Wgat a tragedy this was. How could so many people be so stupid? Obama has been a disaster. There was nothing on offer from him, and no record to run on.
I can’t help but feel if Sandy hadn’t occured, and Romney had gone after Obama far more in the last debate it would have been different.
Other thoughts.......
Assuming no cheating went on (who knows), the Rats had a far superior GOTV campaign. We know the turnout model should have looked far different.
It would be interesting to see where both sides spent these two billion dollars. Was too much wasted by RR in states not in play?
How could so many pundits get it so wrong?
How on earth can the worlds most powerful nation have such a poor voter verification system in so many places, completely inept in comparison to even some fairly murky European/S. American countries?
And please please please can we have a ban on reporting voting trends on election day.
Hell, shut off FR during voting hours and encourage people to just get out their vote, and get their neighbours and friends out at the same time.......the reports of massive record turnout in R areas gave great hope, but in reality again assuming minimal voter fraud, it was a nonsense. Most of us here expected a RR win, so the strength of O’s performance was a great source of shock and dissapointment. At least in 08 we knew the score long before.
Well, I suppose all one can do is lovingly preserve and treasure our own memories and histories, any sort of record or relic of the orginal America, Constitution, etc.. Stash it where no one can find it ...because someday, we may be able to drag all of that out and demonstrate it again ....to the fallen masses and destitute peoples — that THIS is once how America was ...this is what it once stood for — and that THIS is what we CAN return to again ....if we finally LEARN what it takes to keep it. It’s probably going to require that we watch the country hit absolutely rock bottom before anyone truly gets it, or is ready to absorb that information — but it could once again, make a great comeback.
Doubtful ...but, we CAN still preserve those memories and records. No reason to stop trying to educate anyone you can.
And in the meantime, we can sit back and let go — let Obama take FULL responsibility for what is about to occur. FULL, 100% blame. It’s going to be rough beyond rough, but we, the “other half” will get through it. We’re heading into the dark age of America.
Perhaps many us, as well, did not do all WE could to keep it.
