I agree with you that the military vote was suppressed by failures of state bureaucrats to mail out ballots on time. Several GOP congresscritters were complaining about that last week.
Yes, that's disgraceful and even criminal if it was deliberate and politically motivated on the part of the 'Rats. But as a single factor, I don't think it's enough by itself to account for the numbers we've seen.
Now here's something that's intuitively impossible to explain by anything but compromised vote recording and/or tabulation: Romney got 2 and half million fewer votes nationally than John McCain did four years ago. (Just heard that on Rush Limbaugh's show.) Now how can that be explained in view of the obvious enthusiasm displayed by the very large crowds, etc., compared to McCain? There was no comparison between the two.
Voting machines were voting Obama when Romney was selected. That was all over the place. How many votes was that?
This is a discouraging outcome. I don’t know how anyone could vote for Obama this year. There is a Milky Way size debt, continued high unemployment, a rising Arab Spring with a decidedly radiacl Islamist tilt, and a President who’s more interested in celebrity than policy. Is there anything he’s been successful at?
The fact that we almost won provides a small spring of hope. As of now, Obama’s popular vote margin is only
60,132,028 to 57,432,727, far from a mandate. The Republicans waged a national campaign while the Democrats ran a state-by-state campaign and that brought them the electoral vote. Conservatives not only held the U.S. House of Representatives, but may increase our margin. The outcome in the U.S. Senate races are entirely due to poor candidates on our side (especially Missouri and Indiana).
The American people who make their choices intelligently need to hang in there for another four years and hope that no U.S. Supreme Court justices retire.
Some things just don’t make sense this election and I’ve talked to friends who agree. Fewer Obama signs, less talk and seemingly less enthusiasm. Our people were pumped up and out there voting and then BOOM, like a zot out of the sky, Dingle-Barry wins........
