Romney By A Landslide.
 
DIRECT FROM CAESAR’S PALACE.

ANALYSIS THAT MAKES MORE SENSE THAN BIASED POLLS........

A Las Vegas "odds maker" gives his reasons for big win by Romney in November. Interesting analysis.

Most political predictions are made by biased pollsters, pundits, or prognosticators who are either rooting for Republicans or Democrats. I am neither. I am a former Libertarian Vice Presidential nominee, and a well-known Vegas odds maker with one of the most accurate records of predicting political races.

But as an odds maker with a pretty remarkable track record of picking political races, I play no favorites. I simply use common sense to call them as I see them. Back in late December I released my New Year's Predictions. I predicted back then- before a single GOP primary had been held, with Romney trailing for months to almost every GOP competitor from Rick Perry to Herman Cain to Newt- that Romney would easily rout his competition to win the GOP nomination by a landslide. I also predicted that the Presidential race between Obama and Romney would be very close until election day. But that on election day Romney would win by a landslide similar to Reagan-Carter in 1980.

Yes. America (outside the bubble of conspiracy theorists and southern dog whistlers) are going to elect a completely unqualified blatant liar, whose campaign and advisors are Bush neocons, who's campaign to date has been one disaster after another, who lost his last two races for the same reasons (lying and being disliked by the GOP) who disavowed and abandoned every far-right conservative tenant of his campaign during the first debate (which his conservative backers apparently failed to notice in their joy at seeing Romney again being the gay-hair-cutting bully he's always been to Lehrer)

This is a party that disliked Mitt so much that they were willing, at various times, to take Bachmann, Cain, Gingrich and Perry over Mitt.

Yes - it's gonna be a Romney landslide! Big win, baby! :p

OMG, that guy is gonna make money on the suckers.

We've already done that - see the current occupant of the White House...

They voted for "Change" in 2008.
This time we need Romney 2012 for Restoration

Restoration of what? Slavery? Restoration of Romneys US accounts from his overseas tax havens? Restoration of Insurance companies rights to cancel a kid with cancers insurance? Restoration of the jobs he already shipped to China, Phiilipines and India? Fat chance on that.

Restoration of the health of the U.S. Economy.
Restoration of respect for the U.S. internationally.
Restoration of personal freedom from government overreach (as in ObamaCare)
Restoration of prestige to the Office of the Presidency by actually having someone who KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING.

I would love for you to explain how electing Romney president will restore respect for the US internationally. When you're done doing that, how about how it will restore prestige to the office and prestige in whose eyes?

Thanks.

Do you travel overseas much Joey cause that's just not true

It's over, you're finished.
 
if you want to see what will happen if Romney wins, watch Steven King's "The Dead Zone" Martin Sheen plays Romney, of course he goes by Greg Stillson in the movie.

i can't believe you, or anyone, actually thinks the president has any effect on the u.s. economy. it is no more accurate to say a president can fix them, than it is to say a president caused them.


what has romney done to exhibit he would 'know what he's doing' as president? what part of his trip overseas makes you think he could restore int'l respect, or prestige? was it his comments in london regarding the olympics? his remarks on palestinian culture when in israel? his remarks on russia? i think he ruffled more feathers on that trip than he soothed.

Mitt Romney’s Most Dishonest Speech

When it comes to lies and half-truths, Romney saves his best stuff for foreign policy.


By Fred Kaplan|Posted Monday, Oct. 8, 2012, at 5:14 PM ET

Mitt Romney has delivered a lot of dishonest speeches in recent months, but Monday’s address on foreign policy may be the most mendacious yet.

It was expected that he would distort President Obama into a caricature of Jimmy Carter. But it was astonishing to watch Romney spin a daydream of himself as some latter-day George Marshall, bringing peace, prosperity, and hope to a chaotic world—this from a man who couldn’t drop in on the London Olympics without alienating our closest ally and turning himself into a transcontinental laughingstock.

To the extent that Romney recited valid criticisms of Obama’s policies, he offered no alternatives.

To the extent he spelled out specific steps he would take to deal with one problem or another, he merely recited actions that Obama has already taken.

Let’s go through the text, point by point.

Continued, 3 pages
It's the lying. Mitt Romney, in his political life, has always been an utterly brazen liar.

Back when he ran for Governor and lied about where he filed his taxes, all though every subsequent campaign where he's lied even after being caught out by multiple media outlets ("our campaign will not be dictated by fact checkers"), up to and including his appalling lie-filled debate speech last week repeating long-debunked outright lies ("death panels" "751B from Medicare" "42% clearly false statements").

Newt Gingrich called him the most dishonest politician he's ever seen. This is why Romney lost to Kennedy for Senate, it's why he lost the GOP primary early in 2008, and it's why nobody in the GOP or his primary opponents care about him. Tim Pawlenty bailed from his campaign a few weeks back to become a lobbyist, for gosh sakes, when the 47% video came out.

Mitt Romney isn't just a shading politician, he's a stone-cold liar, and he looks you in the eye, smacks his lips (his tell) and lies to your face. About a third of the public is simply ignoring this is occurring. Simply amazing.

Thanks.

We can start with the fact that Romney will not go on an apology tour, and be bowing to every middle eastern leader when shaking hands would suffice.

Romney won't be saying "America has been divisive, even derisive."

Romney will actually meet with Netanyahu, which is a good idea since Israel is our only true ally in the region. BTW - if pro-Israel stance is important to the voter at all, Romney is the clear choice. Do we still have pro-Israel candidates that will blindly vote Democratic? Somebody will have to explain that one to me. :zz:

And you base that on what exactly? Paranoia, or are you just drinking the Democrat Kool Aid?


joeydb 10-09-2012 01:12 PM

Oh, and in keeping with the original title of the thread...

Romney now leads the Real Clear Politics rolling average of polls, and that's still including a pre-debate CNN poll favorable to Obama. So expect that to go up a couple of more ticks.

Then anything can happen Thursday in the VP debate. Close race - no kidding.

Newt called him out as a brazen liar after the Republican debates. Obama was well aware of this going into the debate and he did NOTHING to counter.

I'm so sick of the bullshi.at nonstop RWNJ lies.

There still stands the Twitter offer of $10,000 to the first person that can quote Obama apologizing to anybody. So far nobody has claimed that prize in at least a month, Joey.

That never happened in real life, Joey - only in the imagination of RightWingIstan.

How many times has Obama met with Netanyahu?

In Romney's big "foreign policy" speech, he exactly repeated that he'd do exactly what Obama has done regarding Israel.

Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator is prepping Biden for the debate. Expect an absolute ROUT.

I know. I think Obama was so shocked when Romney changed 180 degrees from what he'd said the day before, he wasn't prepared for it. But he should have been prepared, and should have prefaced every single response with, "You know, Gov. Romney, that is not factually true"

Romney was clearly trying to goad Obama on with the barrage of deliberate lies and policy 180's, I'm quite sure of it.

Fascinating debate to watch for the tactical bullying of the moderator and the opponent. It was indeed a "Gish Gallop"

If you listen and watch the debate again, Obama clearly comes off better, calmly trying to fact-check Romney's barrage of words.

But Romney, with his caffinated aggression and overbearing style, came off the winner in impression, absolutely. Too bad everything coming out of his mouth was false and made-up

When your own website can be used to fact-check you as false, and your own campaign comes out immediately after the debate and corrects your lies, you should know you've crossed the line.

The American public just doesn't seem to care about the lying with this guy.
