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.

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?

I saw enough people on FR to understand there were a lot of die hard Romney haters everywhere that preferred their self righteous purism about RINO Romney allowing the more obvious and most destructive alternative of the current Marxist regime staying in power.

I heard one of them on Rush yesterday, sounded just like the traitorous cretins on FR. Rush was incredulous, he even used my old tagline on the guy: that "the alternative was unthinkable".

Hey, it's academic now, but it wasn't tens of millions, but they were enough to bring Romney's totals below McCain's, which margin lost the election. Purists, Mormon haters, third party sell outs, those who wouldn't show up to get rid of a clearly more destructive, Marxist regime that wants to destroy America.

Sorry, it's the truth. You know Romney was the last candidate I wanted, I didn't like him at all. He made his mistakes, but nothing forgives those who purposefully did not show up to throw out the Marxist.
