Subscribe to RSSElection Day may be Nov. 6th, but with President Obama grabbing a lead nationally and in key swing states, Americans are already starting to vote.
Idaho, South Dakota, and the crucial swing state of Virginia are the first states to begin early, in-person voting today.
Also today, absentee voting begins in Minnesota, West Virginia, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Georgia, Arkansas, Idaho, and Maryland, bringing the total number of states already accepting ballots to 13. Twelve others -- South Carolina, New Jersey, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Delaware, Louisiana, and Missouri -- will begin absentee or early voting Saturday.
That means, by tomorrow, half the country will be casting votes. By the end of the month, voters in 30 states will be voting already.
More than one-in-three voters – more than 46 million people -- is expected to vote early in 2012 in some form, either in person, by mail, or absentee, according to Dr. Michael McDonald, a professor at George Mason University who studies voter behavior.
“Once you turn up the faucet on early voting, you keep turning it up until it’s all the way open,” said McDonald, who predicts that 35 percent will vote early this year.
Early voting participation has been on the rise in recent election cycles, hitting an all-time high in 2008, when an estimated 30 percent voted early in the presidential election. That was up significantly from 2004, when slightly more than 20 percent cast their ballots ahead of Election Day.
Early voting can, and often does, mean different things in different states.
In 32 states and Washington, D.C., voters can cast their ballots early, in person without any excuse or reason, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
In 21 states, like Virginia, voters can vote absentee, but an excuse is required. Some of the acceptable excuses listed on the Virginia absentee ballot application include commuting for 11 or more hours between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Election Day, being away from home due to personal or business travel, or being a student.
States like Connecticut and New Hampshire do not have early, in-person voting, but do allow voters to return their absentee ballots in person to election officials.
Oregon and Washington State are exclusively vote-by-mail. In 2008, 100 percent of Oregon voters voted by mail or dropped their ballots in boxes at designated locations on Election Day. Washington has been adopting vote-by-mail, county-by-county since 1994, but, in 2011, it went completely by mail.
Colorado has also been moving to vote-by-mail, and, in 2008, four-in-five Coloradans voted that way.
Controversial changes in Florida and Ohio
Early voting laws in several states have also changed in the past four years – and not without controversy, particularly in Florida and Ohio.
In Florida, a state where half of its voters voted early in 2008, the number of days for early, in-person voting has been reduced from 14 to eight (HB 1355) – and voting on the Sunday before the election was eliminated.
Republicans control the governorship and the state legislature, and Democrats have cried foul, especially about the elimination of the Sunday voting. Black churches in particular have made it a point of mobilizing on that day in what’s known as “Souls to the Polls.”
Five of Florida’s 67 counties fall under a national voter-rights law that mandates approval of any changes to election laws by the Department of Justice because of a history of racial discrimination.
The Justice Department approved the measure on the condition that the state keep the early, in-person polling centers in those counties open 12 hours each day, which is the maximum allowed by the state’s constitution.
In July, the Obama campaign filed a lawsuit against Ohio Secretary of State John Husted regarding changes in the state’s early, in-person voting policies.
Legislation, passed in 2011 (HB 194) by a GOP-controlled legislature and signed by a Republican governor, shortened the early, in-person voting period from beginning 35 days before the election to starting 21 days prior.
The legislation also included a provision ending early, in-person voting three days prior to the election for everyone except members of the military. Pressure from local voter’s rights coalitions prompted the legislature to repeal parts of its new voting laws. Senate Bill 295 was passed to repeal specific parts of HB 194, but left intact the provision ending early in-person voting three days prior to the start of the election for everyone except members of the military.
The Obama campaign argued this new law was unfair and violated the equal-protection clause of the constitution. A federal court agreed and ordered the state to restore the three days of early, in-person voting for all voters.
In 2008, Democrats dominated early voting. This time around, McDonald said, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's campaign and Republicans are making a concerted effort to mobilize early voters as well.
“2012 is not going to be 2008,” McDonald said, “so we should expect to see more parity among partisan profiles of early voters.”

Economically this country is going down, the present administration has shown that they can't handle the job, and things will get much worse if there is not a change in leadership. There are serious moral issues involved, also, that citizens must consider.
the reason things haven't gotten done is because of the congress, to be exact the house.
