So you think the Muslim Brotherhood government of Egypt is a democratic one. Yep, the progs are supporting anything that is rabid Islamist.

Obama is on top of one thing these days and has been for so long. It is his campaign and raising money and nothing else.

It's a very interesting technique they're using to "cover this one up"...
Didn't Obama declare the Ft. Hood massacre a "workplace" thing? Didn't the media work very hard to make it appear to be true? That is a very interesting technique they use.

It sure does seem that way, Dale. They have snowed enough people here to convince me that most of the progressive movement thinks they were awake.

What do homosexuals have to do with it?

That's what everyone in that situation should say.

Romney, on the other hand, decided to concoct this whole painfully contrived gobbledygook about how Obama is "apologizing" for America and then double down on it. So naturally, he got a lot of questions for that. That kind of stuff appeals to a small militant right-wing fringe that lives here on city-data and am talk radio, but not to the majority of people in this nation.
I see that you have taken a progressive head count. I sure hope you aren't right and do very seriously think you are.

Sorry, magoo, but the only poll I watch is the Rasmussen one and it shows that the whole convention bounce has bounced out and theirs is right back where it was before the conventions.

You do know that the administration has told Gallup to make sure that Obama doesn't get behind on theirs again before the election. Well, hell no, you don't know that.

They were correct, in one sense. The polling made the elections look closer than they were.
Yep, you don't watch the Rasmussen polls at all, do you? They were very right in both those Democrat wins and most people didn't see it because they are so hard right leaning. Leaners keep themselves as ignorant of many facts as possible and you just proved that.

To think that even at the height of my career I was lower lower class. Where's my welfare check?
Where did you pick up that fact about Romney? I missed it I guess.

Does that thing work when you are busy raising campaign funds? I just wondered since Obama has been campaigning and presidenting for nearly a year.
