We went to a neighbook block party this pm,,

19 people; 1 undecided ,12 Obama, 6 romeny.
To the rmoney supporters, I asked why ?
Here are their answers for romeny.
1. rmoney knows money
2, He looks like a president

3. rmoney has world wide contacts that he will use to build our manufacturing jobs.

Why not Obama ? Too much debt. The national debt is out of control. He has screwed up our foreign contacts.
Their favorite "W're not better than we were 4 years ago.
PBO"s race was never mentioned.
He is pro=abortion.
He is for big banks.
He doesn't have a plan.
All above are fox talking policy.
They are set in their views. If we found them committing wild ass things and the thing they did "wasn't as bad as the democrates would do".

I guess it's easier than thinking.
I think the wil be surprised when PBO wins with over 300 electoral votes. GOBAMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ignorance abounds but it's not necessarily in the majority. Hopefully your neighborhood is a microcosm of how votes will bew cast Nov 6th!

It's a shame that so many republicans do not understand that the economy became a mess due to two unpaid for wars, the Bush tax cuts, and the Republican policies.
It takes more than four years to dig out of something that took the republicans eight years to create.

Romney is not a job creator, he is a greedy businessman that knows how to downsize companies by firing folks and selling off assets for a profit - government is not run that way.

there was a poll of the big overseas money guys, and they overwhelmingly chose the President. The ideas those guys at the party had, were just freakin' ridiculous. And sadly, race WAS mentiong "Romney just looks like a President." Oh.. but the black guy doesn't. think about it.

Good ratio, though! Where do you live?