So Nancy Pelosi's house was responsible for the president not presenting a bill for a viable overhaul of the immigration laws?
And the Pelosi house is why the senate hasn't passed a budget in over 3 years?
And the Pelosi house was responsible for the dozens of other things that Obama promised and failed to do when he had a Democratic majorities in the house and senate the first two years of his presidency.
And it was the Pelosi house that was to blame when he even had a filibuster proof majority during the first year of his presidency and still did not push through any of the major issues that Americans really wanted?
And it was the Pelosi house that mistreated poor Harry Reid so badly that he refused to act on ANY of the bills that came from the house after Pelosi lost control in 2010?
Just trying to understand where the blame really lies for the past 4 years of mismangement in the Executive and Legislative branches of the government.
Bob W. - Lets be perfectly clear, the republicans that controlled congress are 100% responsible for nothing getting done. They haven't passed one bill worthy of consideration. They haven't passed one single bill to create jobs (despite there claims, which are BS, but another story). They ran on jobs, when they said "where's the jobs" they knew where they were, not going to be created by them.
They have been a total failure...and they will lose big time come 2012...American's are tired of this, and they will pay in a big way..
Now you can put your head in the sand all you want be it will not change what's going to happen in the next 46 days. Get ready to take a huge beating.
President Harry Truman, 1948:
“The Republicans … will try to make people believe that everything
the Government has done for the country is socialism. They will go to the people
and say: "Did you see that social security check you received the other day—you
thought that was good for you, didn't you? That's just too bad! That's nothing
in the world but socialism. Did you see that new flood control dam the
Government is building over there for the protection of your property?
Sorry—that's awful socialism! That new hospital that they are building is
socialism. Price supports, more socialism for the farmers! Minimum wage laws?
Socialism for labor! Socialism is bad for you, my friend. Everybody knows that.
And here you are, with your new car, and your home, and better opportunities for
the kids, and a television set—you are just surrounded by socialism! Now the
Republicans say, ‘That's a terrible thing, my friend, and the only way out of
this sinkhole of socialism is to vote for the Republican ticket.
’" And! And!! AND!!! THAT was 64 Years Ago. The Republican Crime Cartel was up to their same filthy old tricks to exploit America and Her people as they do now. A vote for Romney, Iran war monger, is a vote against your and your family's Well Being.
If half the country starts voting tomorrow, would the networks like to make an early prediction of the winner, say by Sunday? I thought voters needed a photo ID to vote in many states. How are they going to do this by mail?
I hope Obama wins this way when he destroys the economy i can watch all those idiots that voted for him suffer....i can laff and laff and laff and laff and laff and laff and laff and laff and laff for ever...AND will take a piss on you every chance i get to make it worse...if your out on a corner panhandling i throw trash at you, maybe a brick.
So I take it that your independently wealthy? Probably why you would vote for Mitt, right?
The Q - So, have you been pissing on all the republicans these last 4 years since they "real did" crash the economy? Been pissing on yourself.....since you are a big part of the problem...
Listening to these Republicans, one would think that on January 19, 2009 the country was in great shape with a massive surplus, record low unemployment, a booming economy, increasing wages -- everything was just outstanding. Then -- Obama took office on Jan 20, 2009 and everything immediately came crashing down.
Now -- how about a reality check? The nation was much closer to that ideal on January 19, 2001 when Clinton left office but on January 19, 2009 when Bush left office, we were on the verge of a depression.
TruthSeeker: you spout the words of others; that makes you a puppet. Much like the republican candidate. I'm sorry. American citizens have always treasured their individuality and the right to speak their minds, clearly and freely. I may not agree with Mr. Eastwood on everything, but I do agree that "...we own this country..." and when the hate mongers are no more, we will truly be a free country. The republican candiate has changed his words depending upon the crowd he was speaking to and what he thought they wanted to hear. That's a puppet, and you should not want a puppet in that big chair. There are too many generals on that hill, to many hawks, to many that make their livelyhood from war. This country can not afford more war. We can not afford to lose more of our future, our young to wars without end.
People of America
VOTE against racism, prejudice, segregation, and racial injustice.
