    If you loved Bush's economic policies, Cheney's foreign policies, and Santorum's social policies, then you will love the Romney-Ryan ticket!!!

    If Romney wins, will you, Edvard, Marcus, et al change your user names?

    I don't make silly assertions about Obama winning. But I sometimes state opinions about how bad Romney's policies are.

    And I regularly observe the significant lead Obama has as reflected by those putting up money to bet on the outcome.

    Romney hit a new low today on IEM.

    Those putting up money to wager on the outcome, aren't using iowa electronic market. They have a 500 max. The real money that sets the market (people dropping 5-6 figures) does continue to move towards obama. Romney bettors can now get +200

    Of course not. I don't call people idiots or clueless or ignorant for predicting Romney will win. I think they are WRONG however so what?

    Besides Shrek has a history of changing screen names to avoid looking stupid. In this case, he's said such idiotic things about the inevitability of Romney's win that he'll have no choice.

    Remember, Romney is the candidate that even REPUBLICANS didn't want. They tried to run with anyone, ANYONE, other than him but their slate was filled with losers. He couldn't get over 25% in his own contests.

    If I were a Republican, I'd wonder...how the hell did we get stuck with this guy as our candidate?

    Still, thank you GOP voters. You've made our lives less stressful.

    And most voters see it that way, too.

    If most voters see it that way, they aren't voting that way. Why the disconnect?

    They resoundingly rejected Sanctimonious, et al. until they were stuck with Romney-bot.

    See, I never said for sure that Obama would lose...unlike you saying for sure that he'll win.

    No, you've just used every disparaging remark in the world to describe people who think Obama will win. Clueless, in denial, etc.

    What does that make you if Obama does win? Clueless squared? Blind to the 10th power? Logic impaired?

    Poll: More Trust Obama than Romney on Jobs

    http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/poll-more-trust-obama-romney-jobs_652176.html

    Slightly more Americans trust Barack Obama than Mitt Romney on the issue of job creation, a new poll from Rasmussen shows. Forty-seven percent of those polled said they trust Obama more on job creation, compared to 45 percent who say they trust Romney more.

    That can't be comforting news to the Romney campaign, which has made job creation and Obama's bad record on the economy the central focus of the Massachusetts Republican's run for the White House. Consider a recent Romney advertisement airing in Florida, a critical swing-state. The ad hammers President Obama for Florida's 8.6 percent unemployment and reminds viewers that foreclosures in the Sunshine State are at record highs.

    the economy roared during most of Bush's term

    This "roaring" was all fake - people were taking money out of their homes on that so called bubble equity and were spending it at shopping malls, vacations and various consumer goods. We all saw what happened in the end.

    Weeks Before Election Day, Early Voting Kicks Off

    http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/wireStory/weeks-election-day-early-voting-kicks-off-17146024#.UE_GBZT4-6M

    Idaho and South Dakota can begin early voting on Sept. 21, followed later in the month by Vermont, Iowa and Wyoming. Contested states such as Ohio begin early voting Oct. 2 and Florida on Oct. 27. Most states also allow voting by absentee ballot, provided voters offer an excuse, and those ballots become available beginning this month.

    Seems as though the earliest voting begins Sept 21

    10 days

    That ad is the most pathetic stretch I've seen yet. Obviously intended for the lie seeking base, or otherwise ignorant voters who don't know:

    What's worse ?

    The kind of politicians that gets you into an economic crisis and the worst economic state we've seen in 70 years, and then obstructs some of the solutions to the crisis because that might make an opposing politician successful ?

    or

    THe type of politician who doesn't get us out (fast enough) of a financial crisis caused by a deflating secular credit and real estate bubble, and who has no cooperation and only obstruction from the most far right and crazy right wing congress we've ever seen.

    It seems as though every Republican who runs for office has the same mantra: If you elect Republicans, they will cut government spending and increase private sector jobs. The problem is that it just isn’t true. A few days ago, I provided the evidence which proves that Republicans are much bigger government spenders than Democrats. (see: http://www.politicalmontana.com/?p=309 ).

    The same is true for private sector jobs. Many more private sector jobs are created when Democrats are in power. http://www.businessinsider.com/the-data-show-democrats-are-better-at-creating-private-sector-jobs-2012-8. This article explains that the Bureau of Labor Statistics compiles these historical numbers and the data clearly shows Democrats are better for private job creation. An illustrative graph is below:

    Private-sector jobs grew far more under Democratic than Republican presidents, 1961-2012

    http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/05/08/1089785/-Private-sector-jobs-grew-far-more-under-Democratic-than-Republican-presidents-1961-2012

    The presidents who averaged the most jobs created per month were Bill Clinton, at 217,000; Jimmy Carter, at 188,000; and Ronald Reagan, at 153,000. That's right. Jimmy Carter beat Ronald Reagan. The only president to preside over a cumulative loss of private-sector jobs was, of course, George W. Bush.
