We are now out numbered and out voted by a few antbeds in urban areas that are so dense that they throw off the whole vote.

“First of all, let me congratulate President Obama on his successful reelection.”

I appreciate your civility—but I cannot join you in that sentiment. I am just too heartbroken this morning.

“I had to console my 17 year old daughter last night who feels her future is gone.”

______________________________________________

Your daughter is wise.

The burden on our children is the worst part of this debacle. At the risk of repeating myself, it is heartbreaking.

Perhaps, with time, a phoenix will rise from the ashes; it is young people like your daughter who give me hope for the future.

She has great parents. Please give her a hug from me (I’m a 50 year-old mom with a 17 year-old son and 13 year-old daughter), and from, I imagine, the rest of the FReeper community.

none of the usual analytical methods work when both candidates are drawing a declining number of voters out to vote. At the moment, with probably 98% of all votes counted, BOTH Romney and Obama received fewer votes than George W. Bush in 2004!

Historically total votes for President simply don't drop ~ but that seems to be the case this year.

People are not happy. Time for me to get out my crates of red armbands and start selling them on the net. Someone got a grievance, show the world with a red arm band ~ $10 ~ such and so post office box ~ money orders only!

BTW, the vote totals will change as absentees are counted ~ someday. But I don't think anybody is hiding 10 million spare votes out there.

Um, early voting was down in all of our key counties. That's why we thought we had a chance to win.

TURNOUT WAS DOWN nationally by 14 million (hardly a sign of massive fraud). Obama won by 9.5 m in 08, we should have had a 5m vote margin of victory. It wasn't fraud.

“When do the concentration camps open?”

There’s a chilling thought! Maybe they are going to build the furnaces, first.

After all-other ‘leaders’ with radically populist and polarizing agendas solved THEIR social problems by building furnaces!

I realize this is a really bizarre thing to say... but at this point, I feel that the word ‘impossible’ has been deleted from the lexicon and that I can expect ANYTHING!

“O” pawned the future of young people and of everyone else as well.

There is positively NO merit in a government which is in place soley to guarantee the comforts of citizens who have been reduced to the state of fat lazy cattle, and who possess no sense of responsibility for themselves. This is an immoral state for human beings. This group of citizens has no pride in theselves as individuals or shame at being maintained by the state!

“...rationalist humanism amounts to the attempt to construct civil and political society from an ethical vacuum....” Capaldi

Manufactured is my guess. Romney did nothing wrong that I can see. If anything, he did not take the bait. I would be checking not only voters; I would be checking the SOS of each state before the commit felonies when signing off on this guy. It has been reported many times how Soros bought them off.

They didn’t allow the military to vote. Add that to the fraud list.

Why do you think so many Pubbies sat out the race and didn’t vote?

Were they evangelicals who didn’t like Mitt’s Mormonism?

Conservatives who didn’t like Mitt’s past stances?

I am so confused why anyone would sit out this election..

Thanks,

Ed

I agree with you that the military vote was suppressed by failures of state bureaucrats to mail out ballots on time. Several GOP congresscritters were complaining about that last week.

Yes, that's disgraceful and even criminal if it was deliberate and politically motivated on the part of the 'Rats. But as a single factor, I don't think it's enough by itself to account for the numbers we've seen.

Now here's something that's intuitively impossible to explain by anything but compromised vote recording and/or tabulation: Romney got 2 and half million fewer votes nationally than John McCain did four years ago. (Just heard that on Rush Limbaugh's show.) Now how can that be explained in view of the obvious enthusiasm displayed by the very large crowds, etc., compared to McCain? There was no comparison between the two.

When do the concentration camps open?

And who is going to open them?
Romney won the military vote 3 to 1. After Obama left Americans to die in Libya, they are even more anti-Obama.
Then factor in a 100 million hunters/ firearms owners, many who are police ex police ex military etc and just who is going to end up locked up if they try that shit?

Romney won the military vote 3 to 1.

Sounds about right, but the total military vote was suppressed. Please see posts #s 33 and 35.

Voting machines were voting Obama when Romney was selected. That was all over the place. How many votes was that?

This is a discouraging outcome. I don’t know how anyone could vote for Obama this year. There is a Milky Way size debt, continued high unemployment, a rising Arab Spring with a decidedly radiacl Islamist tilt, and a President who’s more interested in celebrity than policy. Is there anything he’s been successful at?

The fact that we almost won provides a small spring of hope. As of now, Obama’s popular vote margin is only
60,132,028 to 57,432,727, far from a mandate. The Republicans waged a national campaign while the Democrats ran a state-by-state campaign and that brought them the electoral vote. Conservatives not only held the U.S. House of Representatives, but may increase our margin. The outcome in the U.S. Senate races are entirely due to poor candidates on our side (especially Missouri and Indiana).

The American people who make their choices intelligently need to hang in there for another four years and hope that no U.S. Supreme Court justices retire.

Please, it is not Matt Drudge and Anne Coulter’s fault.
