This just in: Bain attack is working

Fox News poll of 900 registered voters gives Obama the edge, by 4 points.
A poll by the same firm in early June shows Obama and Romney tied, so this must mean that the Bain attacks are working, right?

Or maybe it shows that these polls are all within the margin of error and it's impossible to say who is leading now, only that the President has a slight edge if you average all the recent polls? So the predicted tight race is here. Expect a roller coaster ride now 'til November.

'The Dark Knight Rises' is an Attack on Mitt Romney, According to Rush Limbaugh



According to The Hollywood Reporter, here's what he had to say about the movie:

"So this evil villain in the new Batman movie is named Bane. And there's discussion out there as to whether or not this was purposeful and whether or not it will influence voters. It's going to have a lot of people. The audience is going to be huge. A lot of people are going to see the movie. And it's a lot of brain-dead people -- entertainment, the pop culture crowd -- and they're going to hear Bane in the movie and they're going to associate Bain."

Rush was actually referring to others like the Washington Times making the Bain/Bane connection, but he seems to buy into the idea himself when he says, "Do you think it is accidental that the name of the really vicious, fire-breathing, four-eyed, whatever-it-is villain in this movie is named Bane?"

Maybe Christopher Nolan borrowed the same time machine that Barack Obama used to travel back to 1961 to place his birth announcement in a Hawaii newspaper - since he couldn't have predicted that Bain would be such a BFD in 2012, Nolan must have gone back to 1993 to tell Bane's comic book creators to give him a name similar to that of Mitt Romney's company ("Bainers" are the new "Birthers"winking smiley. And surely Mitt used the same time machine to retroactively retire from Bain.

Unfortunately Rush won't be able to stop Obama supporters with photoshop skills from putting Bane's scary-looking mask on Mitt Romney now that he's made the Bane/Bain comparison. But Rush shouldn't be too upset about Mitt being equated with a Batman villain - surely he had a good laugh over those old Barack Obama joker posters featuring the POTUS painted up like Heath Ledger's character from The Dark Knight.

Fox News now?

Let me tell you this. Bain and tax returns are dead. Obama saw to it. Add the 386,000 new unemployed today and you are not gonna hear what taxes Romney paid

I didn't hear anything about that chart on the news today. What I heard was that claims shot up last week. That is all that matters for the election.

The "news" you consume is not "news" in the traditional, factual sense.

You are living proof that the more people consume right-wing media, the less overall informed they are.

All it really means is that people are unhappy and find their future unsettling. To settle their future on someone who's shown a propensity to shipping stuff overseas is the point the Obama people will have to make.

Do you want a dismantler as your president. If you do then vote for Mr. Romney. Given the events of the past week or so, it's no longer a given that he will be the nomonee. Mr. Romney might yet sink under the weight of his own wealth.

Tom Friedman, the idol of the left, said this morning outsourcing is so 90s. There are no ins or outs anymore. I suggest you guys drop it. The odd has gone out.
