Those who stayed home did so because the Republicans didn’t give them a good enough reason to leave the house.
I agree with you both. Not voting or voting for an Independent candidate (not Romney and not Obama) was pushed aggressively here on FR by a good number of folks. As I recall, the sentiment was, "We need to teach the establishment GOP a lesson."
Conservatives succeeded as they apparently did stay home to protest Romney as our RINO candidate. Does anyone think the "Establishment GOP" learned a lesson? We cut off our nose to spite our face.
I do not believe there is any way back now. >50% of the population is now dependent on handouts or has government jobs or relies on the fed for their own personal wealth in some fashion. We will not ever see an electorate vote for a president where Santa Claus is going to pull back on the gifts.
It is impossible to root out corruption without a revolution, peaceful or otherwise. And I don't see the numbers for a revolution. Best future, 50 years out, is secession from the union by several states.
The republicans are sitting on Benghazi relatively speaking. They may get to it. It would be good if so as it is a vital issue that we’ll not get through regardless of who covers it up
But the huge issue is under way as we blissfully view the squirming around the scandals
And it is not just the dem s.
Presently they are all working on getting an unknown lied about no of illegals into our system. Regardless of voting they have no respect for our laws they have no regard for us at all. Texas will be in lovable and changing all the time it will not be the us
So what difference would Romney haveade
Bah
Perhaps the Republicans didn't give them a good enough reason but the Democrats damn well did. Four more years of Obama’s agenda for America should be reason enough for any thinking Conservative.
The spectacle of four more years of Obama's agenda for America got me out of the house to vote Republican. Don't you now wish more Conservatives had left the house to vote Republican?
A Conservative voting Republican doesn't make them a Republican.
I don’t know. I left the house, went to the polling place, voted in the congressional, state and local races, and left a blank space at the top of the ticket. It’s not that I had no incentive to vote; I was strongly motivated not to vote GOP in the presidential election.
“Those who stayed home did so because the Republicans didn’t give them a good enough reason to leave the house.”
Oh, Obama wasn’t a good enough reason to get off their derrieres and vote? Sheeesh.
