For the first time in my life, I am almost about to believe massive technical voter fraud. There is just no way that this country turned out in numbers 15 million less than in 08. I figured Obama could get 60 million votes, maybe more. I thought 70 million would vote against him.
The evangelical counts will be interesting, but dang, I am about ready to add tin foil hats as an accessory....
5. Crazy polls showing easy R win.
6. $1 billion in negative ads to demotivate voters.
7. MSM false narratives to demotivate the base.
Nothing will change until the GOP rights those wrongs and corrects history.
I don’t buy it.....I believe there was sophisticated fraud....we lost 180,000 Registered DEMOCRATS in Oregon in the last 4 years....and the DEMS won here big time...something is NOT right...we are being Alinskied
Mormon Gap? Some could not get over that perhaps? My own view is that all voters were particularly fatigued this cycle. When that happens, its up to the ground game, the GOTV efforts, in which it is clear that the Dems are decades ahead of the GOP
Romney wasn’t inspirational, someone who doesn’t believe, only pays lip service ... is truly the wrong guy to have as your champion.
Dumbed down Americans. Years of communists teaching in our schools, Hollywood productions, and the MSM. Too large to ever defeat.
IMHO, the repulsican “establishment” gave us Romney. He is indeed a good man, but he is not what we wanted or needed for this election. (His religion is of little consequence to me...but his coefficient of “RINOness” is.)
Folks, we’ve got some serious house cleaning to do. Get rid of the RINOs.
As for me, I am no longer a Republican until we do.
And I pray that we can put off CW-II for a while...although I doubt it.
VOTER FRAUD: THOUSANDS OF VOTES FOR ROMNEY WERE DESTROYED YESTERDAY, BOTH PAPER AND ELECTRONIC!
Conservatives were eager to vote. Even the polls suggested Republican enthusiasm was at an all time high.
Does not make sense ... unless:
Republican early ballots were trashed.
Republican absentee ballots were trashed.
Let me say one other thing about women.
Women truly do have a intuition ... they have a gut sense when something isn’t right.
Romney was setting this off....So was Obama, but Obama was a known commodity.
Women aren’t going to admit this, because this is deep in their nature and they likely don’t realize this themselves, but this is a large part of the huge failure of Romney to reach women.
GOP forced Romney on us when 7 out of 10 primary voters wanted SOMEONE ELSE (more conservative)
Democrats reported they'd hit a wall 4 years ago into new registrants. For whatever reason they had an even weaker program this year. Republicans didn't seem to have any program at all. Whether that was the decision of the candidate and his crowd, or just indolence or stupidity on the part of party officials, I don't think we'll ever get a good answer, or one they'll admit to, but it didn't happen!
I predicted this earlier this year ~ that we'd have an historic low turnout below expected numbers, and that's what happened!
In 2008 the dems stuffed extra ballots in the box - Remember the counties with greater than 100% turnout? This time they likely destroyed ballots after they were mailed or put into the ballot box in Republican counties.
Romney was a horrible candidate, a crappy Democrat-lite liberal running against the Far Leftist Obama.
He got crushed because he was never a real conservative. When people don’t have a choice - well they don’t want the fraud over the real guy!
That’s why the GOP lost Senate seats with a weak presidential candidate with no real coattails.
So if we can migrate enough of the minority of conservatives from states like CA, PA, MA, MD, CT, etc. to Ohio, Florida, Colorado and Wisconsin, we would never lose another election. How can we get that done? Just like the New Yorkers have done to Pennsylvania.
RINO top of ticket with Conservative VP doesn’t work; it pisses off the Conservatives and the moderate never stands firm and appears flip-floppy and weak. But we already knew that...
A lot of us warned that a Rino would not motivate voters.
Although, you’d think the possibility of another 4 years of O would be plenty of motivation enough.
What disturbs me isn’t just that we lost, but that after 4 years of O it shouldn’t even have been close. I think I felt something similar when Clinton won reelection. I thought, the first time people didn’t realize what they were getting. The second time, they know full well what they are getting and choose it anyway.
I am suspicious of vote fraud too. The fact that the Dems are so determined to prevent voters from presenting their ID should speak volumes.
It appears Obama lost votes among white Democrats who refused to vote because of racism, non-white voters because of the economy, and all races affected by Hurricane Sandy. Romney won the white vote at the same level as Reagan, but more non-white voters either voted for Obama because of race and partisan ideology or refused to vote for Obama because of the economy and religion while refusing to vote for Romney on the basis of race and partisan discrimination.
