Remember too how this guy rose meteorically to get the nomination. The RATs already had Hillary, but they threw her aside for this unknown, unproven, junior senator whose past was largely questionable or cloaked in secrecy. Why? The only explanation I’ve been able to come up with is (wait for it...) - racism.
Some on “our” side even rooted for the newcomer, figuring nothing could be as bad as a return of the Clintons to the WH.
You may be right in that “we” were blind to who and what he really is, but that comes back to leadership. “We” nominated John McCain, remember....”Mr Reach-across-the-Aisle”, a white, privileged elitist. And then enough of “us” must have liked what Obama was doing well enough we didn’t show up to vote for Romney, which could have put an end to at least some of this.
First, "we" did not nominate either John McCain or Romney, the RNC shoved them down our throats, just as they plan to cram Jeb Bush down our throats in 2016.
Zero's "metoric" rise was the result of a complicit media who provided cover for him and took every opportunity to skewer and destroy each and every qualified Republican candidate that would have given zero a run for his money. And, don't forgt the "journolists" who conspired with $oro$ to ensure that zero won.
And, finally, in last year's re-election of zero, even more massive fraud was involved to offset the massive fraud that got him elected in '08.
And, with the lessons of 2008 and 2012 behind him, zero is probably planning to stuff the ballot to the extent that the Politburo (aka Congress) will be majority leftist in addition to the WH (probably HitLIARy).
And, still, we will lack the passion for freedom and liberty to be embroiled in a conflict that will free us of these commies.