Ironiclly the republican party ideogoly are racists just like the white supremus wade Michael Page in the statements( we need to take back" our country") and especially( we need to get back to" the old American ways") are truly the most racists, scariest and insensitive comments I ever heard made openly by a political party today. These statements truly show racism, prejudice, segregation,and racial injustice towards all non-white Americans and the intentions of these statements should be addressed by the public and media before these racists white republicans take America back to a very horrible dark period in time. The black republicans should be in an outrage over these racists statements or maybe like Mr.Herman Cain, they never experienced racism either. Because the only thing that was missing when these racists white republicans made these racists statements were their white hooded robes with crosses burning in the background, a rope with Mr.Herman Cain's neck in the loop showing his support for the racists cause for which those statements were made.
When will this racists ass country ever learn"why" can't all people just get along this was also inferred in a speech by a soul who did more then just preached and teached as he marched in the streets knowing soon his death he would meet by the hands of those that control the nature of the best. The Honorable Dr.Martin Luther King Jr., had this vision in a dream that one day true peace would sweep our nations streets and "no longer" would race be the base for which (a man or woman) could not participate. And President Obama's presidency mark's the beginning of that very same dream and his mission is totally supreme to the true American liberators who were all (black and white), who burned and hanged, marched and died in order to stop " white supremacy" and "racial political pride."
Now what happen in the past we cannot change, but we can make damn sure the future don't repeat the same, by honoring our rights to vote for a real political change, so those true American liberators deaths won't be in vain. And a vote for President Obama means making a real political change, because President Obama wants all hard working Americans to have properity and gain that's not based on how much money you got or the race you claim.
So Mr.Mitt Romney, The Republican Party, and all racists white Americans, quit playing your vicious racists deceitful games, slanging mud, popin charlie, while making racial claims and keeping the whole world under a economical strain. Then denying every proposal the president tries to obtain while making your ridiculous racists claims about the economy and the job potential it has yet to sustain. When knowing all along in your racists political heart's that from the very start your missions have been to tear the president's administration all apart.
People of America
Truly this is a very serious matter and so is the up coming election, because when people who think like that are in office, it's very dangerous to the development and growth of all walk's of life in America as well as the rest of the world. (VOTE AGAINST RACISM) ( VOTE FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA THE ONE WHO WANT'S PEOPLE OF ALL WALK'S OF LIFE TO HAVE PROPERITY AND GAIN DESPITE THE RACE THEY CLAIM OR THE MONEY THEY HAVE OBTAINED ).
Are you sure you want to vote for Romney. Think hard and watch this before you make the biggest mistake for this country. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCO3kIZLQqg&feature=related Vote Obama/Biden for a strong middle class, to protect our vets and seniors and against the obstuctionist that have damaged our country and stood in the way of recovery.
Remember, in the words of Mayor Daley Sr, it is important to "Vote early and Vote often!"
And make sure you vote for those that are no longer capable or disinterested. There are thousands of inactive voters out there that are incapable of voting for themselves due to no fault of their own. Perhaps because they are undocumented or deceased.
You know who they are, if you don't, request a copy of the voter registration records from your local county clerk, then check the obituary pages and make sure you complete a ballot for as many of these unfortunate "disenfranchised" individuals possible.
It's important that we not let these individuals down! Their vote is critical to ensuring that we move "FORWARD" with our agenda!
We need MILLIONS of extra votes, especially in swing states. Remember that while one vote is good, 5 votes are better. Even if you just get an absentee ballot, then vote in person you will have helped do your part to take part in a PROGRESSIVE action to make sure that our side is victorious
in the struggle against the capitalist war mongering industrial complex and that the proletariat shall rise again.Remember, there is no such thing as voter fraud unless we lose!
And there is no such thing as voter intimidation as long as your standing outside the the polling place with clubs.
Voter intimidation only exists when someone ask you for a picture ID at the polling place. If that happens call your local FBI office and A.G. Holder will have someone right over to investigate such an outrageous act. Well, as long as your not one of 'those' people who mistakenly votes for the wrong sort of person, if you are, then your on your own...
Wake up, you are so cool calling him HUSSEIN. What point exactly are you trying to make there? Wow...how eloquent of you...lol. And Bob, aren't you so clever and cute there...lol. Interesting you seem to know all those tricks. Everyone I know just goes to the polls and votes once. But you both are incredibly entertaining.
is this the half that romney said he doesnt care about?
