    Peter Schiff is the guy who pumps up commodities near their peak. Of course he is saying things like this. He wants people to buy gold, so he can take huge gains, and they will be stuck with it when it is 600 dollars an ounce.

    Noted. But I keep telling you, the economy is measured by GNP, not by the unemployment figures . . . which dropped to 9.0, by the way.

    Noted. But voters measure the economy on their own income, not the GNP.

    Ah, but voters bring lots of such baggage. Polls overwhelmingly show that the middle class does not like the Republicans trying to give even more breaks to the billionaires. They approve of Obama's foreign policy. They remember who was in charge when the economy collapsed.

    And they don't vote for Mormons. :hihi:

    The polls also show Obama in a steady decline throughout his presidency, especially since May following a slight rebound. Also, the GOP made significant advances in the off-year election. Why are your facts good indicators, while these facts are not?

    Gallup Daily: Obama Job Approval

    And are we sure the Mormon is going to be the voters alternative to HandC (Hope and Change, for the less savvy)? I'm not.

    I'm convincingly sincere.
