That's how it looks: he came in first, and last.

Romney in fast track increasing support from Republican and independents while solidified his nomination has Obama's opponent. According to politico and George Washington, independent polls ( not from bias pollsters ) Romney lead double digit with independent voters, key to win the election, 47 % to 46% for Obama if the election is today, also Congress 65 % believe Republicans will take over the congress.

Democratic pollster Celinda Lake, who helped conduct the poll, said: “There are
no fissures on either side, but you have the Democrats less enthusiastic than
the Republicans.”

Another new survey, the USA Today/Gallup Swing State
Poll, also shows Romney making strides against Obama. Romney trailed Obama by 9
points in March in a dozen swing states, but the new survey results show him
behind by just two points, 47 percent to 45 percent.

Breaking great news for Romney and America ....

Tuesday, May 08, 2012

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows Mitt Romney earning 49% of the vote and President Obama attracting 44% support. Three percent (3%) would vote for a third party candidate, while another three percent (3%) are undecided ....

Obama's poll numbers are plummeting fast .... "LOL"

Sure OSKAR...we believe those polls...wink..wink...straight from the Fox News desk. Do search on FOX News dumber. Studies find you are dumber for watching Fox news! False info and lies make and people who believe them were tested on events. These people watching Fox news were found dumber for watching it.

Romney in true fashion will say he won that election, then he will flip and say he didn't , then he will flop back again and say he did.......etc.

Romney won with corporation money because he says Corporations are people. Still waiting to see a corporation birth certificate from Romney proving live birth!

Star

Is not Fox poll you can check my sources, media is spinning with fake numbers to mislead public opinion. obam is going to be like Carter one term President.LOL

But we avoided the Tundra Twinkie disaster, following the Bush Debacle. Now we're poised for the Romney Fiasco.

1,000 times better than the Obama disaster ....

BBA,

at least attempt to make an effort to be realistic. Romney's numbers have jumped but he is pretty much tied with Obama: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/us/general_election_romney_vs_obama-1171.html

Granted these polls mean absolutely nothing. The sample size is too small, now if they did polls with at least 1 million respondents they would me more accurate.

Don't blame me ....

It's not my poll .... "LOL"

Tuesday, May 08, 2012

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows Mitt Romney earning 49% of the vote and President Obama attracting 44% support. Three percent (3%) would vote for a third party candidate, while another three percent (3%) are undecided ....

Real Americans don't want Obama anymore ....

Simple ....

Really! Who cares? Even if only 2 people vote the press would say: "The overwhelming majority" voted for Romney

Pfft!

@ Big in Alaska:

There are 11 comments above, and half of them yours, saying that the "Majority of Americans don't care about Obama"

I hardly count one Republican in these vines as "The majority of Americans"

put me on that list as well, i don't care for our current president either.

Well ....

I'm a registered democrat ....

Real American's , what ever party you belong to ....

Has to get Obama out if you really care about America ....

Pretty simple ....

Don't you think .... ??

In the end, anyone is better than Obama, that saying, i wasn't a big fan of any of the recent presidents.

It's time for a real conservative (and it does'nt even have to matter which party! *gasp*) to step up to the plate. It's the only thing that can truely save this country.

Finally we will have an INTELLIGENT BUSINESSMAN in charge of the world's largest business the U.S.A. Obummer has proven a disgrace not only to the population of the U.S. but to the world.

Biden and Obummer have carefully hushed up the $500,000,000 they sent to the Finnish Car Company in Finland to build electric cars to compete with General Motors.

It was shameful how Obummer tried to take credit for the successful solar energy projects in Arizona and New Mexico when they were designed and construction started when Bush was president.

The fool Obummer had bin Laden KILLED! The navy seals know a thousand ways to take an unarmed man prisoner without killing him. Remember how the networks first said that it was a capture/kill mission and then they had to reverse themselves and declare that it always was a kill mission from the start! Since when does an army kill the opposing commanding general and does not try to capture him alive in order to interrogate him to obtain information?????

Then OBUMMER has the body disposed of before the DNA tests were concluded!!!!! And who believes that OBUMMER would not have the people doing the testing make a false report????

Obummer doesn't even want his grade school, high school, college and graduate school reports released! The man is a fool, a flake and a liar! Thank God that we will have an election this year and get rid of this ridiculous chair warmer!

Romney is a liar!And the list just keeps growing and growing .....

I'm with you, BigBenalaska, I was independant in the last (2008) election. I've always sided independant until the last 3 and a half years and actually took the step to register Republican. Obama scares me, not for me, but for my children. Massive debt for the US, more people on welfare (and I have a jaundiced eye because I actually had welfare growing up), apologizing for our foreign policies, everythings a campaign or blame game on Bush. He is a politician through and through (no wonder, he came from chicago and learned the game there.)

He had control the first two years in WA. Now, even his own democrats refuse his budget. The changes in the first two years.... healthcare that we all hate, bailouts for failing companies (don't talk to me about the auto industry, my husband has been in that industry for over twenty years and they wouldn't have failed anyways, due to how tight that industry is). Restructuring, yes, that would have happened, but we used tax payer dollars to make it easier for them. They aren't stupid and jumped on THAT wagon. Oh, and the banking industry, they aren't stupid either, just greedy.

Obama has failed, us as a Nation, and everything reflects that in our daily lives. I'm not saying he created it all, but "hope and change" was what he rode on to election, and his changes haven't helped.

He has no leadership abilities, forcing things down our throats, making poor decisions, etc.

I wish him well, because I do think he is a good man... I just think he's in over his head.

You have to addMITT ....

At least Romney can add and subtract ....

A vote for you Aralee ....

And people think all that corporate campaign cash is for buying TV ads. Look at all the paid shills here.

There is something wrong when a potential US president was once a professional federal tax avoidance specialist.

http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/02/22/430826/romney-marriott-tax-shelters/

How is this possibly defendable?

Romney sweeps trio of primaries, padding delegate total

I believe Willard Romney is a compulsive collector of everything including money... ☺

Aralee,

The bank bailout was signed by Bush, not Obama.

Second, had McCain been elected, we'd be a lot worse off today than we are, just as we will be if (and it's a HUGE if) Romney is elected. Republican policies got us into this mess (most polls show about 60% of Americans believe Republicans are to blame) and they'll only make things worse. The economy is improving, al Queda is decapitated, OBL is dead and while you say the auto industry would have been fine (I wonder where you studied economics and became an expert) the truth is that the auto industry did need the help and cars are selling again, and they're even adding shifts back on, and the bailout made that possible.

It's a good thing that all the polls show that President Obama has a commanding lead on the electoral college map (which is the only data that matters) and looks to be lined up for an easy reelection. Romney has no answers for us, no solutions, and so it's no surprise that, when looking at the map, he has no viable path to 270 electoral votes. If we go from just the data from conservative pollsters, like Rasmussen reports, if the election were held today, Obama would win with 347 electoral votes to 191 for Romney.

[I'm a registered democrat ....]

Suuuuuure you are BBA...suuuuure you are...LOL

Thank you for being truthful!!! There are not to many people who are about the truth these days!!

Now, lets get REAL, "MITT" is NOT a Christian name....also it is Not "MITTS" real first name,...his given, real first name, is "WILLARD", and THAT is not a Christian name,either...so, WHAT the heck is he ?

I recall an old Movie about a RAT named Willard, which was owned by a mentally ill child....did his folks feel that their son is mentally ill, and so name him after a RAT ? Or was Mitt/Willard a ratty little boy ?

He is allegedly named after J. Willard Marriot; he spent many years on the hotel chain's audit committee and, as chairman, got their taxes down to 6.8% through tax code manipulations and ultimate avoidance.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-02-22/romney-as-auditing-chairman-saw-marriott-son-of-boss-tax-shelter-defy-irs.html

I am just curious why the MSM keeps touting these delegate numbers that are clearly not true. Last weekend Paul won most of the delegates in Maine and Nevada. MSM should be subtracting them from Romneys totals. Paul also has the majority so far in Missouri, Minnesota, Louisiana, Washington, Colorado, and Alaska. Subtract those from the totals also, and add them to Paul.

Five state wins and a nomination from the floor of the RNC.

Ron Paul 2012

Bennie...I agree with Mickey....You say you are a Dema and Aralee says an independent....and you won't vote Obama despite being dem and independent................Tooooo Funny...the old false claim of not voting for your party whine. A gazillion posts Bennie of yours all anti Dems and Obama....Try something more original, this is not Fox news here where the gullible tune in for dose of no reality........

Sorry, I forgot Iowa Paul also won. For Iowa, it is interesting since he is the third candidate to win the state.

So far as I can tell, romney isn't even popular with the republicans. Now obama, popular is not a word that I would associate with him either.

Vote for the lesser of two evils or vote for a winner, Ron Paul 2012!!!