I think we all should make sure the Florida democrats should get the ballots early so the DUMBA$$ES can figure out how they work. I figure 99% of the Obama supporters on here are afraid if Romney gets elected they will lose all their welfare, food stamps, and section 8 housing along with getting off their lazy A$$ES and actually working fo a living. Socialism if Odumba gets re-elected and unemployment up to 13-14%, along with the value of the $ at about $.25
PIGOTRY's name says it all, maybe you should change it to GLUTTONY like all the socialistic democrats.
Lynnial - You know you need to find something useful to do with your life because the trash you are writing is a waste of everyone's time.
I think we know your job, Lynnial. Paid troll...or maybe you just like to make stuff up.
Captain Obamas ship is sinking and 40 plus percent are willing to go down with the captain and vote for him so please be far enough offshore you can not swim back so the rest of us do not have to continue to carry your load anymore.
One and Done worse president ever
Jeff - Have you been reading or watching any of the news, both right leaning and left. I don't think they have been talking about how bad Obama's campaign's been going, but Romneys. Republicans jumping off his ship faster than the mice.
Jeff, just what do you do for a living, I'd just like to know how you are carrying my load.. My guess is you can barely take care of yourself...let alone anyone else...
Which states have the largest populations on federal assistance, yea RED ones. You guys are so full of crap....
Wake up - Dumb and Dumber I see... BTW don't say anything intelligent, it would wreck a perfect week of saying nothing useful.
Jeff: here's a tissue for you.....
God bless President Barack Hussein Obama for a job well done.
Four more years!
Don: correct. Blue states support red states with their tax dollars. This is fact. Just remind them whenever they bitch about 'freeloading' Democrats, et al.
Personally, I am getting tired of sending my tax dollars to help support some pro-Republican hick state that cannot stand on its own two feet, know it?
Obama/Biden 2012
Jersey Shore: most people in red states on welfare are Democrats...for example in the South in 9 of 13 states, the majority of people on welfare are black. Blacks vote 90% Demoncat.
Even in other areas of the country, in red states, most people on handouts are non-white...like S. Dakota. The majority of people on handouts are Indian, voting majority Demoncat although not as much as blacks do.
In Texas, blacks and Hispanics overwhelmingly make up the majority of people on handouts, though Hispanics are only 2/3 Demoncat.
http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/ofa/character/fy2009/tab08.htm
Guess that's why my white neighbors on various kinds of assistance vote Republican. They have no clue the GOP couldn't care less about them. My "non-white" neighbors here in this red state work and take care of their homes/families for the most part. I know several whites with little education and they are seriously Republican. The people who are Democrats tend to be professors, engineers, and other professionals in my area. The other group of Republicans consists of older whites who don't want that "boy" in the White House. That is what I see in this red state in my area and others I have visited.
All you teatards, birthers, flat earthers, religious fanatics, mindless dittoheads, evolution deniers, Fox noise cultist, conspiracy theorist, gun crazies and all around 15th century Republicans --- you better get used to President Obama because he's not leaving office until January 2017. Mitt Romney is one of the most worthless candidates in the history of this nation with no ideas to fix anything other than the failed policies of the past. Talking about In God We Trust on money, birth control, birth certificates, teleprompters, college transcripts and wars on religion while writing off 45% of the population and yelling socialist and Marxist over and over doesn’t attract many voters. And if you don’t come up with some new ideas and find an entirely new group of leaders, we just may have another President Clinton in 2017.
To anyone with even a tiny bit of sense: Romney/Ryan 2012
I was in accounting. I agree.
Mrs. Ray
Save America!!! Defeat Communist Obama and all the GOD-less Demon-crats in November!!!
Romney / Ryan Landslide and TEA Party Patriots WIN in November!!!
Dear God. Vote the incumbent out!
Dear God, Voters!
Ask yourself one question at the polling booth: Where did all the money go?
Where did all the stimulous money go? Did it help you? Is the US better off? Did the stimulous money go to Obama's friends? Did his friends repay his kindness?
I am a Libertarian. I say VOTE THE INCUMBENT OUT.
My IRA and 401k are up over 200% since Mr Obama took office. The president has my vote!
