Forget it. It was the GOP that lost us the election. No message, a lousy candidate, and a dispirited electorate. You can blame “illegals,” women, blacks, or whatever else you want, but the fact is that we lost because not enough people voted for us.

Dem fraud was involved, definitely, but if enough people had voted GOP, it wouldn’t have been so easy for them and in fact they probably couldn’t have pulled it off. I had the feeling that they were prepared to lose - until they saw how weak we were and what a lousy candidate we fielded. Then they knew it would just be a few thousand strategic votes (real or fraudulent) here and there that could put them over the top.

Until we get a party that really believes in its platform and party leaders who let a “believer” candidate run and get the message out, and stop thinking that we just deserve the vote of one or another group because we’re not Dems, we’ll lose. Heck, even white males (the supposed GOP demographic) didn’t vote for Romney.

It’s nice to blame other people, but we’ve got to look in the mirror.

What about anyone can beat Barry? You don’t believe that anymore? What one good thing has he done FOR America that anyone would vote for him? What makes you think voter fraud wasn’t a factor in ‘08, also? Obama screams fraudulent, it is his very nature.

I don’t believe those who tell us who didn’t vote for Romney. It’s the same ilk that refuses to expose Barry.
