Rachel Maddow - Political observers lose patience with Romney vacillations
Published on Oct 10, 2012 by Licentiathe8th
Oct 10, 2012

Steve Kornacki, co-host of MSNBC's "The Cycle" and senior writer for Salon, talks with Rachel Maddow about Mitt Romney's strategy of denying his own record to say what's popular and political observers aren't letting him get away with it with his latest maneuverings on the issue of abortion.
It's simple. Who would you rather vote for, the person who is now inexplicably taking the politically popular stance despite holding the complete opposite views for the past 2 years OR will you vote for the person who has genuinely held the politically popular views for the life of their political career?
Don't let Romney's debate performance fool you. Either he's wishy washy, or even worse, he's pulling a bait & switch. We don't need or want an over glorified used car salesman as president!
What gets me are the number of GOP types who DON'T CARE about ANY of the issues. They intend to go into that booth and SLAM that vote down to get rid of the black guy.
Even if you don't think Romney's changes of opinion are sinister, would you want a President who changes his mind so much?
Agreed, though i think he should do both... just hard to draw a line vs a habitual liar who seems to have no definitive stance on any position and is obsurdily vague. What I wonder is if this Lie-and-retrack is a specific strategy by the campaign, hopefully trying to bank that less people will pay attention to the followup story? And how the hell people dont just lose it... it makes me want to scream every time I see this stuff.
Rachel I didn't hear you mention that Romney signed an agreement that allowed abortion to take place if his son or his son's surrogate participant chooses that option during the arrangement of his son and sons wife having a child via a surrogate mother. Assuming Romney was paying for it which explains both he and his son's signature.

Georgetown Prof. Michael Eric Dyson, The Grio's Joy Reid, and Time Magazine's Michael Crowley discuss whether President Barack Obama's strong debate performance can reverse his slide in the polls -- and whether GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney is intentionally using an old and out-of-date statistic to narrow his gap with the president among female voters.

 
 
 
The Last Word - Romney makes math problem worse

All of Romney's positions have been just like this. He literally is the flip-flopping king. He's changed every single one of his positions over the past 2 years. You and I both know that when you tell a lie, you then have to tell another to cover up the first one. Then you're telling more lies to cover those lies and before you know if you're lying all the time because you've forgot whatever it was you said the very first time. This is a classic example of what Mitt Romney has done throughout.

Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vermont, joins Martin Bashir to quash the verbal jujitsu conservatives are using in the Libya non-scandal to "prove" that the president's phrase, "act of terror", is significantly different from "terrorism."

He gets most of his orders from corporate and religious interests and much of the information he receives is inaccurate, skewed or simply false.
i can't believe that mitt didn't know this before the debate.. i mean he should know the truth even if fox lies...

It does seem ludicrous that women would vote for the GOP that smugly asserts "small government" as it demands to insert a camera into every uteri.
women who vote for him are just stupid.
That's my conclusion. How on earth do you vote for someone who wants to take AWAY your rights???
See.... when women (ESPECIALLY THOSE SEXUALLY ACTIVE) vote for Romney and he becomes president, they'll regret it BIG time. They just better not complain because their butts helped him in office when people were trying to warn them!
Do women realize just how extreme this guy Romney is?
He vows to overturn roe vs wade taking away a woman´s right to choose, endorses constitutional amendment to limit birth control, and has pledged to dismantle planned parenthood entirely.
His other extreme positions:
- anti-immigation/would veto the Dream Act
- abolish medicare
- abolish HUD (homeless support)
- imbed anti-gay restrictions into the constitution.
- endorses legislation to ban all union collective bargaining
- abolish PBS
Out of touch and out of his mind. Repub males kinda creepy

New Polls Have Good News for Obama

Presidential Poll Round Up - October 17

Yahoo! Contributor Network – Wed, Oct 17, 2012

Polls of the presidential race released today have some encouraging news for President Barack Obama. His week-long plunge in the polls appears to be over. A new round of swing state polls show the president running ahead of Republican Mitt Romney in New Hampshire and Nevada. Nationally, Romney continues to lead, and in one poll, by his biggest margin yet.

Nevada

Two polls of Nevada both show President Obama in the lead, both by the same margin. A new Rasmussen poll puts Obama up by three points, 50-47 percent. The survey of 500 likely voters had a margin of error of 4.5 percent. A poll done by Survey USA and the Las Vegas Review-Journal gave the president a three-point lead as well, 48-45 percent. The poll surveyed 806 likely voters with a 3.5 percent margin of error. Obama has led in Nevada throughout most of the campaign, and at one point late in September, his lead hit double-digits. Since the first debate, the race is much closer. Both of these polls were conducted before Tuesday's debate.

New Hampshire

For the first time in a week, President Obama tops the polls in New Hampshire. A new Rasmussen survey, taken the day before the debate, gave Obama a slim one-point edge over Romney, 50-49 percent. The poll of 500 likely voters had a margin of error of 4.5 percent. Last week, Rasmussen found the candidates tied at 48 percent. Obama has led in all but six polls of New Hampshire all year, but three of those misses were within the last week.