Ray - Since 1/3 of the stimulus was tax cuts, what did you do with your portion? If you can't remember what you did with it, how do you expect us to....
The other 1/3 went to pay for unemployment benefits and to help out the states meet payroll since they lost all the state revenue from those people working. BTW,,,,,who managed to wreck the economy, wasn't it 8 years of GOP rule.... You know, none of this would have been needed if they hadn't totally screwed the economy....
And the last 1/3 went for construction projects....and yes, they have to hire people to work on roads and bridges.....next time you pass one of those signs that say funded by stimulus along the road stop nd ask those workers if they were helped. And then the next time you drive that on that road, ask if you benefitted from the road being fixed...
Ray, you are not impressing me a whole lot.
Ray, some accountant. You can't even remember what you did with your portion of the stimulus money. You'd think someone that worked with money all day would know when the check had more take home pay on it, and what they did with it....
Ray, come on, 1/3 of the Stimulus was tax cuts that were directly into peoples paychecks....and you're now telling me you dont know what you did with it....
Facts Republicans Hate:
Job losses per month in January 2008: 800,000
Job gains last month: 97,000
30 straight months of private sector job growth
GDP growth in 2008: negative 6%
GDP growth last year 2.9%
Dow Jones Average in January 2008: Under 8000
Dow Jones Average today: 13,400+
Record domestic oil production
GM – all time record profits
Near record corporate profits across the board
Osama Bin Laden --- dead
Iraq war --- over
If by some miracle Romney dazzles everyone during the debates it might already be too late for him to win. Most states are reporting heavy early absentee and in person voting.
Sharky: The USS Romney sank this week....taking on water, no chance of saving her, and they were too stupid to have life vests...
Taking down the entire party now....lost any chance at taking the Senate, and will lose the house as well. You almost think Romney was a plant, no one could run this poor a campaign.
Anxious to vote for Romney, no doubt.
They wanted to do it while the latest Obama failures and lies were fresh on their minds.
I find myself laughing at the mature and insightful comments I see on here.
The voting begins!
If you're an Obamanoid you're biting your nails to the quick worried if your Big o'Messiah is going to be re-elected.
Well, it's not going to happen unless about 1/4 of you vote 2 or 3 times. And we all know that's illegal.
If one follows polling (which all of you do) then we know that they don't favor Obama. He's the incumbent and the polls show a virtual tie. Not good for Obama.
Especially given the administration has made a habit of lying openly to the American people lately. Real Americans hate being treated as if they were stupid drones.
Time to finally ditch that disgusting Kenyan dog-eater and elect a REAL President. The empty chair needs to go into the trash heap.
No, actually it's time to show the semi-literate trailer trash that posts their ignorant, hateful opinions on this site who the American people are going to choose in November. Hint: it's not going to be the rich, arrogant idiot and his lying sidekick.
Read 'em and weep:

Obama wins in a walk. Republicans are bailing out in droves. Mitt Romney is a metastasizing disaster for the party and cannot be rehabilitated. GOP Senate candidates disavowing his "47%" comment. Romney losing ground in key battleground states. And so on.....
Put the stake through the GOP, Democrats. Put them out of their misery and help move the country forward in a positive direction.
Obama/Biden 2012. When you have the best, why change course?
"Obama wins in a walk" Doubtful, Henry. Until the other polls improve...I'm sticking with the line that I trust the AP, Gallup and Rasmussen surveys that show the race tied or within 1%.
Given the fact that Romney isn't in the lead in a single poll, I think it's fair to say you are full of sh*t, Chesty. You are welcome to your insane opinions because it will be that much more fun to see you cry the morning after President Obama is reelected.

We must hope that the Justice Dept and the FBI realizes the potential for massive voter fraud with ballots in early voting. We must also hope the Justice Department and FBI knows how easily manipulated voting machines are. If the Republicans have no conscience about voter disenfranchisement, they will have no conscience over ballot fraud. Are you listing WHite House?
We must hope that the Justice Dept and the FBI realizes the potential for massive voter fraud with ballots in early voting.
There is no voter fraud. It is a story concocted by the GOP to frightened its feeble-minded followers:
http://www.truthaboutfraud.org/pdf/TruthAboutVoterFraud.pdf
http://www.truthaboutfraud.org/
In our somewhat Crooked Voting system, many ballots will be cast through the mail for many registered voters over the next few weeks...are they actually sent by the person they are meant for---no one knows.
