Positive News for Obama Must Always Have its Truthers

Posted by on Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 8:23 AM

Enter the GDP truthers...

As Goldy pointed out, the news of GDP growth is bad for Romney. What he needs in this close race is a lot of negative economic reports. But all he has got to work with right now is a complicated story about distant Libya, an ambassador, a bunch of emails, angry protestors, a YouTube thing, details, and details.

Not that it's a news story, or based on fact, but Romney also has the popular documentary film "2016". I spoke with a one-time Obama voter who's convinced that gas will cost $10 a gallon on account of Obama, and that's why she can't vote for him again.

Also, I would hope that everything they are saying is true. There's no downside to helping the economy in an effort to get reelected. Right?

It would take massive voter stupidity, ignorance, racism and bigotry for Romney to get elected so there should be no problems for Obama.

Slowest recovery from a recession. That is bold fucking lie that Paul Kruger called Mary Matlin on three weeks ago. Why post Fox News lies?

At this point the electroal college model I am betting on (U Colorado) says that the die is cast as far as people choosing a candidate based on past economic news.

you see, the depression wasn't a "recession". and anything before 1976 and jimmy carter doesn't count, regardless.

The truth doesn't count regardless. Fox is to news, and Honey Boo is to learning.
