It's all because Republicans stayed home from the stores
(VERY pissed off at other threads (and FreepeRs) that say the election is all because Republicans stayed home)
you didn’t stay home did you?

You cannot say that voters staying home wasn’t part of the issue. Sorry but the number’s don’t lie.
Thank WTO, Free Trade and Illegal Immigration (lack of enforcement under Bush 41 thru GWB). Corporate America made their short term record profits, problem is how do you rapidly recover after hurting youself with overleveraging, investing in AAA investments that were actually junk, etc etc etc. In the past we had a cushion, but now thanks to corporate America China has closed the tech gap (courtesy of American corporate tech transfers) with cheap labor. As the economy slowsdown, corporate America will try to extend prosperity by off shoring jobs till it no longer prevents the downturn. Add Obama taxes and regs the economical structured hole is even deeper.

Simple arithmetic. The guy who gets the most votes wins.... and the other guy loses. So yes, those that didn’t bother to vote for “love of country” gave it to Obama.
Now, each have their own reason for not bothering to vote in this most critical of elections, fair enough.
If you are one of the ones that stayed home, don’t be “pissed”, be proud.... because you got exactly want you wanted and you’re going to get what you deserve.
Now, if you ran out of gas on your way to the polls, that’s something else, but I think folks should do their best to work off of the top of the gas tank, not the bottom.
