And there you go: more performance than substance.............why you are a good president.....
He can’t “do it”, that is clear.
Whatever machinations came about to continue the Clown’s tenure are over...we are now in America’s gasping for survival under the auspices of the Clown and his boss Valerie.
Of course, our culture that has spat on the Judeo-Christian ethic and has forgotten God, has murdered some 50 million unborn children under the “legal” opinion of the Supreme Court, has purged as much as possible the mention of Jesus Christ from the public square, has turned away from repentance of sin (indeed has tried to create the notion that there IS no such thing), and has walked away from our friend Israel...well, that culture was inevitably going to get as a “leader” someone like the current Clown.
Time to turn our world around, FREEPers...and it starts in our hearts and souls.
Where’s the farking BARF alert ? Probably the biggest load of.CRAP I’ve ever read
And more than 100% turnouts in some precincts. It helped that the DOJ would not allow any State to have voter ID laws.
the moment when a president was talked away from the edge.
Ok, who’s the wise ass that talked him in?
“the moment when a president was talked away from the edge.”
I’d have pushed.
I believe you'd have plenty of help.

Finished investigations? - Not with this administration blocking every move...voter IDS, Benghazi, the IRS, NSA and does anyone even remember Fast and Furious? As hillary said about Benghazi - it doesn’t matter...and she may be right. And we seem powerless to do a damn thing about it.

Oh, bite me, ugh, this whole thing was so disgusting. Obama has policy down cold; he just needs to be more positive, ugh ugh ugh. The way this book fawns all over him while supposedly poking at his flaws - not. His flaws were that he finds debates so much pageantry and he is above such things because he is a lawyer.... Oh, come now.
I think the whole thing was made up. They make plouffe and axelhead look good. Ugh.
“And more than 100% turnouts in some precincts. It helped that the DOJ would not allow any State to have voter ID laws.”
The biggest factor was the Republican candidate Romney.
1) He did not fight to win. Just like McCain in 2008.
2) He did not solicit the help of conservatives or the Tea Party which gave the House of Representatives to the Republicans in 2010. In fact he made it very clear he didn’t want their help.
3) He was the architect of socialized health care in Massachusetts and therefore had zero credibility in arguing against Obama’s greatest vulnerability - Obamacare.
4) He was not popular enough in his home state of Massachusetts to come close to winning the state nor was he strong enough to carry his boyhood home state of Michigan.
5) He chose losers to run his campaign thereby undercutting his claim to be a great executive and manager.
6) After winning the first debate with a strong performance his performance in the second and third debates was pathetic. I believe Romney lost the election when he allowed Obama and Candy Crowley to one-two bitch slap him in the second debate. Any swing voters watching saw Romney demonstrate he was too weak to be President by the incumbent and a third rate moderator/reporter.
7) He showed zero passion in the campaign.
8) He allowed his opponent to define him as a wealthy, out of touch aristocrat throughout the campaign.
9) His get out the vote system to coordinate the ground game on election day crashed. This was inexcusable for a candidate whose major positive attribute was his claim to be an accomplished executive and skillful manager.
Yes there was likely some cheating by the Democrats. However, most of the cheating occurred in urban precincts where they have been cheating for decades and much of the cheating occurred in states they would win anyway. Romney lost key states, such as Florida, Ohio, and Virginia which had Republican governors. A shift of 330,000 votes in those states plus New Hampshire would have won the Electoral College for Romney. It wasn’t cheating that lost the election for Romney. It was his lack of vision, his lack of passion, his incoherent message, his poor performance on the stump and at the debates, his poor choice of advisors and executors, he unwillingness to embrace the Tea Party and conservatives, and his inability to execute at the precinct level on election day.
To summarize, Romney lost the election because he was a miserable candidate who failed to demonstrate to swing voters he was better than what they had. As this article points out, when the chips were down Obama and his team fought to win. Voters never saw the fight in Romney.

Again 330,000 votes would have turned the election.
The Democrats are going to cheat. The media is going to support the Democrat. To win a Republican has to energize the base and enough independents to overcome the Democrat edge. Romney proved a lukewarm candidate with a weak message, zero passion, and poor execution on the ground on election day cannot win. A candidate who wanted to win would have put lawyers on the ground fighting the voter fraud in court as it occurred.
To win you have to fight. Romney did not fight. The other side did.
I agree with you about Romney but there was a lot of voter fraud. There was so much fraud being reported during early voting and I did not understand why no one fought against it. Fear of being called a racist? I certainly hope we can get a candidate that is not afraid to fight next time.
“There was so much fraud being reported during early voting and I did not understand why no one fought against it.”
The only reason I can think a candidate’s team wouldn’t fight is if he didn’t intend to win. I’ve known many successful business executives. They are all highly competitive, highly disciplined, have clear visions for their organizations, and are extremely aggressive in driving themselves and their organizations to achieve stretch goals.
Romney never behaved like an executive who wanted to win. His organization was staffed with paid administrators, not passionate advocates determined to win. His vision was never clearly communicated to the voters. He failed to seize opportunities to differentiate himself from Obama. He allowed his competition to define him and then played a weak game of defense instead of attacking the many failures of his opponent.
A winner would have had a game plan for every precinct in the nation. He and his team would have identified where fraud was likely to occur and would have manned the polling places susceptible to fraud with poll watchers and attorneys. At the first sign of fraud his attorneys would have been in front of a judge.
The more I think about it the more I believe the powers behind the scenes determined Obama would win the 2008 and 2012 elections. Romney and McCain were selected because they agreed to go through the motions and lose gracefully.
I agree.
In particular, Romney had no fight in him at all. People want a fighter.
It’s the closest he’s ever come to having a real job.
I agree 100%.

Agree, again. Look at the tough fight W put up, in 2000. Where was that ground game, with Romney?
This “election” was high farce. Willard was a ringer, just as McCain was in 2008.
