There were many factors that hurt Mitt Romney and favored Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election. The Democrats portrayed Romney in the worst light possible; as a wealthy, out of touch millionaire who wanted to return women to the 1800's. The left wing media predictably did everything it could to perpetuate that false caricature. Obama's race was an advantage; voters of all persuasions, particularly minorities, still cannot get over the allure of the first black president. The 47% of Americans on welfare were predisposed to vote for the food stamp president over Romney, wanting the free goodies to keep on giving, despite the long-term unsustainability.
n spite of those odds, polls indicated that Romney was going to win the election. The economy is close to Great Depression era conditions, and unemployment is almost as high as when Obama entered office. Economic conditions became so dire after Obama took office it prompted the rise of an entire new movement, the Tea Party. Presidents rarely win reelection when the economy is in the tank.
So how did Romney lose a race that numerous reputable polls and pundits predicted would be an easy win, based on historical patterns? The most realistic explanation is voter fraud in a few swing states. According to the Columbus Dispatch, one out of every five registered voters in Ohio is ineligible to vote. In at least two counties in Ohio, the number of registered voters exceeded the number of eligible adults who are of voting age. In northwestern Ohio's Wood County, there are 109 registered voters for every 100 people eligible to vote. An additional 31 of Ohio's 88 counties have voter registration rates over 90%, which most voting experts regard as suspicious. Obama miraculously won 100% of the vote in 21 districts in Cleveland, and received over 99% of the vote where GOP inspectors were illegally removed.
The inflated numbers can't just reflect voters who have moved, because the average voting registration level nationwide is only 70%. The vast majority of voters over the 70% level are not voting because they want to, they are voting because someone is getting them to cast a vote, one way or another. Those 31 counties are most likely the largest counties in Ohio, representing a majority of Ohio voters. This means the number of votes cast above the 70% typical voter registration level easily tops 100,000, the margin Obama won Ohio by.
Videographer James O'Keefe, known for his undercover videos exposing left wing fraud, caught a Virginia Democratic Congressman's son on video in October explaining how to commit voter fraud. Patrick Moran, the son of Rep. Jim Moran, told O'Keefe's videographer that in order to make a vote for someone else, you'd need two pieces of identification, such as a utility bill, explaining, "they can fake a utility bill with ease, you know?" He went on to advise the videographer that he should also call the voter and pretend to be a polling company in order to make sure the voter isn't intending to vote. He said that Democrat attorneys would be located in the polling places to assist him if challenged casting one of these illegal votes.
In another video, O'Keefe's videographer tells a DNC staffer from Obama's Organizing for America that she intends to vote in both Texas and Florida. The staffer laughs and says, "It's cool." The staffer then prints out a voter registration form for the undercover videographer and advises her on what to do if she gets caught.
These are just the known instances of attempted voter fraud. How many instances occurred that were not discovered? Obama's Organizing for America looked up voters in swing states – many who would not have bothered voting otherwise – and got them to vote. How did they get them to vote? They may have given them rides to the polls, they may have offered to fill out and return their ballots for them, or they may have voted ballots for the ones who were not going to vote.
Many on the left believe there is nothing wrong with committing fraud in order to ensure Obama's reelection. It is a common tenet on the left that the ends justify the means. Saul Alinsky, the 1960's radical who inspired Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, taught community organizers like Obama that dishonesty is acceptable if it achieves your political goals. And when caught, Alinsky teaches radicals to deny the wrongdoing and change the topic to put their accusers on the defensive. One Obama supporter brazenly posted on Facebook that he was voting four times for Obama, asserting that the ends justify the means.
Aiding Obama's win was a devious suppression of the conservative vote. The conservative-leaning military vote has decreased drastically since 2010 due to the so-called Military Voter Protection Act that was enacted into law the year before. It has made it so difficult for overseas military personnel to obtain absentee ballots that in Virginia and Ohio there has been a 70% decrease in requests for ballots since 2008. In Virginia, almost 30,000 fewer overseas military voters requested ballots than in 2008. In Ohio, more than 20,000 fewer overseas military voters requested ballots. This is significant considering Obama won in both states by a little over 100,000 votes.
Voter fraud has been in the works for years. At least 52 employees of the left wing group ACORN have been convicted of voter registration fraud. ACORN itself was convicted of the crime of "compensation," paying its registration canvassers bonuses to exceed their quotas. In 2008, 36% of ACORN's voter registrations were invalidated. Left wing political pundit Chris Matthews admitted last year that pretending to call someone from a polling company, then voting their ballot for them, has been happening in big cities since the 1950's. He admitted he knows that kind of voter fraud takes place in Philadelphia.
