We've lost our AAA rating. We are over $16T in debt. 50% of recent college grads can't get jobs. Unemployment over 8%. Gas is over $4.10 per gallon. Property taxes are soaring because of out of control spending on teachers unions.

WHO GIVES A FLYING F IN A DONUT HOLE ABOUT FREE BIRTH CONTROL FOR WOMEN????
Who only cares about one issue at a time?

Too bad I can't rep you again.

The fact of the matter is that women voters note THE ECONOMY as the most important issue to them in the 2012 election, just as men do.

Given that Obama has failed miserably in the economy, the democratic plan is to "change the subject" and imply that all women will vote for him over "abortion" (when has a republican president overturned Roe vs Wade anyway?) and ignore the most important issue to them? The answer, of course, is that they will not. This is simply hopeful thinking by the Obama camp, as they cannot convince anyone to vote for them based on economic performance.

This election, despite what Obama would hope, is about the economy. Game over.

Well, at least we can be assured your head isn't empty..least not anymore anyway. As you've filled it up with Fox News talking points. Which you promptly regurgitate right here.

If you're able to pull yourself away from Hannity and the rest, try thinking for yourself in the future..you'd be surprised how easy it is..

Nothing in my reply to your vapid comment about the "ignorant redneck vote" was a 'FOX NEWS" talking point. Actually, right now I'm watching the Wealth Channel, which will be running a ridiculous left-wing "documentary" featuring Pocahantas Elizabeth Warren called "Addicted to Money" ..... LOL! Oh, and Sean Hannity lives about a mile and a half down the road from me, as does Rupert Murdoch and Billy Joel. Ahhhh, but I bet you would have gone gaga over Angelina Jolie when she and Brad were here a couple of summers ago. She used to go jogging on the beach. My daughter ran into them in Stop & Shop and said they smiled and said hello. Billy Joel, on the other hand, hit on her at the hot dog stand in OB. Dirty old man! LOL! And a terrible driver.

Yeah, sort of like 2004. Remember John Kerry??
If Huntsman could have carried the far right conservative end of the base (and he couldn't, because they thought he was a traitor for serving his country under a democrat ) he would have been the candidate in this round who could have beat Obama.

Except that Romney is no Ronald Reagan, and Obama is no Jimmy Carter. That's the difference.

Right, Obama is even worse than Carter, if that is possible. Carter's support for Hamas and Obama putting the Muslim Brotherhood into power in Egypt along with his clear disdain for Israel is an edict for the American people to remove Obama from office.

R/R! Twice as nice.

Reagan was ahead of Carter by nearly 30 points following the Republican convention in 1980. Romney has shown no such lead. Ever.
