I'm a racist for pointing out racist things other people say and do. Noted.
I'm responding to looking at things like this on twitter all night................... a lot of people were complaining that Obama didnt get a chance to speak because Romney kept interrupting him... which i thought was pretty funny since Obama spoke 4 minutes longer.

there's a difference between what you're doing and constructive criticism. there's others in this thread that have not taken your avenue that may very well be Romney supporters. i can respect whoever's reason, but that racist type shit, "that's that shit i don't like" embrace whatever you are. it's like you fighting a battle with something you cant win against.
i really dont care who you vote for, all of your post are 'OBAMA 100% fail, ROMNEY 100% win'...i can't see where both are 100% either way. i may not have the facts on both candidates nor care that much to delve into it that far, but from the outside looking in, while both make points and what not, both are not100% either way. I bet Romney will actually do somethings that benefit Obama voters that they never thought about, and vice versa for Romney voters. all the race shit that you tossing around is ridiculous, plain.
I dont recall ever having a Romney 100% win approach.......... you'd probably be very surprised how much we would have in common. On most social issues i lean in favor of Obama. I'm an atheist so religious affiliation doesnt matter to me, I'm also pro choice, and i support gay rights. If i could pick who won..... i'd take Ron Paul. With the options i'm left with, i'll vote for Romney. Obama's record as president speaks for it'self. Unless you're willing to blame all of the problems on Bush, there's no logical way to call the last 4 years a success. I'm not thrilled about Romney, but it seems pretty clear to me that Obama needs to go. I'll tone down the race acknowledgements for now, but i was simply commenting on what i was reading. If it wasnt there, i wouldnt have commented. I posted examples.
And? I don't care who said it, it is very misleading.
I don't watch the news because the reporting is secondary to ratings. I get most of my news in written form but there is still alot of bullshit reporting there too. That's why you have to always have your bullshit filter on.
Philadelphia Teacher bullies student for wearing Romney t-shirt
interesting story i stumbled across today.
Im not hearing the whole story. For all we know she was disrupting class with the shirt, she goes home and tells her dad, who, by the way she's parroting, and right-wing nut dad decides to make an issue out of it. Judging by her age, she probably doesnt have any political opinions of her own anyway, and, save for a government class, there really shouldnt be any political discussion going on anyway, especially any kind of endorsing.

While that statement is true, what I see is that the two of you like to disregard anything that doesn't fall inline with your narrow viewpoint. IE - the facts need to fit your viewpoint, rather than your viewpoint fit the facts.
It's hard to take someone like that seriously.
I'm guessing that we should just ignore this pro-Obama news then also?

Fox News just reported UE is down to 7.8%. It was over 10% when he took office.

