2012 U.S. Presidential Election

[Roy Karrde]

The CBS poll says that Obama is the winner too.

And it says Romney is a winner on the economy by a large margin.

Btw, do you realize that the Fort Hood shooter has never been called a terrorist? He's been called an "extremist" and a "radical" by the media and the government, but not a terrorist. Apparently, putting that label on one of our own soldiers is bad, even if he is a murderer.

FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) - August 9, 2012 (WPVI) -- An Army psychiatrist charged in the deadly Fort Hood shooting rampage meets six factors that indicate someone is a homegrown terrorist - including having three videos on his computer, a terrorism consultant said Thursday.

I stand corrected.

Still, given the date of that story, it took them far longer than 14 days to label him as one.

If you want the "14" day catagory the media was talking about him being a terrorist 3 days after the attack.

It also helps to note that this could be seen as a act of a derranged mad man and not a terrorist attack. While the style and combatants of the attack in Bengahzi made it clear it was a terrorist attack

By the way it should be noted that the Candy Crowley admitted on Sept 30th that the Administration did not come out immediately and say it was a act of terrorism.

"CROWLEY: I am joined by Obama campaign senior adviser David Axelrod. I want to pick up on what John McCain and I were talking about. There's a back and forth now about why didn't this administration -- why did it take them until Friday after a September 11th attack in Libya to come to the conclusion that it was premeditated and that there was terrorists involved. John McCain said it doesn't pass the smell test, or it's willful ignorance to think that they didn't know before this what was going on. Your reaction?

AXELROD: Well, first of all, Candy, as you know, the president called it an act of terror the day after it happened. But when you're the responsible party, when you're the administration, then you have a responsibility to act on what you know and what the intelligence community believes. This was -- this is being thoroughly investigated.

CROWLEY: But first it was, like, not planned.

AXELROD: We need to bring to justice--

CROWLEY: First, they said it was not planned, it was part of this tape. All that stuff."

I noticed something.

When Obama didn't perform well, liberals immediately ackknowledged it. When first Biden and then the President performed well, conservatives immediatly start whinning about the unfairness of the proceedings.

Mitt was half right about one thing, it seems. 47 percent of Americans view themselves as victims, the 47 percent on the right.

Was it not Obama supporters who said immediately after the debate "The moderator was terrible he let Romney interrupt".

Was it not Obama supporters who said immediately after the debate "Romney switched positions and lied so many times Obama was caught off guard".

Was it not Obama supporters who said immediately after the debate "The altitude affected Obama" Okay really it was just al Gore on that one...

Was it not Obama supporters who said immediately after the debate "Romney pulled out a cheat sheet" when reality it was a hanker chef?

Meanwhile, Todd Akin continues to sink even lower.

He said this of his opponent:

“She goes to Washington, D.C., it’s a little bit like one of those dogs, you know ‘fetch'. She goes to Washington, D.C., and get all of these taxes and red tape and bureaucracy and executive orders and agencies and she brings all of this stuff and dumps it on us in Missouri.”

I don't care what political party Ms. McCaskill belongs to. Calling a sitting Senator a dog? She deserves more respect than that.

No, THIS would be better:

Only problem with this idea, it would take the fact-checker all of five minutes to run out.
