Conservative knew very well what was at stake in this election so these after action results are sounding very implausible. I could understand a few apathetic and protest wonks staying home .... but 7 million??? ..... give me a break.
all you had to do was look at the totals on election night to realize our side did not come out to vote in numbers...thats why all this “Romney lost because of woman and latino’s” is BS- he lost because not enough white folks voted...
i am in agreement with you about the on the ground reports though most of the one i heard were from the morning- my only guess was people got to the polls early to avoid the evening rush...then again Virginia stopped counting because so many people were still on line when the polls closed...
Whites, not conservatives. Conservatives are a decided minority of the country, and even if they all showed up, they can’t win the election.
We need to get the moderates to care, and in the end, for whatever reason, they didn’t seem to care that much.
Meanwhile, half the voting age population doesn’t bother. That’s a pool of over a hundred million people, most of whom could care less about ANYTHING we are talking about — that’s why they are unregistered.
The democrats have learned that among that large group, it’s pretty easy to find a few million who can be swayed to vote because of some really stupid, trivial cause, like “preotecting our birth control”. And if you make it easy enough for these lazy people, like coming to their house, registering them, bringing them an absentee ballot, and then taking it from them, these people WILL vote. Or if you give them some free food and a bus ride on election day, something you can afford to do if you are in an inner city with large apathetic populations.
So that’s what they do. If the media ridiculed them enough for their lies, calling on people to vote like it’s sex would hurt them with the caring part of the population, but the media protects them. If a republican tried to target a subgroup of apathetic people with a call to protect them from affirmative action (a call which would easily gets us 2 million extra white votes), the media would be non-stop recriminations, and it would be a wash.
That’s where the media comes in. It prevents Republicans from doing any sort of crass micro-targetting, while giving democrats cover. The media doesn’t even REPORT what is said in spanish language advertising, and doesn’t report what leftist radio people are saying.
Plus, it tends to be true that conservatives are already motivated, so the unregistered tend to be more liberal. There is truth to the idea that conservatives would want to suppress the vote — the smaller the electorate, the better we do, because you eliminate the idiots who would vote for someone because they’d get free pizza.
Not all were conservative but some were. I voted other races but skipped my governor race and the presidential vote. Democrat was going to win no matter what but I despised my choices. The Republican nominee for Governor helped cover up the theft of Rossi’s first gubanatorial run. Like hell I’d vote for that guy. And Romney? LOL
Just what was he going to do again if elected? Best I figure we could count on him not to take cheap shots at Israel and ease some regulations to let business breathe. A few more people get jobs but under no cicrcumstance would he do a solitary thing to limit or decrease government. He was already teasing his willingness to work with the other side, wouldn’t throw out all of Obamacare, and after Roberts why would I trust any republican to get the SC nomination right. The party, both it’s leaders and followers, elected a Mass Liberal and expect me to get in line to elect him? The country was screwed either way.
GOP-E is very ‘E’! Here’s the disconnect:
1. Don’t embrace homosexuality like Mitt did.
2. Don’t talk of “wealth”, voters don’t think they will ever be “wealthy”.
3. Don’t talk about “hard work”, voters already work hard.
4. Don’t pretend that the Republican Party has not already approved of open borders. Voters know the GOP wants open borders.
5. Condi Rice is an elite Feminist and a bad example.
6. Voters don’t want to work in a “big box” stores for a boss like Mitt. Talk about Main Street and small businesses.
7. Political correctness is not your friend. Tell the youth about “Welfare Queens” and food stamp fraud. Fraud, fraud fraud! No one wants to be cheated.
8. Stop pushing Feminists. They all have a nanny - real women don’t.
9. Young men are hungry for some truth about Feminism and the error of using emotionalism instead of logic. Talk to them straight.
10. Islam is not the religion of peace. Stop Muslim immigration and talk about the dangers.