Montana
Rasmussen also polled Montana, for only the third poll of the campaign. Romney was the clear leader, ahead of Obama by eight points, 53-45 percent. The survey of 500 likely voters had a 4.5 percent margin of error. Romney has prevailed in all three polls of Montana by an average of almost 10 points.
Connecticut
Obama continues to lead in Connecticut. A poll by Siena found the president ahead by 15 points, 53-38 percent. The poll, taken between Oct. 4-14, surveyed 552 likely voters with a 4.2 percent margin of error. Obama has led every poll of Connecticut during this election cycle.

New Jersey

New Jersey remains in Obama's column, according to a new poll by Neighborhood Research. The poll of 783 likely voters gave the president a seven point lead, 48-41 percent. The poll's margin of error was 3.5 percent. Two dozen polls have been taken of New Jersey dating back to 2011, and Obama has won them all.

National Polls

Romney has opened his largest national lead of the campaign in the most recent Gallup Seven Day Tracking Poll. Romney has a six point lead over Obama, 51-45 percent. The Rasmussen Three Day Tracking Poll puts the candidates much closer, but Romney remains in the lead by one point, 49-48 percent. The window of Gallup's poll still includes some responses from before the vice presidential debate last week, while Rasmussen's window is completely past it. It will be several days before any potential changes due to the result of Tuesday night's debate will be reflected in either poll.

 
 

Tagg Romney: I Wanted to 'Take a Swing' at Obama During Debate

By Matt Vasilogambros | National Journal – 8 hrs ago

Tagg Romney, the eldest of Mitt Romney's five sons, said on Wednesday that he wanted to "take a swing" at President Obama during Tuesday night's debate, BuzzFeed reports.

Speaking on a local North Carolina radio station, Romney was asked about hearing "the president of the United States call your dad a liar."

"You want to rush down to the stage and take a swing at him," Tagg said jokingly, according to BuzzFeed audio. "But you know you can't do that because, well, first because there's a lot of Secret Service between you and him, but also because that's the nature of the process."

He continued, saying the Obama campaign has set out to make his father "someone's he's not," but he acknowledged that they have to "sit there and take our punches." Before the debate, he said, his father gets nervous.

"Are you kidding? He's terrified before he gets out there!" he said. "Terrified is too strong a word. But you know, like anybody, he gets butterflies a little bit. And then once he's in it, two or three minutes, he's forgotten about the nervousness."

Romney has taken on a larger role in the campaign in recent weeks, speaking at more events and reportedly advising his father on strategy.

Biden: GOP Has 'Bullets…Aimed at You'

By Sarah Parnass | ABC OTUS News – 14 hrs ago

Vice President Joe Biden used controversial language to describe the GOP agenda in an exchange with an audience member in Las Vegas Thursday.
Biden referenced "Young Guns," the book the Republican vice presidential nominee, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., co-wrote with House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., in his speech to union workers at the Culinary Academy of Las Vegas Events Center.
"They have guns but no bullets," a member of the crowd shouted.
"Unfortunately, the bullets are aimed at you," Biden replied, pointing at the man who had spoken and prompting laughter from the audience.
The vice president added that Republicans were dividing the country by talking about "a culture of dependency."
Shortly after the rally, Romney-Ryan spokesman Brendan Buck hit back at Biden.
"Today's over-the-top rhetoric by Vice President Biden is disappointing, but not all that surprising," Buck wrote in an emailed statement. "In the absence of a vision or plan to move the country forward, the vice president is left only with ugly political attacks beneath the dignity of the office he occupies. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will bring serious leadership to Washington that will focus on an agenda of job creation and economic growth that benefits all Americans."
During the foreign policy portion of his stump speech, Biden made a mistake in talking about the troops. Neither presidential candidate has ruled out military action against Iran to stop its production of nuclear weapons, but the vice president jumped the gun a bit, referring to U.S. veterans who supposedly fought in Iran.
"How many of you know someone who served in Iraq or Iran?" Biden asked the audience.
In reply, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid raised his hand.
"How many of you know someone who has been injured or lost in Iraq or Iran?" Biden asked again. "Well, let me tell you something. We owe … these families more than we can ever pay them."
As Biden continued, it became clear that rather than referring to a secret war, he had mixed up "Iran" and "Afghanistan."
"Ladies and gentlemen," he said, "so far you know when you're in the theater in Iraq or Afghanistan, the vets can tell you this if you were there: When the military talks about someone who's been killed they refer to them as a fallen angel."
In response to a question about a potential war with Iran at the vice presidential debate last week, Biden answered, "It is not in my purview to talk about classified information, but we feel quite confident we could deal a serious blow to the Iranians."
In Biden's address today, he expanded on President Obama's comments that Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's plans for the economy were "sketchy" ( watch that Obama speech here).
"Well I folks, I don't think they were just sketchy," Biden said. "I think they were etch-a-sketchy."
For the second day in a row, Biden hammered away at Romney and Ryan's views on women's issues - specifically, equal pay and abortion - and said that Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion, would be in danger of being overturned under a Romney presidency.

"They don't believe a woman has a right to control her own body. We disagree," Biden said. "And after these debates, do you have any doubt who they will likely appoint to the Supreme Court of the United States? How much chance do you think Roe v. Wade will survive after four years of a Romney Supreme Court?"

Later in the day, Biden stopped by an elementary school, where he was swarmed by children eager to greet the vice president.

Turning to one of the members of faculty, Biden asked the students, "Is she a good teacher?" to which they shouted, "Yeah!"

"I tell you what," Biden said. "I wish my constituents liked me as much."
