The BIG SPIN starts

1. Create/release poll to support narrative.
2. Show a picture of the Obama campaign kick off that is before the event started and question "enthusiasm."
3. Refer to poll, specifically "results" showing RMoney with 10 point lead with Independents.
4. Reinforce claim that Independents decide elections.
5. Have a guest state, "Independents align with RMoney because the switch positions." (Turning a RMoney weakness into a strength)

Fox News?????? Nope, MSNBC Alex Wagner show.

Romney tries to talk a good conservative game, but his track record is one that is actually to the left of Obama.

Everything else is fluff and noise meant to distract, and feed the illusion that the 99 percent have any type of say or real control over what happens in this country.

Or do you even know what you are talking about? Romney was actually quite moderate as a governor and in fact probably more so than Obama has been the last three years.. That is on record. What Romney and the Republicans probably might do in the future is something to be discussed but what he did in the past is available for all to contemplate...Obama certainly has not in any way been a "Liberal" in his governance..

actually be in trouble.

'You're just mad because Obama might take away your pot, stoner'? Really?

For the record, I agree with the person you're slinging insults at. Obama pretty much has the Wall Street mascot gig in the bag. He's been very good at it, and he has a much better chance of looting Social Security than the Republican Mitt Romney.
