Comments about ‘Disputed new swing states poll gives President Obama edge’

As they say, "Figures don't lie, but LIARS do figure."

Earlier this week, Romney declared he'd let a renewable energy tax incentive expire while campaigning in Iowa -- another major gaffe in a state that gets over 20 percent of its electricity from wind energy, and wind is a significant part of the state's overall economy benefiting farmers (land leases) and manufacturing in the region.

He said this, obviously, to appeal to his right-wing, Koch-financed base, but all it has done is spark criticisms from GOP governors and congressional members where wind is booming in their states -- from Iowa, Texas, Kansas, and Colorado.

Romney has essentially lost Colorado given that the battleground state has several wind turbine manufacturers, and the loss of the tax credit will hurt future wind development and jobs.

What Romney hasn't figured out yet is that fossil fuels and nuclear have enjoyed massive federal subsidies for decades (for drilling, pipelines, ports for oil imports, maintaining of nuke waste, etc.) -- and Romney hasn't announced any plans to eliminate any of those subsidies... I guess the GOP's "all the above strategy" is really a smoke screen for keeping America addicted to oil, coal, nuclear, and gas.

Disputed Poll Results = The poll didn't show the numbers we wanted it to.

Nothing new here. If a poll shows Mitt close or on top, it's a sign of the tide turning, a hint of his chances to be President.

If a poll shows the President in the lead, which the vast majority of polls are currently showing, they are biased and should be discounted.

Funny thing was those same biased polls all showed Obama with a 5-6 point lead running up to the 2008 election. He ended up winning by 7.2%. Guess they weren't really that biased after all.

Polls can be valid but I would suggest this is not a valid poll as there is nothing solid to pin the data on. If they are disputed and new states, then the statistical information is few a far between. The Chicago group will come someone whose numbers support their candidate. The President is out with his own campaign advertisements about 90 days earlier than any other in-office President as he knows his numbers are solid, as last time, when he snuffed Hilliary Clinton out of the race and went on his Hope and Change campaign. His economic policies have failed with the Secretary of the Treasury who can't even figure out his own taxes. Geithner is a puppet and knows how to repeat what he is told to say. We have been waiting for 3 1/2 years for a policy and an Obama Budget to get through the process on his own. If people want to have more of the same from this President, we will be deeper in debt and the middle class will be thrown into the pond without a paddle nor a life-preserver. Hope for a change is what we want.
