Numbers have a way of proving themselves, or not!
Why should the democrats run scared?
They can always steal votes during the next election and get away with it as they have in the past.
Romney had a great resume, but he just couldn’t connect with the average guy/gal. To win national elections, you need snappy slogans and play to the low information voter. Style over substance.
Face it, if Obama were white, he would never be president. He would be John Kerry.
Because he is Obama and they cheated. Sick
Its called voter fraud..why do you think Dems are SO against voter ID..because voter fraud is how Dems win elections..when you have people bragging about voting for Obama 20+ times, that is where a Voter ID would help stop things like that, but Dems are against it, because if you have a truly legit election, Dems will lose..also, another reason why Obama’s numbers are down is because his base is finally seeing Commiecare for what it is..once they see that they are the ones that have to pay for it and not the “Mean mean” rich people, they get screwed, Commies only love things when they dont have to pay for it themselves
That’s easy. you run out of “walk around money” after 11 months?
You do realize that voter turnout for the Romney presidential ticket was higher than it was when McCain/Palin were on the ticket right?
Per the FEC:
in 2012 Obama got 65,915,796 votes, Romney got 60,933,500
In 2008 Obama got 69,498,516 votes, McCain got 59,948,323
“I think this past election was cooked. The truth is in the numbers!”
____________________________________________
While I am sure there was plenty of fraud, the blame still goes to the stupidity of the American public.
Look at Rasmussen. Obumbo’s numbers were as good early this year as they were in 09. The public is lazy. They watch and read only the Marxist media, if any at all. As long as they have a job and comedy TV, they could not care less about the state of the nation.
50% still approve, while only 49% disapprove, and this is while the state of nation is about as low as I can ever recall, and it gets worse by the day.
You realize winning trumps vote counts, right? What part of Cruz wins do you not understand.
When the voters that voted for you because they thought their health care was going to be free, but then they find out it will cost each person $600.00/month, with $5,000.00 annual deductible and $6,500 annual out-of-pocket and if they don’t like that there will be a stiff fine?
Despite Cruz, Romney lost
A certain natural talent and years of practice.
The reality is that Romney/Ryan budget plan was only 1% better than the Clown. When you argue over peanuts, no one listens. Romney lost because he never fought back.
It did not take me this long to figure it out. My point is, there is truth in the numbers. Time has a way of proving false information.
BINGO!
For reference - the GW Bush standard:
http://www.gallup.com/poll/106426/Bush-Job-Approval-28-Lowest-Administration.aspx
Year 6 averaged 37%.
Romney’s crowning moment as GOP candidate was at that very first debate. I was thrilled. It was probably too little too late. The fire of wanting to right this wrong was not maintained or echoed a great deal by either candidate. Ryan was way too polite and let Joe dominate by doing what he does best; throwing personal attacks and parroting stereotypic beliefs of the DIMS. There was rampant cheating, but it should not have even been close. Too many on our side had already given up the fight based on media popularity. Next time, I will volunteer my time to spread the word in some significant way, vs just criticizing the results.
Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the last Presidential election:
Number of States won by…Obama:19; Romney:29
Square miles of land won by…Obama:580,000; Romney:2,427,000
Population of counties won by…Obama:127 million; Romney:143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by…Obama:13.2; Romney:2.1
Professor Olson adds:
"In aggregate, the map of the territory Romney won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.”
“Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of the Scottish Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty-percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.
I also have noted that outside the presidential elections, democRATS have been getting their a**es handed to them in every other election since 2008.
