Many people would go willingly, especially if they didn’t have basic needs being met.I’ll bet Obama tries to establish the shadow paramilitary force that was talked about during his first term.

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

Please be more specific. What type of technology regarding the voting machines are we talking about? Electronic touch screens? Or something else?

Also, in what states do you know of complaints along these lines? I know this happened in Colorado during early voting, but haven't seen articles about other specific instances - yet.

I saw that Allan West's people are complaining about voting irregularities in Florida, where he is down by 2400 votes, though absentees (including a lot of military, I'd assume) haven't come in yet.

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

Early voting was reported at all time highs and everyone was talking about the long lines yesterday. Amazing, huh.

Most people wouldn't notice. When they get to the end, they just hit enter and leave without a thought. Just like most people don't bother checking their reciepts at the grocery store. They "assume" it's right, sign their name and are out the door. There's no way of knowing what happened once the votes got into the system and were counted.

When they redistrict every 10 years half the time we get an overflow crowd at the precinct voting station, and half the time we end up with an empty hall.

You hear only of the overcrowded places, not of the empty ones.

Better minds than mine are trying to make sense of this.

My take is that Obama is a larger than life figure - a personality that has assumed the status of cult leader. Can you imagine anyone but Obama being able to pull this off? Biden, Reid, or any of the other dinosaurs in that party?

Despite all his failures, there are still a lot of people out there who project on to him what they want to see. Young people see someone cool and hip who they like because their parents and grandparents do not like. Minorities see him as the ultimate revenge on white people. Minority women see him as the husband and/or Dad who stuck around. Women in general see him as a caring Dad and husband and quite frankly I’m sure a lot of women think he’s sexy. Working class men believe he swooped in to save their livelihood a la the auto bailout.

Democrats have offered goodies to all their core constituencies during the past four years. Despite what they can see out there with their own eyes, they choose to disbelieve what they see in favor of believing everything Obama says. It’s him and his sycophants against the world. They’re a tight, cozy coterie that lives in their own bubble of truth. They are also the most self centered and self absorbed group of people to ever emerge as a majority in the American electorate. They care nothing about the greater good of this and future generations. They care only about what they have been told they personally deserve and are entitled to. The Me Generation has taken over our electorate and the Democrats have their finger dead center on the pulse of this group.

Romney was the Grinch who was going to steal Christmas. Obama was the coolest, hippest Santa that ever lived.

I don’t care how sound and well stated your arguments are, they will fall on deaf ears if you have an electorate which is only concerned about what they can get, not what they can give. And whose thoughts extend only as far as the next text message they receive.

Republicans will never be able to give out more than Democrats do. That’s a losing battle.

Like it or not, we’re going to have to come up with our version of Obama as far as being hip and cool goes (not his deceptiveness). We can’t run another Grandfather.

The goose that laid the golden egg is slowly being strangled to death. But Obama is King.

“The American people who make their choices intelligently need to hang in there for another four years...”

My FRiend, what makes you think they’ll be anything left in another four years? This election was it.

Maybe they’re a shovel-ready project. Maybe they’re opening tomorrow. Maybe they’ll never open, but something else will that hasn’t been done before. Whatever is going to happen next, it isn’t America any longer. Leave America. It’s already left you. Australia, Israel, New Zealand, Antarctica, wherever. Go there. Don’t stay.

Some things just don’t make sense this election and I’ve talked to friends who agree. Fewer Obama signs, less talk and seemingly less enthusiasm. Our people were pumped up and out there voting and then BOOM, like a zot out of the sky, Dingle-Barry wins........

I agree with you, Obama has been unleashed, he showed his true face during this election, telling outright lies about Romney, he has been rewarded for being full of iniquity, there will be hell to pay. The voters decided to kill the Golden Goose, what will they say when they run out of food stamps. Cause it’s gonna happen, you can’t declare war on the working man and give to the takers. Eventually, there will be nothing left to give, what then? We are not part of Obama’s plan, he looks at us with contempt.

My daughter just graduated from college, some people she knows are in college right now, 4 roommates, receiving a combined amount of 1,000 per month worth of foodstamps. They spend their extra cash on expensive clothes. That’s why we lost. People have no shame, they feel they are owed. That’s why Obama won. Don’t you go blaming other hard working Americans for this injustice by delaring some sort of twisted class warfare trash. Class warfare is not the answer, I don’t care how you decide to repackage it.

Is it possible that they just didn’t count our votes?

Are you sure you wanted to respond to my post? People are not lost they just did not have a clear, viable, alternative. The candidate did not lay out a solid case for why Obama is such a loser and how he’s destroyed us. You can not win with rino’s it’s been PROVEN over 5 elections now...I blame the republican party for being such stupid dumbasses as to not know how to beat an incumbent with THIS economy! To keep using the failed strategies of the past is ludicrous!

Now he can finish the fundamental transformation of America. Just today, two interesting stories came out. One is that they’re empowering TSA (you know, the government-paid perverts who feel people up at airports) to monitor everywhere you travel. The other is that last week, one of our drones in international airspace was attacked by two Iranian planes. (I wonder why we’re finding out about that now.)

Obama has his Internet kill switch, his monitoring of your every movement, his ability to arrest anyone any time for no reason, and other tyrannical powers. He has absolutely no moral scruples about using any of them, because he has more flexibility now that he’s been re-elected. And there is NO limit to what is permissible under the moral code to which Hussein subscribes. NONE.

He also demonstrated that he is completely lacking in basic human compassion. four Americans are murdered and the worst he can say is that “you’ll always have bumps in the road” and that’s “not optimal.” He should have been hung with those remarks — but that would violate the Marquis of Queensbury rules by which the Establishment RINO losers play politics.

Whatever it takes to eliminate any opposition is what he’ll try. And don’t expect Speaker Wah Wah to allow any Republican to stand up to it.

Hussein is a totalitarian who has shown his true colors — and they are not red, white, and blue.

Hussein thinks he should be caliph. That’s the real reason he authorized the bin Laden killing — to eliminate a rival.

You can’t win when they don’t count your vote. Think about it, all the early voting, Spain counting the votes, the best form of voter fraud is just to never count the votes in the first place. Using dead people to vote? Forget about it, that’s too compicated. It’s easier just to never count the votes in the first place. Figure it out? Why does Obama seem like a Dictator? Cause he IS! What’s the number one thing Dictators do? They steal elections. Once we stop blaming each other and start looking at them, that’s when the stuff will hit the fan, cause they are coming for you and for me. Cause as long as we are fighting each other, we are manageble.