Sweep my a--, who was his competitor--Ron Paul??

To funny ..the republicans must be having a fit being stuck with this lying loser ! All the jobs he sent out of the USA was just un American ! And all the pension funds they stole after shutting down the "American business's ..His threats to end social security and medicare ..while building up the military so his wealthy friends get the no bid service contracts .

Mitt couldn't beat McLame last time around....McLame couldn't beat Obama...and somehow....Romney, (who BTW, is an Obama clone) a man with more baggage than an air terminal...is somehow gonna rise up and beat Obama?Sorry...nominating Romney will assure anther 4 years of business as usual with Obama. If in the tiny, tiny chance he did win against Obama...it's still gonna be another 4 years of business as usual....

I am a Conservative, Republican...and I can figure that out....

There is a bright side though..the convention is comming...and I see suprises comming....

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩☆ ۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

I'm voting for Ron Paul and I approved this message.

you can do whatever you want, prez Obama will win a second term. You just have a sit and watch. it is in the scripture. Haters

The "young voters" are being sent to debtors prison by the insane generational DEBT Obama is imposing on them and their children and their children's children. And he expects their vote?

If you don't understand what has happened in Greece, pay attention....you'll get another chance to see runaway govt. spending bring a state to it's knees when California defaults on it DEBT. Coming soon.

Wake up my liberal friends. Mitt Romney is exactly the right man at the right time in our history to turn around this mess. Believe in America.

WOW .. that was really unexpected ... I was sure he could not possibly win .. he was such an underdog ever since Santorum dropped out ..

What an idiot and you clowns will vote for this moron.

WHO THE HELL ELSE WOULD WIN?

bigben,

I would expect nothing less from a Rasmussen Report.

ok, lets see how this would work with republicans in the oval office. With Bush..we had an unpaid for war that got little done. We had big tax breaks for his wealthy friends and big business. We lost thousands of jobs . With Obama at least we have not lost even more jobs..have grown some..not great but way much better than republican Bush. Would it be better with another republican..if so how ? Already they are pushing for huge tax breaks for the wealthy...cutting anything that helps the citizens of this country..the middle class, the poor and those on social security. Cutting even more from education..and wanting to place those in collage with even more debt to graduate..unless of course you are very wealthy.

This country was not founded for the benefit of a few, elite, it was founded for us all...however that seems not to be the case anymore. Our constitution is being cut apart by the supreame court..our politicans are much more interesdted in protecting their wealthy friends. Our tax money is wasted by a congress who accepts huge amounts of funding from lobbyist to do their bidding..I have to wonder when the real citizens of this country finally stand up for all our rights...rather than the rights of a very few.

I wonder what percentage of registered voters actually voted in these primaries.

Pedstrian in sf .... I kept running totals 4 years ago (every 4 years its gone down) and it was the smallest bit over 7% as a whole for the nation... Right out of the gate this time, I mentioned on here "Why did Iowa only show a little over 2% had voted when 4 years before Iowa had leaned closer to 12% and Iowa has a very active system.. Guess we now know after the totals of real votes are counted that Ron did win and I would guess the media aided in throwing away Americans votes in the earlier beauty pagent and reported false numbers to trick Americans during the most holy of all American functions.. get pissed..

LOL have you look at the polls a sitting president typically has a double didget lead at this point in the race and oboma is 2 points behind lol loser by a lot !!!

Honesty

You are right .

Check my post # 1.2

I care, do not count your eggs yet. Obama has not delivered his promises from "08 campaign. who will vote for him in 2012? go figure !

I find myself a bit intrigued by these numbers....not so sure this will be a "one man race" after all.

I voted for Obama in the last election but he won't be getting my vote this time. We need to focus on cutting the debt not adding to it.

Yep ....

Obama's poll numbers are plummeting fast ....

Obama should just drop out now ....

Toyota---take a look at the polls this week...Obozo is behind in pretty much all of them, and today he is 5 points down behind Romney...Obozo's losing it, and desperately trying to stop the free-fall! Oh Obozo's going to lose this one big, and I hope he goes back to Chicago just in time to deal with the anger there over the unemployment rate, Rahm's iron fist over the city, and all of the corruption that is the state of Illinois!

Clearly the poll numbers are a direct indictment of the Obama administrations lack of effort for the country. Obama has not lead this nation, instead he has played the blame game and the race card. A leader like Regan that had 8 years of Democrat control of the House, and 2 in the Senate got business done for the nation. Obama is a street thug with no leadership experience, and it shows. Obama is going down, and he has no one to blame but himself.

National polls have no meaning whatsoever.

The only poll numbers that matter are the statewide polls in swing states, and Obama leads in every swing state except Missouri. On the electoral map, Obama's lead is insurmountable. Romney has no viable path to 270, and that's the only way we elect presidents.

Obama will win quite handily.

Time to start thinking about 2016, right wing-nuts

bolsen,

Keep dreaming, Obama will be your president until January 20, 2017. Obama leads in the following swing states; VA, PA, OH, NC, WI, FL and this list goes on. If he wins only 2 of them, he secures 270. Here's how it looks right now, based on just conservative pollster, Rasmussen Reports data;

Romney: 191 electoral votes

Obama: 347 and wins second term.

Obozo does not lead in Florida...and as Florida goes, so goes the nation.

One and Done, BYE BYE Barry!!!!!!!!! Even Soros crooked diabold voting machines can't save you. Don't F^ck with The republic of the US. Also good bye to Janet, Little Timmy, Beholder. All treasonous criminals.

RON PAUL 2012

Maybe Romney better focus more on trying to get a real win somewhere besides bought media heads that divide us with misleading storys.

So far we have had 11 state conventions and Romney lost them all to Ron Paul with more to come.

RNC Rule 38 makes all his primary bound delegates the media claims as bound,,, unbound, and they aint voting Romney either. He's going from first to last in a big hurry now that the states are officially being counted. Media cant hide it for much longer... Bye bye Romney.. You were never constitutionally eligible under article 2 to be running for President in the first place anyways.. You have to be a second generation American to be a general or commander in chief and you aint it.

This election is just getting started. 3 months to go.

Delegate RP2012 To the White House

bolsen,

Incorrect. Even the Fox News poll has Obama leading in Florida, 45% to 43%, and if Fox says Obama is ahead by two points, the reality is that he must be much farther ahead than that. Also, Florida is not even a must win for Obama. The president has a solid lead in PA, VA and OH, put those three together and Obama has secured 278 electoral votes, and thus, reelection. Hell, you can even take Virginia out of the equation and if Obama wins Iowa, where again, he is leading, Obama wins 271 to 267. Also, Florida does not always go with the winner, in 1992 G.H.W. Bush won Florida and Bill Clinton won the election.

The point here is the President Obama has several viable and probable paths to 270, Romney has no viable path to 270.

There are so many people who feel that the polls are incorrect and Romney is winning something (Anything). Good luck with that!! Some polls had Mccain winning by 5 points and he shut down his campaign at 9pm or 9:30pm.

President Obama did a good a good job , not a perfect one but a good job and the haters really dont want to admit it. This country was screwed and everyone blames President Obama, sad isnt it. There is a reason why the polls are not a good tool nowadays but let them hope!!

Nobody who has lost 2 out of 3, Ohio, Pennsylvania, or Florida, has gone on to win the Presidency. Obama has Pennsylvania sewn up. Needs 1 of the 2 remaining states.

I agree with Virginia Dem, however I believe the electorial vote will be closer but not much closer.

The media has a vested interest in people staying interested in the Presidential race. They will show the poll numbers being close.

Watch where the 2 parties set-up their victory parties. If Obama reserves a park that holds 1 million people and Romney reserves a hotel bar room that packs in 100 (like McCain did), my bet is that Obama wins.

Care4mycountry,

Funny how you see nothing at all about it in the MSM isn't it. Don't even get me started on the Delegate counts they are publishing. Here is the only decent source for the true delegate count I have found.

http://www.thereal2012delegatecount.com/

Thanks for the link 96ws6, I've been trying to find one.

Thank You Rick!!

Mitt Romney 2012/2016

Really? Can you name even one substantial policy that would change with a Romney administration?

For my part, I think we need wholesale change. I support the only candidate that has support across the political spectrum...Dr. Ron Paul.

All the gaggle of GOP clowns have offered up is 'beat Obama'. THEN what? Not ONE of these losers has come up with anything more tangible than a moon base. But their loyal toadies will support them because....they're toadies.