Strong-arming people into voting who really have no desire to vote undermines our form of government. People do not choose to vote because they are uninformed about the issues and candidates, are lazy, cynical, or are content with the status quo. Voting someone else's ballot for them is cheating the system and essentially giving yourself two votes.
When people claim that Obama won because the economy was improving, or because Americans generally think he is doing a good job, it is not true. He won through dishonest methods and rhetoric. Many of the votes cast in the swing states were cajoled, some legally and perhaps even more illegally, into supporting him. If voter fraud becomes acceptable, then maybe Donald Trump is right: it's time for a revolution.
“Close primaries” Why? How?
“Strict voter ID in ALL states.” Most blue states depend on
freaky multiple and illegal voters to keep their own
libtards in charge.
“NO early ballots.” You know what a bum rush is? In some places people standing outside in long lines tend to freeze
to death. You are right we do need to get rid of it outright
Maybe some kind of mobile voting bus could ride around like an icecream truck ringing a bell or playing some annoying
repetitive “ come on out and vote” song on election day.
“Make sure that all military gets to vote”. I never
understood why this was ever a problem. Unless of course the
the outcome was so obvious. And you know where that
buck stops.
“Make sure all voters are citizens of the USA.”
“Make it very obvious that getting an ID is NOT a hardship for anyone. That is here legally”
PURGE the voter rolls.
Refer to
“Strict voter ID in ALL states.”
Your right on all counts but it’s going to take good
conservative leadership across the board to do it. And
a good way to do it is to make everyone as sick of the
liberal party as the media made everyone sick of
George Bush. Every time some tard gripes about the economy,
remind them that this is what they voted for. Then follow
that up with “you idiot”.

If you aren't a liberal mole, you might as well be one, Galtoid.
People, liberals have the upper hand as long as Galtoid's mindset bamboozles anyone, right or left.
It's like a house with two dogs, a big Golden Retriever and a rat terrier. The Golden shamelessly lets the little dog boss him around because he cannot wrap his mind around the fact that he's actually bigger. We laugh and think it's cute when it's dogs -- but when it happens to us, we're just like the Retreiver.
Obama had to cheat because he knows we outnumber the legitimate voters who'd vote for him. It happens in state elections, local elections, national elections, cities like Chicago -- liberalism has to cheat because we -- those of us who reject what liberal Democrats are selling -- are more numerous than they are.
The MSM and the left wants everyone to keep on thinking most Americans are flake losers/victims in need of government management, when the evidence all around us -- from the everyday people who are our neighbors and employers and helpers and friends, to increasingly blatant vote fraud and vote ginning -- indicates that on the contrary, most Americans think flake loser mooches are jerks.
But like the retreiver to the terrier, most Americans think they, the ones resisting all this statist liberal crap, are the "little" dog; in America, liberalism is the six-pound Alpha dog via the Democrat party and the Republican party is the 75-lb beta dog.
Anybody who believes that America "a nation of mooches" deserves a swift kick in the ass.
“No it was the Secretary of State Project
to elect “progressive” Sec of St so that elections could be controlled.”
That’s funny. I heard Alex Jones saying that years ago and
thought he was nuts. Maybe old man Jones aint so nuts
after all.
“The Democrats portrayed Romney in the worst light possible; as a wealthy, out of touch millionaire who wanted to return women to the 1800’s.”
democrats, hell. It was the f-ing “media” whores!!!!!!
-— what was the one common aspect of every Dem ad I saw in PA ? They called the other guy a “millionaire” usually with ominous music playing. Interesting and ironic that in all cases the dem was a millionaire too.
If the electorate thinks that being successful at what you do is an automatic disqualifacation for election than we’ve already lost.

Forgot to include you in ping to my #64.
I live in NYS. My vote for president has NEVER counted. SO I had the luxury of casting a protest vote.
So I cast my throwaway vote for president for a third party candidate as a protest vote.
If I had lived in a swing state, I may not have.
That’s true but it’s more the complete stupidity of the ignorant , brainwashed, low life douche bag American public
“Don’t know how it will end, but it’s pretty obvious that it will start sooner than later.”
It started the day an AK and an AR doubled in price and
they still were selling. This country is getting armed to the
teeth. It will ignite with a defensive action cased by
federal aggression. The fist state, leader or group to stand
up to it will be stomped on like a bug to set an example and
then all hell will break loose. Without a military to back him up
Obama may resort to seeking the aid of a foreign military
or two and we’ll have WWIII right here
Just watch, if there is an investigation it will not include democrat illegality.
