Lower turnout than for McCain in 2008?? Seriously? Do I believe that? HELL NO, Not for ONE second.

I went to bed last night thinking there was something seriousely wrong with a nation that voted to keep their same leader that had wrought so much pain on its population EVEN given the fact he owns the media. AND for the Congress to be at it's lowest approval rating of all time, and then the election leaves them in the same balance??? I AM NOT BUYING IT - SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE POPULAR VOTE. THERE WAS MUCH MORE EXCITEMENT FOR MITTENS THAN THERE EVER WAS FOR McLAME.

We have been saying this at home, also, today. Just don't get it. Maybe those machines were adjusted to vote for Obama every time a vote was made for Mitt. How can we know when our votes disappear down rabbit holes? I was WAY more happy with Romney/Ryan than I was for McCain. That crowd enthusiasm did not register as votes?

You underestimate the power of propaganda.

Just take a look at the lessons from history, 40 million people starved to death in China, and people there STILL loved Mao and believed that he could do no wrong. If that can happen, then anything is possible with the right propaganda machine, our economic pains are nothing compared to that.

Well if you ask me, and you aren't but, I think we were told who was president last night. No votes counted, just told who won.

“...I AM NOT BUYING IT - SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE POPULAR VOTE. THERE WAS MUCH MORE EXCITEMENT FOR MITTENS THAN THERE EVER WAS FOR McLAME....”

“THE FIX” was in before the first ballot was ever cast. Odongo knew it and that’s why he was never shaken-ed or worried. He didn’t even have to perform all the well in the debates. Hell, he didn’t even campaigned that last day. That’s why he told his followers to “stay calm”. FoxNews knew it too and thus the negative reporting for Romney right out of the box before the vote tallies were out. Even Moochie knew it and had tonight’s party already planned at the WH. Only ones that didn’t “know it” were the “unwashed masses” out there in the hinterlands.

Something does not pass the smell test. You had a few polling firms leaving Florida, NC, and Virginia 10 days before the election because Romney had won them. Yesterday, there were numerous reports of huge (the largest ever) turnouts in republican areas while dem areas were low to moderate. Last night in nearly every battleground state, you could tell that the chair was going to win that state by 1 vote, 1-2 hours it was called.

And overall votes are down after what we have gone through the last 4 years?? Again, something does not pass the smell test. We may have witnessed the largest electronic voter fraud scandal ever. I hope that they do canvassing in recount audits the next few days to see if the ballots cast match the number of people who showed up.

THERE WAS MUCH MORE EXCITEMENT FOR MITTENS THAN THERE EVER WAS FOR McLAME.

There were more people excited for Mitt, but fewer in the "moderate support" category who would vote for him, but probably not show up at rally's, etc.

Why fewer?

Consider the food stamp recipient numbers. 17 million people more are on food stamps, now, than in 2007, I believe? A decent % of that 17 million are good, probably moderate to somewhat conservative people, who surely do not want to be on food stamps, but they have no good alternative. In principle, they might want to vote for Romney, but the hope of better jobs is too far out. They'll vote for the perception of whoever is offering the most assistance (or won't pull it) over the next several months.

Then consider all the other areas in which even working people with reasonably decent jobs have been maneuvered by the libs into circumstances where they depend on Gov't "help" of one kind or another. (The "help" itself is often the weapon the libs employ, to drive up costs of housing or education or health care, to name a few, to the point that average families can't afford those basic / should-be / not long ago were affordable necessities.)

This is the evil way that the socialists corrupt and bring under their political and economic control people who would not otherwise be so inclined to support them. If they only succeeded in doing this to a few percent of the electorate, in the last 4 years, that explains the result we see. We have, indeed, gone over the tipping point.

What I posted above, by the way, is much more insidious and evil than voter fraud. It is really a form of slavery, but for the most part it is legal, and often the “beneficiaries” don’t realize the magnitude of what they have lost. At least for a good while, anyway...

Voter fraud at least you have a chance of discovering, and applying legal actions to, fairly quickly.
