The answer to that question is as obvious as the nose on your face. You saw a lot of it right here on FR during the primaries and the run-up to the election. The difference in number of voters for McCain and Romney are those who either stayed home or didn't vote the top of the ticket, only down-ticket candidates. You saw it expressed many times on FR. It was the "Romney-is-as-bad-as-(or worse than)-than Obama" meme. There were many people who said, don't vote for Romney, vote for down-ticket candidates. As you correctly note, that resulted in fewer votes for Romney than McCain, whereas if we had simply matched McCain's vote, we would have won. Those non-voters for Romney DID make a difference - they gave us another four years of Obama, and probably the destruction of the Republic.
Unpleasant as it is to face, I am speaking the truth, although I realize than doing so in this context on FR runs me the risk of being zotted or banned. At this point, I don't care. I'm about done with it all after this election. Only disgust and a sense of loss (of the Republic bequeathed to us by the Founders) remains.
I haven’t lost heart. We. Are. At. War.
A better plan is go into survival mode, quit work, so you owe no taxes. Starve the beast to death. No tax revenue equals a humble government willing to heed the voice of the working man. I am ready to quit or secede, either is fine with me. I'm done with it.
Well it seems that everyone is looking for someone to blame. Its Bush, no it’s Rove, no it’s Sarah Palin , etc, etc , etc.
May I turn your attention to the MSM? They are the reason, period. Without the MSM having a lip-lock on Obama’s flip-plop he would have been removed at least 2 years ago. I hope every news outlet or network that has spun for, covered for, or lied for Obama loses viewership until they go the hell out of business. Democrats are godless liberal socialist communists, but the main stream media is worse. They are all the above, plus they are all whoring little lizards that crawl on their bellys.
