How could I have been so wrong? I mean, I had so much misplaced faith and trust in my neighbors.

It could be that they actually were smarter than you're thinking: consider Romney's past, he's really liberal -- how can you get socialism out of the office by electing a socialist? You were betrayed, not by your fellows, but by the GOP leadership who had anointed Romney from before the primaries. (It's said far better here.)

Yup....it’s not about giving up. It’s a numbers game. And the numbers have changed in America FOREVER. This could have ALL been avoided with some sane immigration controls back in the 80s or early 90s. Too late now.

Agreed, if twenty to thirty percent of qualified voters don't bother voting then what is the cause?
I believe that infiltrated communists redefined the median between the right and the left. For instance, if the Tea Party who are pro constituionalist meaning they believe in the “law of the land” are labeled as extremists, then certainly the people who don't vote see no distinguishing difference between the candidates. By moving the median point declaring law abiding citizens are extreme then the disinterested voters have no one to vote for.

I do not believe the exit polls....any of them.

I firmly believe we have just been the victims of the biggest fraud in the history of mankind.

I refuse to believe that the American people were energized to vote for President Obama yesterday.

This election could be a script from a movie, therefore, I am starting to believe it was designed as such.

I think it is far more likely that a plan has been in the works to corrupt this cycle since 2010.

Multiple blue states voted for every Democrat in statewide races by a similar count as what President Obama gained in that state.

States that typically split their statewide vote went 100% Democrat for every statewide race. That can only come from straight party-line voting.

If you wanted to demoralize your opponents, and had the ability, you would arrange the votes in a few safe districts within a few states to overwhelm the other party’s safe districts, regardless of turnout.

Then, you would ensure the exit polling contradicted everything your opponents believe, everything they expect and everything they support.

At that point, your opponents would turn on each other, re-think their beliefs and dissolve into irrelevance.

Who would have thought that four years ago, the United States would elect a man who served only 40 months in the US Senate to the White House? Who would have thought his background, his history and his performance would be protected, minimized or dismissed over the course his first term?

If an evil alliance of socialists and islamists really exist in our world, could they have engineered such events?

Food for thought. Perhaps there is a better way to fool proof the system.

51% of us have abandoned American values because they have been trained by our educational system and our media to process the world through emotional, not intellect. They simply respond to masterful manipulation of their impulses much as any herd does. Witness the transformation of Israel from David to Goliath in the eyes of the world in 5 short decades. Those of us who don’t subscribe to the leftist world view are deluding themselves if they think there is any chance of reversing the process in the next 50 years. The die is cast and the world of liberty lovers is dying.

The new message on my phone: “If you voted for Romney, leave a message. If you voted for Obama, drop dead.”

Love it.

“I am sorry if I offended you or anyone else.” Will you stop with the social obligation apologies? That’t half the reason libtards run the world now. We’ve been brainwashed into apologizing everytime we offend anyone. Get some balls and stop apologizing.

Glad I’m not the only one...and I know that we are not alone. This truly has been one heck of a depressing day. I’m in a funk. I know that I need to “keep my chin up”, square my shoulders, and march forward (not OB’s forward, mind you)...but right now - it’s so difficult.

Where are the Ohio "Sunshine Boys" who claimed Ohio was a lock?

They got some xplainin' to do!

I was told I didn't know what I was talking about. I tired telling them that in my county alone Republicans went from an over 80% majority to under 60% (not to mention the losses of Repub voters in the surrounding counties.) But no they knew what was going on and Ohio wasn't Staying Blue.

I am not that bright but predicted this day back when Romney was beginning to look like he might win the primary. I knew he couldn't win the election and stated such right here on FR many times and was shouted down for my troubles.

Don't sweat it, being right aint that great.