I feel like I am in the Twilight Zone. Everyone talking about “We’ll get ‘em next time” Is there a disconnect? Is this sport for some? There isn’t gonna be a next time. If this voter fraud isn’t exposed —because they’ve taken it to a whole new level—it’s very likely they stole an entire election this time—they will only still it bigger and badder next time.
I’ve felt this way for many years, but most especially now — that I am living in “The Matrix,” “The Truman Show,” and “The Outer Limits.” Plus, TZ on top of all of that.
Yes, like others - you are going to do something. Exactly what are you going to do?
Let’s be honest - Americans are lazy. They are mostly overweight. They are addicted to the internet and television. They set behind a computer screen and post on forums about how they are going to do this or do that.
Call them as I see them. Scientific fact on the weight problems for Americans. Other addictions, as well - fact.
We have given up our freedoms. The enemy didn’t even have to fire off a shot. Americans have given away more than they will ever get back.
9-11 was just the start. You have been played for the fool. This election may very well have been stolen. You aren’t going to do anything about it that will meaningfully change the outcome.
America will continue to drift towards the left. Conservatism is dead. The GOP will have to either split or be laid to rest.
Patriots only exist behind computer screens these days. Oh sure, some will get out and vote. Heck a few may even go to a rally or hold a sign. But nobody will go further than that. There will be no civil war (as some on here talk or dream about) to take back our country. Nobody is going to put up a fight to bring America back to where she used to be. Those days are gone. History.
This generation will never know the freedoms they lost. This is a post 9-11 world. They will continue to give up more and more of the civil rights and liberties. Again, without a shot fired at them.
America is becoming Europe. Debt will continue to pile up into the trillions of dollars.
The debt ceiling will be raised to 17 trillion dollars. The debt ceiling will be raised again next year to over 18 trillion dollars. Before 2016 arrives we will likely see the debt clock reach 18 to 19 trillion dollars (if you are lucky).
Unfunded programs will bankrupt states. Austerity will arrive next. Billions will have to be cut from pension funds and other state promised programs.
All the while Americans will do nothing about it.
Welcome to the new world! America made their choice or the election was stolen from them. Either way Obama will be king for the next four years.
The cold wind you feel isn’t winter arriving. It is the death of our nation.
I think -— like most of us do — that there are way too many leeches/takers/moochers right now. However, I find it hard to believe that they would all go vote! Especially if it’s true that “turnout” was 100% in some places????? I know they’re good at stealing our money, but just find it impossible that they all would have suddenly gone to the polls. They can barely get to the grocery store for their fine steaks and ice cream the first of the month (payday for welfare here).
We saw thousands of polls this election season. How about someone pays for one more huge poll ?
Poll OH citizens and ask them 1) did you vote for the Democrat, Republican, Other or no one in this election ?
2)Did you vote for Dem/REp/Other or no one in the last election ?
I’d like to see how the results stack up and how many voted for McCain and didn’t vote for Romney. Maybe they can also keep track of those who said no one and check if someone voted in their stead.
I also wonder if anyone has taken the time to count up the votes in the 90 plus turnout precints in the swing states ? If you adjusted those precincts down to the average state level of turnout how many votes would that take away from Obama ? and would it affect the outcome ? You can’t tell me that people that have never done anything in their lives but wait for a check will turnout for anything at a 100% level and no group of any sort in this country can be convinced to vote 100% in favor of anything, I don’t care if racism is involved or not.
Agreed.
But they are the minority. Vote fraud proves it, as well as the success and righteousness of moral people all around us. America is dominated by strong and moral people who think there are way too many leeches/takers/moochers right now.
There are more of us than there are of the leeches/takers/moochers. If there weren't, Democrats wouldn't have to resort to fraud.
I say conservatives and the GOP (if still around) should focus on honing in our own Chicago style campaign tactics come mid-term and 2016. I want to see 140% of reported vote in RED DISTRICTS!
Half of my town appears to be on the dole or on crack/meth, yet I hardly saw any BO stickers or signs, and I really doubt most of them made it to the polls. Well, we still have old-fashioned voting, not banana republic/Stalinist Diebolds, so it would have been a bit harder to steal AZ.
It completely had to be fraud in those certain states. I refuse to believe we are that far gone to be tipped over into full-fledged moocher-ville. There’s a lot of anecdotal stories around all of these threads too, about strange Bolshevik-type ballot monitors — never seen before in the election place... Just that alone really gives me the creeps.
