ROMNEY DID HIS PART.
It appears voters FAILED to do theirs. Clearly the country is somewhere else from where conservative mythology would have you believe.
For years I've said if he were John McCain or John F Kerry, reelection would not be in the cards but Obama's "historical nature" was a grand wildcard.
I heard someone say at work if we can suffer eight years of Bush we can suffer eight of Obama. Of course that's entirely naive and deeply moronic but the people who live and breathe politics and news analysis don't have votes that count more than those who don't.
There are rumors my employer will follow Darden Restaurants (Red Lobter's owen) and cap all hours at 29 per week in response to ObamaCare starting in January. People who count on working "as needed" by the operation to survive and already struggle will find themselves drowning.
It ain't over yet, the fat lady hasn't sung, and beyond the media illusion, the reality is that Democrats have to cheat to win, and have for many decades. This is what happens when a minority illegitimately gains power over a bamboozled majority. If an honest vote count was tallied for the past 20 years, the entire hold of liberal power in this nation would be more to the right.
The "conservative mythology" may well be accurate -- we don't know, as "the country" only had two liberals to chose from. I feared Romney would get it in a landslide, and I know that the idea that the majority of Americans are freeloading flakes is probably way off the mark, but as the only mirror we have to hold up to ourselves is created by the media, we believe stupid voters are the majority when the fact is they're a minority that CHEATS. Obama is not responsible for being the destructive force he is -- Republicans are for playing defense so long that it's in their DNA. They play on the liberals' terms, and Romney is the most poignant illustration in our lifetime.
