How many tea-party supporters voted for Obama?

A footnote from the national exit poll that I missed earlier this week. Note to the 11 percent: You’re doing it wrong.

Reuters/Ipsos conducted its own exit poll, based on a massive sample of 40,000 people, and got basically the same result — 12 percent of those who “identify strongly” with the tea party pulled the lever for four more years.

Better ask how many Ron Paul supporters voted for O

This RP supporter voted for Romney. A lot voted for Johnson. I'll wager that Romney got a lot more RP votes than O did.

I don't believe any so called statistic that comes out of the media. Nothing can be believed anymore, nothing.

That is the principle that separates thinking, intelligent people from the masses who are brainwashed by the Ministry of Truth, going back to at least Cronkite's Tet offensive broadcast.

Democrat losses were greater ~ that's due to the higher mortality rates suffered by blacks (they are about 40% of the effective field strength of democrat voters). By 2016 the Democrats will be weaker than the Republicans simply because so many more of them will have died, become disabled, or gotten felony convictions. You attribute the lower voting this election to death? I'm not buying it. That holds true only if none of those that turned 18 in the past four years registerd and voted. In 2016, the Democratic party will be STRONGER. They will have had four more years of handing out the government's goodies, cell phones, free internet access, increased benefits, not to mention that the government will be advertising about all the glorious benefits of Obamacare. Four more years of people getting hooked on benefits. Strengthens the Democratic Party.

YOU FORGOT THE BABY BOOMERS.

They are a huge disproportionate bulge in the population ~ and they moved into their period of highest mortality.

The 18 year olds coming along are simply not doing so sufficiently to replace the BOOMERS.

Then there are 50 million aborted voters ~ they simply are there. The overwhelming majority of them are Democrats and Leftwingtards. They were never born. They never grew up. They never registered to vote.

That's why the Democrats are so panicky about getting new voters ~ they already killed theirs off.

The leftwingtards would lie about a lot of things in between molesting children ~ which is a big thing with them. So, yeah, they lie.

Which means a lot of people stayed home.

You are correct. I haven't seen statistics, but a large portion of those staying home, I suspect, were evangelicals outraged at Romney's Mormonism. If so, it was a Pyrrhic "victory."

Best thing for the country is to hold an internet election for a defacto grassroots POTUS, and it should be initiated by none other than Sarah Palin.

Just imagine the uproar of the left when they see an election being held that effectively closes the door on them completely.

Like they say in Russia, “We pretend to work, they pretend to pay us”

We can pretend Obama was elected while we can also pretend that Sarah Palin wins OUR election.
