@Networks Ignore DNC Benediction: Archbishop Dolan Defends Right to Life & Traditional Marriage
Good!
His social statements in the words of a Cardinal that just died recently……
“The Cathloic Church is 200 years behind”
That explains where you and your political party remains, bigoted and outdated.
The jobs numbers are devastating. The Obama Campaign desperately needed the numbers to come close to the ADP 201,000 jobs created.
96,000 is pitiful and Obama is a man without a country. He gets a small bounce from speeches but he needed more in real numbers. He is in real trouble lefties. He had real momentum if the jobs report was good. Bill Clinton can talk all day but reality is what people are going to see.
All of the other jobs numbers are devastating to the Obama Campaign. Incomes are down and the numbers for the last two months have been revised down. More people are hopeless and giving up.
Start printing money, it is your only hope for re-election Mr. President.
I said yesterday that perception is reality. There is no way Obama and his people can argue say stay the course things are improving.
Mr. President go to Hollywood and beg for money to run the nastiest negative ads you can think of against Willard.
The jobs report is how did the two, lefty, sycophant journalist phrase it in 2008…”Game Change.”
Willard start measuring the drapes.

Then why the hell did the DNC even have him there???
I know this, you can judge t5hings from some of the market trends, and I just checked a few ago, Gold futures are jumping big time in future pricing. That is NOT showing any confidence at all.
Then again my ears are waterlogged so my brain may not be working right
I am having a BALL here. Tomorrow Gatlinburg bound
2.4 Million FOX viewers were not counted because they threw thier remotes thru thier TV’s when they heard the lies and hate spewing from the Dems.
Obama is like the abusive husband who beats his wife then brings her flowerss and tells her how much he loves her and she believes him and take him back, and then he does it again . That what America is letting Obama do to them. They love the lies
The desperation of the right on this thread is insane. Actually, Romney got a negative bounce…look it up. Romneys speach had people running for the other party and yes, even after the jobs number came out, some polls are giving Obama all the way up to a 9 point bounce. Now, I don’t know if you all are getting paid by the Right to spout your crap…but you might need to try a new tactic cuz even your party is now saying it”s going to be tough for Romney to win. Especially with Ohio running towards Obama after the convention. Romneys only hope is the debates now. Who knows. Just letting you know that you all kind of look like fools. Your like that idiot that tells you the score before the game starts and he is always wrong? You know the guy.
Funny FNC is still 3rd during a liberal event. Guess thats why the are No.1 by ratings last few years!
@david
you’re a moron, but you already knew that.
