I can't give up even though many things look insurmountable. Just the thought that so many of our side sat at home last time gives me hope that they will come to their senses this time.2014 my be very telling. We shall see.
I hear that stay home myth coming from a lot of people including Rush. The fact is that Romney received a million votes more in 2012 than McCain did in 2008. Romney also did better in almost all of the swing states than did McCain or candidates like Akin and Mourdock. He also did much better among non-Hispanic white voters including those 18-29.
Romney received 60,932,176 votes compared to McCain's 59,950,323. It was Obama's voters that stayed home as he received about 4 million less votes in 2012 than in 2008, i.e. 65 million in 2012 versus 69 million in 2008.
I hope 2014 turns out well, but Obama's organization is strong and well-funded. They will pull out all the stops, including fraud, to take over the House. Obama knows that once he has the House, he can truly transform America.
Our only hope is that as the pain of the implementation Obamacare begins to hit the voters, they will move away from Obama. But then the Stupid Party may help Obama by mitigating the pain by agreeing to changes in Obamacare. They will mend it, not end it. The tax on medical equipment will be one of the first to go.
