The HUGE blow to Romney comes the 7th and 8th,

that's when Mars squares his transiting Neptune sitting atop his chart which is squaring his ascendant
can you say kaboom!!?

Mars will be at 0 Sagittarius squaring Neptune for ALL OF US, but for him, it's already set up squaring his personal ascendant.
That means that (Neptune his Piscean ruler) has BEEN TRYING TO TELL HIM TO COOL IT AND GET REAL. WELL....

So, Mars will be hitting his chart from the 7th house, the house of OPEN ENEMIES, or ones you know who are against you.
Here comes a great big uppercut

He created the whole mess, it's his karma, as well as the party of the long trunks.

It will "change his role in public forever after"

Well those dates are 3 or 4 days after the first debate on this Wednesday. I feel he is "losing it" mentally...I'm almost afraid to watch to see what he says or does. I have a feeling it's not going to be pretty. And btw, who has to memorize "zingers" in a debate?? What if his program gets mixed up and he says the wrong zinger at the wrong time?? How embarrassing that would be. I think he's going to crack under the pressure soon.

I keep getting a message about "integrity" and how absolutely nothing can exist now that doesn't have that at it's root. I know that has been important for a couple of years now. But the way I'm getting it is that NOTHING can exist anymore that isn't based in integrity. There is NO foundation for it now.

And you're right, he is the embodiment of the entire party and they are all going down in flames it seems. It's like they just can't help themselves!

Wed Oct 3, 2012, 08:59 AM
Oct 2012

Ann Romney said that she worried about his mental health. That could have some deep meaning. Either his campaign is being run by completely inept and tone deaf people or he is a micromanaging failure. But everything they've tried has backfired.

"Open Enemies" - Now does someone have access to his tax returns? Maybe Senator Reed? I'm convinced Harry Reed has some sources, maybe that's the time that the real "October surprize" is laid down on ol' Willard. He's definitely stepped on some people on the way up who would mind pissing in his Wheaties.

The Mittster is now on record with multiple lies. Today, even if they want to say Romney "won", the media is, in fact, reporting on the lies and misspeaks of last night. Romney's own people were backpedaling last night immediately AFTER the debate. They have more debates coming up and the lies and extreme positions are all fair game from here on out.

I realize everybody wanted to see Obama kick Romney in the nuts and then stomp him while he was down, but that is not and never has been Obama's style. Yes, he wants to be "liked" but he also is very calculated with his campaigns. I have every belief that last night went EXACTLY as planned.

Seriously. Obama did not give up anything.

Yes, Obama is above all a thinker and a planner. The news coverage focus of this debate is all wrong. It should be on how r-money pulled an about-face and presented new positions. No one is paying any attention to that! It is so bizarre.

Now, some people are calling what romney said "lies," but I am not sure that is true. I guess it is if his web site still says his position is one thing and what he said on TV is another, then he lied.

I am thinking that because of Romney's long streak of disasters, he felt he had to change his positions, which he did--but on national TV in a debate with the president! Not really the place to do this!

I am so thoroughly disgusted with the news media for jumping on the bandwagon and magnifying this erroneous impression of what happened in that debate. It must be hard to be President Obama right now and to have to live with this nonsense.

The rest of the world is beginning to take notice of what other DU'ers, me included, have been harping about since debate night:

The article says the "lies and half truths he told are being dissected."

Even Team Romney had to correct the candidate on health care immediately after the debate.

As I predicted earlier this week, Romney had an October Surprise planned for the President – new policy ideas. But I had no idea that Romney would just lie about everything he had said over the past year and a half.

As the President said, Mitt Romney’s bright new idea is: Never Mind!


I knew this would come back to bite him in the butt. Yeah!!!

30. tack to center
Fri Oct 5, 2012, 05:17 PM
Oct 2012

Everybody expected Romney to tack to the center immediately after the primaries. Instead, he continued hard right, courting the tea partiers who hate him. Maybe he figured that over summer, all but the most political are on vacation and not paying attention.

And then, in the first big televised event around the elections, there he is tacking hard center (except when he made the incredible tactical blunder of planning to fire host Jim Lehrer and the iconic Big Bird).

Also throwing everything including the kitchen sink, trying to bury Obama in a series of contradictions and lure him into a "did so, did not" waste of time.

Instead, Obama stayed on message and apparently got his view for the country through the 3 ring circus to his right. My biggest concern was that the President seem very, very tired. Hopefully got some good rest after....

Well, Romney's tiny bump in the polls will cost him severely over the long haul, while simultaneously will lure the big bucks back his way, where they will be wasted instead of them flowing down-ticket.

And other than his plan to kill Big Bird, all eyes have already turned to the jobs report, and the GOP is freaking out over that one.

Bottom line is it will prove a win for Obama.

And she said he walks sneaky, it's creepy, i take what she says seriously, she starting to lose some of her mental functions, and her perception means alot to me. She is seeing him through a child's eyes. My step dad said Obama is his choice too. ( and he's usually a very prejudice man, but he has his limits when it comes to all of us.) he knows he is the best choice for our survival.

to lift a bogus Order of Protection his Ex filed. She has a long history of lies and false charges against him and others. I am worried for him. She is trying to take his house by force of the courts. They have been divorced for over 6 years. I am only worried because our court system is not a justice system. She has a 2 yo (who does not belong to my brother), no job or job history so no means of support and I'm afraid the court will use that as a pretext to force my brother to lose control of his property. His kids (teenagers) are staying w/my sister as they are not safe there either (she calls the police on them w/false charges too). She is claiming they are still married etc. She has been staying there since June (yes, he is an idiot). He plans to initiate eviction proceedings right after court so will still be unable to live in his home with his kids safely until the 30 days pass.