Rick---Anyone smart is voting for Romney because he's smart...far smarter than Obozo ever was. Romney has created success that Obozo could only dream of. Let's just revisit the fact that Romney graduated Harvard with law and business degrees, married with 2 children, in the time that Obozo only did one. Romney graduated with his bachelors as valedictorian...Obozo is too ashamed to show his grades. Obozo was too busy clowning around with the weather underground group, learning about socialism...which he is very big on. Communism is the tree...and socialism is just a branch on that tree. Communism is the counterfeit of religion. Never fool yourself about that simple fact and the works of all those Obozo has surrounded himself with. This election is about "One nation under God" or is this nation going to go against the founding fathers and outlaw God. This election is about E Pluribus Unum, or are we going to allow Obozo to divide this nation by pitting the races against each other, and creating class warfare. This is a simple choice and Obozo has not led this nation down a path of freedom, he has pulled this nation down into the mud, muck and mire, with every man woman and child fighting for their home and food. Shame on him for the number of Americans he has put out of work while he plays golf and plots his next campaign speech. I've got 5 votes in my household being cast as much against him as they are being cast in strong support of Romney!

obama only needed one plan and that was to say change over and over again. no real plan just that he would change things. it was like his teleprompter got stuck in a loop. ad in the fact he does not like the constitution and wanted a fundamental change , ops there it is again, of America.

Actually Romney is a Harvard graduate with a degree in economics, perhaps you are saying that Harvard doesn't educate it's students well? Seems to me Obama went to Harvard.

bolsen,

It is ironic that you chose to use the phrase "E pluribus unum." You know that means (roughly) "Out of many, one," which essentially expresses the desires of the founding fathers to build a country where anyone could feel welcome no matter what religion or belief system they used. That was the country's motto for nearly 200 years until 1957. Then there was a wave of christian actions to turn the United States into a christian nation. While some coins in the south had the term "In God we Trust," as far back as the 1870's, it wasn't until the 1950's that it got on our federal dollars, got injected into the pledge of allegiance, and replaced "E pluribus unum," as our national motto. I'm all for people believing in God. Most of the ones that I know that do are very nice people. But you just pointed out the one horrible thing that religions and religious people can do. You said "this election is about one nation under god." No. No election is ever about creating an official religion. We've managed to run a pretty successful country since 1776 without forcing a religion and the views of a religion on the people (although in reality, there's been plenty of that. How many laws have NO moral implication other than the religious one.) Since 1789, the Constitution has protected our right to believe anything we want, or nothing if we so choose. You can't have a christian-only nation until you destroy the constitution.

ChemPhD

That is the smartest comment i've heard all day. I tip my hat to you.

Cheers to ChemPhD

Geno

I'm with you on that! All I can hear about is them saying get Obama out of the White House. I'm yet to hear what their alternative policies are and how they'll benefit us

I am glad to see there are more intellegent people posting then idots. I guess there will always be a few such as Cynthias point who is so dumb that she has everything totally backass wards. Romney is a lot more honest than anyone here knows. I think he will make a good president and conservative at that. Got to get the Muslem out of office at all cost or we are not loyal dedicated Americans.

Romney is not smart - he's a dangerous puppet backed by wealth, the GOP who badly want their government back, and a powerful church. Any questions? (I thought I already posted this)

Aim, you absolutely correct!!!

Norquist just bragged how repubs just need a guy to sign documents....why?...because they just need a yes man for the rich corporations and millionaires to sign laws to take away the rest of the money they did not get. Privatize Soc Sec, Medicare, the Post office...all that money sitting there and they want to crash the econmy again to get every last penny.

Romney the talking head strawman, Norquist and Corporations are people too......Really? Still waiting to see the corporation birth certificate Romney along with your hidden Swiss bank account where you keep your money to avoid paying taxes. By the way...the repub chosen talking point fot I am dem not voting for Obama....so funny when repubs have talking points chosen for them, then handed out, then they all repeat the same nonsense.

Do search on Cheney word list to see the daily list of words repubs hand out to spin....Too funny! Chosen words to make their puppets dance.

Obama/Biden 2012

@Aim-2173802...how does a "not smart" man become very wealthy. Why don't you enlighten us. Mitt is a self-made millionaire and not a silver spooned babe. At least we can get someone in there that is business savvy, not a spender of hard earned tax payers' dollars. Get religion/church out of your thought process.

@bolsen, your lack of education is truly astounding starting with the deliberate misuse of the President 's ( and yes also yours) name, extremely childish on your part. You can't possibly site any sort of references can you? If you can why don't you? What exactly do you know about the "weather underground group" and any connection with the President?

And do tell what does god have to do with the government of this country? Please get back to the rest of us as soon as you are able to sort through some kind of argument but with references.

tod, no Romney is not a self made millionaire. His father was quite wealthy. And, if he is a self made millionaire it was off of the backs of the workers he so destroyed.

And, tod, he does spend the hard earned tax payers dollars by not paying the taxes. Why does he have a off shore bank account and how many do we not know about.

"Get religion/church out of your thought process". Why, why do you think there were two Mormons running for the office of the President of the United States. The Mormon Church not involved? Really?

Maybe Romney better focus more on trying to get a real win somewhere besides the bought media.

So far we have had 11 state conventions and Romney lost them all to Ron Paul with more to come.

RNC Rule 38 makes all his primary bound delegates the media claims as bound,,, unbound as well like they have always truly been, and they aint voting Romney either. Those primary wins are packed with real votes for Ron Paul.. Romneys going from first to last in a big hurry now that the states are officially being counted. Media cant hide it for much longer... Bye bye Romney.. You were never constitutionally eligible under article 2 to be running for President in the first place anyways.. gotta be a second generation American to be comander in cheif or a top general and you aint it.

RP2012 to the White House.

This election is just getting started.

Mitt is a self-made millionaire and not a silver spooned babe.

Not quite. His father, George Romney, was CEO of American Motors, as well as Governor of Michigan, and a multi-millionaire. Not just a "silver spoon", Mitt had his gold plated. Granted, he did manage to parlay his substantial inheritance into even more millions - but he's not exactly "self-made".

At least we can get someone in there that is business savvy,

Savvy at making money, not so savvy at making jobs. His main strategy was to buy control of a company, offshore jobs and lay off people to temporarily reduce costs, then use that temporary profit boost to borrow large sums of money. He'd charge the company millions in "management fees", then spin it off, laden with debt, short on inventory, and lacking employees. Not surprisingly, those businesses usually ended up bankrupt.

Amazingly, there were some companies that survived that corporate raiding, Romney is now touting them as his successes. They are the exceptions, not the rule.

not a spender of hard earned tax payers' dollars.

Um, apparently you didn't hear how he "rescued" the Salt Lake Winter Olympics. He hired a lobbying firm to lobby Congress, and got several hundred million dollars from Uncle Sam. That's certainly rates as being a big spender of "hard earned taxpayers dollars", even if you think the Olympics was worth it.

If Romney manages to get the Presidency, he'll call for tax cuts for the rich (and himself), "balance the taxes" by increasing taxes on the working poor, and of course, more spending on corporate welfare for his rich buddies. It's simply a more extreme version of what Bush Jr. did, with a predictably more extreme result. When the country needs an FDR, the Republicans are offering a Herbert Hoover.

One wonders how many government jobs Romney would try to offshore.

Bye bye Romney.. You were never constitutionally eligible under article 2 to be running for President in the first place anyways.. gotta be a second generation American to be comander in cheif or a top general and you aint it.

As much as I dislike Romney, I have to say you're full of it, Care4. Unlike the average teapartier, I've actually read and understood the Constitution, and there is nothing in there about "2nd generation" It only requires that candidates be a "natural born citizen", be at least 35 years of age, and have been a resident of the US for at least 14 years. Just like Obama, Romney meets those qualifications.

You know what? I can not for the life of me understand people! How many times have we been here? We are at the same exact point we were at on every other election..... There IS No Real Choice... Period! We could have a great man running this country in 2013 (Ron Paul) but Nope... everyone must like the same old crap! I do not care what you think of the man because there is one truth that No One Can Deny.... Ron Paul is an Honest Man and Honest Politician and I think that is what we need right now! He has always voted strictly Constitution and if that is wrong then we are in real trouble! We might as well throw out the book because the others aren't using it and they do everything they can to get around it or ignore it all together! I am tired of the Lies and doing anything to get elected! How many more times do you people want to go through this? Ron Paul was the first man to come around that we could believe in! Who cares which one of these guys wins Romney and Obama are on the same team and if you cannot see that them you are all blind!

Dear cm6969

You nailed it.. Natural Born is obviously not what you had thought or you would have realized it as second generation.

When developing a new U.S. Constitution for the United States of America, Alexander Hamilton submitted a suggested draft on June 18, 1787. In addition, he also submitted to the framers a proposal for the qualification requirements in Article II as to the necessary Citizenship status for the office of President and Commander in Chief of the Military.

Alexander Hamilton’s suggested presidential eligibility clause:

No person shall be eligible to the office of President of the United States unless he be now a Citizen of one of the States, or hereafter be born a Citizen of the United States.

