Romney lost for two reasons. First, was the voter fraud, but secondly and most importantly, many on our side simply stayed home on election day.
There was voter fraud but it was not as widespread as you think because it was unnecessary. There were many more on our side who would not vote for Romney under any circumstances and nor the consequences.
The election wasn’t even close.
Those are both true, but the reason so many of our folks stayed home, is because they saw through Romney, and correctly sized him up for the big government, liberal statist that he is.
Folks need to stop blaming the voters for this mess, and assign blame where it belongs -- to the RINO GOP-e and their liberal candidate.
Other than the massive voter fraud, I think the biggest reason why the election was lost, is because the DNC was allowed to define what the election was about. Romney was constantly on the defensive. Only time he wasn’t, was during the 1st debate. The one where he ripped Obama to shreds, and Obama appeared stoned. After that, it was always one libel attack after another, while Romney played the role of a gentleman. Oh yeah, lets not forget that fat-ass Candy Crowley.
“Romney lost for two reasons. First, was the voter fraud, but secondly and most importantly, many on our side simply stayed home on election day.”
Romney lost because he was a terrible candidate. He did not have an coherent message to energize his base or provide a better alternative. He did not attack the opposition aggressively. He demonstrated no passion for winning. His ground game failed on election day. The computer systems did not work and he didn’t have lawyers on the ground in the areas susceptible to voter fraud to challenge irregularities. Not to mention he refused to ally with the conservative and Tea Party voters who allowed the Republicans to capture the House of Representatives in 2010. Finally, he completely flubbed the last two debates.
It is the responsibility of the candidate to have a vision and message to energize people to come out to vote for him. This candidate did not want to win.
Right here... raising my hand. I’ve voted in every presidential election since I was eligible, and that was when the voting age was lowered to 18, and in 2012, I, didn’t, vote, at, all.
I come from a dyed in the wool rat dominated family, followed by near constant brain washing by a trades union that I belonged to for 19 years. I converted after watching Rush on TV, and by riding with my boss who listened to Rush religiously.
My conversion included working to defeat Carole Mosley Braun, in 1998. She was the only sitting U S Senator to be defeated in the 98 election cycle. Illinois experienced a near unanimous purging of establishment candidates by the conservatives in said election. The IL. rinos regrouped and did everything in their power to defeat intra party rivals in the 2004 election, including Peter Fitzgerald, Jack Ryan and Alan Keyes. Their handiwork gave us Obama. Thanks rino combine.
Ray LaHood and Dennis Hastert worked openly to drive Fitzgerald away in 2004. Jack Ryan was outed by an Axelrod like technique, and Alan Keyes went down in flames. Ray LaHood was selected/rewarded by Obama, making him U S Sec. of Transportation.
The father of Obamacare, Mittens Romney, received his comeuppance in spades. FUBO. FUMR. FUGOPe. I STAYED HOME in 2012, with zero guilt.
To the GOPe- Coronate another rino and see what results you get.
