these horrible things. that s a democratic argument. you have to count that in. senior citizens, 55 and older, 65% voted republican. the next group. paul ryan would not touch medicare who is in it or close to it. 45 to 64, republicans won 53% to 45 personally in house races. the democrats tried this. again it s not apples and apples. but they did raise this argument and said if you elect these guys you ll get that budget plan and they lost the argument. other issues were in play. wasn t this an anti-health care vote too? there were other factors in year. it was pro republican year, antiobama year. they ve seen that come at them. that s their counterargument. i want to take a quick break but go ahead. the idea we were going to own it anyway, they weren t going own it closely. didn t have to be a fight about motion security and now it is. it is different. they have, as i say, a bring it on choice for mitt romney. i guarantee in the fall. we haven t heard it from p
will join me in a minute. i ll ask him whether mitt romney was absent or sleeping when he approved that claim. but to be fair politicians make a lot of promises to get your vote that they don t keep. we tracked more than 500 promises that president obama made during his campaign in 2008 when he was candidate obama. he s kept 37% of those promises. he s working on 23% of them. he s broken 16% outright and compromised on 14% to get the job done. the rest, some of you like to tweet me a lot and point out the many promises that he hasn t kept. some of those broken promises can be blamed on congress. they are stalled because your lawmakers won t do a thing about them. i blame congress for things, but it s not congress that s going to stand in the way of romney s ridiculous promise, it s the state of the u.s. economy. 12 million jobs over four years, that s what romney is promising. that s 3 million jobs a year or an average of 250,000 jobs per month every month for an entire pre
go inside the temple where six people died at the hands of a white supremacist. we will take you there. let s go out front. good evening, everyone, i ve erin burnett. outfront tonight, out of balance. mitt romney took to the air waves today to lament the tone of the election and slam his rival. i m seeing some of the ads out there. i don t know what happened to the campaign of hope and change. his campaign and the people working for him have focused almost exclusively on person attacks and not at all on the issues of the day. personal attacks and not at all on the issues of the day. that charge actually goes both ways. both mitt romney and barack obama are guilty as sin. as those of you who watch the show know, we tried from day one to try to sand box poitics and find middle ground. quote, the campaign has already set records for nastiness and negativity. he says, this campaign has the sensibilities and i.q. of a typical middle school student council election. i ran f
in the swing state of colorado. there he is. let s listen in, shall we? and once again building around the core idea that built this country, the idea that if you work hard you can make it. the idea that in america everybody gets a fair shot. and everybody does their fair share. and everybody plays by the same set of rules. the idea that in america we rise or fall together. and government can t solve every problem, and it shouldn t try. and it certainly can t help folks who are not willing to help themselves, but there s some things that we can do together as a people that makes us all better off. that makes our country strong. and that our economy works best when the middle-class is growing and feeling secure. now, i have to tell you that we have less than three months left in the election. less than three months. time s flying. and over the next three months, you will see more negative ads, more money spent than you have ever seen in your life. i mean, these super pacs, a
