So how exactly did Romney “ignore” you?

Ooooffff.....wait’ll they get wind of this thread. 3...2...1......

They disgust me, those sick bigots. And as one caller stated to Rush yesterday, “ this is what needed to be done”.

Oh, really? Obama back for another 4 years is a GOOD THING? Idiot bigots. You are responsible for the coming apocalypse.

Yeah, well according to the exit polls the so-called “Evangelical base” likes to ride both sides of the fence, and votes Obama by the millions.

Meanwhile, the GOP alienates millions of other potential voters who find fiscal conservatism appealing, but don’t really like the hardline SoCon rhetoric.

The human mind is crazy....Abortion, infanticide, gay marriage and a Christian can vote for that? It does make reason stare.

Here we go again - Obama 2.0 is the Christians’ fault. Brilliant.

What crap.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Total crap. But desperate people have to find someone to blame. And the list is endless: Christie, Libertarians, Birthers, Dems who stole 5-10 million of our votes, Christians, Dick Morris and the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

OK, maybe I made that last one up. But can anyone take a breath and think clearly for one moment. And maybe blame the GOP who conspiired to give us Mittens?

What I’d like to know is why can’t the GOP seem to have a hodge podge big tent coalition

Soros invested in far-left disinformation media and they are having fun using almost every issue to lie and divide conservatives.

From Mark Foley to Bush's DUI to the so-called "weepy Boehner" they are having a field day as conservatives drink the koolaid almost every time and turn against their leaders.

Can you read? The percent of Evangelicals for Romney is 80%. That is NOT riding both sides of the fence. No other demographic came anywhere NEAR as close in supporting the Mormon.

But hey... Go ahead and bash Christians if it makes you feel better. Blame us, mmm-kay? That’s what liberals do.

The devil has fooled many into believing that they are Christians, but they are not.

You are correct sir. As an Evangelical Christian, I believe if these people voted for Obozo, they do not know the Lord, or they do not know the issues, and if they do not know the issues, they need to get their heads out of the sand.

Any Christian who voted for 0 is apostate.

Bingo.

Nielson showed a decline in electoral night viewers (2008 and 2012) by about 6 million. That seems to be in line with the overall decline in votes for the 2012 election.

It will be interesting to see the analyses of the Senate losses. It wasn’t that long ago that it appeared the GOP would win several seats that ended up staying or moving to the Dem column.

Where those Obama coattails?

We know the IN and MO losses were due to the GOP candidates’ mouths.

==

It would also be interesting to find out why Rove, Morris, Barone, and several of the ‘conservative’ talkshow hosts were so completely wrong about their projections.

This time, it seemed that most of the polling organizations were very accurate.

Not all Evangelicals are Conservatives.

True. The word "evangelical" has come to be meaningless in that many theological liberals freely use it. Theological liberalism inevitably leads to political liberalism. The term "evangelical" technically means: "one who tells the good news". It's easy to see how both liberals and conservatives could find ways to argue they are doing just that.

And then there are those bible conservative Christians who will say that voting for a guy who is for the working man does not mean that you believe his other policies. That is real common among multi-generational democratic families.

I would bet the house that the 6 million self described Evangelicals who voted for Obama also look a lot like Obama. Race trumps all.

Romney ignored the base for his presidential run on things he said 15 years ago when running in MA?

Uh...right.

Truth is...Romney directly addressed the concerns of his base when he ran for President. He appointed almost as conservative a VP as possible to allay those concerns and as candidate for President voiced support for conservative positions.

His fiscal policies were excellent and his debate performances were so stellar he even won the vote of one of his most outspoken critics, the owner of this forum. But you can never please everyone and the back-seat drivers will always, always be there.
