I figured that much out. I was looking for what you specifically find wrong. Like I said, there might have been a misunderstanding, which would lead to a discussion. What are the facts that counter his assertion?
Would this be solved if he added that these 'facts' are maters of his opinion? You aren't just arguing semantics of how he used the word fact?

A lot of his predictions are fairly reasonable.
I love how our nations hate spreaders (mahr, hannity, rush and the like) have polarized the nation with easily disproved lies.
He 'fusedmasses' that a lot, but I think he is close to right on at least a couple.

That's why I want to see why it's wrong. I think there s good discussion to be had. I just hope it's not just him saying 'fact' instead of 'opinion'. That would be lame...
Yeah, that's pretty much his argument. I don't agree with that, however. Rasmussen's polls, which exclude cell phone numbers and thus probably undersample Democrat leaning voters, tend to paint a picture of a pretty tight race. The aggregate polls on RCP are probably pretty close to the population dynamics.
I'm not sure, I haven't really looked at the data. But, African American voters are overwhelmingly Democrat, so I'd be surprised if he had that much.Does this mean Romney has 13% of the African American vote?

When survival is the goal, it's into the spider hole!
It's about as bad as the people saying that Obama is out to destroy America. It's sensationalistic doomsaying.
"Facts if" still means "facts" and not "opinions".
Romney just took the lead among likely voters according to gallup poll. Intrade numbers crashed Obama's chance of winning to under 60%.

When that is followed with a list of what are clearly predictions its kind of silly to get hung up on it.
But going down the list theres:
1) Iran. This is dependent greatly on future events but its not terribly unreasonable to expect Romney would take us to military action there if the situation arises.
2) Obamacare gutting. Well yeah.
3) Stem Cell research has traditionally not done well under the GOP as they try to appease social conservatives with more fervor than reason.
4) Not sure about this one.
5) The GOP has been pretty open about their dislike of stuff like Dodd Frank. Romney says repeal and replace but I suspect its going to be "repeal and replace at a date to be determined"
6) Assuming another war in the middle east gas prices would go up.
7) Mostly crazy talk, though you can expect increased tension with those countries if we go to war with Iran.
8) I'll have to read more about his plan.
But all in all? Not exactly crazy town stuff.
Honestly, how can anyone predict ANYTHING Romney will do when he's been on multiple sides of almost every issue? The only thing I'm pretty sure of is that he'll cut the income tax rate for the wealthy, and the Estate tax and Capital Gains taxes if he can. Anything else is a total mystery.
I think the safe money is that he'll just play the party line.

I'm not sure how I'm putting words in his mouth.
Implying that what he's saying is factually correct and provable.He are some facts if Romney gets elected:
But I'm wrong, so I'll stop.
