A really fine post Hal, but the media is largely from NY & therefor lives around Democratic supporters.  There will always be a bias.

This is an interesting article, titled "All Signs Point To Romney" but concludes that his likeability is so poor it is keeping him from the Presidency.  I believe the likeability issue stems from the negative attack ads, which really do work (unfortunately).

The Republican Party has been hijacked by religious zealots like that pea brained Senatorial candidate, Clay Akin.

At the same time, the Democratic Party has been hijacked by the left.  Difference is, Obama is one of them while Romney is just playing the part.

This is why our country's biggest problems occur when there is no balance of power.

What we need is an Independent Party who believes as most of us do, that marijuana is fine behind closed doors, a woman has the right to choose during the 1st trimester only & that prostitution should be legalized & taxed.

Exactly. Romney is a moderate at heart. That's how he got elected in Massachusetts.

As I said before, Romney does not believe in weed, gay marriage, or abortion. His own campaign manager in Nevada told me this, and I told the campaign manager that he is then an asshole.

One thing about me-I open my mouth and out it rolls. Just today a player asked what I thought of Romney's VP pick and I instantly said "He is an asshole...socially. That being said, I agree with him more fiscally than Romney."

Well it turns out the guy knows Ryan and has had several talks with him recently. He is trying to gauge what middle Americans think of Ryan.

As I said before, Romney does not believe in weed, gay marriage, or abortion. His own campaign manager in Nevada told me this, and I told the campaign manager that he is then an asshole.

IMO, Romney does not care one bit about those social issues.  I would bet all of my money that if it were completely up to him, he would not govern those issues - he'd leave it to the states to figure it out.  Romney's campaign manager may have told you that because he just assumed that if you were at a Romney rally (or whatever it was) you were probably a righty who wanted to hear that.

As Elgin said, that's how he got elected in MA.  Not to be a social Hitler but to get things in line fiscally.

And that is why he gets my support.  I can only hope that the Dems just barely hold on to the Senate, throw out Harry Reid & vote with the GOP to repeal Obamacare in favor of something much better, which is what we want & deserve.

Actually the guy was sitting at my roulette table. When he told me that he was Romney's campaign manager for all of Nevada and parts of California and Arizona, I told him exactly how Romney could win this race. The guy said "Ok, another smart guy who knows how he can win...let's hear it."

I said three things will get Romney the election in a landslide:

1. Have him immediately stf up about abortion. Neither Romney nor any other man has the right to tell women what to do if they are pregnant.

2. Promise to immediately legalize gay marriage. Why should the gays not be allowed to be just as miserable as the rest of us?

3. Promise to legalize pot immediately.

The guy replied he would never get nominated with those three things, I said then he is an asshole and I would never vote for anyone who doesn't have the balls to promise those three things. There you get the women's vote, the gay vote and the pothead vote. Cinch the election.

And now you know why I love Gary Johnson. He is the only one in this race with balls and honesty.

Are stoners going to remember what they were going to do that Tuesday ?

Stoners generally are one hell of a lot smarter, more creative, and in far better control than drunks. I know...I have been both. Ever hear of a driver stoned on weed killing anyone or a stoner starting a fight? Of course not. The world is a lot happier, safer place with stoners than with drinkers. Matter of fact, the entire world needs to use more weed.

They may be more creative and smarter at first, but after awhile it fries their brains and common sense.

Compared to drunks they are better though.

And that is why Johnson gets no respect, no air time & more importantly, no nominations!

Jeremy, your posts are right on!  That is exactly why I say whatever a person does behind close doors, in their own home is fine & dandy with me.  As long as it doesn't affect me or my loved ones when they are innocently behind the wheel of a vehicle.

And yes, bring back prohibition.  I'm fine with that.  Anything MADD says, I'm with.

"And yes, bring back prohibition.  I'm fine with that.  Anything MADD says, I'm with."

So, you are in favor of telling people what to do behind closed doors, in some cases. 

For the record, I am not in favor of:
1. Legalizing pot
2. Abortion
3.gay marriage.

What I am not:
1. a religious zealot

Would I vote for someone who is in favor of one or more of the things I am not?  Yes I would.  When you have only two realistic choices, I go with the best one.  We can fantasize all we want about 3rd or fourth parties and how nice it would be if they had a chance, but in 2012, they don't.  That is the harsh reality of the situation.  I see this election as either you embrace Obama and his
ultra-left policies and anti-Americanism and his total ineptitude or you vote for Romney.  Do I think Romney is the perfect candidate?  Hell no.  But he is light years better than Obama. (No, I didn't vote for Romney in the primary)

No, MADD is Mothers Against DRUNK DRIVING, not against what people do in their houses.  I don't want to tell anybody anything other than don't endanger other people by driving under substance influence.  That's all.  You wanna smoke or kill yourself?  Go right ahead.  Hell, if I were terminal & in pain, I'd move to Oregon!

Why do you want to tell people who they can marry?  In 20 years, they're gonna look back & say "can you believe people were that crazy, to be against gay marriage".
