There's lots of blame we can give. Romney made his share of mistakes, but to say we didn't have a whole bunch of purists who voted third party or stayed home, enough to reelect a far worse and more destructive alternative than RINO Mitt is simply a lie. The idiot on Rush today was typical of this bunch, heck, Rush even used my old tagline on him, the alternative was unthinkable and you still couldn't vote for someone who wasn't perfect?

Shame on all of them, unfortunately we will all pay dearly for that treasonous act.

And even though most of them are preening about their self righteous purity today, so will they.........

I have serious doubts we will survive and I blame every single one of those traitorous bastards who allowed this Marxist another four years to finish off this country.

EVERY election is between the lesser of two evils. Some are too self-important to figure it out.

Lake, that's not what I said, and I don't believe that's what happened.

You paint a portrait of tens of millions of people who intentionally turned their backs on their countrymen out of some sense of holier-than-thou purity, even while knowing that doing so would likely result in the re-election of the worst president in history.

I honestly do not believe that to be the case.

While it's true that tens of millions of Republicans didn't vote for Mitt, I think the reason lies in the fact that he didn't inspire them to do so. Remember that not everyone who votes Republican is as well informed and consequently as alarmed as you and I about the state of our nation.

I talked to two good friends just before the election, and in passing said, "Did you vote yet?" Both of them indicated to me that they hadn't even registered, and had little interest in the election. I was dumbfounded, but I realized that these people who would have voted Republican, simply were not inspired enough to make the effort.

From what I've read in recent days, this was also the case for many on the Democrat side. Millions of Americans were simply too disillusioned or uninspired to bother.

Whose fault is that? Theirs, or the candidates?
