Romney is in quicksand mode now

The more he struggles the deeper he gets.

Everything has says or does now blows up in his face. That is what panic does to a campaign in deep trouble.

A good example is the Chrysler and GM lies. The media has spent a lot of time debunking that and pretty much defining him as a liar. That is not a good thing 4-5 days before the election for any candidate.

I think those companies should sue Romney and the republican party for telling lies about them.

It seemed that for a couple of weeks in the media Romney could do no wrong and had momentum but this has been a disastrous week for his image- all I am seeing regarding politics is Obama doing the right things- sounding and acting like a President while Romney looks desperate, dishonest and on the wrong side of government helping people.

How the eff did the media manage to make Rmoney look "presidential" after the 1st debate, when he beat up the moderator and our Pres? Pres O (I thought) did just fine hammering on the main point - the 20% across the board tax cut - up against the lying shape-shifter.

Oh well, all's well that ends well, and it sure looks like this is going to end well!

5. Running that ad of the big lie (Jeep outsourced to China) was fatal

for him in Ohio. Fucking fatal.
The press is piling on, editorials are being written calling him out, GM and Chrysler, outraged are weighing in...man, his timing, strategy and tactics couldn't be better. Keep it up asshole...there's still 6 days left to further self-destruct.
(looking like a dick at his phony food relief "photo op" was a good one too...desparetly spending $5000 for props at fucking WalMart..priceless)

12. The thing is: Even if the Corporate Media doesn't correct the lie, there are tens of thousands

of people falsely believing that they are in danger of losing their jobs. Therefore, my hope is that they do more digging, requesting information from GM and Chrysler and find out that it's all a lie. That will force GM and Chrysler to set the record straight for the sake of their employees.

That's just my guess.

Fuck the Corporate Media for not doing their jobs. They haven't done their jobs in the last 10 years, instead cheerleading for the Bush administration to the point that there is still an overwhelming number of Americans who believe that Saddam Hussein attacked us on 911!!
