“These high levels of minority and young voter participation are here to stay”...Yes, for the Left. America is over.
Do Over!
My question is why did I even bother to vote? It was over before any votes in Wa state got counted.
Everyone seems to be blaming the black & Latino vote.
That’s just part of it.
The dems were successful in scaring women away from Romney -that was a big factor.
Higher turnout from the plantation population. Lower turnout overall. Plantation Party wins.
“I got me a Obamaphone! He gonna pay my electik bill!” The country teeters close to the point where >50% of the voters vote for a living, outnumbering those who actually work for a living. When that threshold is crossed (and it might have happened last night) there is no going back; no one in the future can win who promises to give away fewer freebies and gimmes than the other guy promises.
This will continue until The Collapse stops it dead in its tracks. The Collapse is coming, and optimistically, might occur on Obama’s watch. What things will look like after The Collapse is anyone’s guess. Maybe it will look like lower Manhattan looks right now - people left to fend for themselves, with none of the promised gimmes they were not only expecting, they were utterly depending upon.
This is a very sad day for this great Nation. May God help us.
The turnout seems very strange to me.
We’re at +5 Republican party ID, and no one goes out to vote?
Really? Have we become Venezuela?
Obama won because he took 5.1 million more votes in the under 30 demographic.
That’s obviously where we need to focus. The good news that in 2016 they will be 4 years older, paying taxes (if they can find jobs) and see what their health coverage looks like. People tend to become more conservative as they get older.
Hah, I just went to see if “Dick” lived up to his name a few seconds before clicking back on FR...
I was with him all the way. I prediced 300EV for Romney. I’ll have mine over easy please....
What we all missed, I think, is how far down the slipper slope we have already come. The white traditionalist American culture we grew up with is a minority now.
Often I figure my analysis of political events is as good as Rush’s. But today I would be sitting in front of an open microphone. I wouldn’t know what to say. So I’m anxious to hear how Rush handles it today.
The Dems have figured out that the POTUS election can be won based on identity politics; appearance, race, gender, and age overcome substance in the age of American Idol.
We need a minority candidate that appeals to minorities and to women. Hillary will likely be the competition, and an old, White guy will not have a chance against her.
I think they knew all along they would win. By kicking out Republican poll watchers, they were able to steal the vote in the key swing states. Fraud was rampant! Same day voter registration along with giving 2 ballots to people voting for this usurper put them over the top!
In Boston they corralled the chinese vote by giving them fake ballots and telling them who to vote for. Obama and Warren.
Those that willingly voted for this disaster deserve what they will get! I am very, very sad!
And this is why you never ever ever ever listen to Dick Morris.
If he says the sky is blue, check it.
Bottom line - The takers now rule. America is dead.
"How did everyone get it so wrong?"
Listening to the advice of Dick Morris is certainly a starting point.
Does anybody have any numbers on the Catholic vote.
2012
OBAMA -- 59,651,236
ROMNEY -- 57,028,531
2008
OBAMA -- 69,456,897
MCCAIN -- 59,934,814
Step one is to get rid of Rove, Morris, Rollins and every other "expert consultant" that's been around longer than 10 years and then start over. Their brand of ubiquitous mediocrity has totally outlived its usefulness
The words "trashbin of history" come to mind.
All non-leftist need to find the best ways of living their lives, while, also, ignoring politics, perhaps for the rest of their lives. Only a total collapse of leftist politics and programs will create a re-emergence of a non-leftist political majority. Until then, conservatism will remain as a political minority. Prove me wrong all you want, if it helps to make you feel any better.
Me too, my face is covered with eggs. Romney had erased the gender gap for a while and if he’d maintained that he would have won. But single white women chose to vote with their vaginas instead of their brains.
