Of course, all of this would be happening if Romney won. Or, we would be even more screwed than with Obama. Right? That is what some were proclaiming. I have argued with one FReeper, who shall remain nameless, who amazingly stated that she does not regret sitting out. OK. Here is what we get.
I am equally disgusted with the GOP-e. But allowing Obama to retain the White House and Dept of Justice, is outrageous. Romney was near last on my list, but it was Romney, Obama, stay home, or 3rd party. Only one of those choices would be mitigating the current disaster. And the disaster will keep getting worse.
I figure our chances are 50/50 that we’ll even have an election next year.
And on that we both agree.
Doug, I have been wondering about something. Many people believe the Presidential election was full of fraud. I think Free Republic is an excellent “universe” of conservatives (stay with me now). I have been lurking for at least ten years and read many threads thoroughly. No one in my memory admits to “saying home.”
I know there are many freepers who are computer experts. Is it possible that in strategic areas votes were deleted? Please believe me, I am not wearing a tin foil babushka. There was at least one IT person who told me it was possible. Especially since I cannot find out of four million one person who stayed home.
We wouldn't be getting this, I agree. But we'd be getting a heavy dose of "reaching across the aisle" to let the democrats set the agenda and plenty of good 'ol GOPe brand liberalism-lite. I voted for Romney so I'd have to grit my teeth and bear it but let's not pretend he would have been a great president with a conservative agenda. His sole selling point was "he probably won't be as bad as Obama (said with fingers crossed)".
