Romney / RNC bait 'n switch. Do you think folks are getting a clue?

Finally.

Seems obvious to me, but I pay a lot of attention to politics and have the time to do so. Retired and interested. And admittedly a Dem partisan.

Do you think the Republican sham is getting clearer for the-population-at-large? A big portion of the population juggle school, or work, or parenting daily. Or all three...even given the interest all have in the political process and the issues, time seems a big factor. I know it would for me.

Does the haze of media formatting, which I feel is pretty shallow, serve those with a myriad of other pressing responsibilities? Dem, Rep or other?

He was voting for Obama. He voted vain last time. Thinks Romney will screw the middle class.

I've started watching just to keep an eye on what they're up to.
They are on steroids this election cycle. They have the dispensing
of propaganda down to a science.

If this election turns out to be as close as the media is reporting
it will tell the tale. After the 2004 election a British newspapers
headline read "How Can 51 Million People Be This Stupid ?" How
indeed.