Unless there's a video of a close up with writing what he pulled from his pocket could have been a handkerchief or a blank piece of paper to write on during the debates.

And even if he had notes, nobody in the main stream is going to care enough for it to be an issue. I mean, less than half the country seemed to care that the last president stole an election and started an illegal war. Bringing notes to a debate won't come close to 'huge' by today's standards.

Increase military spending on war, while cutting spending on veterans, Medicare, SS and firing Big Bird.

I don't think that will go ver well with most people.

Unless he does another double back and is talking this week about arming Syrian rebels, and then goes back on it in the debate. They are doing double-talking, double-backing, re-routing to an incredible degree to try to lure Obama into traps.

However, I'm hoping Town Hall forum will work against them.

I'm not sure of my data from 10/1-10/3, but several people posted that the weekly rolling on 9/30 was 50-45 and that 10/1-10/3 averaged 50-45.

Post-debate from 10/4-10/6 averaged 47-47.

Today's weekly rolling is back to 50-45. To bring the average that far up implies that Sunday, 10/7 was 59-49.

and it's big. I too thought this might be it. If you haven't seen the story, see if you can find the segment that Ed did. It's called "Bain-port". This should be spread far and wide. Maybe this is it, who knows. There's so many terrible things Romney is connected with, surely something will stick soon. We shall see...

Yes, this IS good news! I remember us talking about that and what all it involves. Wow..well even without the Chiron return, I don't see how anyone could vote for the alternative..good grief, you'd have to just be completely blind. But many are apparently. Thanks for sharing this info Rick! Now we just have to remember to keep him surrounded in light in case any of the repub-desperados get any crazy ideas. I wouldn't put ANYTHING past them. I'm still getting a strong feeling they or someone connected to them were somehow involved in the Libyan tragedy. I think we're going to see a lot more come out about MANY things that have been covered up.

Very strong feeling, like Rove or someone, who is now probably pissed that they did that for rMoney and he blew it. Romney even said at the same fundraiser that gave birth to the "47%" meme that he would take advantage of an Iran hostage type situation if it presented itself.

82. Telling employees how to vote--that cannot sit right with anybody!
Thu Oct 18, 2012, 10:22 AM
Oct 2012

I can't imagine that anybody is gonna be ok with having the boss tell you how you should vote. I've had it happen in my own life--but my job is political so I am not amazed by it. As it was, the one time they sent somebody in to my office to try and lean on me for an endorsement I got a wee bit direct with him then invited him to leave. I'm not for sale, neither is my support.

If I was somebody working private sector and I felt like my job security rested on voting a specific way I'd feel incredibly angry about that. I'd for sure feel that in order to protect my job--when they are not easy to find--I'd have to think long and hard about how I was gonna vote. In reality, the boss has no way to know how you vote once you get into that voting booth, but that is not something a lot of people are gonna stop to think about if they are faced with that situation.

It's a bad thing to face, and if anything, it does more to illustrate just HOW corrupted and evil some of these folks are. I saw the article last night where they were talking about Romney being ON TAPE(!) talking about leaning on employees to vote a certain way. Pure corruption of the system, IMO.

I think most people will tell them what they want to hear and then doing what they were going to do regardless.

Very few people really love their boss, especially in large corporations, and I suspect ordering people under threat to vote a certain way is more likely to backfire big time. If my lab manager ordered me to vote for Romney, I'd be more certain than ever to vote for Obama. If they ordered me to vote for Obama, I might thinking Jill Stein just for spite, lol.

In my last job, they told us on day one that political discussion was out. That verboten lasted exactly 1 day. Our trainer on day 2 was a Massachusetts libertarian and she could not *wait* to openly and blatantly start bashing Obama, when we were supposed to be getting training. Day 3, a second trainer followed suit.

Only one new hire joined in the Obama bashing, and he was already hard right. The rest of us sat in stunned, hard, angry silence at her attacks on our newly elected President. I know that 2 of us were pro-Obama; I don't know the politics of the other 12 (but it is a "mixed" area that was roughly 50/50 per signs anyway).

By day 4, either management got complaints or they noticed they were hardening us the "wrong" (in their opinion) way, gave it up and stfu.

and considering what it wants to be, which set of clothes to put on for the next several years so to speak. And thankfully we appear to be deciding to eschew the selfish, entitled, lying, gloating destructive idiocy which has been causing so much of our difficulty. Work's not done of course but this is a good start!

And yes, this does not appear to have been any single decisive blow on the given dates, but a few snowballs set rolling downhill, gathering mass and speed until they cannot be ignored. Mitt looked ready to lash out after the debate a couple of days ago. Let's see if he does, because the republican Klown Kar is indeed on fire but has yet to significantly crash.

I remember having the impression/feeling since Last Year that this election was either not going to happen or was a "non-event" in so many ways...
I thought there would be such earth changes or something as to possibly prevent the election, more recently i thought it was because we'd see a good landslide ...now I am

I'm really confused. They are up to their tricks. It's a shame, the only way they can win is cheat, steal or confuse. What scares me is people that don't see this. They are still playing the game, our side against yours. They've been taught to hate us for years. The only hope I have with this, is that more and more people are questioning their party, I know my sister is starting to see the light. The tea party has helped this. But I don't know if they will steal it and like you say, I cannot fathom a Romney presidency. I just don't see it. But don't want to wake up in that world one day.

Mitt Romney is a piece of work. I don't know how he keeps his lies straight in his own mind? But the MSM wants to show him as completely qualified to be President. Honestly, I think Richard Nixon was more honest, in today's media Watergate would still just be a building.
