   It’s like these polls where Romney wins Independents by 10 points but loses. Makes no sense. How can Romney win the #1 issue of the day by a mile but lose the debate?

   It’s like saying one team scored all the points but the other team wins because they looked better in their uniforms.

   Curious isn’t it…..? Was it Lenin who said it matters not who casts the vote, what matters is who counts the votes. Pray folks, pray.

   Who in their right mind would do any kind of business with a liar? Obama has been proven a liar time and again and people STILL think he should lead the Country? But, as they say, it’s what a community organizer does. Regardless of your political leanings we need someone who understands finance, not a liar.

   Romney needs to poll twice as high as Obama.

   Ever wonder why the left is in favor of early voting? They’ve probably figured out a way to vote a few weeks ahead of the election and then go cast their vote a second time on Nov 6. If most of our counties can’t even locate and purge dead people from their polling lists, what makes you think they’ll be able to cross check those who voted early against those who vote again on election day?

   Romney will win on the issues because Romney knows how to solve problems and run a business. . not just agitate like a community organizer who plays too much golf. . .

   I do think Romney could have done even better during last night’s debate by being clearer and more direct with the issues. . . and create more gap and distance between him and Obama’s failed record.

   On Healthcare, Romney needed to say to Americans when Obama touted that they copied Romneycare from Massachusetts:

   Mr President, how then did you take my Bill of 70 pages and turn it into 2,700 pages that no one read before passing. .that we are still trying to figure out?
   or
   Mr President, under your bill there are so many NEW taxes on the Middle class, that you will be way above the Clinton rates you keep proposing
   or
   Mr President, Waiting for care under your plan will be worse than standing in line at TSA checkpoints in airports with long queues while lanes sit idle and are unstaffed. . .or where you interrogate 80 year old granny and her colostomy bag but give a pass to a young middle eastern male with an underwear bomb

   And on Leadership, Romney should have hit the message home. . .
   Mr president, under your leadership these past four years, we have Jimmy Carter II. . on steroids with unemployment skyrocketing and jobs declining as well as our dollar and credit rating while world spins out of control and our embassies are attacked, stormed and an Ambassador is killed.

   In a recent interview, you gave yourself an incomplete for a grade. .
   looks more like an “F” for failure!

   First debate – Obama unscripted, unprepared, lacking in substance, lacking in energy.

   Second debate – Obama wired, unprepared, lacking in substance, no lack of lies, boorish.

   Romney defened his posiitons without being defensive, was civil, and was factual and truthful in Both debate. Little drop off from a very soild performance in debate #1.

   The black Canadian bus is getting warmed up for Barry….

   Apparently, consciously or unconsciously, the American public is quite aware of this also. If it were otherwise, these poll numbers would not reflect on Romney so favorably.

    If you thought Candy Crawley was biased, wait until Bob Schieffer has a whack at it next week.

    Unlike Creepy Crawley, Schieffer is a professional liberal journalist. I don’t think he’s capable of keeping his mouth shut. I suspect it will be the worst of the three debates as far as hosing Romney is concerned.

    Better yet, volunteer. Every polling place should have poll watchers from each party, and those poll watchers should also watch the count.

    And somewhere, Barack Obama is asking, “Debate performances rank high on voters’ concerns, right? Right?”
