"I am baffled by recent polls which show that people believe the economy is worse than four years ago, yet they are STILL supporting Barack Obama. How is this possible? What is going through these people’s freaking minds? This speaks to either two things: The incompetence of voters, or the failure of Mitt Romney to do anything to convince voters that he would be a better choice than Obama."I think it's Romney and the House Republicans. I think Americans are starving for a reason to get rid of Obama, but neither Romney nor House Republicans give them one. Romney's promised he will not cut spending. He's promised he will keep ridiculous aspects of Obamacare like coverage for preexisting conditions. He supports protectionism, not free trade. He shows no knowledge of how an economy works. He picked a big-government RINO and phony budget hawk for VP. Then he steamrolled Ron Paul supporters with an ex post facto rules change the outcome of which was scripted in advance and didn't actually pass the voice vote.
And you can't discount how badly the Republican House has undermined the Republican party. The people voted in Republicans in a historic wave election in 2010 to cut spending. They did just the opposite. They had the opportunity to reject a debt limit increase as soon as they took over, and they failed to do it. Despite what voters had sent them there to do, they increased the debt ceiling and gave Obama pretty much all the spending he wanted. They didn't even cut funding for Obamacare. And Paul Ryan was one of the leaders who cut the legs out from under Republican voters. Republicans are suffering from self-inflicted wounds, and well deserved.
If Romney runs a 60 second ad of him talking to the camera, it will turn people off. This campaign has reached over saturation. People are sick of campaign ads.
Romney fakes empathy for the jobless. It worked for Clinton and seems to be working for Obama, so why not?
