I'm apparently a terrible, awful person.

I've posted the latest battleground-state and national polls - almost all of which auger poorly for the president at the moment.

I've posted my own opinions about his debate performance last Wednesday, his bewildering failure to jump on Romney for lying like two thousand rugs during that debate, and the fact that he gifted the media their much-desired chance to unspool the "Romney's back" narrative.

And for that, I'm being told to calm down, stop wetting my pants, stop being a troll, and that I'm only posting this stuff in order to be able to say "Toldya so," which is my personal favorite.

Guess what, folks?

YES, the media sucks out loud. YES, Romney's use of the Kitten Laser Debate Tactic - i.e. flash a dot of light all over the place and send them into a frenzy - has exposed once again how vapid and feckless the "mainstream" news coverage has been...and further underscores the danger of electing a man who treats the truth the way pigeons treat statues in the park.

None of this is in dispute.

The media sucked the day before the debate. The media sucked the day after the debate. The media sucks right now, and will suck tomorrow. Hate it all you want, but that's the terrain we have to fight on, and as of right now, that terrain has gotten harder for us.

Saying so is not a crime. Saying so, in fact, underscores the HUGE NECESSITY for the Obama campaign to retake the narrative the way they did all this summer up to the Wednesday debate. They have Biden the day after tomorrow, and the president has two more shots, to do so in the debate forum.

They have four Tuesdays left to do so.

The polls suck right now, but they are also muddy, and do not yet reflect Friday's positive jobs report, nor do they reflect the Obama campaign's efforts to underscore the degree to which Romney lied his ass off in that debate.

IN NO WAY am I saying Obama is doomed and this thing is over.

Far from it.

But the road to victory just got a lot more difficult after a relatively easy summer.

Pointing that out is not a crime.

And P.S., I'll stop "wetting my pants" when this thing is over.

5. ^^^ This ^^^

...is the kind of response I'm talking about.

Gee, genius, does the fact that you posted in my thread mean you're aching for attention, too?

How about dealing with the OP instead of dealing in insults?

11. It's a attention thing with the DoomSayers

You see first they go attack Obama for any little thing. Then when the people are pointing out what is happening it has to be they are the victim. It can't be seen as anything of their doing that is causing people to disagree. These people will post thread after thread even making ones calling anyone who disagrees with them that you are the delusional one not them. There is not point of understanding with them instead just take all bad news and say the sky is falling. I'd like to see them say one nice thing about Obama. Come on you can all say one nice thing about what Obama has done. I challenge them.

I have noticed that the Bostonian DrUnkard seems to be posting a bit more.
The lack of attention must really be eating on him.

Is it the attention? or is it reality sinking in?

I was just thinking of WillPitt this morning, when I saw the Jerry Sandusky sentencing on TV.

Of course there's a huge difference.

Sandusky, despite his perversion, had a successful career.

WillPitt, since his little "problem" with Boston schoolgirls, has been an unemployable alcoholic.

Poor Will, polls today, AFTER the bogus jobs number, show Romney pretty much surging. Keep deluding yourselves...it'll just make your during/after defeat all the more sweet.

An 'Auger' is a spiral tool for drilling holes.  'Augur' is a term meaning foreshadow or predict an outcome, from Latin roots in ancient Rome, where the word is involved with Pagan religious rites of divination seeking an oracular sanction for a pending venture.  You should probably have nadin'd the word before posting that.