Many of the founders and framers expressed fear of foreign influence on the person who would in the future serve as President of the United States since this particular office was singularly and uniquely powerful under the proposed new Constitution. This question of foreign influence was elevated when John Jay considered the additional power granted to the Presidency during times of war, that is when he serves as Commander in Chief of the military. Jay felt strongly that whoever served as President and Commander In Chief during times of war must owe their sole allegiance to and only to the United States.

Because this fear of foreign influence on a future President and Commander in Chief was strongly felt, Jay took it upon himself to draft a letter to General George Washington, the presiding officer of the Constitutional Convention, recommending/hinting that the framers should strengthen the Citizenship requirements for the office of the President.

John Jay was an avid reader and proponent of natural law and particularly Vattel’s codification of natural law and the Law of Nations. In his letter to Washington he said that the Citizenship requirement for the office of the commander of our armies should contain a “strong check” against foreign influence and he recommended to Washington that the command of the military be open only to a “natural born Citizen”. Thus Jay did not agree that simply being a “born Citizen” was sufficient enough protection from foreign influence in the singular most powerful office in the new form of government. Rather, Jay wanted to make sure the President and Commander In Chief owed his allegiance solely to the United States of America. He wanted another adjective added to the eligibility clause, i.e., ‘natural’. And that word ‘natural’ goes to the Citizenship status of one’s parents via natural law.

Below is the relevant change to Hamilton’s proposed language detailed in Jay’s letter written to George Washington dated 25 July 1787:

Permit me to hint, whether it would be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government; and to declare expressly that the Command in Chief of the American army shall not be given to nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen.

See a transcription of Jay’s letter to Washington at this link.

Upon receiving Jay’s letter, General Washington passed on the recommendation to the convention where it was adopted in the final draft. Thus Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution, the fundamental law of our nation reads:

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of U.S. Constitution as adopted 17 September 1787:

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

There you have the crux of the issue now before the nation and the answer.

Hamilton’s suggested presidential citizenship eligibility requirement was that a Citizen simply had to be ‘born a Citizen’ of the USA, i.e., a Citizen by Birth. But that citizenship status was overwhelmingly rejected by the framers as insufficient. Instead of allowing any person “born a citizen” to be President and Commander of the military, the framers chose to adopt the more stringent requirement recommended by John Jay, i.e., requiring the Citizen to be a “natural born Citizen“, to block any chance of future Presidents owing allegiance to other foreign nations or claims on their allegiance at birth from becoming President and Commander of the Military.. Therefore, the President of the United States must be a “natural born citizen” with unity of citizenship and sole allegiance to the United States at birth. [SOURCE CREDIT]

So why do we keep hearing about the President only needing to be “born a citizen”? Well, let’s start with the fallacy of the 14th amendment trumping Article II -

2. The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was adopted 9 July 1868:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

The intent and purpose of the (14th) amendment was to provide equal citizenship to all Americans either born on U.S. soil or naturalized therein and subject to the jurisdiction thereof. It does not grant “natural born Citizen” status. It only confers “citizen” status, as that is the exact word used by the Amendment itself and that is the same word that appears in Article I, II, III, and IV of the Constitution. It just conveys the status of “citizen,” and as we learned from how the Framers handled the Naturalization Acts of 1790 and 1795, being a “citizen” does not necessarily mean that one is a “natural born Citizen.”

The Fourteenth Amendment only tells us who may become members of the community called the United States, i.e., those born on U.S. soil or naturalized and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are U.S. citizens. The amendment was needed because under Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393 (1856), slaves and their descendents, whether free or not, were not considered as being members of that community even though born on U.S. soil and unlike the American Indians subject to the jurisdiction thereof. But the amendment only allowed these slaves and their descendents to become a member of the U.S. community by making them U.S. citizens. Once those persons or anybody else (e.g. Wong Kim Ark) so became a member of the U.S. community (became a U.S. citizen by birth on U.S. soil or through naturalization), then that person could join with another U.S. citizen and procreate a child on U.S. soil who would then be an Article II "natural born Citizen."

Hence, during the Founding, the original citizens created the new Constitutional Republic. Through Article II’s grandfather clause, they were allowed to be President. Their posterity would be the "natural born Citizens" who would perpetuate the new nation and its values. These “natural born Citizens,” born after the adoption of the Constitution, would be the future Presidents.

Subsequently, a “natural born Citizen” was created by someone first becoming a member of the United States (a U.S. citizen) by birth on its soil to a mother and father who were U.S. citizens or if not so born then through naturalization, and then joining with another similarly created U.S. citizen to procreate a child on U.S. soil. The product of that union would be an Article II “natural born Citizen.”

After the Fourteenth Amendment, it became sufficient to be a citizen if one were merely born on U.S. soil or naturalized and subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. That U.S. citizen would then procreate with another similarly created U.S citizen and produce a “natural born Citizen.”

As we can see, becoming a U.S. citizen is only the first step in the process of creating a “natural born Citizen.” The second step is the two U.S citizens procreating a child on U.S. soil. It is these “natural born Citizens” who can someday be President or Vice President of the United States. Stated differently, a President must be a second generation American citizen by both U.S. citizen parents. A Senator or Representative can be a first generation American citizen by naturalization or birth. It is the extra generation carried by a President which assures the American people that he/she is born with attachment and allegiance only to the United States. [SOURCE CREDIT]

Now, let’s take a look at the Godfather of the 14th amendment and see what he had to say about “born a citizen” vs “natural born citizen” –

3. Rep. John Bingham, Principal Framer of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

During a debate (see pg. 2791) regarding a certain Dr. Houard, who had been incarcerated in Spain, the issue was raised on the floor of the House of Representatives as to whether the man was a US citizen. Representative Bingham (of Ohio), stated on the floor:

As to the question of citizenship I am willing to resolve all doubts in favor of a citizen of the United States. That Dr. Houard is a natural-born citizen of the United States there is not room for the shadow of a doubt. He was born of naturalized parents within the jurisdiction of the United States, and by the express words of the Constitution, as amended to-day, he is declared to all the world to be a citizen of the United States by birth. (The term “to-day”, as used by Bingham, means “to date”. Obviously, the Constitution had not been amended on April 25, 1872.)

Notice that Bingham declares Houard to be a “natural-born citizen” by citing two factors – born of citizen parents in the US.

John Bingham, aka “father of the 14th Amendment”, was an abolitionist congressman from Ohio who prosecuted Lincoln’s assassins. Ten years earlier, he stated on the House floor:

All from other lands, who by the terms of [congressional] laws and a compliance with their provisions become naturalized, are adopted citizens of the United States; all other persons born within the Republic, of parents owing allegiance to no other sovereignty, are natural born citizens. Gentleman can find no exception to this statement touching natural-born citizens except what is said in the Constitution relating to Indians. - (Cong. Globe, 37th, 2nd Sess., 1639 (1862))

Then in 1866, Bingham also stated on the House floor:

Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.... - (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866))

According to Justice Black, Bingham’s words uttered on the floor of the House are the most reliable source. Bingham made three statements, none of them challenged on the Floor, which indicate that a natural born citizen is a person born on US soil to parents who were US citizens. [SOURCE CREDIT]

And of course we’ve all heard the Supreme Court has never ruled on or defined what a “natural born citizen” is, but that is a folly –

4. Supreme Court cases that cite “natural born Citizen” as one born on U.S. soil to citizen parents:

The Venus, 12 U.S. 8 Cranch 253 253 (1814)

Vattel, who, though not very full to this point, is more explicit and more satisfactory on it than any other whose work has fallen into my hands, says: “The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives or indigenes are those born in the country of parents who are citizens. Society not being able to subsist and to perpetuate itself but by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.

Shanks v. Dupont, 28 U.S. 3 Pet. 242 242 (1830)

Ann Scott was born in South Carolina before the American revolution, and her father adhered to the American cause and remained and was at his death a citizen of South Carolina. There is no dispute that his daughter Ann, at the time of the Revolution and afterwards, remained in South Carolina until December, 1782. Whether she was of age during this time does not appear. If she was, then her birth and residence might be deemed to constitute her by election a citizen of South Carolina. If she was not of age, then she might well be deemed under the circumstances of this case to hold the citizenship of her father, for children born in a country, continuing while under age in the family of the father, partake of his national character as a citizen of that country. Her citizenship, then, being prima facie established, and indeed this is admitted in the pleadings, has it ever been lost, or was it lost before the death of her father, so that the estate in question was, upon the descent cast, incapable of vesting in her? Upon the facts stated, it appears to us that it was not lost and that she was capable of taking it at the time of the descent cast.

Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393 (1857)

The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As society cannot perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their parents, and succeed to all their rights.' Again: 'I say, to be of the country, it is necessary to be born of a person who is a citizen; for if he be born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country. . . .

Minor v. Happersett , 88 U.S. 162 (1875)

The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first.

