There were 6M white voters who left Obama, most of whom did not not go to Romney. I want to know who you think these voters are and why they sat it out.

I don't know who they are. They could be young males, or Catholics, or union people or soccer moms... or some mixture of all. However, the evangelicals are not the ones who sat it out. I agree with you on that point.

You asked for numbers and sources, and I provided them. Who do you think these missing voters are?

The question is, why didn’t they vote for who? in 2012?

There were 6M white voters who voted for Obama in 2008, but abandoned him in 2012. The overall white vote was some 5M less in 2012 (92M) compared to 2008 (97M). So there was white flight FROM Obama, but not so much TO Romney.

What voter profile - ie, Catholics, soccer moms, working moms. etc. - do you think the 6M white voters who left Obama mostly come from?

It is a nightmare because he will move further left.

Pretty much what the non RomneyBotts said would happen.

My age will solve the problem for me, but we all have or should have children that deserve better.

How does that square with his record support from evangelicals?

Fear.

[Article] Obama ran as an authentic liberal....

No, he didn't. He's a Communist and an Islamist, something East African politics seems to produce (like Raila Odinga, Obama's kinsman).

Exactly! Evangelicals DID vote in droves. Their votes jut got “lost” somewhere between the pencil and the computer.

Eh, wot? So Romney got a record number of evangelical votes - in a turnout Ralph Reed described as astonishing* - but their votes got lost? Nah.

*“Evangelicals turned out in record numbers and voted as heavily for Mitt Romney yesterday as they did for George W. Bush in 2004,” said Ralph Reed, chairman of TK-based Faith and Freedom Coalition. “That is an astonishing outcome that few would have predicted even a few months ago.

"During the primaries, each candidate was called not quite conservative enough for the purists to support.

Meanwhile, the left is totally organized. Our side? Busy with the circular firing squad.
"

Yup. Point totally lost on you. You are wrong when you say there were no candidates conservative enough. There were several candidates the "purists" would've supported but your liberal...er.... moderate RNC took to backing "leftist" candidates and compromising conservative values. We "Purists" have been, and are, tired of the rino Marxist globalists in the RNC shoving their flip-flopping, lying, unethical, compromising losers down our throats.

You say the left is 'organized?' Amen. What are they 'organized' around? DEBAUCHERY, CORRUPTION, DECADENCE. And they NEVER compromise. Only the spineless cowards known as RINOs compromise.

Point is this nation has been destroyed and not by obama. It has been destroyed by the sick and sinful hearts of a self-centered, narcissistic, ignorant populace. Obama is just a manifestation of what is on the hearts of those unwilling to be a "purist" and to stand up for what is right.

And please. Riding around on your high-horse thinking a large number of us "conservatives" did not vote for romney is pure fallacy. Since Bush Sr. we "Conservatives" have had to hold our noses and cast our votes for the "lesser of two evils". More and more of us are getting tired of watching so-called moderates ignore the traditional Republican platform of God first, smaller government, life, fewer taxes, a strong defense, legal immigration and the quest for excellence and personal responsibility. I personally can't blame those of us that are truly on the right for staying home if that is what they chose to do. The only reason I didn't is because we had Ted Cruz on the ballot and I believe he needed my support.

I am a Christian. My brethren and I are in this world but we are not of this world. We know that no matter what you non-believers do to yourselves those of us in Christ will escape. We don't have to sell out God and His principles in some feeble attempt to try to win friends and influence people. We don't have to accept candidates that are more debased than we are in some attempt to make ourselves feel good or to justify our own inadequacies.

There are two scriptures you may wish to purchase a bible to look up. One says, "My children are destroyed for a lack of knowledge" and the second says, "If any man thinks he knows anything he knows nothing as he ought."

I understand that you think you have it all figured out but...

I still don’t know what you are trying to get at, I have asked you, but you refuse to clarify what you are trying to say.
