Talk about a coverup!

From the WSJ:
The U.S. Labor Department on Monday said it hasn’t made a decision yet on whether to delay Friday’s October jobs report, the final reading on the labor market before next week’s federal elections.

A Labor official said the agency will assess the schedule for all its data releases this week when the “weather emergency” is over.
I understand that the DC offices are closed; however, telecommuting is still authorized. I don’t buy it.

And some wonder why people people questioned the the 7.8% number last month. It looks to me like there is a bad job reports, perhaps the rate has gone up and rather that it be all over the news a few days before an election they have found a reason perhaps not to report it

The past few weeks I have been cautiously optimistic that Mitt can pull a victory.Now,I am vacillating between that opinion and doubt,due to voter fraud and the very fact that it remains so close.I am beginning to pray that I will be able to accept the fact that if Obama does win another term,that I can accept it as God’s will.Remember,He alone can bring good out of every evil.🤷

Please hold up a positive victory picture for Romney. The battle is the Lord’s. Instead of praying for acceptance of the worst outcome, pray for God’s power prevail over any fraud. Please.

Jesus, I trust in You.

I don’t know whether the strom will effect the election.

I do believe strongly that the President does care about people and to suggest that he would feign such concern isn’t fair.

Both Romney and Obama are career politicians and so have real problems inherent with that. At the same time I do believe they are basically good guys and do have consern and empathy for people in difficult circumstances.

In other words I don’t believe that either of them are sociopaths.

I said: Obama will play the visible role of sympathetic President to the hilt, whether genuine or not (I can’t read his heart).

I said I cannot read his heart; I did not say he didn’t care. I just don’t know. I personally believe his re-election and legacy mean more to Obama than anything other than his family.

Oh, I don’t think we can predict how the storm could effect the election. It will affect everyone and will have passed by election day.

Only from thevstandpoint that our Country and it’s citizenry will be suffering to the extent that it will really wake everyone up,especially those who obviously prefer to stick their heads in the sand and refuse to see what awaits us with another term for O. Don’t get me wrong,I am praying mightily that God will bless us with a new president next Tuesday,I just don’t want to fall into a state of despair if it goes otherwise.

You are praying for Romney to win? Is that how prayer works??? I never knew. . . .

Regardless who wins the election, it will NOT be God’s will. God gave us free will, and has allowed mankind to make mistakes, to sin, to choose the wrong leaders, all without jumping in and rescuing us from our mistakes.

If Romney wins, I will not attribute any of that victory to God, and if Obama is re-elected, it will be our choice, not God’s. We, most of us anyway, are NOT Muslims who attribute everything that happens to the Will of God.

We’ve even had some bad Popes, and all that the Holy Ghost protected was the faith, not those few individuals.

Conspiratorial much? That’s the kind of thinking that will emerge through spending too much time on Breitbart. :cool:

Nearly one-in-three Ohio voters (32%) have already cast their ballots. Obama leads 62% to 36% among these voters. Romney has a large lead among those who still plan to vote. The question of who wins Ohio may come down to whether enough Romney voters get to the polls on Election Day to overcome the president’s lead among early voters. Scott Rasmussen has noted that “Wisconsin May Be The New Ohio.”To win the election, Romney will have to win at least one of these two battleground states.

(1) With Obama holding a nearly 2-1 favorable early vote margin with 32% of all Ohio votes cast, I remain skeptical as to whether Mitt Romney can overcome such a deficit.

(2) Ohio is still a toss-up, according to Rasmussen. Worse, I am doubtful Romney can clinch Wisconsin given its political history.

(3) Hurricane Sandy may very well interrupt Romney’s momentum heading into the final week before Election Day.

Summary: I see the glass half-empty for my candidate Mitt Romney. I would appreciate optimistic (name removed by moderator)ut from fellow Republicans and conservatives.

30000 more republicans have early voted in Ohio compared to 2008; 22000 less democrats have

Obama’s fuzzy Ohio early vote math

Watch Out for Phony Early Vote Numbers in Ohio

National Review has an article on the impact of the hurricane

‘I’m Sandy, and I’m Here to Eat This Week’s News Cycles’
The first political impact of Sandy is an interruption of early voting in the affected states. Some states, like Pennsylvania, don’t have much early voting, but Virginia does (technically, it’s in-person filling out of absentee ballots), and 10 of Virginia’s 95 counties have suspended voting for today.

Presumably most of the folks who would have voted early today will vote as soon as the storm clears, or on Election Day, so this shouldn’t drive down turnout very much. But all of the voter-contact operations scheduled for today and tomorrow – the phone banking, the door-knocking, etc. — are now either on hold or greatly minimized. The Romney campaign has effectively stopped campaigning until Wednesday, except for one event in Iowa, and the president will be off the trail (although at this hour, Joe Biden and Bill Clinton are still campaigning).

Then there’s the issue of power outages. There’s not much point in running television ads or geographically targeted web ads in places where people don’t have electricity to turn on their televisions or computers.
Click to expand...
In the places that still have power, the campaigns will have to be careful with their tone. For the next few days, negative attacks have a much higher risk of backfiring. This would appear to be a challenge to the Obama campaign, as they’re still running extremely negative attack ads on television. Then again, as we’ve watched Romney’s steady increase in the polls and Obama hit that 47 percent ceiling, the heavily negative approach doesn’t seem to be working. Perhaps Sandy would be doing the campaign a favor, by forcing them to shift to their (presumably positive) closing message a week early.

On television this morning, there was some talk that the storm would help Obama “look presidential.” Of course, “looking presidential” really shouldn’t be much of a problem for an incumbent president.
Click to expand...
Perhaps the best “narrative” to come out of the storm for President Obama will be a sense that FEMA and all of the federal agencies are responding quickly and appropriately to the storm, and those few remaining undecided or wavering voters will feel better about him as a manager and leader during a crisis. The best “narrative” for Romney will be that for the final week of the campaign, the negative attacks stop and the race is frozen in place at this strong point for Romney — a lead in most of the national polls, good news in all of the state polling except for PPP, finally a poll showing a lead in Ohio, a big enthusiasm gap in favor of Republicans. Finally, if the power’s gone out, the neighborhood is a mess, trees are down everywhere, the gas stations are out of gasoline, etcetera . . . . it’s hard to see that stirring up enthusiasm for the incumbent

To be theologically technical, one might say the results of the election are part of God’s permissive will, but not necessarily his positive will. 😉

He hasn’t interfered up to now. God really and truly gave man free will! BTW, there have been, historically, far more attacks on the Church than now. Just go through the centuries and see what they were.

If Catholic hospitals, clinics and schools may close because of the HHS mandate that is persecution

He did give man free will, no doubt.

However, the wind of the Battle of Lepanto leaps to mind. 😉

Okay. Still, He hasn’t, in my opinion, made any positive moves relative to any election. I defer to your statement. 🙂
