Based on the crowds Romney and Ryan were drawing I was really surprised by the low turnout. The thing was fewer people voted in this election overall. Obama got 8 million fewer votes. Fortunately is wasn’t enough. I don’t think the country is a majority a gimme country but part of the problem was less about 10 million people who voted last time were disenfranchised
This is wrong. Everyone I knew was very fired up to vote for Romney. People need to wake up. The election was stolen. 9,000,000 less votes than in 2008 for obama yet he still won? Tommy Thompson lost in Wisconsin? The same amount of people vote for Romney in 2012 as they did for McCain in 2008? NO WAY! What happened yesterday was a bloodless cou d’tat. The dictatorship is now in place. They now control it all for all time.
They knew exactly which states they had to rig. One person can push one button on a voting machine and not only does Romney votes disappear, the vote count also goes decreases. Last night they’d say “Romney has to win this county”. Then he would lose that county. On a county level it’s easy to rig the vote. And this is why Rove and Morris and even Barone were all wrong. Actually, they were all right. They just didn’t allow for the shenanigans.
Finally look at the look on Romney’s face. He knew he had won and he was wondering what the heck just happened. A lot of people had that look on their faces.
Mitt Romney was anything but a heartless ‘let them eat cake’ rich guy who wanted to put people ‘back in chains’, but a fair amount of those who voted for Obama believed this about him. It was only after he had the opportunity to put his face out in front of the public in the first debate that he had the ability to get beyond what he had been painted. It was really the only shot he had.
In our current societal structure, with the media we have, those who oppose the liberal agenda can make no statements, no ‘mistakes’, no errors in speaking that can in any way be turned into a soundbite. Obama could have called Mrs. Romney a slut, and the media would have covered for him. Heck, they said worse about Sarah. But senate candidates on the left make a comment about rape and abortion and it's international news. Rush Limbaugh correctly points out that we shouldn't be paying for Fluke's promiscuity with public funds, and he is painted as an unfeeling right wing nut attacking a poor young woman who just wanted social justice.
I think, rather cynically, that the most effective strategy for neutralizing the left has to start with an examination of how best to pit their coalitions against each other. The groups that make up the left’s coalition are generally driven by selfish interests, not a global ideology for the common good. Find those areas in which the self-interests of groups within their coalition collide, and exploit them. This is divisive, cynical, and potentially destructive politics, which could lead to significant pain for some people - and thus does not appeal to most of us on this side. Unfortunately, when faced with the same consideration, those who drive the left’s agenda had no significant concern what they did to the cohesion of our nation.
Anyway, I truly am demoralized. But, that's what they wanted. That's what they call ‘social justice’.