Wow! It's just amazing at age 98, with Alzheimers, and bed-ridden, how conscientious a voter Mr. Robertson is! What's surprising though, is how his voting patterns suddenly changed after his out of state family hired that nurse to watch over him! And, he's voting even more often than before...I guess sometimes people just "see the light" later in life, once Alzheimers clears up the cobwebs. And we know (Democrats assure us) that's there's no voter fraud involved. After all, a ballot was mailed to Mr. Robertson, and a ballot came back, with a signature that no one will check. So clearly, he voted.
I Feel it in the Air (hands testing the wind currents)...the polls will shift against Obama next week.
Look into the future...deep...deep...yes I can see it now...a national poll next week that will show Romney ahead...and it's not even Rasmussen.

The USA is in Economic Recession. Even the Europe is in Economic Recession. But still Indians from India are going in Huge Numbers to the USA and Europe and the Indians are even Getting Jobs in Recession Hit USA and Europe. Why? When the Unemployment rate is high in the USA and Europe and the Americans and Europeans are not getting Jobs in their Own Countries How Come Indians from India are getting Jobs in these countries in Huge Numbers? This is due to telling of Lies and Playing Politics by the Indians. In addition to signing Trade Agreements the Indians Insist on Signing even Services Agreements whereby Indians will get to go to these countries with the Ultimate Aim of Settling down in these foreign countries. And the Indians are signing these Services Agreement with all the Countries of the World in the form of Bilateral treaties. But it is the majority community of India that are going in foreign countries. The Indian Plans are to make Indian Human Lobbies in every Foreign Countries. Such Lies and Politics are being played by the Indians which includes the majority community alongwith the other minority communities. In India according to the caste system the Majority of the Majority community alongwith some minority communities are also Low and not that High which is what they are claiming in foreign countries. Each Community is lying for the other both in India and in the Foreign Countries. ie. Indians from India are United in the foreign countries. ie. All the communities are Complementing the other in Lying for each other. For eg: The Goan Christians will lie for the Goan Hindus and Vice-versa. Then the Goan christians will lie for the Gujaratis Hindus and vice-versa. Then the Goan Christians will lie for the Tamilians Hindus and Vice-versa. Then the Goan Christians will lie for the Bengali Hindus and Vice-versa. Then the Tamilian Hindus will lie for the Gujaratis hindus and vice-versa. Then the Bengalis hindus will lie for the Oriya Hindus and vice-versa. Then the tamilian hindus will lie for the Telegu hindus and vice-versa. Then the Kannada Hindus will lie for the tamilian hindus and vice-versa. Then the Kannada hindus will lie for the Gujaratis hindus and vice-versa. In this way each community lies for the other and vice-versa and they ALL Complement each other. There is the NEW GAME of the Indians. The Indians from India want to Make Themselves High In STATUS, CLASS, STATURE Just Like the Americans and Europeans. And for this Indians are Changing their Surnames and Names to Make Themselves High so that When they Go to Other Countries of the World they can Tell Lies that They are High. Actually the Majority of the Indians are Low and to Make themselves High in Foreign Countries the Indians will tell a lot of lies. Also for this the Indians from India will tell a lot of lies and Play Politics in the USA and European countries to GET ALL THE HIGH JOBS AND TOP POSITIONS IN THE USA AND EUROPEAN COMPANIES AND MULTINATIONALS AND THE USA AND EUROPEAN GOVERNMENT COMPANIES So as to Make themselves High in Status, Stature and Class just like the Americans and the Europeans. And the Indians from India are also contemplating Marrying Americans and Europeans and thus making themselves High in the Eyes of the Europeans and Americans. And the Indians are going in Huge Numbers to the USA and Europe to tell more lies and make themselves High in the EYES OF THE AMERICANS and EUROPEANS. Check out the Facts. The EXCUSE The Clever Indians give to GO Across the World in Huge Numbers and are Still Going is the huge population. for eg. why is the population of India not contolled and increasing at a faster pace. Thus create mini indian villages and