Even the numbers don't improve, he'll hammer on that. If the numbers do improve further, he'll try to limit the impact and counter the message by talking about how the job creation isn't fast enough, etc.

"You people" just need to stop asking questions, vote for me and then just accept me as your "KING"! I will let you all know my plans "AFTER" you vote for me, then if you don't like it, tough shit! Now be good little subjects and get out and vote for me because then I can bring about a two class system with me and all my rich friends in control and the rest of "you people" will cater to our every need.

Obama stole $716 Bn from Medicare, kidnapped your doctor and escaped in a Chinese Jeep. We have been tracking him and we have him cornered in a patch of "takers" on welfare, who aren't allowed to work because Obama gives them riches for not working. He cannot escape by sea because the Navy is smaller than it was in 1916.

Why doesn't he do a fundraiser for the people in the wake of hurricane Sandy?
I mean a real one.

Romney hasn't spoken to a reporter for over 3 weeks.

Where has Paul Ryan been hiding? Has he ever given a real interview on a real news program?

Why isn't he out creating photo-ops in NY or NJ?

These guys only exist in GOP and super pac TV ads. Nobody that is intending to vote for the republican ticket KNOWS who they are voting for.

Romney's campaign is simply based on lies.

Republicans Are A Disease

Romney is the worst case of this disease. He tells the lies, and the
billionaires he represents pay to spread them.

Fri Nov 2, 2012, 06:34 AM
Nov 2012

These will be the laws of my administration...

No one's allowed to smoke
Or tell a dirty joke
And whistling is forbidden

If chewing gum is chewed
The chewer is pursued
And in the hoosegow hidden

If any form of pleasure is exhibited
Report to me and it will be prohibited
I'll put my foot down
So shall it be
This is the land of the free!

The last man nearly ruined this place
He didn't know what to do with it
If you think this country's bad off now
Just wait til I get through with it!

The country's taxes must be fixed
And I know what to do with it
If you think you're paying too much now
Just wait til I get through with it!

I will not stand for anything that's crooked or unfair
I'm strictly on the up-and-up so everyone beware
If anyone's caught taking graft and I don't get my share
We'll.stand him up against the,wall and pop! Goes the weasel!

If any man should come between a husband and his bride
We'll find out which one she prefers by letting her decide
If she prefers the other man the husband steps outside
We'll stand him up against the wall and pop! Goes the weasel!

(This is Groucho's inaugural address from Duck Soup. I got about halfway through feeding it in when I realized it really is Mitt's stump speech.)

I'm sure he'll do something to mess it up like criticising the UK or insisting on a 1916-era navy. Really, seems like statistics on the election show the level of Romney discontent is increasing. Hopefully its too late for Mitt now...
