Mitt Romney has fewer votes than John McCain received in 2008! Republicans stayed home!
As of right now, Romney has close to 56,000,000 votes nationwide. In 2008, John McCain had nearly 60,000,000 votes. (Per Wikipedia)
It looks like if all the people who voted for McCain turned out again and voted for Romney, we would have been rid of the Kenyan once and for all.
People stayed home.
It looks like all the Freepers who said they'd never vote for Mitt were not making idle threats
Welcome back to Obamaland
The only way to get Rino out is for conservatives to run for committee chairmen and win. It only costs about $10 to register in the primary.
Only the elected people can vote on GOP leadership positions. Committee chairs will also have a big influence in their Ward on the vote for conservative candidates in the national and state primaries.
Without building a grass roots base, conservatives are at a big disadvantage. The GOPe is also going to go out of its way to try to get the Latino voters, and they really treat conservatives like the Dems treat the Black population.
Well I certainly wouldn’t put massive fraud past the Dems, but we need solid evidence or at least a trail.
The exit polling backs up the vote totals so that’s a dead end.
So we would need to identify specific areas that have large anomalies in numbers, like assumed Romney precincts that magically went big for Obama, or Obama counties that are at 110 percent of voters. Things like that.
Without that it’s just loser talk frankly. I think the totals show (when completed) that Romney pulled all the votes a Republican is gonna get, and Dems came out less than 2008 to vote for Obama, but in enough numbers to squeak out a win in the necessary swing states.
Even when we are fired up and in full force there aren’t enough of us anymore compared to the various growing minority populations and traditional Dem diehards like women gays and unions.
Bullshit! Obama won but not honestly. Romney certainly was better than McCain.
The Republican party is over. We need a new party with a new platform. That’s what freepers should work on now.
That's not correct. Since Obama appeared on the scene, twice as many voters have identified themselves as "conservative" in polls as have said they were "liberal." Additionally, party ID has changed from a 12-point Democrat advantage in 2008 to a 3-point Republican advantage (Gallup) in 2012. And every reputable poll indicated a huge enthusiasm advantage for Republicans this year. So we're supposed to believe that given a proportionally larger pool of Republicans to draw from, combined with a 2:1 advantage in philosophical leaning and a massive advantage in enthusiasm (not to mention universal anecdotal reports of actual massive turnout) that we did no better than we did in 2008? That doesn't make any sense at all.

I don’t know if you were watching but I was. At about midnight Fla. and Va. were looking good for the GOP. Fla was down by something like 20,000 votes but the panhandle wasn’t in yet. The GOP had Va by something like 100,000 votes with most of the vote in and Zero wasn’t catching up. North Carolina had clearly gone GOP by 3% or so with 97% of the vote in but they wouldn’t call it for the GOP. I kept asking myself why not when all of a sudden they give Ohio to Dear Leader when the GOP has been coming from 10% behind at 30% of the vote in to LESS THAN 1,000 votes to go and not quite 75% of the vote in??? Really? Then our guy gives the speech he was carefully selected for. Having done the job he came to do he now returns to obscurity. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? If this isn’t what a stolen election looks like I don’t know what is. Lines all over the states that were critical? For THE FIRST TIME EVER. Of course Hugo doesn’t have to give a crap but Zero had to make this “appear fair”. So they had to slow down the voting here and there so at midnight they could “take care of business”. And they did.
“Real simple.
Nominate a conservative from a solid red state.
Nominate a conservative who’s prolife
Nominate a conservative who supports traditional marriage.
It’s just that simple.”
No it isn’t. Gay marriage has been a loser for the Dems but they keep at it. This time they got 3 states to join their cause. Drip drip drip. One day it will be the norm and to oppose it makes you a fringe freak.
Your perfect conservative candidate who doesn’t exist anyway is becoming a relic. He or she ain’t pulling 65+ million votes to beat the Dem.
Massive. Vote. Fraud. They saw in 2010 when we handed them their asses that 2012 would be a blowout if there was an honest election. If it is not dug out and stomped the House will be next in '14.
Voters were Dem +6 yesterday. Just like the supposed “skewed” polls said. there was no GOP advantage this year that was a myth I bought into also.
Exactly! And with the Ministry of Prop...Truth to decide what we “need to know” and Joseff Holder at his back Dear Leader need not be concerned that the public EVER have to deal with what has happened. Nixon “stood down” for JFK for “the good of the country, that Americans not have to realize the compromise of integrity of their vote”. The one we sent did likewise it seems but he should not have. This result should be challenged IMMEDIATELY! Before the sun rises. Of course the GOP would never do that. That would just be so unseemly. Just not Marquis of Queensbury and all, you know? The GOP is just so good at losing...
And that platform is elegantly simple: smaller government. Easy to explain, not racist, and immediately understandable to voters.
Come on. Massive voter fraud would be easily caught. Romney’s team knows what their numbers were internally. If Obama had some huge gains in places or other anomalies they knew they were going to win, and that was a pattern, they would not have conceded. Unless part of your theory is Romney was in on it too. Then I guess it doesn’t matter anyway because he wasn’t the guy we voted for.
We just don’t have the votes. Sucks and believe me I hoped for better. but now we know.
Philly has voted 107% Dem for decades. Check it yourself. Then come back and we can talk about why the GOP has let that occur time after time. Still believe what the Ministry of Truth has to say?
People understand small government. That was probably the biggest debate in this election. The choice was clear. Our fellow citizens by a larger number voted to keep big government. Sandy helped reinforce that the wonderful prez flying around waving FEMA money
ping 4 later
This election cycle, I did 10% of the business I did in 2010.
