How to Lose an Election(It's actually quite easy)
Vanity | 11/07/2012 | Vendome

Posted on 11/07/2012 9:57:04 PM PST by Vendome

So I'm sitting here today licking my wounds and wondering how in the hell I could be so wrong in my predictions for this election and suddenly it came to me.

Just don't show up....Read on below

I am reminded of that movie “Guide for the Married Man.” Walter Mathau is in bed with a babe when his wife Gladys (from Bewitched) comes in and he and the babe calmly get up and dress and she leaves and he turns to her “What woman?” “Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?”

The depressing thing to me about this wasn’t that we have 4 more years of zero. It is this, we have arrived at a place where they can steal an election in broad daylight and no one says a thing. I have been telling folks for several years we need to get ready to live in a third world country. Sometimes I just don’t listen to my own advice. It ain’t healthy to point out Dear Leader’s new clothes are “unusual”.
If you check, weeks before the election I warned that a President Romney would actually do all the things we worry zero would try. Disarming us, etc. and the RINOs wouldn’t lift a finger. In fact night before last I pointed out that the good thing about this result was that we didn’t have to wait to be disappointed by Romney. He disappointed exactly as he was supposed to at 12:55 that night. He missed a great opportunity to help us and gave a great concession speech (I am sure, although I still haven’t bothered to listen to it). Thanks, Mitt.

No, I am someone who believes that the GOP needs some youthful energy, which is what the Paul supporters provided.

Like they had accomplished something and no longer had the belly to be called racists.

I think they probably also no longer had the belly to be fought tooth and nail by the GOP establishment.

A bunch of nut cases at the web site. I will never understand that mindset. I wonder who they will vote for when they bring back lions and coliseums.

nut cases in the name of Christianity. Makes me ashamed.

They VOTED THEIR PRINCIPLES, FOR SURE. Didn't want to vote for no SATAN? rofl.

So heavenly minded, they are of no earthly good.

my neighbor goes to church all the time. he was trying to tell me that you can sin on Saturday and get forgiven on Sunday. does that go for elections also? I believe but I don’t have any use for church. it seems like everyone I meet that goes to church on a regular basis is a hypocrite, does not follow the teachings of Jesus and does stupid things like not vote because of a single issue.

There are some very good Churches out there. I belong to one of them. I know what you are saying, but think of it this way. At least those Hypocrits know where they belong.

I am a sinner, every minute of every day, but I am SAVED by GRACE through FAITH. I am the only one that is accountable to me, and I am accountable for no other person. I simply go to Church, enjoy the fellowship and IGNORE things that I don't like, NOMB. The Lord will shift it all out one day.

Now as far as those VOTE FOR JESUS people, that is complete insanity. Makes me sick, but it is what it is and I will never understand such WEAK MINDED IGNORANT STUBBORN people. They remind me of the Jews in the desert for 40 years, complaining all the time.

Then why did we never stand in line for the prior 20 years?

Maybe it was a combination of things. Maybe there were less voting stalls and more stupid people. I remember during one of the Clinton elections, they were able to round up a bunch of illiterates in our precinct which slowed voting down..