United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)

At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children, born in a country of parents who were its citizens, became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.

Perkins v. Elg, 307 U.S. 325 (1939),

was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States that a child born in the United States to naturalized parents on U.S. soil is a natural born citizen and that the child's natural born citizenship is not lost if the child is taken to and raised in the country of the parents' origin, provided that upon attaining the age of majority, the child elects to retain U.S. citizenship "and to return to the United States to assume its duties." Not only did the court rule that she did not lose her native born Citizenship but it upheld the lower courts decision that she is a "natural born Citizen of the United States" because she was born in the USA to two naturalized U.S. Citizens.

"But the Secretary of State, according to the allegation of the bill of complaint, had refused to issue a passport to Miss Elg 'solely on the ground that she had lost her native born American citizenship.' The court below, properly recognizing the existence of an actual controversy with the defendants [307 U.S. 325, 350] (Aetna Life Ins. Co. v. Haworth, 300 U.S. 227 , 57 S.Ct. 461, 108 A.L.R. 1000), declared Miss Elg 'to be a natural born citizen of the United States' (99 F.2d 414) and we think that the decree should include the Secretary of State as well as the other defendants. The decree in that sense would in no way interfere with the exercise of the Secretary's discretion with respect to the issue of a passport but would simply preclude the denial of a passport on the sole ground that Miss Elg had lost her American citizenship."

The Supreme Court of the United States has never applied the term “natural born citizen” to any other category than “those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof”. [SOURCE CREDIT]

Let’s take a look at the numerous attempts congress has made over the years to change the definition of Article II even though any educated American knows that to change the constitution in any shape or form a constitutional amendment is required. -

5. Attempts to redefine or amend Article II “natural born Citizen” Clause of the U.S. Constitution:

The effort to remove the natural-born citizen requirement from the U.S. Constitution actually began in 1975 – when Democrat House Rep. Jonathon B. Bingham, [NY-22] introduced a constitutional amendment under H.J.R. 33: which called for the outright removal of the natural-born requirement for president found in Article II of the U.S. Constitution – “Provides that a citizen of the United States otherwise eligible to hold the Office of President shall not be ineligible because such citizen is not a natural born citizen.”

Bingham’s first attempt failed and he resurrected H.J.R. 33: in 1977 under H.J.R. 38:, again failing to gain support from members of congress. Bingham was a Yale Law grad and member of the secret society Skull and Bones, later a lecturer at Columbia Law and thick as thieves with the United Nations via his membership in the Council on Foreign Relations.

Bingham’s work lay dormant for twenty-six years when it was resurrected again in 2003 as Democrat members of Congress made no less than eight (8) attempts in twenty-two (22) months, to either eliminate the natural-born requirement, or redefine natural-born to accommodate Barack Hussein Obama II in advance of his rise to power. The evidence is right in the congressional record…

1. On June 11, 2003 Democrat House member Vic Snyder [AR-2] introduced H.J.R 59: in the 108th Congress – “Constitutional Amendment – Makes a person who has been a citizen of the United States for at least 35 years and who has been a resident within the United States for at least 14 years eligible to hold the office of President or Vice President.” – Co-Sponsors: Rep Conyers, John, Jr. [MI-14]; Rep Delahunt, William D. [MA-10]; Rep Frank, Barney [MA-4]; Rep Issa, Darrell E. [CA-49]; Rep LaHood, Ray [IL-18]; Rep Shays, Christopher [CT-4].

2. On September 3, 2003, Rep. John Conyers [MI] introduced H.J.R. 67: – “Constitutional Amendment – Makes a person who has been a citizen of the United States for at least 20 years eligible to hold the office of President.” – Co-Sponsor Rep Sherman, Brad [CA-27]

3. On February 25, 2004, Republican Senator Don Nickles [OK] attempted to counter the growing Democrat onslaught aimed at removing the natural-born citizen requirement for president in S.2128: – “Natural Born Citizen Act – Defines the constitutional term “natural born citizen,” to establish eligibility for the Office of President” – also getting the definition of natural born citizen wrong. – Co-sponsors Sen Inhofe, James M. [OK]; Sen Landrieu, Mary L. [LA]

4. On September 15, 2004 – as Barack Obama was about to be introduced as the new messiah of the Democrat Party at the DNC convention, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher [CA-46] introduced H.J.R. 104: – “Constitutional Amendment – “Makes eligible for the Office of the President non-native born persons who have held U.S. citizenship for at least 20 years and who are otherwise eligible to hold such Office.” – No co-sponsors.

5. Again on January 4, 2005, Rep John Conyers [MI] introduced H.J.R. 2: to the 109th Congress – “Constitutional Amendment – Makes a person who has been a citizen of the United States for at least 20 years eligible to hold the Office of President.” – Co-Sponsor Rep Sherman, Brad [CA-27]

6. Rep Dana Rohrabacher [CA-46] tries again on February 1, 2005 in H.J.R. 15: – “Constitutional Amendment – Makes eligible for the Office of the President non-native born persons who have held U.S. citizenship for at least 20 years and who are otherwise eligible to hold such Office.” – No Co-Sponsor

7. On April 14, 2005, Rep Vic Snyder [AR-2] tries yet again with H.J.R. 42: – “Constitutional Amendment – Makes a person who has been a citizen of the United States for at least 35 years and who has been a resident within the United States for at least 14 years eligible to hold the office of President or Vice President.” – Co-Sponsor Rep Shays, Christopher [CT-4]

8. All of these efforts failing in committee and the 2008 presidential election looming with an unconstitutional candidate leading the DNC ticket, Democrat Senator Claire McCaskill, [MO] tries to attach the alteration to a military bill in S.2678: on February 28, 2008 – “Children of Military Families Natural Born Citizen Act – Declares that the term “natural born Citizen” in article II, section 1, clause 5 of the Constitution, dealing with the criteria for election to President of the United States, includes any person born to any U.S. citizen while serving in the active or reserve components of the U.S. armed forces.” – Co-Sponsors DNC Presidential candidate Sen Clinton, Hillary Rodham [NY]; DNC Presidential candidate Sen Obama, Barack [IL]; Sen Menendez, Robert [NJ]; Sen Coburn, Tom [OK] – (This was the first effort to also assure that GOP Presidential candidate Sen. John McCain [AZ] would be cleared to run against the DNC primary victor.)

From June 11, 2003 to February 28, 2008, there had been eight (8) different congressional attempts to alter Article II – Section I – Clause V – natural born citizen requirements for president in the U.S. Constitution, all of them failing in committee — All of it taking placing during Barack Obama’s rise to political power and preceding the November 2008 presidential election.

In politics, there are no coincidences… not of this magnitude.

Finally on April 10, 2008, unable to alter or remove the natural born citizen requirement to clear the way for Barack Obama, the U.S. Senate acts to shift focus before the election, introducing and passing S.R.511: – declaring Sen. John McCain a “natural born citizen” eligible to run for and hold the office of president. There was never any honest doubt about McCain, the son of a U.S. Navy Commander. The Sponsor of the resolution is Democrat Senator Claire McCaskill, [MO]

S.R.511 States that John Sidney McCain, III, is a “natural born Citizen” under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States. S.R511 passed by a 99-0 unanimous consent of the Senate, with only John McCain not voting. The basis was – “Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens;” – a condition not met by Barack Hussein Obama II. – Co-Sponsors DNC Presidential candidate Sen Clinton, Hillary Rodham [NY]; DNC Presidential candidate Sen Obama, Barack [IL]; Sen Leahy, Patrick J. [VT]; Sen Webb, Jim [VA]; Sen Coburn, Tom [OK] (They had made certain that John McCain would run against Barack Obama)

However, in the McCain resolution is also this language – “Whereas the Constitution of the United States requires that, to be eligible for the Office of the President, a person must be a `natural born Citizen’ of the United States; – Whereas the term `natural born Citizen’, as that term appears in Article II, Section 1, is not defined in the Constitution of the United States;”

The U.S. Constitution is not a dictionary. The definition of “is” is not in the constitution either. Yet this is the text that would later be issued in Congressional Research Service talking points memos distributed to members of congress, to protect an individual that all members of congress know and understand to be an “unconstitutional” resident of the people’s White House – Barack Hussein Obama II.

Once again, as the political left was unable to alter the U.S. Constitution by way of legitimate constitutional process, they resorted to altering the constitution via precedent setting, in short, knowingly electing and getting away with seating an unconstitutional president in order to alter Article II requirements for the office via breaking those constitutional requirements.

The press would not ask any questions and the American people were already too ill-informed of their constitution to know or too distracted by daily life to care. The press would provide the cover, swearing to the lies of an unconstitutional administration put in power by criminal actors focused only on their lofty political agenda of forever altering the American form of government.

