I agree with Romney about the numbers and have been saying it all along. Sadly, Obama is going to win because those that are on the Govt dole, ALL VOTE. There are over 46 million people getting food stamps and this Government is running ads to get more people; something in the order of $3 million ad campaign to promote the Food Stamps program.
There are 24% of the population that is not eligible to vote by age, 13% that are non-US that can’t vote (unless they live in Chicago) and the 2008 voter turnout was 57% percent. This adds up to more people in the Obama camp, and too many Americans that just don’t care what happens.
This isn’t a “doom and gloom” post, its simple math.... we are going to lose on Nov. 6th unless there’s some huge October surprise.
You said: “those that are on the Govt dole, ALL VOTE”....
NO THEY DO NOT!!! Some are truly needy people who are geographically stable. But, many of them move every 3 months or are staying with family or friends. Some are getting disability because of past drug use and they are diagnosed as “bi-polar”. They have very unstable lifestyles and are not even registered to vote. Same goes for many of the Welfare crowd who are just sorry and lazy and have no interest in voting or any other civic duty. All they care about is having enough money for their “40 ouncer” and their marijuana and someone to raise bail money to get them out of jail every 2 or 3 months.
If everyone on the Govt. Dole voted, there would never be another President other than a Liberal Democrat.
