They lost because Ubama unleashed an IRS voter-suppression campaign.
If the base would have showed up in 2012 in the same force they had in 2010, Ubama would have been smoked.
The cold hard facts are that we had a good 4 million voters die off between 2004 and 2008, and another 4 million die off between 2008 and 2012.
That's a drop of 8 million from George Bush's last election. At the same time Romney got about a million more than McCain, which means we added 5 million voters to the number we had in 2008!
Obama's forces of evil faced a comparable situation due to death and disability of so many Baby Boom voters.
People telling you that America is running out of white people, or that Conservatives stayed home are either poor analysts, or they never heard of the normal death rate, or they want you to feel despondent and give up.
