Nevada, Michigan, Ohio, Florida, Iowa, Indiana, Colorado...to name a few. Try reading, then do some fact checking before you run your ignorant liberal mouth.
foxnewser...You bumpkin need to go back a put Your listening Ears on and re view Mitt comment's again.
The GOP picked a Big loser with this empty suit and now cry about everything this joker steps in and is reported in the news. BTW buttercup we are still waiting for those Tax Returns. Or would that be the steak through the heart for you baggers?
PJAM ya we all see how u cut & paste..that your Only thought for the week?

They keep trying to advance the story line that it's over. My friends, we will see the country do the right thing in November, and send this idiot packing.
Yes, just make sure Romney doesn't take anything with him that he does not own, he will be sent packing, and you are also right about him being an idiot.
Hey Mitt, that bank account in the Cayman Islands? You didn't 'build' that!
George Romney released 12 years worth of tax returns to the American people when he ran for president.
Since then, presidential candidates -- Republicans and Democrats -- have followed his lead and released multiple tax records for public scrutiny.
All presidential candidates, except one.
Mitt Romney has only released one year of records after persistent pressure.
It raises the question: What does Mitt Romney have to hide?
HE IS HIDING HIS THIEVERY FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT'S WHAT!
Try taking the poll somewhere besides the NBC breakroom or Martha's vineyard.
Gallup did.... but real polls are for real journalists not MSNBC. No wonder Microsoft dumped them like a wet bag of dung.

And what is fox reporting? You realize that quiet a few of there "journalists" are employed by the Romney campaign?
Main stream media SUCKS! Slander & propaganda is all they can muster up! Report on the real issue of the Fed. Reserve, Big business, Bilderburg, Big banking RULING this country!!
If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks…will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered…. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. – Thomas Jefferson
I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men. -Woodrow Wilson
And we should believe anything MSNBC posts?
There's more cr@p flying this election than anytime in history....
You can't attack the message so attack the messenger. Not real bright.
The real truth of the matter is,as you and I know, that a financial
element in the large centers has owned the government ever since
the days of Andrew Jackson… -Franklin D. Roosevelt
my whole family is voting for Obama...except for my republican brother who isnt voting cuz he dislikes romney (wanted newt)... my son (and his friends) who actually campaigned hard for Ron Paul here in Colorado is voting for Obama because he was disgusted by the RNC
I would vote for Obama too if I was on food stamps.
well...since I dont know anyone on food stamps except some redneck republicans up the street..I cant speak for them
jennifer your whole family is delusional. I know Colorado is little California but lay off the medical marijuana and wake up. The rest of us want to actually have something left to live for in five years.
Gee Tom, I've been employed since I was 17, paid off my home last year, put 3 children through college and just paid cash for my new car.
I plan to help re-elect the President and there are MILLIONS AND MILLIONS JUST LIKE ME.
Vermont explains your plight. Your brain needs sunlight and warmth to function properly. Move VG. You'll love it in the light.
Vermont's ahead of the curve on Obamacare...gonna be a great place to live for a long time!

Jennifer,
thanks for the update from CO and your family's voting decisions.
Here in MN , Obama is ahead by 10 points. And even Bachmann is only 4points ahead of her opponent, J. Graves an unknown business man. It is within the margin of error.
Only terrorists and idiots will be voting for Obama.

