Secret to Romney’s Defeat: Not Enough ‘Angry White Guys’?
Cnbc ^ | Wednesday, 7 Nov 2012 | 5:03 AM ET | Catherine Boyle Staff Writer

Republican senator Lindsey Graham’s remark that there weren’t enough “angry white guys” to bring Republicans to power seemed prophetic in the light of President Barack Obama’s victory.

A decline in the number of white voters and a surge in voters from ethnic minorities and women helped Obama on election night. Ohio, one of the key battleground states, was captured in part through a rise in turnout among African-Americans, who voted overwhelmingly for Obama.

The one bright spot in this loss is that African-Americans turned out for Obama. That is great, what is even better is that they are leading the unemployment figure with about 25%, and that should raise even more.

They gave us this POS and they deserve to be out of work.

BS. There is not a decline of white voters; there is a increase of existent or no existent minority voters and possibly dead votes.

As white males die off and become a minority in America, China and Russia are licking their chops. No invasion, no military action will be required, America will continue on this path to become feckless, and not a threat. A lack of power will mean a lack of economic competitiveness. The standard of living in this country is going to decline to the point where people will look back to 2012 as the “good old days”.

You minorities are going to miss us angry white men when we’re gone.

Exit polling on who do you think cares about you

Obama won by like 80% or so

Mitt was defined as a rich 1%

There were also not enough Christians that voted for him either. I guess the CINOS really DO believe in abortion and same sex marriage.

Not enough male voters period.

Women have been voting around 10 million more than men for decades now.

When are men going to step up?

Not enough honest voting machines, at least in part. People in many states reported the machines changing Romney to Obama when they tried to vote.

If it becomes a problem for the kenyan, I suspect the government will ostentatiously hire a significant fraction of unemployed blacks. It may not become a problem.Accelerated redistribution of wealth may take care of the problem.

As if many of them WANT to work. Not if they get handouts for doing nothing.

How can the Government hire more black. have you ever been to Washington. Affirmative action rules there. we already have two workers for every one we actually need. Most of them black. Go to Prince Georges County Maryland and look at the people there. all on the Government payroll.

Hire More?? Christ, they have more now than they can use.

Racist?

And stupid, too? Unemployment among blacks is trending up.

Not enough whites and not enough Christians. So how did this happen? Did tens of millions of non-whites and non-Christians fall from the sky? No. WE LET THEM IN. We allowed massive third world immigration, legal and illegal. We allowed children of illegals to be citizens. The Republican Party did nothing but pander to immigrants, pushing amnesty. Now that they’ve lost again, will they finally advocate for an immigration moratorium and getting rid of illegals? No. They’ll say, “Oh, guess we weren’t nice enough to the new Americans! Maybe if we come out for amnesty and increased immigration next time, we’ll win!”

They don’t call ‘em the Stupid Party for nothing.

Just put them on the civil service payroll. they don’t have to be in Washington. the Size and scope of the central government will now grow prodigiously. There will be a federal office in every neighborhood. They will all need employees.

When the "men" stop paying more attention to ball games then they do to what's happening in the country

Spot on and this is largely what I’ve been saying as well for a long time, and just as I suspected Open Borders RINO radio talker Michael Medved advocated more or less doing the same thing. He and his ilk of the RINO crowd make me throw up.
