Obama and Romney tied, but majority of voters say neither has plan to
fix the economy

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/04/25/fox-news-poll-obama-and-romney-tied-but-majority-voters-say-neither-has-plan-to/

The race between Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney is
dead even in a new Fox News poll that also shows majorities of
American voters say neither candidate has a plan for fixing the
economy.

The national poll, released Wednesday, finds President Obama and
presumptive Republican nominee Romney each at 46 percent, if the
election were held today.

.....

Independents give the advantage to Romney by 13 points. Two weeks ago
he had a six-point edge with independents, while in March independents
split evenly between the candidates.

I like realclearpolitics.com, they present all of the polls, including
Fox and
Rasmussen, and give you a pretty good idea of where everything stands.
They
also post intrade odds.

So, the overall numbers are:

Obama +3.5

That means, for all polls averaged, President Obama is about 3.5
points ahead.

Intrade shows:

Obama 60.1
Romney 38.3

People don't seem to give a lot for Romeny's chances.

Gallop shows Obama 49 and Romney 43%. Romney going up a point this
week.

I still think the Independents will pick this election.

Polls show Obama with a slight lead or ties for the most part.

Independents and Moderates will pick the next President.

Let the mud slinging commence.

No but for a incumbent Obooboo is not doing as good as I'd expect.
The independents will choose as they see fit.

Then again not ahead by much and the true race hasn't even started.

Well so far haven't seen this great plan you have. Rhetoric and
finger pointing yes. Where is it?

We need both a tax increase or to at least let the temporary measures
expire and we need to cut spending and eliminate waste in Government.

And yet taxing the extreme rich polls very well...

That's the thing about the cesspool of propaganda America has become.
Because it's "cool to hate Obama", he will poll poorly. But when you
poll on specific line items (better health insurance, out of Iraq, GM
recovering, etc.) they come up positive.

Yeah, it's pretty vague at best and even Romney can't keep track of
his own plan, like when he originally proposed "a 35% tax rate on top-
earning Americans. But in a debate last week, he suggested he would
lower the top rate to 25% or even 20% when asked to identify the
highest rate any American should pay. More than 25%, I think, is
taking too much out of our pockets," Romney said."

Mr. Etch-a-Sketch strikes again.

His plan delivers no specifics as to how he'll reduce spending, only
unsupportable vague generalities. He says nothing about what he would
do about housing, which is one of the main drivers of the economy. He
provides no clue as to how to increase employment and exactly how
he'll reduce federal spending from 24% to 20% of GDP without cutting
50% of defense or cutting to the bone and maybe cutting a limb or two
of everything else remains completely unexplained. It's a wishful
thinking plan for desperately wishful thinking right wingnuts like
you.

http://money.cnn.com/2012/01/25/news/economy/romney_economic_plan/index.htm

Do feel free to fill in all the missing blanks in the vague
generalities.

Well, things were moving along at a rapid-fire pace in 2009 and 2010,
resulting in one of the most productive Congressional terms ever,
unlike the current one which has become the least productive ever.

His plan does give the rich bigger tax cuts.

JFC, he doesn't even try to hide it.

Yeah? What do the polls say about raising the capital gains rate,
discouraging investment, and lowering revenues?

Oh, that's right. You class warfare cocksuckers and your suck buddies in the

Class warfare for votes and fuck the country. Tell the public that and see

Yeah? What do the polls say about bailing GM out and screwing the share
holders and basically handing the company over to the unions that broke it
in the first and will again, you fascist fuck? Oh, that's right. You fascist
fucks didn't tell them about that, did you?

Now you're in here crowing about polls that prove how successfully you've
managed to brain fuck the public in a democracy where most people don't have

Since the first doesn't cause the second two, it doesn't matter.

But a huge majority of voters want to see the cap gains tax raised, with
incentives for domestic investment. THEN you would see a jump in
investment and revenues!

You can stop right there at your first shameless lie born out of low IQ
racist hatred and answer the charge:

Why do you want to raise the capital gains rate and lower your holey grail
of revenues to the government?

Answer: "Farness."

The other ruse is that most people don't understand the difference between

Most voters don't even know that Hussein is talking about the capital gains
rate, much less know that raising it will reduce revenues. That's because
the MSM / DNC cabal wants the public brain fucked, and they are.

Meanwhile the country is going down the shitter thanks to it and YOU are
going to go down right along with it. Something you dumbfucks just can't

I read every word of it. Like an intelligent manager, he can't offer any
details without knowing the circumstances he'll be dealing with when and
if the time comes. A complete economic plan is going to be a bit more
than 160 pages.

For comparison, Obama's economic plan consists of a single web page
congratulating himself and a speech where he asks Congress to fix it.

Romney isn't Ryan.

But if you'd like to compare, the basis of Obama's budget seems to be
"Budget? We don't need no stinkin' budget."

You mean Romney can't check the Bureau of Labor Statistics or any
other government site to know what's going on? Are you trying to tell
us he's too dumb to do that?

Because Congress is the one that's supposed to fix it. And if a
Repugnant Congress isn't interested in fixing it or any plan at all
that Obama hands them, what's the point of handing them anything?
Just so he'd let them keep throwing egg in his face? Yeah, that's a
real smart move.

Independents ALWAYS choose. And, almost all "undecideds" historically
go for the challenger. If they were going for Obama they wouldn't
still be undecided. We will see how many dead people will vote.

The POTUS is required by law to submit his first. Obama's "budget" has
been laughed out of the chamber by every member of Congress every year
he's been in office. The POTUS doesn't know shit about money.

That doesn't make being wealthy a bad thing. I understand you thinking

No, it's like saying it's better for us to have a budget than not have one.

Unless you are equating not having a budget with not having a
government, which would raise a whole new set of questions you don't
want to address.

Does it matter? Neither will that one be passed.

Does it even matter? Repugnants have no desire to pass any Democrat
budget and vice versa. It's all an exercise in futility, just for
show by Repugnants to impress no-brains like you so easily impressed
by exercises in futility.

Why? What would be significantly different over how things have been
the last few years without a budget? Government spending still kept
going up with budgets, so what's the point? In fact, not having one
has seen government spending actually flatline in rate of growth
compared to the Bush years.

Stupid equation not worth addressing.

Why? Really? You don't know why having a budget is better than not
having one?

It hasn't flatlined. Spending has increased under Obama faster than it
ever did under Bush.

You think it's better to not have a budget than to have one?

The present economic climate was not created by anyone's budget. Part of
it is being sustained by the lack of one though.

Each of the last 3 years has seen overall spending in the $3.6
trillion range, take or give a hundred or two billion.

Looks like it's flat-lining to me compared to the Bush years. Just
remember that which you always so conveniently forget: it's not the
total, it's the rate of increase that counts - that's where the flat-
lining lies.

Considering that the trajectory of federal spending has flat-lined
over the last 3 years compared to what preceded it, it's probably
better not to have a budget. Seems the government somehow gets a bit
more responsible with money that way.

Your just saying so doesn't make it so. Let's see some charts and
data that back you up.
