I wonder how many of the missing votes were ballots (mostly conservative) cast by the military but not counted in time.

It’s amazing how people will stand in line for hours for black Friday, football games, concerts, the latest iphone, etc. but could care less aboiut voting.

Goodness this is so easy. The shoppers have something they want to purchase. The GOP did not give anybody someone to vote for or at someone that shares their values and conservative beliefs. The GOP gave people a choice between liberal and liberal lite.....heck the two share very few differences. That was the easiest answer ever on FR!

I think vote destruction of Romney votes exceeded multiple or fabricated votes for 0bama. The former is easier than the latter and would also account for the MYTH of 'lower white turnout'. Voting avails itself to fraud, but in this age of hackers and clever programming, electronic voting machines are worthless. Also, who counts the votes? Was it Scytl? The vote COUNTER can change everything!

I remember what Kathy did in Wisconsin and that was sheer brilliance if indeed the withholding was intentional. If intentional, it's a sad commentary on the inclinations of the opposition, eh?

Oh yes, and that plane that crashed with military ballots on board. LOL! THAT was a good one. LOL! HAHAAAA HAAAA HAAAAAAAAAA HAA HAAAHAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAA HA HA HA.

Oh, and.. HA HAAAAA HAAAAHAAHAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAA.. Oh, sorry.. Here: Military Absentee Ballots Delivered One Day Late, Would Have Swung Election For Romney

White turnout goes OVERBOARD: "Twelve boxes of ballots were dropped overboard during delivery to the USS Kearsarge (LHD-3) in the Persian Gulf, then while the ship sailed to Bahrain, postal clerks allegedly pocketed whatever ballots they wanted."

Mitt is a Mormon, not a Christian.
Mitt is a RINO, not a conservative.
Mitt is a white guy, not a negro like obammy.
Instead of choosing Rubio which would have garnered at least a few Latin votes he chose A conservative white guy that brought squat in votes.
And I really like Ryan, would have preferred him in the top spot and maybe Mitt as county dog catcher or maybe heading up dept of bidness.

For 2016, it is critical that conservatives coalesce around a single conservative option early on. Or else the conservative gaggle will just get Romneyfied again.

Have you any idea who that might be?

I don't either...

“I don’t buy this articles take. Romney rose in the polls late in the race, the voters didn’t abandon him. Long lines were reported in Romney voting districts. The longest that most voters had ever seen. This contradicts the results of the election count. I don’t trust anything the socialist democrats have their commie hands in. NOTHING”. No one wants to confront the fraud

One more time. They aren’t missing. They did vote. Their votes just were not counted. Again, I have been voting in the same building in VA for 20 years. I have NEVER waited in line until this last election. There was a line out to the street ALL DAY. Yet they claim there were less voters than in 2008. Bullshit.

The voters who showed up on Election Day identified more closely with Obama than Romney...yeah, like those who voted for Saint FDR identified more closely with him - once upon a time voters wanted someone to look up to, someone perceived to be more competent and perceptive than the man in the street - now they want someone "like" themselves - all very bizarre.....

“I do think that a lot of it was just that the social conservatives either decided that they could not support a Mormon or that Romney did not share their values, and they just decided not to vote.”

My husband, who was raised Baptist says he remembers the most mild-mannered ministers of his youth absolutely castigating the Morman religion from the pulpit. I don’t know if that is still the case everywhere, but a few years ago our local Baptist minister went on a tirade from the pulpit against the Mormans.

My husband thinks some Baptists could not bring themselves to pull the lever. I don’t know if the internals showed that.

Hard to stand in line to be told you already voted. If we don’t get on this fraud we will never win.

About the vote-switching machines, the only report I saw was from a computer tech in Chicago, Ill. if there’s one place they wouldn’t have to deploy the strategy, it would be there. Maybe the machine was meant for Wisconsin and got to Chicago by mistake? It would be nice to know the mechanics of doing it from one of these democratic dictatorships like Russia or Venezuela. I’m sure they share techniques.

The GOP put up a technocratic venture capitalist who parks his money in the Cayman Islands and came across as holding no sincere political philosophy or convictions.

Can't blame him for putting his money out of reach of the grubby tax thieves. Can certainly fault him for having no core political values.

I agree. Romney had all of the momentum going into the election. We have just witnessed a surreptitious coup d’etat via massive election fraud in this country. And all many conservatives want to do is jump on the media’s meme that Obama simply turned out more voters and Romney was a losing candidate. It would be jaw-dropping to me... but after what I’ve witnessed since the 2008 Democrat caucuses, nothing that happens can shock me.

well, Reagan spoke of hope for all...the left and all segments of the economy, not just the middle class like Romney spoke of. He dod not isolate democrat voters and diss them either! He tried to bring them in and did!..many of them. We had the worst candidate again. We had better close all future primaries too ALL but republicans asap.

Romney got 79% of the Evangelical vote, but I still think that his pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, anti-social conservatism, anti-tea party campaign and wackiness hurt him overall, many voters are a little afraid to make a man president, who literally believes and teaches, that they are witnessing him in the process of becoming a God.

To: what's up
After tallying all absentee ballots, provisional ballots, etc. Romney actually won more votes than McCain.

Roughly the same number 59m, and 59m BUT!

2008 was an election that we couldn't win.

2012, was an election that we couldn't lose.

You guys are jumping for joy that the GOP made no gains in voters between the two elections, that they were roughly equal in persuading voters.

What a losers mentality, when we were running against Jimmy Carter and a near depression this time, versus history, Bush fatigue, war fatigue, recession, and the first black president last time.
