McCain, 2008 popular vote: 58,319,442
Romney, 2012 popular vote: 58,163,978
4 years of population growth and Romney didn’t draw what McCain did......
Sorry if this has already been posted. FR search hasn’t worked for awhile so there’s no way to check.
As I told my liberal pal....so you’re happy with youth and minorities determining the future of you, your kids and your grandkids?
He was speechless
I had the same observation that night. My wife and I are retired and will now collect social security starting this year. I remember watching the TV thinking “I just got mine and yours”...useful idiots.
Obama won because the decadent and demented now dominate.

The 20-somethings I know, almost all liberal, were all in for Obama because of gay marriage, “reproductive rights”—that’s free contraceptives and abortion on demand—feminism, and “social justice.” Economics didn’t even enter into the picture, except that they bemoan the cost of healthcare and contraceptives and want a single-payer UK-style system. Oh, and Romney was an out-of-touch evil rich white guy who was going to set the course of womens’ rights back fifty years, wanted homosexuals to die, hated brown people, was a KKK-style racist who wanted to re-enslave blacks, and was going to turn America into a right-wing fascist Christian theocracy (never mind that he’s Mormon).
One woman, otherwise intelligent and underemployed and barely scraping by, told me point-blank it was more important that she have her “reproductive rights” than have a job. This is what they believe with the fervor of a Pentecostal in the throes of tongue-speaking.
They don’t think we’re wrong. They think we’re an evil to be eliminated from the face of the earth. They think freedom of speech and freedom of religion should not apply to conservative Christians. They don’t think our voices should be heard in a free and open debate because we’re racist and bigoted and therefore the First Amendment doesn’t apply.
That’s what a huge proportion of the youth in this country believe. They’re basically Red Guards or Comintern without the snappy uniforms, or Weathermen/SDS without the pipe bombs. And they are willing to throw out our 230+-year Constitutional experiment in the name of “social justice.”
Was this what it was like to be a conservative God-fearing American circa 1968? I’m too young to remember.

This article is spot on. It is up to us to educate our children. It can be painful and acrimonious at times, but we cannot give up.
The main reason: bitter internal fighting within conservatives and GOP alliance.
GOP elites and tea party are fighting with each other for resources.
Swear to Gawd this is getting stoopit.
Gary Aminoff observes “.., I was struck that the audience was primarily young people and minorities.”
Really? So the inference is a bunch old, outta touch, Whitey’s didn’t see what the so called unwhashed massed saw?
Idiot.
Romney couldn’t be defined by a Rosetta Stone. He’s not a bad man, just a very unprincipled and a moral wind chime politically.
Even a chump from Brooklyn can smell Cow Crap long before whatever the boundaries of Bakersfield or Coalinga are reached on a hot summer day and even any other day.
As has often been observed, conservatives produce more children, while liberals party on and abort theirs.
Then the Public Schools step in and convert the children of conservatives into liberals, by never allowing them a glimpse of real history or real values.
And tax the hell out of us to pay for it.
As Rush has always said, Obambi wrote off the working class vote and went for the ignorant vote. And Obambi got it. Well, the ignorant who think they are so “smart” will soon discover the people who actually use their brains will stop feeding the pig. And then what will they do?
As a side note, this should be an interesting Thanksgiving dinner with my wife’s liberal family. I’m looking forward to it.
Sadly, when I asked several people why they would vote for for socialism vs democracy the conversation eventually turned to, “Well, I don’t think a dictator would be so bad.” I thought this mentality was isolated to the three people that I talked to. I guess not.
Look into The Frankfurt School for the beginnings and the plan.
