Conservatives stayed home to re-elect Pharoah Obama?

No, they didn't stay home to re-elect Obama, they stayed home because the candidate that Rove and the GOP elite forced on us was 2,000,000 votes less motivating than even McCain.

Stay tuned. Rove will do it again in 2016 with Jeb Bush.

"was 2,000,000 votes less motivating than even McCain."

Not true. 2012 2008

Actually, the GOP vote has been increasing for 20 years:

1996   Dole     37,816,307
2000   Bush     50,459,211
2004   Bush     59,130,092
2008   McCain   59,948,323
2012   Romney   60,265,579

Grow up. It's time to put away this foolishness. The GOP elite did not force Romney down anyone's throat and even if they did, Romney is far superior to Obama.

It is also false that Romney got 2,000,000 votes less than McCain. IIRC, at last count, Romney actually has more than McCain so be accurate.

Why do you fear Jeb Bush--just don't vote for him. No one is going to go into a voting booth and hold a gun to your head to made sure you vote Bush. This irrational behavior here on FR has got to stop. We have a job to do and that is to try to save our country BUT I fear it may be too late. Too many here on FR have more fun trying to be perpetual victims and whine, whine, whine.

Maybe it's time to start thinking about who you want next and don't worry about the GOPe because they're not a factor. You can support anyone you want.

"According to the National Popular Vote Tracker, Governor Romney garnered 59,979,858 votes this election cycled compared to Senator McCain in 2008 who picked up 59,948,323 votes. President Barack Obama, on the other hand, dropped about 5.5 million votes behind his 2008 total to 64,005,851 this year. "
