    • "I dont remember what I said but I stand by what I said whatever it was."

    • Romney will not tell us how his budget would work. He says to ask him after the election.

    Romney says he knows how to create jobs, but never gives us an example of how he created those jobs in China.

    Romney owns Home Depot = 99% of their products come from Romney's manufacturing companies in China.

    Now, do you see he doesn't want you to see all of his tax returns?

    I read an article that said the polls will try to manipulate voters into thinking Obama is holding strong, but the trend is in Romney's favor and will more than likely propel him to victory. According to the article, this is the Democrats' last attempt to fudge the numbers, but as Nov.6 approaches, the polls will be forced to contend more with reality in order to sustain their validity in the future. Romney is running ahead of Obama and gaining in swing states. In fact, Ohio is now a dead heat. Don't believe what the media is saying about the momentum stalling. They are lying and the liberals are yes, drinking that proverbial "Kool-Aid".

    Everyone seems to forget that the winner is not determined by the "popular" vote which is what the polls reflect. The present "electoral" vote predictions are as follows: Obama: 277 Romney: 206

    It is the electoral vote that determines the winner.

    It's not over yet. Obama is going to win.

    It's reverse psychology! When the news media says Obama is in danger of loosing, it makes the liberals more inclined to vote. (twice if possible)

    Dude above me accuses Romney of being a flip flopper, this is true. But.. SO IS OBAMA. Honestly people just blind themselves to what they do not want to see.

    You honestly think Obama has never told a lie in his campaign? You honestly think he is the messiah?