The people would be caught up in a steady diet of daily assaults on their individual freedom and liberty and overlook the most obvious constitutional crisis in American history, the seating of an unconstitutional and anti-American president. [SOURCE CREDIT]

Ron Paul wants a pony.

Martin Bashir acts like a non American ....

He loves Obama and all of his negativity ....

Don't get all huffy with us because Obama's poll numbers are plummeting ....

Kim, I find msnbc very entertaining as much as you find Fox appalling! lol!

I'm getting to be a conspiracy theorist in my old age. Romney's group continues to pull the media in the Republican circles. Why shouldn't money pull the media in Democrat circles as well? Are Americans really sheep?

Not all of us are 4eyes4u. Some of us are actually hoping for a return to this little thing called the constitution and the person championing that return and wishing that more people would actually read it and understand what liberty and fiscal responsibility really mean.

Bob, remember the Bush admistration! The gave him everything he asked for, and we had a surplus, left by a democratic President. You got the nerve to speak about fiscal responsiblity. Wake-up!!

Rose

Remember it was a Republican Congress. Also remember the DOT COM recession? How about 9/11? That is where the Surplus went.

honesty101,

Two words: Magic Underwear. LOL

The American people won't fall for the baptism after death trick. :-)

they fell for a President Obama who belonged to a super racist church with a pastor that is the man responsible for bringing Obama to God.....and that Obama had no idea even after all his years of going that it was like that..

i believe the American people don't relay care what beliefs you have as long as you do not force them on others.

You are one of those people who blame everything on Our President! You all won't even let him go and worship in peace. You can' stand the truth and who is the biggest racist, hypicritical, liars, than the people in the United States. All this contravesies that is going on is mainly because we have a black President.

Obama is the one who pulled us out of the hole that we are still struggling to get out. The Republicans are the ones who through us under the bus. Have you forgotten. Go on vote for Republicans, you can bet on, you think Bush left us in a mess. We have not seen nothing yet. We would have been further along if the Republicans worked with our President! The do nothing congress; obstructionist!

honesty 101

I recall do you, Romney was required to file a financial disclosure form, (a less detailed requirement than submitting past tax forms) when he filed for president. He argued that he should not have to release his taxes since the disclosure form revealed everything of any importance. Well, the problem is, there were 23 different investment funds shown on his taxes that did not appear on his disclosure form -- and 11 of those were in overseas, confidential banking
centers, conceivably a sign of what he's embarrassed to disclose -- if the
government can prove it was deliberate and not just a careless slip-up. The
biggest concern is his Swiss bank accounts, one of the items not on his
financial disclosure. Mitt had it from 2003 to 2010, when his accountant shut
it down. He closed it in the middle of an amnesty that the IRS had declared for
owners of previously unreported Swiss bank accounts -- if they came clean, they
would not face criminal prosecution for not reporting it in previous years
(which was illegal - plus most weren't paying taxes on that money). Was the
sudden shutdown of Romney's secret Swiss bank account part of this amnesty
program? We can't know unless and until he releases prior returns, and by the
way, he continues to refuse to do provide… Until the former Governor provides
10 years of tax returns, he’s not to be trusted...Even Governor Christe suggeted you disclose the 10 years of back taxes, we're waiting.

@RV Grandpa. Just wait and see the MAGIC take place before your bifocal vision and hear with your hearing aide...PRESIDENT ROMNEY!!! Until then hang on for the ride if you don't expire before then!

Obviously you fell for the "change" motto and now living in an RV! Its gotta suck pa.

tod, no all of us libs are not scared. What are we to be scared about.

Woman, on the other hand, should be pretty afraid if a Republican President gets in and the Congress turn Republican. Why? They will have no rights in a very short time. And their men should be worried also. Can you imagine the woman staying home pregnant all the time. Can you men really afford a dozen children to support by yourself.

Personhood. So the sperm and egg become a person as soon as they met.

What happens when person becomes a living soul with down,heart problems, lung problems. Pre-existing conditions will not be covered.

Remember TP/Republicans are not Pro-Life, they are Pro-Fetus. The living mean nothing to them. If they were Pro-Life they would have to be anti-war.

honesty101 agrees Romney is so wrong for America Obama should have a double didgit lead. Way to go, that is being honest alright! NICE POST PAUL J HURLEY!!

Obama/Biden 2012

REAL NEWS FLASH RON PAUL IS WINNING! He has won 11 states, and he doesnt need to have FAKE BALLOTS passed out to Romney Supporters like ROMNEY supporters where doing in Maine and Nevada to the Ron Paul supporters! Romney is in second place and falling as we speak. Romney is going to lose the nomination and hes scared, There is no such thing as an ex-Ron Paul supporter, chooke to all you nay sayers, CHOKE ON THAT! =D

Breaking great news for Romney and America ....

Tuesday, May 08, 2012

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows Mitt Romney earning 49% of the vote and President Obama attracting 44% support. Three percent (3%) would vote for a third party candidate, while another three percent (3%) are undecided ....

Obama's poll numbers are plummeting fast .... "LOL"

Looks like Mitt 2012 .... "LOL"

And easy too ....

LOL...the election is six months out, you idiot...stop spamming, already.

Take a closer look at the Rasmussen polls, even they still show Obama winning this election.

You have to look at the polling for individual states, and in every single swing state except Missouri, Obama is leading.

We elect presidents solely by means of the Electoral College, and on the electoral map, Obama has a massive, insurmountable lead.

Better than the Obama no plan or spend , spend , spend plan ....

What is the Republican plan for jobs?

What is Romney's plan for jobs?

Kind of funny he hasn't told it yet?

What are you some plant for the Republican party?

Romney doesn't have a plan for job creation, he has a past record of downsizing companies, restructuring them which includes jobs to slave markets, he ran a lean olympics with the help of GOVERNMENT subsidizing. He can run on reasonably low unemployment numbers in Mass. so can several Democratic governors at the time.

He doesn't have a plan.

Romney has a plan for jobs. It is called all of the minimum wage jobs you can handle.Oh I forgot he wants to get rid of minimum wage also. That translates into slave wages.

Romney? Jobs plan? Seriously guys? He's boasted for the past year that he's a former businessman. His job at Bain: to close down companies and industries, to layoff employees and sell off resources. THAT'S HIS BACKGROUND! That is HIS JOBS PLAN for the US, guys! That is what he's done, and is proud of.

Mitt Romney is the best ! dual degrees BUSINESS and LAW ! He wil lead the country with prosperity, create jobs, jobs, jobs, . Go Mitt we willl put you in the White House. Go Mitt. 2012.

That's what the Republicans said in 2010.

Jobs, jobs, jobs

The Republicans have cut 500,000 jobs (in the form of teachers, firefighter, policemen, govt workers)

Republicans are not for you unless you're rich.

So Mittster has degrees...he only uses any education he got to break down companies and sell them off for profit, losing amewrican jobs, killing the economy and he supports the Ryan plan , killing Soc sec, medicare, more tax breaks for the rich while making middle class pay the taxes corp and billionaires should be paying. Meanwhile President OBAMA uses his education to save America from the repliconns who destroyed the economy , killed thousands of our soldiers in Iraq and wounded thousands more while making war profits for their friends. It is how Obama uses his education for americans and not just for the rich.

I think he should pick you ....

No, imagine the SNL parodies with me in them? Sheesh! ; )

Yea ....

But the guys would like it ....

I can see it now, Blonde/Desperate housewife/real housewife of Guadalajara- put a target on my forehead now! In reality, I would like to see a strong, maybe a female, maybe Hispanic or African American semi- conservative male? For the love of God choose with caution. Even the Biden Botox parodies are plain hysterical.

Alright ....

At least you know I would vote for you ....

Word has it Jeb Bush will be Mitt's running mate setting him up to become President when the Cease and Desist order against Romney is revealed after the election but before Romney takes the oath of office.

Wow, this is the first time I've seen someone actually hitting on a woman on the vine. Super creepy, ben.

Or MD, and a very good one at that.

I am an MD. I'd hate to vote for Obama, but there's NO WAY I'm voting for Mitt. Media fraud is one thing. VOTER FRAUD is another.

See policymic.com/article/show?id=7966

I thought Ron Paul was an OB GYN?

4eyes4u,

You're not alone, many Republicans will be just sitting this one out.

Also, yes, Mitt Romney did indeed commit voter fraud in 2010 when he cast a vote for Scott Brown to replace the late Ted Kennedy. Mitt didn't live in Massachusetts at the time (he moved to California) and didn't own property in Massachusetts either. Additionally, he lied on the voter registration form putting an address in the unfinished basement of his son's home as his place of residence. Massachusetts law defines a residence for voter registration purposes as “where a person dwells and which is the center of his domestic, social, and civil life.” Anyone found guilty of committing voter fraud faces up to five years behind bars and a fine of $10,000.

