Obama was elected because many of you myopic posters followed throgh to a promise not to vote for what you perceived to be a RINO.
Fools.
Pleased with what you got in return for sitting at home?
Not me. I held my nose and voted for McCain.
“through”
Bad Day?
I wonder how many did stay home? If you didn’t vote for McCain, say so! I know lots of people THREATENED not to vote, or to write in or vote 3rd party.
Myself I proudly voted for McCain.
Hey troll, life looking good under that bridge of yours?
You seem to be upset, is everyone riding you?
Um.... no. If anything FR helped propel more conservatives to vote so it wasn’t a white wash.
And in which state would it have mattered?
I voted for the chick.
I voted for Palin and the old dude.
BTW - I voted FOR Sarah Palin. McCain came along for the ride.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

I voted for Sarah and McCain happened to be on the ticket!
Last Racehorse I bet on was SOOOOO good, it took 8 other horses to beat ‘em.
Wait. Are you saying that McCain is not a RINO?
I think your bitter little rantity here needs embellishment.
Well, McCain wasn’t exactly the strongest candidate was he?
None the less I don’t think we could have won that one. The upside is that obama is the best thing that ever happened to the pubbies. Now it’s out in the open for even the slow people to see. They’re just a bunch of socialists.
I, like many here, voted for Palin... and McRino by default.
And for your information your RINO-boy McLame would have lost by another 20 million votes had Palin not been on the ballot! She saved his ass from an even bigger embarrassment!
I voted for Palin and that guy who she ran with
Ditto, altho I still wonder what kind of economic mess McCain would have us in...at least he isn’t a socialist!
McCain lost by something like 9.5 million votes. Even if everyone at FreeRepublic sat on their votes, it still wouldn’t have been enough to cause McCain to lose. I agree those who didn’t vote weren’t considering the big picture or how bad it could be under Obama and were cutting off their nose to spite their faces—as well as failing to vote in Congressional and Senate races in 08 that could have elected Republicans and prevented a healthcare bill from passing, but that wasn’t Free Republic’s fault.
IBTMB
In Before The “My Bad!”
I voted for SARAH PALIN...! (and that other old RINO dude.)
It wouldn’t have mattered if everyone voted for McCain. The fix was in.
You need to be angry at the people that forced McCain and Obama on the voters.
I voted for McCain. Didn’t want to do it. Not proud of it. But McCain, bad as he is, is a patriot, and you know where he stands.
Given the vote difference between the candidates, I find that hard to believe. I would imagine that a lot of “moderate” Republicans got swept up and voted for 0. And you can’t discount ACORN and their band of “voters”.
There is something to be said for liberal fascism to be on display as it is now for all the world to see. He and the 111th Congress need to be removed now that the lesson has been learned before they implement any more hurtful policies. They sure did a lot of damage in a very short time.
The Republican Party and Democratic Party have the same masters. Everyone wants to play tug of rope when it is a no win situation.
People here act like Bush was not a war criminal, so how do you relate to the delusional. The whole system is rotten to the core and is run by criminals and for criminals.
Not really. Obama was elected because white, middle-class swing voters (the types who likely never spend time on political forums) went for Obama. Time and time again it has been shown that whoever is successful at courting this demographic will win the election.
And, FWIW, I voted for McCain.

All nine million freepers sat at home. If they would have all voted for McCain he would have still lost the popular vote and likely the electoral vote too.< /sarcasm on number of freepers>
I voted and I voted for Sarah Palin and the near death RINO.
I have been screaming this at the top of my lungs for years now..........I call them the “ I’m taking my toys and going home” republicans.....always remember, the libtard votes in every election, regardless of the candidate
I think you’d be surprised as to how many at FR voted for Juan McAmnesty. Had he not picked Palin, things might have been different. If he had picked Lieberman, I absolutely would not have voted for him. Once he did pick Palin, a lot of freepers, including yours truly, held their noses and voted for McQueeg.
Act like?
Perhaps that's because he was not a "war criminal."
How else should FReepers "act?"
I voted Palin/McCain
ibtgf.
So in your worldview, you should always vote Republican, whatever the party does, however odious it is?
I did not proudly vote but I voted for the idiot in the same way I voted for Bob Dole.
But I only voted once.:-)
Not me. I held my nose and voted for McCain.
So did I!....Any idiot who could stay home and let a damn socialist whack nut take over America was a traitor!
I voted for Sarah Palin.
World Weary, here less than three weeks calling Racehorse, here over four years a troll. That’s what FR has come to.
Amen! They all lie, cheat and steal.
Throw all the bums out!!
Anyway I voted for Palin.
Tough talk for guy that’s been here three weeks.
I voted for Sarah Palin, but blaming the voter for a crappy (John McCain) candidate’s loss - is like blaming a woman for getting raped (i.e. she had it coming to her).
The Tea Party Revolution is all about fed-up voters tired of voting for the same-old-same-old. Those days are over, it’s a new age now.
That “Bush was a war criminal remark” pissed me off too.
Even the most liberal wack-offs are not making that claim.
‘Splain yourself.
I held my nose for McCain and voted for Palin. And neither were elected. If not for Palin coming on, I was prepared to vote for Bob Barr. I stand on principle more than compromising idiots who tow the party line regardless of how low it goes.
Sometimes the GOP needs to be slapped around and woke up to the reality that we will no longer tolerate RINO’s.
And allow people to see the results of their RINO’s capitulation by enabling the DemoRat agenda.
Now people can actually smell the DemoRats dirty diapers and know a real change is coming. They got a whiff of what their plans are. But it takes more than the cover of cosmetic deodorant to get people motivated.
Freshen up your attitude.
