Key conservative blocs sat out on principle and helped hand the Socialists a victory

I don't see the remotest scrap of evidence that this is true.

It's not a very effective means of argumentation to simply invent non-existent data that you wish to be true to support an argument.

Doing so is just repeating the "Unskewed Polls" fiasco all over again.

Dole - rino - Loser
McCain - rino - Loser
Romney - rino - Loser

What does this tell you dumbass?

Conservatives sat out!

“I don’t see the remotest scrap of evidence that this is true.”

2008 McCain total votes: 59,948,240

2012 Romney total votes: 57,821,399 (>99% precincts reporting)

Are there via “natural attrition” or some other demographic change over the past 4 years 2.1 million fewer conservatives? Or, did many conservatives who voted for McCain switch to the Marxist? I don’t think so. For whatever reason, many people (more than 2 million!) who voted for McCain did not vote for Romney. Most confusing: Rasmussen just this week described self-identified Republicans outnumber Democrats by 6 percentage points. Poor conservative turnout has to be included in the list of many reasons for Romney’s loss.
