So I'm sitting here today licking my wounds and wondering how in the hell I could be so wrong in my predictions for this election and suddenly it came to me.
Just don't show up....Read on below
Perhaps all those on here who constantly bases Romney because he wasn’t pure enough decided to stay home. Never let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Romney was by no means perfect, but look at the alternative.
*bashed
poor typing.
It would take very few votes “lost” or found to switch some of those states. Like Ohio and Florida, for instance
I never fought the tea party.
I asked where is the tea partys fight?
After 2010 they just kinda evaporated from view.
Like they had accomplished something and no longer had the belly to be called racists.
Where are the Tea Party rally’s on this very day? *Crickets*
Yeh, poor typing or any reason to focuss on ourselves. We were beat by Fraud! That is what needs investigation.
I can see it but, that’s a lot of people doing a coordinated act across a large geography.
Programming for the electronic machines/
in some places they probably had SEIU and ACORN counting the votes.
Could the difference be the Paulbots?

I think you have hit on something. Here’s why...the Paul supporters I know tend to be more Libertarian than Conservative socially. They are fiscally conservative, but socially moderate to liberal on the main issues.
A lot of them (and even some non Paul supporters) were APPALLED by how Ron Paul, a Republican, was treated at the RNC and by Romney. The delegate issue and the insistence that if he spoke, his speech would have to be vetted, turned many of them off and pushed them to Gary Johnson rather than Mitt Romney.
I do know a few Paulbots who voted for Romney, but I also know a few (none in swing states IIRC) who stayed home. None I know supported Virgil Goode and most said (I don’t know if they followed through) they would vote for Gary Johnson because not only was he closer to thier views, but the GOP left a bad taste in their mouths because of how they treated Paul.
Servicing the machine is more like it. Starting the machines with a number of obama and DNC votes already on the tally before nayone has voted on the machine is a favorite sca, that fits ACORN and SEIU criminality profiles.
You forgot Karl Rove too.
Not real complicated, is it?
The Name is the rat machine.It is a fact the DOW dropped and also some bet on that. We are being played.
“Let the other party program the voting machines and run them”
Yes there was democrat voter fraud. Also This freeper txrefugee had a post that I think we all should read and spread around:
“On CNN today, they revealed that Axelrod & Co. had the 2010 Census sheets from the heavy-minority counties in the swing states. They supposedly knew every house where their voters lived and followed up with absentee ballots etc.(No one has moved in the last two years? Hard to believe.)
Now, if this isn’t a recipe for stealing an election, I don’t know what is. They could request the ballots, have someone collect them at drop boxes, fill them out and submit them. No wonder the turnout of Blacks, Mexicans, and students actually went up over ‘08, though the enthusiasm was obviously missing. That doesn’t make sense unless someone was doing something shady.

No one is perfect.
I thought he did damn well and juxtaposed himself well to a “My way or the highway” egomaniac.
I think but for all of the puritans Romney could have been a GREAT President.
Lord Knows we have a petulant ***hole in office now, for another long 4 years, and that petulant ahole is about to go scorched earth on us.
We will never recover from the SCOTUS picks he makes in our lifetimes.
Romney would have pissed off both sides, but he would have listened an loved the idea of America.
I think Rove was reasonable.
His analysis was decent.
Yea, I don’t think so.
Paulbots and Johnsonite idiots only comprised about .5% of the vote total anywhere.
That just isn’t enough evidence to make prosecuting that argument viable.
Not if you look at Florida tallies or Ohio.
The bottom line: We Didn’t Show up. We flunked. Just damn and somehow we flunked.
It’s not anymore complicated than that.
It’s not going to be investigated.
Romney conceded.
It’s the candidate, stupid.
There wasn’t a single moment in the last four years where this administration acted as as if there was even a remote possibility it might lose power. Once they got in, there was no chance of getting them out. This isn’t a political party we’re talking about. It’s a demonic criminal empire.
God help us all.
I think you’re right.
I’d have voted for anybody over Obama, but some very principled conservatives couldn’t bring themselves to vote for an “electable” moderate with a decidedly liberal background.
Then “anybody but Obama” crowd would vote for a conservative, and a conservative willing to get a little fired up about attacking Obama would have picked off at least as many undecided voters as Mitt did, without having the hard core base stay at home. I frankly don’t think the Mormon thing helped with evangelicals, either.
Maybe the demographics are truly against us, but if that’s the case, we can’t just change our spots and go left. It’s time to give a charismatic conservative a shot, it can’t be worse than this was. Unfortunately, I don’t think the GOP can bring itself to do it. Look at the GOP Speaker of the House....today he’s talking about higher taxes.
