‘Real News From The Blaze:’ Romney on the Rise?

The Obama campaign has had a rough few weeks. With Mitt Romney making major gains in closing the gap with the incumbent in general election polls over the past month, the president’s awkward announcement of his support for gay marriage, and the botched attacks against his opponent’s private sector experience, the president’s reelection chances seem to be on the decline. While Obama already had little hope of winning Kentucky or Arkansas, his showing in last night’s Democratic primaries in the two states were an embarrassment. In Kentucky, 42 percent of Democrats voted “uncommitted”rather than for Barack Obama. In Arkansas an unknown Tennessee lawyer named John Wolfe won 41.6 percent. New polling in Florida shows Romney up six points.
With enthusiasm beginning to shift back to the right following an ugly primary, should Republicans begin to get excited for November?
On “Real News” Wednesday, Buck Sexton was hesitant in jumping on the bandwagon, commenting his belief that we haven’t seen the brunt of the Obama campaign just yet. Will Cain disagreed, stating that it now appears the president has laid his cards on the table with the Bain attacks, a move that Cain thinks is unwise.
“If this is Obama’s strategy, it’s chock full of shoot yourself in the foot” said Cain. “This is a self-destructive strategy that I’m not sure Mitt Romney has to play too much offense against.”

Posted on May 25, 2012 at 1:25pmHey, I noticed that the sets for the Blaze and for Glenn Beck usually have dark color and lighting. I think it would be a good idea to get more lights and make things brighter because people seem to be more attracted when there are brighter colors. Just an idea.

Posted on May 25, 2012 at 1:13amI just love that Glen Beck’s The Blaze website, which is supposedly a “news” site, actually has a section called “Real News”. At least this website acknowledges the fact that most of its stories are made-up fictitious BS! Unlike “Fox News” which tries to come across as a real news organization, while it really is a cable program that 24/7 reports fictitious made-up nonsense. Fox news is a GOP propaganda machine that rivals the propaganda machines of North Korea, China, and Russia!

Posted on May 24, 2012 at 11:44pmThat’s OK. The first step toward rehabilitation is recognizing the problem. You get it now. Welcome to the team. If you have any influence with freinds or family that may have voted the way you did the last time, try to convince them to reconsider their support for Obama as you have done. It’s not too late. We can still save our country, but the current White House resident has got to go. Romeny 2012!

Posted on May 23, 2012 at 9:29pmThis is a great country and people can vote for whoever they want. The sad part is that our great America is like the sinking titanic…. The people voting for Paul or Obama are like the band on the ship…. Keep playing your tune while we are all going to lose our country. I personally can not take another 4 years of Obama. Our country is in shambles. My vote is for Romney. God bless us and god bless the USA.

Posted on May 23, 2012 at 10:50pmRomney is the Rhino and I’m going to vote for him over King Hussein mainly because I believe it will slow down the progressive agenda until we can put the right kind of conservatives in the Republican party. I believe the TEA party grass roots push to get rid of the Rhinos is working and will continue to work to ensure more “real” conservatives are moved into office that will bring America back to her roots and rid us of the progressive socialist.
The right needs to take back the WH, the senate and keep the house and push through all the measures to get us back on track to prosperity. Balanced budget amendment is a necessity, term limits would be greatly appreciated, more limits to executive orders by the President.
Time to do away with the fema control, NSA, post office, National School Board, enforce immigration laws and drill for oil and gas in a responsible way. It’s time for every American to get a job and get off of entitlements. You are better off providing for yourself even if it isn’t more than the entitlements you receive, as long as you allow them to provide for you, you will always be giving your rights away.

Posted on May 23, 2012 at 8:45pmHonestly, it’s way too early to talk about who is gaining momentum and who is slipping. Let’s take this time to get ready for the battle ahead. Let’s get through the conventions, find out who Romney is going to pick for VP, and go from there. I wouldn’t name my VP until I absolutely had to. The less time this candidate, whoever he or she may be, spends in the water with the media sharks the better. You saw what they did to Sarah Palin.

Posted on May 23, 2012 at 9:06pmWhy do you need to find out who the VP nominee is going to be? If his VP nominee were Carrot Top would that make you consider voting for Obama / Biden?
The scuttlebutt that I’m hearing is that Axelrod seems to think he can off Biden and get Hilary on the ticket still…
I think Romney Takes Condi Rice. Who do you think he will pick?

Posted on May 23, 2012 at 9:53pmAll I am saying is that to never underestimate the power of the media and their dedication to manipulating the truth. All I can say about Mormonism is to respond with “Wait a minute. Aren’t we supposed to be tolerant of EVERYONE? Can’t we all get along? What difference does his faith have to do with the horrible economic condition Obama has driven this country to. Talk about driving into the ditch. Like Bill Clinton famously once said: “It’s about the economy, stupid.” Religion should be off the table. Period. Wouldn’t you agree, Mr. President?

Your a freaking ridiculous rube if you think that President Obama wins re-election, because he is a Mormon. The President’s father was a Polygamist Muslim. O ate Dog /Romney carried the dog in a dog carrier. Nobody is Obama Lite,…. Romney is not a Communist, and Oblamer is one, plus he is a horrific disaster of disaster’s, he(O) is the disastrous Obamunist. He is the most pathetic joke of a President that we have ever seen in this countries history.YOU and His administration can’t change the history books fast enough to get him re-elected. He can only win with mass fraud (Dead People et al)
Your a ridiculous leftist troll, so you don’t know what value voters are but (value voter’s would vote for an old shoe or a soiled sock over this disastrous O. This Paul Supporter will support Romney, because Paul will get a cabinet position in the Romney Administration, and even if Paul supporters won’t vote Romney (which 90% of them will) The other 10% won’t vote for disastrous O…
All signs point to a Landslide, so how do you like those apples Mr. or Miss Liberal Leftist Individual? Capeche?

Disastrous O is losing his Moderate’s and Independents rapidly.
He literally hopes to win re-election with his ridiculous shrinking lot of Obamunist‘s leftist’s (Acorn, SEIU, Commies et al) His Eric Holder dead people and non citizens voting campaigns. His fraud division is getting traction, but it’s hard when 75% of the USA is downright astounded by the ineptitude of disastrous O.

Posted on May 23, 2012 at 8:26pmI think the Obama campaign will continue pushing the Bain attack. Obama doesn’t have a record to run on so of course he is going to attack Mitt with silly topics such as Bain, or being a bully. I also think that Romney is doing fine. Were not even to June yet, so I predict that Mitt is just waiting to release a bunch of Bain success stories more towards November when more people will be paying attention.
