On that I can say wherever I go and also at work I don't hear anyone say anything good about him. across the board too!
The words I hear are not pretty either.

I don't think I only come across only Republicans out here in the world.

The same way Obama spins, a tax cut is an increase in spending.

They will stay home and not waste their time voting.

No votes on one side, means increased votes on the other.

No one mentions the most important part.
The increasing gap of separation in numbers. There really is not an increase in votes. There is a decline on the opposing side.

My elderly dads next door neighbor, is about as fruity as it gets. He about 25-30 and plays in a band and his wife supports him off her IRS job.

I was outside watering the grass and we struck up a conversation.
It was amazing at the talking points he was ignorantly spewing.

All I had to do was ask, "what about...", "do you think...",

I sat him down firmly in the chair of reason and truth.
At the end of our disagreement, he finally said, That makes sense. WOW, I didn't realize that. Obama is so stupid, then.

To that I said, I learned long ago, they try to keep us as dumb as they can, so they can slide this crap right by you.

You want a real change? You need to take a hard, open minded look at Ron Paul and the policies he has stood on for 40 years.

His response, "I'll do that, because this is messed up and not getting better, only worse."

This article in the LA Times show what people are really thinking and not just thinking but how they;ve had to change their lifestyles since Obama became President.

~90% of Americans rate the economy negatively and 50% say it is "poor"
~Only 15% say they are getting ahead
~27% say they are falling behind
~54% have been forced to change their lifestyle and 60% of them are "angry"
~Support from liberal Democrats for Obamas jobs record has dropped from 57% to less than 1/3
~Overall strong disapprovers outnumber approvers by 2 to one
New polls confirm Obama's Democratic base crumbles - latimes.com
You think any of these people are going to vote for Bachman or Romney? Get a clue.

I mean sowed. At least I know NOT to use "your" when the correct usage is "you're" or "you are" like 98% of you all do.

You guys all say "your" to mean "you are" when your should only be used to show possession such as "your house or your sweater"
