Thus, when Romney essentially proclaimed that the 47% of Americans who receive government assistance were a lost cause, the statement confirmed, to the others, the narrative that he does not care for people.

Romney lost because.... HE WAS ASHAMED OF BEING SUCCESSFUL..
Romney was brain washed into being ashamed.. so he LOST..
UNLESS he didn’t believe he was successful and was complicit in the lie..

He was not proud of living the american dream.. proud Capitialist..
He lost because he was CONFUSED.. most people noticed..
He was coy about being a powerful capitalist.. so he LOST..

He didn’t know whether he was a democrat or a republican.. so he LOST..
much like George Bush, Juan McLaim or Lindsey Graham..
People have had it with these guys..

Even democrats don’t want confused democrats they want actual democrats..
Republicans have MANY confused democrats as republican officials.. its not RARE..
Some republicans are even starting to ADMIT IT...

The third party could become a happening thing..
Because the republican party is totally FUBAR..

At the first of 0bama’s SOU addresses, MO waved and smiled and I saw her persona: a real *itch, fake, phoney and all about herself.

0bama has shown a true desire for revenge. Rove pegged the guy years ago in saying that 0bama’s the guy at a cocktail party, in the corner, making crass and snide comments quietly about others in the room. The look that man can get in his eyes, and the snide remarks, tell you all you need to know.

We are given a persona of these two people that could not be farther from the truth.

Many voters bought into this early portrayal of Romney as one who does not care for people.

Here is demonstrated a key and growing advantage of a Democrat incumbent candidate. Federal election law forbids a candidate who is in a contested election primary from spending segregated general election funds until after his party's convention. This meant that while Obama could spend freely and position advantageous campaign spots throughout the summer, Romney had to wait until September.

Add to this that only the direct campaign ads qualify for the lowest cost ad rates, none of the 'super PACs' could equal that ad buy. Add to this the undeniable liberal media bias and you end up with a legally entrenched DEMOCRAT Advantage. Note: This is why it is an inherit DEMOCRAT advantage, when the incumbent is Republican, the liberal media is in active media attack mode during this time frame.

This is a law that has no business being on the books, it promotes a tilted playing field.

How about it, President Obama, do you think that this is (your favorite word) FAIR?

Actually, when the objective is to get out the Republican voters so you can win, a candidate would be exceptionally dull witted to anger any of them.

Remember, Democrats when given the choice between a false Democrat and a real Democrat chose the real Democrat every time! Which is why you can't play namby-pamby mealy-mouthed tom fool and get Republicans to show up and Democrats not!

I do not care for the leeches in America either. And I will not pretend to. Romney lost because the leeches understand that they now have a coalition that enables them to vote themselves more of other peoples money. The really bad news is that this is self perpetuating and unless their coalition partners fear for their lives this is unlikely to change

I believe that there is a mountain of reasons why we lost. I also believe there is one reason above all others.... THE MSM.

I don’t believe we will ever win an election until or unless we are able to disarm our country’s worst and most destructive enemy, our own media.

I don’t believe that even Ronald Reagan, the greatest president in my lifetime, could have won against todays media.

The election was decided by fraud.

Other issues being discussed kept the race close enough so it could be stolen, but the factor that put Obama back in the White House is plain old vote fraud.

What if we told you that the election was decided by a phrase?

"Where's my FREE crap?"

Yep. Yet we already saw he lost his 1994 Senate race badly because of the Bain baggage. And he lost the South Carolina primary badly after Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich brought up the Bain baggage in their campaigns. Yet the entire Republican and conservative establishment circled the wagons around him and bashed Perry and Gingrich for even daring to bring up Romney’s business dealings and do what they’re supposed to do in a primary, dig up all of the other candidates’ weaknesses.

The Republican party can’t win elections if they insist on being the stupid party. And it’s stupid to ignore clear, obvious, demonstrated flaws that anyone with any political sense whatsoever should know would be used as an effective weapon by the Democrats. It’s even more pathetic that the main argument used to bolster Romney in the primary was that he was “electable,” when the very copious and unique Bain baggage clearly showed otherwise. Anyone who pushed Romney needs to be branded as useful idiots and ignored from now on, including Coulter and Drudge.

Voter FRAUD.

On a nationwide scale.

All the other armchair analyses, backward glances, and recriminations aside

Maybe he should’ve said “You didn’t build that”. Oh wait.. Romney’s not a black Marxist Muslim gay illegal alien celebrity and doesn’t own the news media.

There was a very quiet, under the radar “image” campaign that I was a little concerned about...

Obama with babies

These photos were making the rounds...discount their impact if you want...I don't.

“Cares about people”. What does that even mean? That’s too easy of an answer. It’s an indicator, a hint, but it’s not a definitive answer. We need to talk to the 81% that came up with this for Obama. My Grandma cares about people, but she can’t do much to help them. Would the Democrats vote for her?

I absolutely believe this. So many times during this election I heard, "But Obama cares!!!" In the first place, he doesn't care. And in the second place, what if he did give the impression of caring? Do we want a President who can say "I care," or one who DOES something? I am thoroughly disgusted with my fellow Americans for voting for someone just because they think "he cares."

When Dennis Miller was on the Tonight Show, he got into an argument with Jay Leno about this very thing. Leno was saying, "But Obama cares!!" and Miller slammed him for it rather nicely.

Horse manure.
Romney needed to take that (accurate) “47%” comment and run with it. The Democrat party base is a pack of moochers who want their scumbag Democrat politicians to confiscate more and more... from their neighbors... and hand the loot over to them, the moochers, in exchange for their votes. This is fact. It has nothing to do with “caring” for people except to people who equate “caring” with “free stuff”. ...And that would be the moochers.

‘cares about you’ is a good choice. Another ‘corporations are people’ makes the same point. But in the end it was the primaries that defined him as unwanted, even by Republicans.
