Some crappy polls where voters immediately afterwards showed a narrow win for the President. However, then he showed polls where people said that Romney would be better for the economy by a 30% margin! What the hell? Where do they get these stupid people?

(5,008 posts)Clips where Romney supposedly did good ( like when he accused President Obama about China and his pension).

(32,095 posts)It's not like the President--or anyone else--has control over where their pension funds are invested. That's up to the fund managers. It's not just bizarre, it's too stupid for words.

(17,651 posts)Perhaps in their dark little corner of the world the differences won't matter but the average, typical American will recognize the difference.
Just like Romney tried to imply Obama did not call the Libya attacks "terror attacks" but "acts of terror" - the argument only works in their tiny bubble.
I really think that the offshoring of jobs to China or any other low wage country, Sensata and other companies and the obscene profits that companies like Bain Capital made using slave labor and avoiding taxes, hiding money from the U.S. Govt., is a HUGE weakspot for Romney. Really humongous issue that we can hammer on relentlessly.
How desperate do you have to be to just talk about pensions during a debate on Immigration?! A: I'd say it was extremely desperate!

(35 posts)That's what I did. Tell them they are losing touch with reality and not reporting the news. I told them putting up that "Romney did better on the economy poll" from left field is a blatent brainwashing ploy. I told them I am turning to current tv more often.
Bomb them with emails. Enough emails and they will come back to reality.
