One minute you’re standing on solid ground and the next the trap door springs open and you’re falling through mid-air.
 
Last week, the New York Times reported Republican political consultants made a startling discovery: They discovered swing voters have a stubborn affinity for Barack Obama and President Obama’s economic failure is not enough to elect Mitt Romney.
 
That is earth-shattering news – for months Republican strategists have been shrugging off Obama’s attacks on Romney, saying, It’s the economy, stupid. That’s all there is. Nothing else matters – but now they’re saying the economy’s not enough.
 
Can it be the bedrock beneath our feet just turned to quicksand?

So, who, exactly, are these "swing voters"? Are they those that receive a great many entitlements? Are they those that don't pay federal income taxes? (you know, the 47% among us). Anyone know who these people are?

If I'm someone that wants a job that has great pay and wants to have all the "niceties" that those that do work have and someone that has decided to receive each and every entitlement available...you know, unemployment until it runs out and ONLY THEN, will I start looking for a job....well, um, yeah, I guess Obama will get the nod from these folks.

Struggling? Oh, come on...that's unfair. I mean, yeah, I know my folks and grandparents went through tough times and struggled to get to where they got...but me? C'mon, "America is too rich a country" for me to have to go through that.

Methinks that's the "swing voters" that are being polled and answering the questions by polling agencies.

I mean, hey....those that have should be taking care of those that have not...isn't that the new normal in our society since Obama came into power? You know it is.
