Ok so wow this campaign is making me become more and more jaded every day. Both sides, the more smoke and mirrors they try to use, the more its starting to bite them in the arse.

First we had the "Etch A Sketch" comments, from the Romney camp. Whats funny, is the guy who uttered this was right on the money. Both sides are nothing but Etch A Sketch's. Make a V line for the base, then shake and reset, and gun back to the center. But to hear someone involved in a campaign utter this during a campaign, just wow.

Then we have this little nugget from good 'ol Presbo.

Come on bro, W..T..F?!?

Again, we all know how the machine works, but to suddenly start seeing it air. This could actually be good stuff in a few more months! Lets throw all the cards on the table!

I would say the same thing. Have to have faith that you will win and act accordingly.

I think the Etch-a-Sketch stuff has been aroound a long time but never quite so blatant as this primary season. Newtie and Sanctimonium did their party no favors by attacking Romney for so long (despite having no chance) and giving their opposition plenty of fodder. I think we'll need to put on hip waders because the general election campaigns are likely to get ugly quickly and get knee deep in BS.

^^ So true, the General election is going to get nasty. Its already started, Obama eats dogs, and Romney abuses dogs by putting them on the top of his car.

Dont forget, Obama's an ex crack head, and Romney was a bully.

Romney abuses not only dogs but people too.

What a tool

http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/opi ... 8743.story

"A]ll of Romney’s actions make up the whole of his character. And in this case [bullying others as a student], whether he did it or didn’t do it or can’t remember, he should be, today, nothing less than mortified at the idea of anyone doing what his former classmates told the Washington Post he did.
But sensitivity is not Romney’s strong suit. This is the man who, as a Mormon lay leader, according to a New York Times report, showed up at a hospital once to confront and warn a woman against having an abortion -- which her doctors had advised her to undergo -- when she was being treated for a dangerous blood clot. And this is the same guy who tied his dog in a crate on the roof of the car for hourslong family road trips years ago. Even there, he couldn’t muster any regret. Asked by ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer if he would transport his dog like that again, he chuckled and said, “Certainly not now with the all the attention it’s received.”
No one ever accused Romney of not being pragmatic."

Ya telco, the economy is screwed beyond belief anyway, lets just forget about that, and focus on high school stories, and past drug use.

Romney a high school bully - WGAF! - High schoolers will be high schoolers

Obama did drugs - WGAF! - I think from now on we'll be hard pressed to find a candidate that didnt have at least some recreational drug use in his past, after all the hippie generation is getting old now.

Lets focus on the economy please, and who can fix it, and who obviously cant fix it. Im not sure either can to be honest, but I know who I think stands a better shot. I know who thinks America is great because of its entitlement spending programs, and would prefer he didnt steer policy anymore.