Mitt may even be disqualified as a candidate if Massachusetts decides to prosecute, and don't think being the former Governor of Massachusetts gives him immunity, we've seen recently that several former governors have been put on trial by the states they served.

Mitt will manage our tax dollars a whole lot better ....

You make a good point.......lesser of two evils? How sad.

Obama couldn't fiscally manage a wiener and potato chip cart ....

Well I think Obama has the gift of gab and is a very intelligent man. It comes down to simple things- Promises made vs promises kept, and is the USA on the mend? He said he would be a one term president if he failed, and I think he should be a man of his word.

Obama should even agree with you ....

You're good ....

Srich - I think Bigbenalaska has a crush on you. You seem to be a nice lady. My advice is to nip this in the bud. Haven't seen you lately. Where you been?

ltpro,

It's a good thing then that Obama is going to beat Romney. Looking at the electoral map, Romney doesn't stand a chance. Obama leads in every swing state except Missouri.

The lesser of two evils is still evil.Not a very wise decision.

"Romney hires from Bush Foreign policy team makes up 3/4 of his team" Really? What is your source for this info?

Srich - Google it - Romney's Foreign Policy Team. Just too many articles from all sides to post. I believe the figure is 17 out of 24 at this point. One correction to starsailing, however, they are from both the Bush Sr's and Bush Jr's teams. Scares the crap out of me. If we are going to continue to fight terrorism - which it appears we are - I would rather we continue to hit them with drone's than invade a country and kill or wound thousands of people. Obama has accomplished quite a bit in this arena.

OBAMA 2012!

Romney will bring in John Bolton, and we can get another group of high school kids ready to go into Iran.

Paul,

Actually, Mitt Romney won't bring anyone in from Bush's administration because he's not going to win the election. Obama has a commanding lead on the electoral map.

@ starsailing: I can't see Romney hiring any of Bushes friends. I mean, in the past year, where we've seen what...like 10 or 12 gop candidates, and they all preach how they are so much like Reagan....NOT ONE of them ever mentions Bush jr. None of them seem to want Jr near their campaign. Isn't that odd? The repub clan said he was perfect for years....but when he's out, they don't even remember his name.

I going to question Romney mental state of mind, has he a delusional disorder or at his age has dementia arrived? Neither would be expectable to anyone who consider Romney as creditable Presidential candidate

The only person I know of that Reagan endorsed was Ron Paul.

Take a closer look at the Rasmussen polls, even they still show Obama winning this election.

You have to look at the polling for individual states, and in every single swing state except Missouri, Obama is leading.

We elect presidents solely by means of the Electoral College, and on the electoral map, Obama has a massive, insurmountable lead.

I predict the day after a Mitt Romney victory we will see a huge rally in the stock market, the dow could soar in high triple digits, then we will be on a path to true recovery with jobs, jobs, jobs!!

Romney 2013!!

I predict that both of you are smoking the good stuff. Things are not going to magically fix themselves because Obama is voted out. I think a lot of Republican's are fooling themselves into thing that this will be the case and that we will have a lot of angry and depressed Americans with guns come Fed 1st 2013 either way.

That was pretty funny Geowil, in 2008 the greatest thing that swayed the vote in Obama's favor were first time voters- they really showed up. And people disgusted with the direction the country was headed. To win again Obama has to get those same first time voters to show up -again, and convince people the current direction is a positive one. I think both are iffy at best.

Geowil, I guess we will have to wait and see then! I'm not saying things will magically fix themselves right away but I will tell you, we will be headed for the right path since there will be a lot more enthusiasm knowing we will have a President who believes in fiscal responsibility, is not anti-business and actually believes in capitalism, markets and success without depending on handouts from the Govermnment.

Srich, Obama won by enough of a margin that even if every voter under the age of 22 (all first time voters, some of which voted for McCain) had stayed home, he still would have won.

Also, you people seem to be forgetting how we elect presidents. The sole means by which a president is elected to office is the Electoral College, and on the electoral map, President Obama has a commanding lead. Romney has no viable to 270 electoral votes, Obama has several.

No, despite my hair color I do understand the electoral process. And I won't argue with you, Obama won big in 08. Did you see Biden on the news this morning? "We, (the US) were the problem". After Obama's apology tour now this will hopefully make Americans with an ounce of pride choose country, not candidate.

Mitt Romney doesn't amount to a pimple on Barrack Obama's Ass.

Mitt Romney is the lamest most spineless Presidential candidate from either party in my whole "F"-ing life. He never says anything of any substance or take a hard position on anything. This idiot thinks he can sham his way the Presidency basically saying nothing by nebulous comments like..."Barrack Obama inherited a bad economy..and he made it worse"...He's the equivalent of a grade school child with mannerisms to match.

The jack-ass doesn't know if he's on foot or horseback about anything.

That would have really been a good post if you had used better grammar.

This idiot thinks he can sham his way the Presidency basically saying nothing by nebulous comments like..."Barrack Obama inherited a bad economy..and he made it worse".

GBrown, Um, which part of this statement is false. Most of us who are not in denial as you libs are know this statement is true. Do you actually believe that things are looking up with this administration especially with record debt levels incurred under this administration? You look for anything that could shed Obama in a positive light. You can say all you want that things are improving, that jobs are slowly coming back but you all fail to look at the real picture, the number of people at a record level that gave up looking for work and not counted in the statistics you keep throwing at our faces. Do you account for the ratio of the number of jobs vs. population growth? I don't think so. Do you libs ever ask the average person out there how they are feeling about their jobs or if they even have one? Maybe you should and then get back to us about Obama's chances for winning in November!

I was kind of grossed out by the mental image ; )

I disagree. John Kerry was the lamest presidential candidate I've seen in my lifetime. Try as I might, I can't get away from the conspiracy theory that the Republicans & Democrats have been in cahoots since at least the Bush-Gore debacle in 2000. Likely before that, but I digress. Kerry was supposed to lose in 2004 so that Dems could win unanimously in 2008. I suspect Hillary was supposed to be the benefactor, but politics are what they are. Mitt is Kerry from 2004. He is supposed to lose, but look good doing it, so the Dems can have 8 years. This allows them 8 years of policy making. After 8 years, America will literally scream for a change, and it will be back to Republicans. Sadly, this is the model Mexico has been using since at least 1960. No real change, but the public is happy, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and NOTHING CHANGES… Ron Paul, you say?

4eyes4u,

You are correct, Mitt Romney is the GOP equivalent of John Kerry, flip-flopping and all. The Republicans know he's going to lose this election, setting themselves up for a stronger candidate in 2016.

Obama nearly has the 270 electoral votes he needs locked up, Romney has no viable path to 270.

They always do this. I don't know why it's allowed either.

The media wants Romney to win. Ron Paul has a chance -- it isn't a good chance, but he has a chance. How could Romney possibly concede that Dr Paul has a chance after already announcing victory?

There's actually a slight chance Ron Paul will get the nomination. Romney may be disqualified as a candidate because he committed voter fraud in 2010 by voting in Massachusetts in the special election to replace the late Ted Kennedy (Mitt didn't live in Massachusetts or own property in Massachusetts and he lied on the voter registration form.)

VirginiaDemocrat Your post sounds good but the media will never let that happen.

No ....

We just don't want Obama to get us closer to defaulting like Greece ....

I completely disagree. " none of you know of what you speak" is a fairly general statement.

The only party that wants a white president is the Democratic party. Republicans don't look at the color of a person's skin, only the content of their character.

Atticus - Did you say that with a straight face? Bueller, Bueller?

^ White American that is quite happy with the current president.

Atticus,

You don't know many southern Republicans do you?

Real NEWS FLASH! Ron Paul IS WINNING! He already has 11 states., and unlike Romney he doesnt need fake ballots, like the Romney supporters passed out to Ron Paul supporters. Romney is second to last, Romney is going to lose, his support is falling as we speak. There is no such thing as an ex Ron Paul supporter ;D Dont believe the Media LIES!, Choke on the truth for a change!

nunya- while that is nice to see repeating it over and over again annoys the rest of us. Thanks and have a nice day.

Ron Paul 2012

Because democrats don't "buy" votes? That's hysterical.

Srich,

Democrats don't "buy" votes. We just have the majority of Americans on our side. Most GOP money comes from massive donations from a small pool of the super wealthy, while most of President Obama's campaign donations are small and many.

HERES REAL NEWS FLASH-

RON PAUL IS WINNING! He has won 11 states, and he doesnt need to have FAKE BALLOTS passed out to Romney Supporters like ROMNEY supporters where doing in Maine and Nevada to the Ron Paul supporters!

Thanks for saving me the trouble on this one Fitz. I have posted this before. Not to mention million dollar donations from "perceived celebrities" sent to Obama's campaign efforts.

George W. (braindead) Bush better than Obama.

LMFAO !!

"We don't want Saddam Hussein's smoking gun to be a "Nu-Ku-Lar" mushroom cloud do we folks?"

