I wasn’t the least bit surprised that Romney lost...He couldn’t beat McCain and McCain lost...
Makes me think the loss was intentional...
To wit, U.S. demographics are changing more rapidly every year that passes and those changes are all in favor of liberal governance and socialistic taxation/spending policies. The Dims gain strength from the demographic changes and we lose strength. To make matters worse yet, we can't join them in appealing to that rapidly growing liberal vote bloc without abandoning our own principles in re government and economic/social issues. If we do abandon those principles and adopt the opposition's principles, or lack of same, simply in order to attract liberal voters, we would lose a large number of right wing "told you I would" voters who up until now now have held their noses and voted for moderate Republicans who they neither like nor agree with, what good purpose would that serve other than the ability to boast that we won and the Dims lost? Furthermore, if after winning the people who we elected return to governing from a more conservative standpoint on the issues that are most important to that rapidly growing Hispanic/black/feminist bloc, i.e., economic and social/moral policies, we would not only lose the next election we would probably never win another one thereafter. I don't have a solution myself, but I don't think anyone else does either at this perplexing moment in time.
Of course as an evangelical Christian I believe the only lasting answer to our situation is a return by government to the founders' practice of enacting laws and establishing policies in accordance with God's moral laws, and along with that, by we the people ourselves honoring His principles of generosity and kindness to others in our day to day relationships with our fellow citizens. And I have little hope for that to take place as our moral standards continue to slide toward the proverbial gutter. I believe that all things are possible with God, but there is a point at which He reaches His limit of tolerance, takes His hands off of a nation or people group, and allows it to go it's way into wreck and ruin. I'm very afraid that we are drawing close to that point, but I continue to pray that we will wake up in time to reverse course.
Some of us were not surprised. We got called “Eeyores.”
Social Media and Twitter have revolutionized the communications landscape in the way that talk radio did in the early 90’s.
The Dems were able to microtarget voters (particularly younger voters) with carefully tailored single-issue messages about amnesty, government-funded sluttery, Big Bird or whatever their particular pet issue might be.
This allowed them to remain under the radar and create the public impression that the Dems “lacked enthusiasm”.
I said on here a while back that Obama would win and was told I was wrong. Actually I was hoping I was wrong too. lol
I was not as surprised by Nov. 6 as much as I was disgusted. I haven’t had faith in my fellow Americans wisdom in a long time. Bush was NOT my first choice by a long shot, I knew from the first time I heard him talk he was a moderate. But he was better than Gore and Kerry. I’ve been voting “against” more than voting “for” for the last 20+ years. Let’s just put it this way - last time I was excited about a candidate was Reagan. Would we get another before it’s too late to undo the mess.
The fix is in. We have been sold out by the New World Order one world government group for many years.
Pray to God and apologize to your children.