NorthstarDFL
That was classic!!! Just smiling here .... :)
northstar...even some Mormons are trying to distance themselves from Mitt. He won't show his tax returns Because he Did Not Pay his Full tithing...thats the word on the street in SLC
praysalot,
That is an interesting take about his not producing his tax returns.
I would also think a bishop in the the church should lead by example abouut tithing.
Layton,
I am smiling too. :))
We have 3 debates and a lot can happen so don't you libtards pat yourselves on the back just yet.
A five year old could debate Romney and make him sound like an idiot.
You sure love to call people names because you have nothing of real substance to say. You obviously will be voting against your own best interests and don't even know it. (Unless you are the 1%) Do some real research for once instead of listening to the hatemongers and prejudice people of this world. They are a dying breed!
President Obama is appreciated for his integrity, care and concern for the poor and middle class and relentless drive to make this U.S. a better place for ALL people, not just a few. And he managed to do it with complete obstruction by the Republicans this last two years.
Obama is destroying the middle class. America has the highest level of poverty in over 40 years. Who do you think is becoming impoverished?
My neighbors are saying the reason we are seeing the President in so many anti-Romney ads is because the President is behind in the real polls. My neighbors are also mad that the President didn't beef up security in Libya and the ambassador died because he was not attending his briefings but out campaigning. that part most people have seen on the news. Its really sad.
The president is up in the polls and will win the overall national vote. However, the TeaGOP has public and private campaigns. We heard a bit of their private beliefs from Mittens sales routine. The GOPers never trusted mittens, and they had a point. Lucky for them the back up plan is still going strong: the one that suppresses the vote in the largest democratic strong holds. The GOP hates Mittens, but as long as he's not Obama, he'll do!
southernMays,
Your ABO will only get you so far. When those people go into the voting booth , they might just vote for Gary Johnson or another third party candidate. It only takes about 5-8 % of those votes to sink Romney in many battleground states.
Romney"s ABO base is not a sure thing.
Just remember Florida and the percentage that voted for Ralph Nader. It was the difference for Gore losing, and sent it to the SCOTUS.
Romney is no angel, but neither is Obama. Obama has demonstrated that fact over the past 4 years. We need to try someone else over the next 4 years to demonstrate more effective leadership for our country, or we will drown!! And if that new individual demonstrates that he is ineffective, we need to boot him out in 4 years, and start all over again!
Romney is no angel, but neither is Obama.
^ Obama's no fool. But Romney is. Put a fork in him, he's done.
What we really need is to give Obama a real congress with goals other than defeating Obama and a higher approval rating than 10%.
Ptricko: Agreed! :0)
bull dog...what fact are you talking about???Got Any facts to back up what u think Obama did to
weaken this country...no..I did not think so.
blah blah blah blah blah!!
@ScommaG,
Obama and Romney stand for the same things. They are two sides of the SAME coin, with the same masters flipping it.
They both believe in big government and they both have a track record of being big spenders while in office.
Neither candidate supports immediately balancing the federal budget
They both support the Western backed terrorists in Syria against the elected President Assad.
Both of them support attacking Iran.
Both support big pharma.
Both support the FDA which banned natural cures in favor of the pharmaceutical companies that profit from our illnesses.
Both candidates plan to continue running up more government debt even though the U.S. government is already 16 Trillion dollars in debt.
Both candidates believe that the president has the power to take the country to war without getting the approval of the US Congress.
Both want to persecute people who need medical cannabis and who use it legally according to state laws.
They both have a horrible record when it comes to job creation.
Like Obama, Romney also plans to add "signing statements" (think NDAA) to bills when he signs them into law.
Both candidates have been pro-abortion most of their careers.
Both candidates "flip flop" on political agendas.
Both candidates have a history of nominating extremely liberal judges.
They both believe that a "two state solution" will bring lasting peace between the Palestinians and Israel.
Both candidates have a very long record of supporting strict gun control measures.
Mitt Romney has said that he will support a "cap and trade" carbon tax scheme (like the one Barack Obama wants) as long as long as the entire globe goes along with it (already saying he does not support the USA - just like Obama).
Neither candidate has any military experience. This is the first time that this has happened in a U.S. election since 1944.
Both candidates are extremely soft on illegal immigration.
They both accuse each other of shipping jobs out of the country and both of them are right.
They both support the job-killing "free trade" agenda.