Interesting reading. Interesting in that obviously TV ads and propaganda seems to be money well spent when it comes to politics.
Just an observation.
Yeah. Rush likes to predict a lot of things
http://www.politicususa.com/rush-lim...-hurt-gop.html
Again, it's all in just WHO is writing what.....NOT on FACT.
This is why so many people went to the polls to vote for a President because "I'm not gonna have to pay for my mortgage no' mo'", "I'm not gonna have to pay to go to the Dr. no' mo'", and the best of all....."He's black" as the "reason" for voting for him. Haven't a clue about his stances on anything else, yet casted a ballot and elected him on one or more of those brilliant and insightful assumptions. How's that happen? Because grown folks who haven't a clue how to balance a check book, yet are fully legally allowed to cast a ballot for the highest elected office in the world, watch TV and go on the internet all the time to get their information regurgitated to them never once questioning WHO is saying that and does it make any sense at all.
Take a look at your "source" for the Rush Limbaugh spin: (this is a direct quote from THEIR own website)
"PoliticusUSA was founded in February of 2008 by Jason Easley. Jason had a vision of a liberal and independent news site which would offer a mix politics and opinion in an unfiltered environment, not beholden to any specific political or media agenda. PoliticusUSA is by design accessible to all levels of readers. Whether you are a casual follower of current events or a policy wonk, there is something here at PoliticusUSA for you.
“If by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people-their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties-someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal,” then I’m proud to say I’m a Liberal.”~J.F.K. In other words, if you are to the left of Ayn Rand Tea Party Social Darwinism, if you think we have some responsibility for the poor, the elderly, the veterans, the disabled, and the vulnerable in society, welcome to PoliticusUSA."
I highlighted the interesting parts.
So a LIBERAL and SOCIALIST website spun a comment made by a super CONSERVATIVE and controversial talk show host......surprised????.....REALLY?
The ironic thing is this: Rush Limbaugh is NOT running for ANY political office in any state, especially the President. So WHY is it that so many people use HIM as if he was? He's not the poster child for Republicans, is he? So all of a sudden because someone agrees with our view that makes them US too? In other words, if I said something that I believe in and for some odd reason a KKK member happens to agree with that one thing I said.....does that make ME anything? He/she just agreed with what I said. Doesn't mean I agreed with him or her.
The spin doctors will always continue to cloud the water in order to avoid having to face the REAL issues. It's a diversion tactic. Nothing more, nothing less. The idiots out there who can't do anything for themselves unless the "Gobment" gives it to them of course want more of it. They didn't have to work for what they're getting now, so why would they ever want that to stop? Liberal Socialists want the "Gobment" to masticate the food they eat for them and to be sure and take from the big bad rich to give to the poor. So OF COURSE they are going to find any and all reasons to keep a President in office by spinning every single nugget they can possibly spin doctor their way......WHY?????......simply because they are forced to face the real FACTS they are SOL.
Simple and direct question:
- Name, list, find, CREDIBLE and NOT spun liberal media facts about President Obama's accomplishments during his Presidency.
If I'm referencing a direct quote from Rush Limbaughs own two lips, does it matter where I got the quote from? I wasn't referring to what the editors thought about it, I'm referring to what Limbaugh actually said. I could have plucked the same thing from Limbaughs own archived broadcast and delivered the same message.
Biases based on reporting document-able evidence shouldn't be categorized as liberal leaning (which is what I feel like is happening here), unless you define a liberal lean as fact based. I define liberal leaning as biased towards liberal viewpoints in a overt or covert manner. I think "liberal" has been subconsciously defined here as the opposite of conservative. While I agree there is absolutely a such thing as "liberal bias", it is itself blatantly obvious, and distinguishable from fact based reporting. However, I feel as if it's increasing in occurrence now that if you report discernible facts and truths without the conservative spin you are placed subconsciously into a de-facto state of liberal preference. Which in itself I do not define as "liberal".Simple and direct question:
- Name, list, find, CREDIBLE and NOT spun liberal media facts about President Obama's accomplishments during his Presidency.
Not so much. Read more on how that came to the 7.8%

How did you get that from my response? What I said was that just because it is reported doesn't make it true. The CNN article stated "A majority of economists prefer Romney" when the details in the article did not support that statement. It has nothing to do with whether I like Romney or not. I didn't realize it was controversial to say we shouldn't take everything the media says as gospel truth. It seems like you just want to argue for the sake or arguing.
I dont put much faith into the UE numbers, especially when you use the U3 rate.
I do question a few things here though. First the facts from the BLS report.
1. We added 114k jobs over the last month.
2. 235k people returned to the work force.
3. July number were adjusted +40k to +181k
4. August numbers were revised up from +46+ to +142k
5. Economist consensus says the US economy needs 125k jobs per month to keep up with population inflation.
Just over the past 3 months, with the inclusion of the revisions, the numbers simply dont add up.
Over the last 3 months job roles are up 437k.
Over the last 3 months we needed to create 610k jobs to keep up with population inflation and those returning to the job market just to stay even.
Considering this info, how did the rate drop .3%?
You adjust for the people dropping out after their 99 weeks of UE... Duh. Some because they went on disability... 8,786,049: Yet Another Record for Americans Collecting Disability | CNSNews.com
Some just because since they can't collect, they can't be counted.
Sure, a 9 of 17 is a majority. Can't argue with that math. What I am arguing about is that it is a meaningless sampling and will probably mislead people into thinking that a majority OF ALL ECONOMISTS feel that way. Hey I just asked three people on the street who they were voting for and they said Obama. Would it be responsible for me to write an article and title it "100% of Georgians plan to vote for Obama"?
According to the chairman of the congressional black caucus Emanuel Cleaver, blacks that dont vote "should give us their color back".

Seeing Romney lead in the polls today restored a little bit of my faith in humanity. Maybe there's hope for america after all.
