Free Republic

It was 134 when I first checked, dropped 20 on my second visit.

Yes, it works. To all who say its scrubbed, you need tohave a FB account and be logged in to view the page, otherwise it will tell you the content is unavailable.

The comments to that article are a complete cesspool...100% bashing West.

Keep hearing that our votes were ‘deleted...uh, doesn’t pass the logic test. First, to delete our votes where it matters, it would have to be done in heavy R precints. Pretty sure those would have R poll watchers all over it. Heck, my precinct in liberal N Cali had Rs there. Second, O voters didn’t show up in much larger numbers than ours...were their votes deleted, too?

So in other words, they were just like us?

At first, I got home from voting and turned on the tele, the first results looked good...IN flipped right away, O stuck with just the 3 votes from VT, initial votes from NC and VA looked good, but then...fricken FL just would not budge. I was following the FL results for over an hr, thinking at some point the numbers would go our way, and they just never did. The ground game there and in OH, just blew it.

Like to believe this, but somehow I believe the 47% are not going away. The best we can hope for is that some of them don’t show up, like in 2010.

I’m really getting tired of it, election after election. Pretty soon, I’m going to be fed up and when I am, I’m going to start voting for every tax increase, every gun grabbing law out there. I ain’t there yet, but I’m getting fed up.

Agree with all the sentiment here. We saw that the EV was way down from 2008, which told us this election was very winnable. Where the hell were the missing few million?

Agree with both of you. We should have won OH, FL, VA, and CO but didn’t. Nonetheless, we can’t just double down on failure and just chase the white vote, something I’m seeing over and over in these threads. True, the white vote has some votes left on the table we didn’t get, as we didn’t lose WI and IA because of the non white vote. However, past a certain point, you are trying to get Unionists, Socialists, Communists, and the gay vote.

Read the link, but it’s all opinion no facts.

...”it’s on the internet...they can’t put anything on the internet that isn’t true!”...

I’m so tired of hearing this. Anyone who falls for media bullshit at this stage just needs to be shot.

People keep saying this, despite all the evidence against it.

Too early to say why we lost, because certain things just don’t add up. Ok, so this was a +6 D election per exit polls...so how does the House of Reps stay R in that kind of election? People far smarter and knowledgeable than us need to delve into the data and find out what happened.

But let’s start out with the facts, the first and foremost being that Obama barely won. Let’s stop pretending that we got crushed. If anyone listened to Charles Krauthammer last night, he had the right take on this. There is no need for soul searching he said, there is just a need to GOTV and deal with the huge non-white gap.

I know what you mean, + 6 D turnout and all, but also remember O got 69 million votes last time and he wont come anywhere near that this time. So this wasnt exactly 2008. It seems Romney’s ground game was lacking.

Hear, hear, I totally agree. Obama barely won. Nothing changed in congress, though a few poor senate candidates were elected...huge missed opportunity.

In fact, what thell happened inOhio...I thought the EV was close enough that if Romney got the election day turnout that McCain got, he would win. Well, I guess he didnt get the McCain turnout, another reason why I think the ground game was crap tonight.

He was going with the data we had at the time. Remember Ras and Gallup had a + 5/6 R electorate...well, that was a complete fantasy. If Romney wouldve got the 59 million votes McCain got, he would be the next president. All the talk about the Republican excitement, and yet their turnout sucked.

Nope, not wrong. Eventually, there will be a time where 100% of the white vote wont be enough. It isnt all about amnesty, its about first acknowledging they exist, and then explaining why our philosophy is better for them. You dont have to win 50%, even...just enough to take out the Rat advantage. W did this, and won 2 elections in this same electorate.

He does understand the game, in fact, much better than anyone here. He is right that we cant win with the just the white male vote. For that, we crucify him here, for saying these things that we dont want to hear. Yet he won 2 elections. The hispanic vote needs to be courted, it is a guaranteed way to stop the leftists cold, but people dont want to hear that.
