Don't Believe it When You Hear That The Race is Virtually Tied

It seems like there is a fair amount of energy in the media on pushing the meme that either the polls are over the place or that the race is essentially tied using national poll data. The race is not tied and Obama is winning comfortably at this point where the race will be decided. We will win if we get folks to get to the polls to vote. The margin will never be big enough though that we don't have to worry about voter suppression efforts in some of the States. It's nice to see the sea of blue (including NC) on the most recent RCP summary of latest polls posted below. Americans must be waking up and paying attention to what a Rmoney/Ryan administration would mean for them.

1. We need to combat that message because they keep repeating it

As the election nears, they want the American people to believe the race is tied.

IMO: if they can sell the tied race, they can use the powers they have in each swing state (Ohio and Florida mostly) to change some numbers and steal the election.

I do not trust these GOP bastards at the State or national level.

8. There's a story on Yahoo where Rmoney says "there's no question in my mind that we're going to win".

I think the fix is in, but I'm not so sure America is going to accept it as easily as they accepted Bush. Never thought I'd say it, but I think Rmoney is much more dangerous than Bush in all respects. Scary stuff going on.

of altered Diebold machines, intimidation at the polls, voter suppression, a SCOTUS ready to come to their rescue if all else fails. They are better known as the Rethuglican Party.

4. Mittens said it on 60 Minutes the other night. So it must be true!

"Virtually tied, virtually tied." Repubs are sticking their fingers in their ears.

Romney is down in the swing states and that is a sheer indication things are not going well in his campaign right now.

And remember the vast majority of Americans rightfully no longer trust the M$M to deliver unbiased news in the public interest.

This is all about driving viewership and ad revenues by declaring a horse race where none exists.

It's Bullshit with a Purpose.
