Remember the way we felt on 9/11? That just how I feel now. America as a nation is no more.

I will punch in the nose the next person that tells me Independents do not like a negative campaign.

Thats all Obama brought.

The simple reason he lost was because less Republicans (and perhaps Independents) voted in 2012 than in 2008.

Hard to understand why, Romney ran a much better campaign than McCain?

yhe lost because republicans didn’t show up to vote. All of those things may have affected the percentagevote of those who showed up, but if McCain voters show up, we win. WTF were they?

1. Paul Ryan. - BS. The loss was entirely Romney’s fault.
Romney thought he was ENTITLED and could sit back.

2. The Ryan Plan. - BS

3. The Myth of a “Base Election.” - BS
Romney thought he was ENTITLED and could sit back
and not continuously stoke the conservative base.

We can blame our situation on the Establishment, on the nominee, on the storm, on several things...but the MAIN reason we are in this mess is because of all of our choices.

“Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.” ... Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Until we come to the place of GREAT repentance on the part of the majority of this nation, we will see an increasingly worse scenario. The CHANGE that is really needed is SPIRITUAL. History teaches this. The Sacred Scriptures teach this. Why do we have to learn this the hard way?

Our culture.

They want free stuff.

We can’t outspend them.

- a dumbed-down, union-educated, Hollywood loving population
- more people taking rather than producing
- a corrupt media carrying the liberal message
- years of socialist teachers, colleges, universities has finally come to fruition
- a strong faith in God is dimishing in the population, leaving them like sails in the wind, falling for anything.

He lost because he didn’t get enuff votes.

Thats pretty basic.

He got less votes than John McCain.

Why that happened has to do with stupid conservatives too proud to vote for him and a greater than expected turnout by zero voters...ie: there was no enthusiasm gap.

Time to be done with the agonizing and go to underground warfare.
Fight every directive and give a hearty phuk yew to any demand on your person wallet or activity.

SKRU these leftist azholes.

Sorry but this all boils down to demographics. The national Dems have been building a national majority coalition for years and I think it reached a tipping point when you have a D+6 majority showing up to vote this election.Four years from now the demographic picture will be even worse after a comprehensive immigration reform bill is passed to expand their majorities. The Republicans will press further leftward to pander to these constituent groups until the only 2 choices for a voter will be left and lefter.

Romney lost because he was chosen to lose. The democrats knew exactly who they wanted to run against and systematically eliminated each candidate. They had Romneys number for 4 years.

A sitting President went before the nation in one of the most watched debates ever, scratched his butt, acted like a petulant child and had the moderators hold his hand and tell him it was ok.

And no one cared. at that point it was over.

You can say it was abortion, gay marriage, or pick any social issue. Americans are too stupid and spoiled to understand what’s important to them. The Democrats made this about social issues and Romney because it is simple for the simpleminded to comprehend.

Romney told us what was wrong wth this country and gave us a plan on how he was going to fix it. Problem was no one could understand what he was saying.

Telling the truth is very complicated. Lying is easy.

Why?

The moochers now outnumber us.

And that’s not going to get any better.

8 points of utter garbage and nonsense.

If this is the great thinking on our side it’s no wonder we lost last night.

Romney lost because he's a liberal. He tried to masquerade as a "severe" conservative, but nobody bought the act. In other words, he was blatantly inauthentic.

Mitt Romney lost becaue he was a milk sop. He had multiple handles he copuld have pulled which would have revealed a traduced treasonous presidency to the public. Yet he pulled none of them. To bad.

Now the Republic is a risk. Gentlemen finish last, and the strategy of moderation to attract independents was a losing strategy again, something that John McCain also showed us all. Sarah Palin would have won this election, but the GOP would not embrace her, because she acted in the past to clean up the corruption of the Republican party in Alaska.

Too bad GOP. You lose, and perhaps the GOP is now dead. If not dead, it should be.

Romney lost because he was a GOP liberal running against a Dim liberal.

Given that choice the American electorate will chose the Dim liberal every time.

The so called “conservative” party needs to run conservatives if it expects to win elections in the future.

When did the street theater OccupyWallStreet go on stage? The haughty stupid GOP-e deceived themselves they would buy this election. Problem is they could not defend wealth creation because of the already toxic environment created by the left with their 1% evil rich.

Romney then gets exposed as privately besmirching 47% of Americans... Romney was a horrible moderate candidate.

Good points, but none correct. Mitt lost because there are now more of them (socialists/takers) than there are of us (capitalist/makers). It is simple, also the definition of a socialist country...which is what we woke up to this morning.

I've read a lot of day after threads, seen a lot of punditry on the ture.

No one has mentioned the referendum on Socialized Medicine.

"I will repeal Obama Care on day one."

The Obammunist is re-elected.
