Remember when likely voters loved Obama and hated Romney? The hundreds of millions of dollars that Obama and his minions have spent trying to destroy Romney's reputation have officially failed. My faith in my fellow Americans is being restored day by day.

As Winston Churchill once observed, "Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing...after they have exhausted all other possibilities."

Light is the best disinfectant known to man and Romney is finally shining the light on Obama's failures. If the media had been doing its job these past five years, we might have been spared this failed presidency. At the very least, Democrats would have been running a better candidate this year.

For first time, Romney's favorability rating tops Obama's

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has finally cleared what many aides have long seen as his biggest hurdle: A majority of voters now like him.

According to multiple polls, Romney's favorability rating has surged since the Republican National Convention and in most he equals or bests President Obama's favorables.

And late Thursday, the Pew Research Center, the poll that has been toughest on Romney's favorability, released results showing that Romney is ahead of Obama by a point, 50 percent to 49 percent. That is a stunning turnaround from March, when Obama's favorable rating in Pew was about twice Romney's, 55 percent to 29 percent.

Gallup also has Romney beating Obama on the favorability rating, 52 percent to 51 percent.

Even the liberal DailyKos/SEIU/PPP poll has Romney beating Obama on the fave rating, 49 percent to 46 percent.

I don't know how anyone can like either of these guys.

We are screwed either way.

Neither will balance the budget.
Neither will reduce deficit.
Both are controlled by lobbyist.

Sadly, both of these guys are the epitome of what most think of when they think politician. Neither one really stands for anything, both are full of more BS than a manure factory.

We will either go bankrupt doling out money to the lazy, or fighting wars in some god forsaken part of the world so defense contractors, banks, oil companies and other large multinational groups can haul in the dough. All while filling the heads of young American men and women with ideas like valor, freedom, honor, and duty. So they can send them off to die for no good reason.
