Romney Looks Like the Next Pres

Quote from Ricter:

Really. There are so many errors in what you're calling facts, or so much misinterpretation, one does not know where to start.

And Ricter knows all about spouting off errors - that's pretty much all he posts on.

Quote from jem:

so much that we have to buy some of the debt back ourselves.

Some? How about over half of it?

I don't think that is true.

I checked several sources including the Fed's data that all indicate that the Fed holdings are about $1.6 trillion. That is aproximately 11%. They may be the single largest holder of our debt but not 61%.

If you can find other reliable sources that say otherwise, I would like to see where they are and where they get their data.

I took it to mean we have been buying 61 of the debt at recent auctions.

Oh, my mistake. Sorry Tsing. That could be true with all the QE's going on one after the other.

Now that the polls are showing Romney in the lead, does that mean they are correct and not being manipulated?

Yes when the polls or the news or any statistics or unemployment reports come in positive it is a conspiracy by the left and personally directed by the president. All these are accurate only when they are negative for Obama.

For instance in the battleground states... if the electorate is typically balanced... and the polls are still slanted d 7 to the dems... what you know is that Romney is really winning by a bigger margin.

Even the IBD national poll it is still slanted dplus 7 or 8 for the dems.

Some polls have moved to a balance, some are still slanted to the dems.

Does anybody really, truly believe that there are less unemployed/underemployed people today than there were 4 years ago?

Jobs numbers are a complete joke.

Romney is still gaining on the RCP polls and on the Electoral College Map.
