Don't blame Romney
TheHayride ^ | 11/6/12

Posted on 11/07/2012 12:40:19 AM PST by kcmom

Because what tonight’s election showed is that the American electorate has degraded very, very badly in the last decade. Exit polling indicates that this electorate was a D+6 electorate. 38 percent Democrat, 32 percent Republican. I didn’t think that was possible. I was wrong. Obama ran and won with an atrocious record, without anything remotely resembling a positive agenda for a second term, with a campaign based on lies, slander and hatred. That’s what he ran on. And that’s what he won on.

By telling a woman who was conceived by rape that her life was a blessing?

Like I said, the knives all came out for a reason. Proabortion people who backstab inconvenient prolifers to enforce the party line on permissivity of abortion. We call them Benedict Arnold.

Until we ensure that all these traitors are out of the party, this nonsense will continue.

The baby boomers did their fair share of free loving, parent hating, country hating, protesting authority, drug taking, God hating, so look at yourself and your own generation before you label the latter ones! Besides, all of the Democrat leadership, including the president, are baby boomers!

Then those who did not vote are grade a holes. You had a damaging communist against a very successful business guy who knew how the private sector runs at a time we needed that kind of person and they went down in flames.

The electorate is bought and paid for by the government party. Obama added over 17 million to food stamps alone and took away the work requirement in welfare. That right there may have sucked some votes away from Romney.

What they said was twisted by the media.

Liberals can say anything, knowing the MSM will cover for them.

Not even close to true. And i defy you to produce stats that show the white under 30 crowd votes the most solidly republican.

They were nearly double in supporting Obama against McCain. The same this time.
Over 50 is still the meat and potatoes of Repub voting.

In this election the breaking point was 44. Under 44 Obama ruled. Over 44, Romney dominated.

Sounds like 7-9 million that voted McCain last time maybe did not come out to vote at all this time. Shame on them.

There are probably 15 million votes that haven't been counted yet.

We don't have anything like a final total yet.

I did not say that.

I said that the white under 30 crowd voted more republican than any age category. They even beat out the Seniors.

Yes, that’s right. Your average white ‘worthless 18-30’ young man or woman is more likely to be a conservative than the average senior.

The GOP needs a flushing, BIG TIME!

IF by flushing, you mean you're going to recruit stellar candidates for the party to run for elective office and support and work for them and do the long and hard work to build and running winning campaigns.. Great.

If not, blah, blah, blah.

Yeah, he did get millions less, but some how the same people who voted last time for McCain came up short by 5 million making me think many of them could have gone on unemployment, welfare or food stamps and become reliant on the government party.
They may not have voted Obama, but they sure stayed home and did not vote Romney.
Keep in mind there were at least a couple of million that switched who voted for Romney, so there could have been 9 million who sat on their butts at home this time handing the win to a communist.
Those people who stayed home in the name of principle or laziness are darn near traitors to this country in a time of need IMO.

Well I blame Romney. He couldn’t even beat McCain in ‘08. He should have packed in then. I have a HS senior that is currently in the process of charting his career path, heavily leaning toward the medical field. I honestly don’t have a clue now how to advise him in making this choice. I fear all career fields will spiral towards minimum wages.

I certainly agree in the main. I was just curious and looked up and posted the Obama statistic.

We’ll know more when the full count is posted, but it’s looking like 2008 was a wave of voters more than this time.

I’m wondering if the same race thing didn’t get Obama re-elected this time but just by a lower margin.

People are going to be hurting in all careers - except government of course.

But I don’t blame Romney. He ran for the office and defeated his opponents in the primary.

I don’t really see anyone else who ran in the primary doing better.

I don’t blame Romney for entering and running to win, which he did. I wonder who could have done better and if so, who?

With Obamacare? Tell him to be an auto mechanic. He’ll make more and it won’t cost him what it costs to be in medicine.

“when they tried to not offend women”

Bingo! We have a winner here.

Romney...Mr. nice guy with his geek sidekick Ryan. Political Correctness and sensitivity ruled the day and lost the election.

You are correct about the kids born from 1990 on - I have two of them and even with ALL the educating I took on at home, society has them brainwashed regarding gay marriage and abortion.

The amount of ‘kids’ I talked to over the last 6 months that truly believed we were going to make birth control illegal, was stunning! THAT was the power of the media and the likes of dumb a** Jon Stewart/David Lettermen/et al...

As for the gay marriage, nothing I shared made a dent in the mantra of ‘that’s not fair, they have the same rights’ blah blah blah - it is heart wrenching. May God curse the filthy gays pushing this evil and everyone who goes along with it.

I understand what you mean but;
it is the same media the left uses,
we also have the EIB and The Blaze networks and still could get it done.

Many here on FR predicted Romney could not beat obummer and I was one of them.