I have been voting for years not once have i been contacted to do a poll, this is total BS
they make these up nbc/cnn/msnbc democrat fox republican so 3 for dems and 1 for rep
you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out
Exactly. lets not give any politicain more than 1 term
I can agree, President: 1 term eight years long, Senate: 1 term 4 years long, House: 1 term 4 years long...save the taxpayers the re election headache.
By all means, please continue living in this Democrat dream world and grow complacent.
Exactly. Spot on. Maybe not this week but certainly next, Obama's Waterloo is coming. Just wait. It's going to be fun to watch the libs squirm and divert.
Please do your homework and go to whitehouse.gov. Spend some time looking at the issues and find out the many, many things Obama has done for this country, before you criticize. Just for starters: 1) Osama Bin Laden is gone forever! 2) Pulled out all Iraqi troops, and winding down Afghanistan 3) Saved the U.S. Auto Industry 4) Took student loans away from banks and lowered interest rates 5) Gave over 18 tax cuts to small business 6) Tax cuts to the middle class 7) Got rid of 'don't ask, don't tell' 8) Healthcare for all, regardless of age, condition or ability to pay 9) Slow, but steady job increase 10) Prevented a major depression in this country (TARP funds all paid back) The list goes on and on. You want Romney? Social Security to be privatized? Medicare to no longer be guaranteed to grandma and disabled Veterans? No more tax cuts to the ultra rich forever?
zard1959: And now we have 1000's of "wanna be" bin ladens waiting in the wings to take over for him. Watch the news. Unless there are changes to medicare, it won't be around for your grandma or you. Baby boomers will use it up real quick.
zard -
And what about the ambassador that was killed in Libya? Was this 'poll' taken before or after 9/11/2012? We already know it was slanted 60% democrat in its sampling and questions.
I wonder what it's going to be now that Obama's failure in foreign affairs is being compared to Carter'd failures due to the Iran hostage crisis?
One would think a 5 point lead for a sitting incumbent is not so good. Keep an eye on the following states, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia as these states are vital for both candidates. While Bush in 2004 had similar #'s he had more impressive leads in the states mentioned with exception of Ohio. Romney could win without winning Ohio and for the 1st time for a GOP candidate winning the White House in a # of years due to Ryan's popularity around his home state. This election polling has had its up s and down for ROmeny though he has never really got over the hump he is still within striking distance of the sitting incumbent for an upset ala Ronad Reagan in 1980. I dont think a sitting president with these kind of employment #'s has been re elected and with the economy in a slump that is only going to get worse. Folks will be shocked and awe by the cost of health insurance thuse unable to get that new car, go out to eat as often and forced to cut back on holiday shopping. I'm calling for Obama to win 51 to 46 with a few points going to a Ron Paul write in campaign with a low turnout.Romney will be the lucky one as the slumping economy will force Obama's #'s down and to have an even weaker 2nd term. Jindal,Christie,Ryan and West will be the winners as long as they stick to their guns but eaiser said then done for any GOP or Dem as the wallets get fatter from the special interest groups and we lose out in the end more and more each year.
LightRay9a ....
That's the problem with all of the WRNJs .... Democrats NEVER grow complacent and are actually known as the PROGRESSIVE party. Look it up, the word has more than one syllable ...
Obama/Biden - they care about 100% of this country!
Whats the Democrat plan to pay off the national Debt?
How about saving Medicare since it runs out of money by 2024?
How do you feel about the Fed holding 66% of the countries Debt?
How will Democrats deal with the increase in food prices and gasoline.
How will the Democrats provide more jobs in the private sector without increasing the national debt?
Please provide the links....
LightRay - It's going to be funny isn't it? Watching all the liberals stumbling into the welfare office crying after election day, wondering "what went wrong" because the MSNBC spew actually made them think they had a chance.
Like the 2010 midterms and Walker recall all over again. If only they had the ability to learn.
Aunt Anna and pjam ... let me tell you what the plan is to cut the national Debt ... we want to END YOUR DAMN WARS! Got that????? We are pulling out of Afghanistan and while you sit on your fat butts and smirk, your candidate is proposing yet another war.
STFU already!!! Go glom onto your LOSER and swoon at his no-plan feet. You both must be part of the 47%!
GOP complains REALITY has a LIBERAL BIAS.
Just be part of the Change in November because Americans don't want to go FORWARD.........Off A Cliff. We don't need another 4 years of record high unemployment and letting Ambassadors get killed because security briefings were missed. Americans are fed up with this incompetent that is in office and doesn't have a clue how to fix the economy.