That logic is not very intelligent

You are smarter than you may know then .... Bama-836911

Yes ....

Anyone would be better than Obama ....

Anyone at this point ....

please vote your conscience, voting for the lesser of two evils is still evil. dont believe the media, Ron Paul is winning! If Romney even got the the nomination it would ensure a second term for Obama, Who in ther right mind would really vote for Romney?

Exit polls.

They often get it wrong. Remember when Santorum sp? won but it wasn't known for several days? What a momentum killer. People tend to follow what the media tells them the mainstream crowd is voting for. Like robots.

It may be tough for some to swallow ....

But Obama's poll numbers are plummeting fast ....

Obama will go down as the worst president in the history of history ....

Even longer than that ....

HEIDI,

Actually, it's not as tight of a race as you say, it's not anybody's race, it's Obama's. Look deeper into Rasmussen, at their polls that actually matter, the statewide polls in the swing states. Remember, national popular vote, as we learned in 2000, means zilch. We elect presidents through the Electoral College, and on the electoral map, President Obama has a commanding lead. Even Rasmussen's individual state polls show Obama winning the election with 347 electoral votes to 191 for Romney. An electoral landslide!

President Obama has all but 43 of the electoral votes he needs to lock 270 in. Romney needs 79. If Obama wins just Ohio, Pennsylvania and Iowa, he has 271 electoral votes. He doesn't even need to win Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Colorado, Nevada or New Hampshire to win the election, and he's leading Romney in all of them.

It won't be over until November. That will be interesting. The emphasis is on the Republican race, but look at the Dem numbers. Some inmate in Texas is carrying 40% of the Dem vote for the nomination, to Obama's 60%, it has to speak volumes of the confidence his own party has in him. And that inmate is in prison, not campaigning, just on the ballot. Very interesting!

It's too late to save America from the destruction Obama has already done ....

But with Mitt we can begin to stop Obama's debt from continuing to rocket upward ....

Romney has been successful at every job he has had. Bain, Olympics, and Governor all true successes.

Don't say he failed as Governor. Don't say he ranked 47th in job growth. That is true, but the UR was 4.7% when he left office in 2007. That is considered better than full employment. That is his real record on jobs.

i think the only way Romney can balalnce a budget he learned at bain and that was laying off workers and he hasnt said or even given a hint on how he will get Americans back to work

Flannan, I think it is safe to say Romney has quite more knowledge and experience about balancing budgets than Obama! Romney actually balanced the budget as Governor of Mass.and left the state with a surplus. Obama can not even present a budget without it getting laughed at and shot down twice by members of both parties!! Where is the budget?? Three years plus and nothing! Yes, that's right, that's what we get from this administration, nothing! FYI!! Romney does have a great plan for getting people back to work that he has been talking about on his campaign trail if you cared to listen. You should google it!!

dee- romney balanced mass budget- he took millions in fed earmarks- that helped- he once said a govenor's job is to push for fed money get as much as you can. and as for his plan- like reducing the corporate tax, increase oil drilling(im sure you wouldnt mind an oil well close to you) , or ending Obamacare but replacing it with what? ive been paying into ss for close to 50 years and would like something for my money. and do you have faith in Romney or just have hated Obama for 4 years and want him gone. and as for all these polls people talk about- 6 months to go, anything can happen and people will see the true colors of Mr Romney-- Obama 2012

Flanan, Actually, I have faith in Romney because I, unlike many people look at their past records and can make reasonable judgements about their qualifications! Romney has proven success in the Private and Public Sectors. You may not agree with his plan but it is a step in the right direction. Reducing corporate tax rates are neccessary for a business to stay competitive, grow and hire more people (you complain about businesses going overseas to be competitive since they have to be faced with the highest corporate taxes in the world). Second, as much as you want to be in denial of this, we are a nation based on fossil fuels and are still dependent on oil until the market, yes, market obtains the technology for alternate sources but we are not there yet and the Govt. can't force something we are not ready for (witnessed by failures of Solyndra and other other Energy companies). We know it does not work, they should stop trying!! As far as Obamacare, if we proceed with this destructive unsustainable Obamacare, there will be no social security left for you to collect for all the 50 years you worked! This partisan law needs to be repealed and replaced with something that works. So yes, I do have faith in Romney to make the decisions to move forward, not backwards as witnessed by Obama these past 3 years.

Me too. Well said Dee!

He'll put America back to work in minimum wage jobs, since he's a big proponent of outsourcing all the skilled labor to "low cost countries." He's a corporate raider, all the way. America is the world's richest corporation, and his wet dream.

Dee- first-look at my name does the 3rd letter really look like a N?Romney doesnt have all that much exp in private or public but lets lok at what he has- he save the Olympics by getting the federal govt to give them 100's of millions dollars, so i guess thats a talent- getting somone else to give money- at Bain-he took companies(some failing and some healthy) and downsized them, selling off big chunks and making bain and himself lots of money and thats good i guess -the American way-screw the other guy right? and i admit we need fossil fuels but at what cost? Obama has increased drilling , more than Bush, just not on govt lands, so you think the answer is to drill even more regardless of whaere and conquesence? and as for solyandra and other energy sources not working so stop trying- i try not to be rude on theses threads but that stratement is ignorant- if we always stop doing or trying new things simply because they fail a few times- we would probably still be living in caves. i think other energy sources are the answer but doubt it will happen in my life but it may help my kids and grandkids. and your right Obamacare has some flaws in it but we need something and that could of been fixed , by the way you do know that the mandate was the repub idea back from the 80's, and Obama got suckered in to it although maybe he put it in on purpose so it would fail, who knows. and i dont think we have been moving backwards for 3 years, Obama did start out in a massive hole left by Bush and it got deeper but its gonna take time- my parents lived thru the depression and it took many years to bounce back. your faith is in Romney but there is something in him i dont trust

Heck, Dee for President! Athos, I remember working for minimum wage when I was going to school, in fact I worked 3 jobs at one time. There is something to be said for people scraping by, working their tails off and having "work ethic" rather than sitting on their ever expanding rear ends angry at the world and expecting to be taken care of. The mindset of "something for nothing" must end. This is my greatest objection to Obama and the liberal mindset.

Yes, many people remind us on these posts that Romney used federal resources to help save the Olympics. These resources were available to him at the time and he took advantage of them to save something big that needed saving. That is smart business to me, he made it happen and it worked! As far as Bain is concerned, I see nothing wrong with turning around businesses that are doomed to fail into something successful that will create jobs. Why do people have a problem with this? If a business is doomed to fail due to a bad business model, they have a right to fail, it was inevitable that these employees would be out of a job. This is a fact of life in any company that fails, they go out of business and people get layed off. This happens all the time, people move on! Why is it more of a problem when it happens to a company associated with Bain?.

The fact that Obama increased drilling is a myth. We know very well if drilling increased, it has nothing to do with Obama but they are the result of permits that were released during the Bush administration. And yes, I do believe in alternative energy exploration but is now, during a recession the best time to spend money we don't have on something we are not ready for? C'mon now, we have to be realistic about this.

I will continue to have faith in Romney because you have to know our country is headed in the wrong direction as witnessed by endless polls and we need major change before we head ourselves to a path of destruction (we are almost there under Obama). We need someone who knows how the economy works and Romney has proven by his record and past experiences that he does.

just saved all of your names for review after the election. you guys are so going to regret your quotes...

Srich, thanks for the compliment. True what you say about today's work ethic. What I witnessed recently on the Hannity show is telling about the mentality of today's generation. The other night Sean Hannity on FOX had an OWS activist on the show and he was complaining about going to college, having to pay off student loans and not being able to find a job. The next day Hannity said he offered this guy a job at the studio and he turned it down because the job must pay between 80,000 to 100,000 for it to be worth his while. So I guess it's better for him to sit on his butt and be angry at the world than take a job at a presitgious studio because it did not meet his salary requirements that he thinks he deserves. This is the mentality we are dealing with in today's society. Very Sad!

ltl.rascal, Huh? Exactly what are you going to do after the election? Hunt us down and have a bounty on our heads?? WTF?

Right? It was an odd statement.

Srich-

I remember working for minimum wage when I was going to school, in fact I worked 3 jobs at one time. There is something to be said for people scraping by, working their tails off and having "work ethic" rather than sitting on their ever expanding rear ends angry at the world and expecting to be taken care of.

I worked three jobs and went to school too, kudos to you! I saw a great t-shirt last Sunday at a Ron Paul rally it said, "Don't spread my wealth, Spread my work ethic"

right, arizonatime!!

you and the rest of this idiot nation are blind and can't see that ron paul is the right man for this country right now, you watch and see if romney gets elected president it'll be the same old crap....mark my words mr. blind in one eye and can't see out the other because your head is stuffed sideways up your butt!!!
