Let’s face facts. Democrats gained in the House of Representatives, the Senate and the chief Democrat in charge was re-elected after one of the worst four year periods in American history, economically and constitutionally. How does that happen? Republicans/Conservatives gave voters credit for being smart while Democrats assumed they’re not. Let’s break down what Obama, Pelosi, Reid, the Obama SuperPACs, et al were saying for a year and a half: Republicans are prosecuting a war on women Romney only cares about his rich friends and Wall Street Romney is responsible for the death of a woman by somehow giving her cancer Romney specialized in closing down businesses, laying people off and outsourcing jobs — especially to China Romney is a liar. All he does is lie. And, after he lies, he lies about the lies he told. Republicans are trying to outlaw contraception Republicans are trying to close down Planned Parenthood to stop women from getting cancer screenings Republicans want to put all Latinos on buses and send them back to Mexico Republicans think rape is okay — and women should just stop talking about it Republicans all own stock in oil companies and are forcing gas prices up Republicans want to give rich people a tax break and make the poor and Middle Class to make up the difference Romney hates half the country (47%) Romney will end Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid Only problem with that list is, not one bit of it is true. Republicans/conservatives assumed everyone hearing this list of Democrat/liberal talking points would know it was completely false. They gave the American people credit for being smart enough to know better. Millions are and do — but, unfortunately, more millions aren’t and don’t.

One man-on-the-street subject (maybe Kimmel?) was questioning the people about the debate between Michelle Obama and Ann Romney. Oh, yeah; they all watched it. Of course, Michelle Obama won the debate. Some hilarious questions and bizarre answers. blah blah blah. People this stupid shouldn’t be within a mile of a polling place on Election Day.
“About the only republican that could win the presidency today is Dennis Miller.”
IIRC, he’s very liberal on social issues. But I can actually deal with that to some extent, as long as our basic Constitutional issues are protected. I’ve always believed that if we could re-gain our freedoms of speech, religion, firearms, etc., the country would correct itself in relatively short time.
that’s funny ... because I always assume most voters have about the same level of intelligence as the “Obama-phone” woman.
Oh please. The biggest bloc of voters was the Baby Boomers. Don’t spout this garbage. While I don’t doubt there is some naivety on the voter side and we believe in honesty ; we are not stupid.
The election was lost through voter fraud on both sides.
Never underestimate the stupidity of the American people.
So true. Big cities gave O his victory and many there vote to protect
Freebies and couldn’t describe debt, sequestration, why businesses
Must generate profits , even if you gave them the answers...
Proof: Wheres my Obama. Phone
It’s not entirely a black problem. It’s also a Puerto Rican problem and a Mexican problem and in some schools a white problem.
Definitely the schools. Watching man-on-the-street interviews before the election, it seemed that the most ignorant responders were college students. (And the men with pony tails.)
ee cummings called it mob-ocracy
the cities you mentioned except Miami are cities where the problem is the black population and their white collaborators
the student issue in those cities is at least 90% black in dropout rate
yes, in other towns you did not mention the issue is about Mexicans mostly..and some Central Americans
there is no comparative white school district anywhere..and those that do come close are in mixed communities like Madison here in the Nashville area
this is the new America
what you read about today in Brasil is our future here
and we are too stupid and weak to stop it..that is a safe bet
And you are against this process?
>> “Biggest mistake of the campaign? Republicans assumed voters were smart” <<
.
No, the worst mistake was assuming that the Dems and MSM weren’t crooked as Al Capone.
>> “The mistake we made was to assume that voters believed in...and desired...self sufficiency.” <<
.
It has to be understood that by definition, almost half of the Bell Curve graphs people that lack ‘normal’ intelligence. (and ‘normal’ ain’t necessarily enough to be truly self sufficient)
But even so, he blamed the results on low republican turnout. When I suggested that republican votes may have been suppressed due to massive nationwide fraud, he said:
“I can’t wrap my mind around that. The consequences are just too horrible to contemplate.”
The mindset of that Republican poll watcher aids and abets the evil perpetrated by evil people. (And that even includes the atrocities perpetrated by the likes of Hitler and Stalin.) Recall Edmond Burke's famous quote: "All that is necessary for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing." For crying out loud, a poll watcher is a person who is there to spot evil and to say something about it when he sees it! Did anyone check to see that those bus riders lived in the district they were voting in or may have voted before?
As for the police, they should be making arrests and charging the fraudsters with the crimes they committed, regardless of the color of their skin.
Until law enforcement, including elected prosecutors, takes these crimes seriously, the problem will continue to spiral out of control.
Seems as if Allen West is the only Republican official in the entire country who is brave enough to challenge this in any way, at least as of now.
The big fraud and cheating swing states mostly have GOP state administrations and GOP attorneys general. Will they please come out of hibernation and exercise their legitimate powers over their respective states' electoral processes to insure fairness and integrity? (If they're not up to the task themselves, maybe the National Guard will be.)
Her opponent was bankrolling the campaign out of petty cash. She was way outspent.
Couldn't have said it any better. If you study the history of organized crime in the US, you will find that the large majority of their political activity has been in co-ordination with the party of fraud and cheating, particularly in the big cities.
Fast forward to this year's election. What role if any traditional organized crime played I don't know, but we do know that SEIU, which is one of the big Obama-friendly unions, does have a long history of links to the mob.
Based on the history of 2008 election, in which reports of cheating and fraud were abundant but probably didn't occur to the degree that they determined the outcome of the presidential election, the national Republican campaign apparatus should have had a national electoral integrity program well thought out and in place for 2012, especially in view of the fact that the GOP held more vital state administrations and SOS positions in the swing states. But it seems as if they were ambushed at the pass again.
I think that Michelle was rolling in cash, do you have different numbers?
“Michele Bachmann has won a fourth term in Congress despite a serious challenge from Democrat Jim Graves. Bachmann spent nearly $20 million to fight Graves in the nation’s most expensive congressional race.”
“It was the nation’s most expensive House race in terms of both money raised and spent by the candidates as of mid October, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. The candidates had raised a total of $22.7 million and spent $20.8, the center reported, but Bachmann had outspent Graves by more than twelve-to-one.”
Where did I say that?
I understood the phrase as soon as I heard it, as did just about everybody. I've always thought it to be the best way to solve the enforcement problem. A fence only gets one chance to keep out an illegal, obviously. That's why "self-deportation" that actually happens is more frightening to an illegal than simply "deportation", which may sound scary but is a lot less likely.
One ironic fact is that, simply by restraining economic growth, Zero himself has accomplished a lot of self-deportation and self-non-immigration.
Nope, Just that Levin was raising cain over the fact that the GOPe did not in any way try to help her. He gave me the impression that a rich challenger spent tons of their own money.
I don't think that was an accurate claim, I think that it was the total opposite of what you claimed.
“Seems as if Allen West is the only Republican official in the entire country who is brave enough to challenge this in any way, at least as of now.
The big fraud and cheating swing states mostly have GOP state administrations and GOP attorneys general. Will they please come out of hibernation and exercise their legitimate powers over their respective states’ electoral processes to insure fairness and integrity? “
They’ll all be dealt with. Give it time.
