Latest polls from Purple Strategies show Romney +3 in Florida. After all of his pandering to Hispanics Onama is only up 1 in Colorado and Virginia he's up two. I guess one maybe bright spot for Obama is he's up 3 in Ohio, a must win for Romney.
Exactly, these attacks are doing nothing but making Obama look desperate and low. The Romney campaign know exactly what they are doing. Sometimes you just have to give someone enough rope to hang their silly selves with.
In effect, you want to kick the can further down the road by returning us to the policies that got us into this mess in the first place. We never will recover as long as we keep repeating the same mistakes.
Until we cut spending and raise taxes, we will never shed ourselves of the hovering debt cloud that is hindering growth. We can't control what is happening in Europe, but having the guts to admit we need to take some difficult steps to tackle our debt at home will do more to heal the US economy than any tax cut Republicans can propose. Also, it would be refreshing if Republicans would come clean and admit there are numerous external global factors that are preventing growth. They won't, because the less the base understands the more they can continue the charade that lower taxes will somehow offset our ballooning defense budget (which is spending cut taboo....but everything else including education is on the table!)
Republicans loved the individual mandate when they first proposed it in Congress in 1993. They hate it now at Obama's name is tied to it. It's too bad, because there are many beneficial provisions contained within ACA that prove popular with most Americans (on both sides of the political spectrum) once you get past the talking points. Obama's biggest problem is that he has done a poor job educating Americans on ACA.
I have never understood how Republicans can be for energy independence and yet be so against sustainable, alternative energy generation and reduction. They whine about CAFE when appropriate, yet the market seems quite pleased with double digit increases in fuel economy over the last ten years. They whine about the green economy, yet LEED certified buildings that use 40% less energy are quite popular with owners, developers, and public institutions (and by extension, taxpayers) once they realize the short term cost premium results in long term energy savings. Why do Republicans only focus on domestic oil exploration when Japan, Europe, and China are about 15 years ahead of us in developing a sustainable society able to better weather shocks in the oil market?
Let's cut regulation and go back to the wheeling and dealing economy of the 2000's. Oversight of the financial sector, stock market, and lending institutions sounds like a horrible idea. We like boom-bust cycles every 5-8 years rather than sustainable, measured growth.
Considering Republicans keep repeating the same tired schtick to solve problems that my generation is going to be paying for, while remaining intellectually dishonest on real problems facing this country, I hope you don't mind that I prefer a "dummy" like Obama for four more years.
You sure represent this distortion as fact.
A few Republicans cast ideas about that had little support and never came for a vote due to that.
That there were liberal Democrats that opposed the very idea could be a claim that all Democrats opposed it but I won't make that claim either.
I prefer to stick with what really happened.
Do some research.

A few? Nineteen GOP senators introduced the legislation, including four that are still sitting Senators today. That was almost half of the Senate in 1993.
The funny thing about this is that people are voting against Obama and not for mitt, this holds true even for established republicans. I mean like, really?? It does not make much sense to me as to why many people poor/middleclass people are voting against their own best interest. mitt has not said exactly what he would do except the opposite of whatever the current president has done. In otherwords all of his answers have been "after I'm elected I will do...." Personally I want to know what and how do you propose on doing anything except tax breaks for the wealthy.
Another day, another person worrying about polls in the middle of July.
And of course, if the poll reads in a way that someone doesn't like, then time to cry about how the poll is skewed by the other party.
Astounding that adults actually participate in this tomfoolery.
