Thanks to people like you who didn’t vote for Romney, medical rationing will be here SOON. If you’re an older person, schedule your knee replacement ASAP. My nephew & his wife in CA are thrilled about the upcoming “marriage equality”

Maybe you need a hip replacement. Don’t put it off one minute longer, or you’ll be on a waiting list. Maybe you’re just too old, according to obamacare.

To You people who think Romney isn’t good enough for you:
Do not complain about obama anymore. I don’t want to hear it.

How was Romney who is also not a Christian the to hold up Christian values?

Why do you demand that the President double as your spiritual leader?

The President's job should be to keep the bureaucracy from messing up the economy, and to keep us safe from foreign violence, and otherwise leave us alone to manage our own affairs.

I have a feeling that the Evangelicals who opposed Romney would have been similarly peeved at a Catholic, Orthodox, or Jewish candidate. Or even a candidate outside their own tiny sect.

I didn’t vote for Obama either. What part of the Electoral College to you people NOT understand??!?!?!

A vote for VG was not a vote for Romney (who is not God or a savior) nor was a it a vote for Obama!!!

Take a civics class, people!!

I think we all agree with Mormon values.

What’s your point?

I'm not suicidal, just disappointed. I live in the Buckle of the Bible Belt, and Evangelicals voted by the millons for Romney. I would have felt the same about a Catholic candidate. I don't agree with their theology, but.......

Eisenhower, didn't become a born again Christian until after he was elected.

“HAVE FAITH IN GOD, NOT MAN.”

Most of us do, but too many evangelicals follow the man and not God by idolizing their preacher who tells them what to believe. Many of the mega-church preachers are getting rich off of having O in office. Beware of false prophets. A lot are starting to act like black preachers, if the preacher if wealthy then it will come back to the members.

There were several reasons I voted for Romney:

1 - He’s not a muslim & he would support Israel.

2 - He loves America & is proud of it.

3 - He is fiscally to the right of Obama.

I never expected anything on social issues other than SLIGHTLY less liberal Supreme Court justices.

I wasn’t electing a pastor. At this point, I would be content just to have someone in office who loves America and doesn’t bow to the Saudi King!

The Bible also says this:

Matthew 7:16
You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Most people dont know about a lot of good deeds he has done off camera:

http://www.glennbeck.com/2012/09/14/watch-glenn-reveals-the-real-mitt-romney/

so basically you helped a Muslim that worships the false demon god, Allah get elected. How do you feel now?

“I refuse to compromise my CHRISTIAN FAITH and vote for Romney. I am beholden to my Commanding Officer - Jesus Christ alone.”

Welcome to the Jungle. You just voted for the Muslim...

I pay my own medical bills TYVM and it is foolish to think Romney would be any different, last month he said he was PROUD to the ‘grandfather of Obamacare’.

It isn’t my fault, it is the GOPs for throwing up Romney instead of a conservative.

Even if I had voted for Romney, it wouldn’t change the outcome, I don’t live in a swing state.

“The GOP-e thinks Evangelicals are dumb hicks, but they surely can’t win when even a fraction of that base stays home.”

You have proven their point and also proven that you don’t believe in the Constitution. Throwing away Religious Freedom in the name of your belief is stupidity.

I don’t live in any of those states. I didn’t help and as a CHRISTIAN I COULD NOT vote for MITT or OBAMA. I would be a hypocrite if I had.

I disagree. Most conservative Christians voted against the anti-God, anti-Jew/Christian party. We don’t have statistics from the election yet. We lost due to campaign and voter fraud.

Taking a survey: How many of you attend a Christian church, of any denomination, where you heard an anti-Mormon sermon? Wondering if it happened in evangelical churches or in mainline?

You can thank the GOPe. And I am a humble sinner saved by grace. I quit feeling ‘godly’ when I was saved from the evils of Mormonism and quit trying to earn godhood for myself.

I voted for a Christian, Conservative who opposes abortion and homosexuality. Can you say the same?

Given that most of Congress’s GOP contingent held on their seats, it wouldn’t surprise me if there was a big anti-Mormon vote among Democrats, Republicans and Independents.

The Bible is filled with examples of unbelievers and very flawed individuals doing God’s work. He could have used Mitt Romney that way...and I’m just disgusted that my evangelical brothers and sisters apparently didn’t see that.

You know what? Mormonism is wrong in my opinion, but Mitt Romney is a friendly, good-spirited guy who genuinely loves America. You can’t say the same about Obamao. That alone would have made a significant difference, divine ordinance or not.

But it would be a mistake to place the blame squarely on evangelicals. It was a combination of factors:

-Evangelicals (apparently)
-Chris Christie
-Hurricane Sandy
-The media
-Romney himself for playing it safe on Benghazi, etc.
-Schools and colleges, for churning out an entire generation of leftist ideologues
-Every one of us for falling for the line that the polls were all rigged just like we did in 2008

And those are only a few off the top of my head.

To: who knows what evil?

IIRC one of the complaints that was filed was by a R poll watcher who was supposed to be able to observe that the tallies started at zero. She was not allowed to observe that. I strongly doubt that was an accident and I wonder how many different places that happened.

I want to see the signatures on the voter rolls and the D and R poll-watchers’ check-off lists to see what percentages of their registered voters actually voted.
