[ (A)-Barack Obama was reelected earlier this month by painting his Republican opponents as heartless in favoring lower taxes for the rich. ]

-OR-

(B)-by massive in your face voter fraud.. probably BOTH...

“B’ is for sure.. “A” maybe happened maybe not..

I especially want the obamacare exemptions done away with in their entirety. The people getting the exemptions were some of the most virulent supporters of this monstrosity. Let them feel the full weight of the policies they are forcing on the rest of us, including, even especially, Congress. It is particularly despicable and disgusting that those members of Congress who shoved this through without one thought of the Constitution, exempted themselves from it. We need to flood their offices with faxes, calls, and letters demanding that they live by the same rules they’ve subjected us to. They won’t of course, but I want them to know that their blatant hypocrisy doesn’t go unnoticed.

A good many could care less if has went to $12/g, because they don't pay for anything in their lives anyway, a good many don't own cars, and they get all kinds of vouchers etc for public transportation. It will hurt the working people in suburbia, but apparently many of them, especially in the Northeast, voted Obozo anyway, so let it bite them in the azz. The rest of us will just have make do as best we can while the destruction occurs. As ever, we are just the people to do just that.

If the current open season on whites doesn’t change their minds, I suspect they’re lost. They will be crying for forgiveness just before their throats are cut , after watching their daughters be gang-raped and their young male children doused with gasoline and set on fire. I hear of too many of the parents of white kids murdered by blacks nod their heads in agreement while the usual suspects all rush to the microphones to make sure we all know “race had nothing to do with it” even as the murderers shouted such things as “die white girl”.

Fine. I will be watching from behind my door with my family (all armed of course), and will laugh in their faces when the mob chases them to my door. They can die by the principles they tried to force us all to “live” by before things reached their natural conclusion.

Absolutely not. Republicans did this sort of thing during FDR's presidency and Dems ruled for decades. They screw things up and then blame Republicans. Truth and facts don't matter. Keep this in mind. If the R's are going to take the blame anyway might as well fight.

Dittos to that.

House Republicans should make an announcement that the voters have spoken, and they will allow Zero and the D'rats free reign, with firm notice that THEY (Zero and co.) are responsible for what happens next. No more "It's Bush's fault." Not after his first 4 years.

I wish they would make a major announcement/press conference to that respect.

BTW: Happy Thanksgiving, y'all. ^_^

Yeah, I'd start blaming them for the current situation too, since it's only the truth.

Obama was reelected....by massive in your face voter fraud..

It might be a comforting thought, but I haven't seen much evidence.

The Way Forward

Obama earned the downgrade. His final vote total will be 4 to 5 percent smaller than in 2008—marking the first time in American history a president has won his first bid for reelection with fewer voters and with fewer electoral votes than in his initial run. (By contrast, Mitt Romney’s final total surpassed that of his Republican predecessor in 2008.)

Democrats have edge, but presidency still in play (Michael Barone)

I'm talking about the fact that the large majority of states voted just a little bit more Democratic in 2012 than they did in 2004.

The Party’s Problem

Romney was not a drag on the Republican party. The Republican party was a drag on him. Aaron Blake pointed out in the Washington Post that Romney ran ahead of most of the Republican Senate candidates: He did better than Connie Mack in Florida, George Allen in Virginia, Tommy Thompson in Wisconsin, Denny Rehberg in Montana, Jeff Flake in Arizona, Pete Hoekstra in Michigan, Deb Fischer in Nebraska, Rick Berg in North Dakota, Josh Mandel in Ohio, and of course Todd Akin in Missouri and Richard Mourdock in Indiana. In some cases Romney did a lot better. (He also did slightly better than Ted Cruz in Texas, a race Blake for some reason ignored.)

Obama Lost in states with photo ID, Won in states withOUT photo id..
The lack of evidence in most cases is because OF NOT searching for any evidence..

However Obama may have basically won in some places BUT MASSIVELY WON because of fraud..
There could be a whole range of possibility’s..

I doubt republicans STAYED HOME.. but their votes were “converted” or “LOST”.. or other options..

Not only in the presidential elections but in the republican primarys as well.. could be in State and Local elections too..

The differences between 2010 elections and 2012 elections screams something fishy is going on..
Going on in ALL ELECTIONS...

What Zero’s corporate sponsors really want is taxes on small business pwners with their massive tax shelters, er, “charitable foundations” untouched.

I've never seen a more dispirited and demoralized article by VDH. If I were one of his friends I'd be worrying about him.

Obama has been Obama all along. He hates the United States and has never tried to hide that fact.

He has worked really hard to destroy one industry after another. He has declared war on the Catholic Church.

He has done everything possible to destroy foundation institutions.

He has employed racists and misogynists as czars and cabinet leaders.

He has precided over the Party of Death for years.

All this and more got him handily reelected.

Why would Obama not be Obama, and what can he possibly do being Obama that can help the United Staes in any way?

There seems to be a great deal of delusion among people who think Obama can do ANYTHING to turn away others who think what he has done is simply the best of all possible worlds.

The question is: How long before the collapse that the majority are so in favor of? Then, how long before the Republicans accept the blame for that collapse so Obama can be even more popular?