Indian Human Lobbies in Foreign Countries ALL OVER THE WORLD ESPECIALLY IN THE USA AND EUROPE. Also Many companies from India were taking over large companines over the world like Arcelor,Jaguar & land Rover, Corus,Teltly, Novelis, Algoma,telecom companies in Africa, Betapharm, RE Power, Hancock assets and so forth and Many Many other medium and small sized companies BUT INDIAN COMPANIES ARE NOT SETTING UP GREENFIELD COMPANIES AND CREATING JOBS IN THE USA AND EUROPE BUT ARE TAKING OVER EXISTING COMPANIES. The Politics played by the Indians and some Government Officials in the TAKEOVER Of ARCELOR of EUROPE is WELL KNOWN. eg. Leceistersire in England will be the largest Indian City outside India in a Few years. Similarly New Jersey in the USA will be the largest Indian state outside India where there are a large concentration of Indians. Also Durban in South Africa has a large Concentration of Indians and will be the city to watch out next. Indians are also eating of the foreign companies. eg. Russian company Sistema's loss, Norwegian company Telenor's loss, now a would be tax on Vodafone, Huge loss to Fiat Motors in India, and now a would be loss to Ford and General Motors in India if they dont export their products because Indians are not buying Ford, General Motors and Fiat Products. This are just the Huge Losses caused. Besides the Losses caused to Venture Capital funds and the losses in the Stock Markets for the FII's, etc. INDIANS FROM INDIA ARE ALSO TAKING And EATING THE JOBS, HOUSES, HIGHER EDUCATION, BUSINESS, etc. OF THE PROTESTANTS AND CATHOLICS IN THE USA AND EUROPE BY GOING TO USA AND EUROPE IN HUGE NUMBERS INSPITE OF RECESSION BEING THERE AND MORE AND MORE JOBS ARE BEING OUTSOURCED TO INDIA. for eg: Indians have a MONOPOLY of Ownership of MOTELS in the USA. Now the Indians are Eyeing to Make a MONOPOLY on Shops, Grocery Stores, Mom & Pop stores and other Shops in the USA and for this the Indians from India will buyout all the Shops, Grocery Stores and Mom & Pop stores and other Shops and thus the MONOPOLY of Ownership of these Shops will be in the Hands of Indians from India. There are many many more such cases and the list goes on and on. Now the Lying game is going on More and More. Everyone is lying once again and commenting lies. Indians are lying to the Protestants about the Catholics and taking everything in the USA and Europe and then Indians are lying to the Catholics about the the Protestants and taking everything in Europe and the USA. The Chinese and the Japanese and the Koreans are in numbers in the USA but they only work in the USA and do not take Powers or Top positions BUT, the Indians from India are going in Huge Numbers in the USA and EUROPE and are working and also taking Political Powers and top Positions and Once the Indians from India get Power and Top Positions THEY Make Decisions in Favour of Indians and India. And there are many Games and Plans of India for the World especially the USA and Europe to Make Indian Human Lobbies All Over the World. In Europe the Europeans must have Power and Top Positions and that Includes all the Protestants and Catholics. And in the USA the Americans must have power and Top Positions and that includes the Protestant and Catholic Americans, the Black Americans, the White Americans and the Hispanic Americans. GOD Bless the Americans and the Europeans. GOD BLESS THE USA AND EUROPE.

What planet are you living in???
Keep listening to Faux News & drinking the Kool-aide, lucky... Rumnuts never worked for his money, he was BORN rich, and used his wealth to find creative ways to BAIN companies, raid their pension funds, and then discard their carcass, all at the expense of their employees. He's nothing but a vulture. If Romnuts loves his country so much, why does he hide his money in the Caymans? By his own admission, he doesnt care about 47% of the population! That's real patriotic, huh?
Since Obama became President, he's been trying to fix the crap Bush left him... All the GOP has been doing? "Uhh... our goal is to deny Obama a second term" Those are the ones that HATE the American people. They've done everything possible to keep our economy in shambles, all the while blaming Obama.
They must think that all americans are stupid and won't see what's going on, but the polls are showing them that the majority of us are NOT stupid, (Obama 50%, Romnuts 43%, and I predict that after the debates, Obama's lead will widen) You're right, America knows who they are voting for on Nov 6, 2012, and it sure as hell ain't Myth/Lyan!!
