200 Satisfied Customers!™This is a somewhat speculative editorial, but it is based on inferences from the numbers in the two elections, as well as the now-known tendency of the Obama Administration to willfully engage in scandalous actions.

When looking at Obama and the Administration he leads, it is best to look at the big picture. What we can infer from the Administration's hidden actions is evident most clearly their public actions.
What we see can best be described as "Scandalpalooza", a seeming rock-concert of nonstop scandals. Witness:
This is only a small number of the many burgeoning scandals being committed by these people.
So what are we to conclude, with all the scandals we can see? Like an iceberg, what is visible is only a fraction of the hazard. Like an iceberg, it is what is hidden that kills.
I shall quiz you, dear reader: What was the single most surprising event of 2012, politically? You will probably answer, "Obama's re-election." And you would be wise for selecting this event. Most of America -- Obama included -- was surprised that fateful November 5th, 2012, If you recall, the crowds for Obama's events were sparsely attended, whereas Mitt Romney's events were overflowing. While polls had Obama leading, most of us discounted them due to the perceived (and probably very real) enthusiasm gap that favored Republicans. Even Obama was acting like a man already beaten. his demeanor was hang-dog and depressed in the weeks leading up to the election.
And then the election day happened, and Obama was swept into office, his numbers signalling a very solid victory. While it was short of the "mandate" pundits like to discuss, it was solid.
However, look at the numbers in the Republican voter turnout. They went from 59,948,323 voters in 2008 to 59,134,475 in 2012. While on paper this only looks like a 813,848 shortfall, the fact there was ANY decrease in a growing nation with an energized Republican base is extremely suspicious. One can imagine that the number of votes missing to be more in the order of several million.
No one can convince me that the 2012 Republican turnout count in any way reflected real life. Republicans have never EVER been so energized to get rid of a Democrat president. They may not have been enthusiastic about their candidate, Mitt Romney -- I know I wasn't -- but the desire to rid ourselves of a man who seems to favor Islam at every turn, who has strong socialist tendencies, and took every decision that he could that would harm America, was very strong. No one will ever convince me that the Republican turnout in 2012 was less than the turnout in 2008. It defies all logic.
So what happened? Perhaps this is part of the Obama-iceberg we cannot see at present. It is at least worthy of conjecture, that many Republican votes were 'disappeared' en route to the final tallying location. With electronic voting, such a trick would be child's play.
And even if this is true, this is not the only factor: Obama ran a better 'ground game' in the crucial states, using his vast databases to tap first-time and infrequent voters. Too, we had the IRS suppressing 501-c Political Action Committees. We had, of course, the typical Democrat urban-based voter fraud, whereinwhich people who do not show at the polls still somehow manage to vote, and always for the Democrat.
Nonetheless, the most troubling aspect of the election is the disappearing Republican votes. This, if I am correct, would be the equivalent of a neutron bomb in the Scandalanche we are seeing. This would be the most nefarious and diabolical of all the scandals swirling around the Obama administration.
That is because it would affect elections in the future, most importantly, the midterm election of 2014, in which Obama will be either enabled, or politically castrated.
This is the possible scandal I wish to see most investigated. This is the last deal-breaker in the American Contract. This one must be uncovered.
It won't be uncovered by the complicit media, and the Republicans don't appear to have the will to do anything about it, so...
Make that 201, oh Warped one!!!!!
The answer is simple:
The Conservative base no-showed and the Low Information Voter® crowd did show.
Don’t be a Debbie Downer. ;)
I cannot agree. The conservative base hated Romney, but Obama was so utterly anti-American in thought and deed, that lots of us showed anyways. I know I did.
Not only that, but why were there entire precincts that went for Obama with not a single Romney vote? Not ONE? And why were there precincts that reported 105% votes counted of the total number of voters? And as long as we’re on “why” questions, why didn’t Romney refuse to concede until this was resolved ... and WHY didn’t the GOP loudly demand an investigation? (Never mind the last question ... /rhetorical)
Do I have to threaten you or anything to get on your ping list?
It is not a ‘yelling at cloud’ moment, dear sir... it is much more a ‘warning of storms to hit’, in 2014.
I’m more pessimistic than you...but 100% on your side.
I vote for politically castrated.
Heck Barak, it beats being hanged for treason right?
You are on it, twice actually. You complained another time so I added you again (without doing Democrat voter fraud and inflating my Customer Count)... XD
LOL.. be careful...
Oh. Well. Alrighty, then.
“I shall quiz you, dear reader: What was the single most surprising event of 2012, politically?”
Answer: Millions of Republicans and conservatives who spent their lives opposing lesser evils of the kind the GOP is famous for, suddenly going 180 and embracing them.
We see the result of that mistake in the current willingness of the GOP to go even FURTHER left and embrace GREATER evils.
Hey, they sold people on the lesser. Why not believe they would buy the greater? After all, Dems are worse right?
I think I was waitlisted when I asked to be on your ping list a while back.
Can you let me know when the slot opens up?
Thanks
A lot if Senate and House Democrats who were expected to get wiped out also won re election
Homeskillet could eat two live puppies on National TV
while cooking up some rock and beating live cracker babies.
The “polls” would barely flex a muscle.
The only question I have now is, did the GOPe know what was going on and allow it to happen, because deep down inside the power elite are down with the whole Statist thing.
I'm tired of writing their constant failure off to stupidity.
You also have humblegunner listed twice. I accuse of ping fraud!
DANCING TROLLFACE! I love Dancing Trollface.
Hey, add me to the ping list, too. Really make those NSA guys scratch their heads! ;-)
Yours is a spectacular insight, and likely correct.
Ok. I will add myself to the ping list. LOL
The election was anticipated to be a squeeker, and it was STOLEN.
And they’re relying on our Good Sportmanship to get away with it.
“They value keeping up appearances, and they’ll SUCK IT UP —steal it...”
You’re right about the vote numbers. I defy any freeper
to come on and state that when they got in the voting
booth they could not bring themselves to vote for
Romney over Obama.
That election was too crucial to conservatives to turn
their back on all they profess to believe in and not vote.
Too many hinky things about it.
But, now we MUST work toward 2014!
If we lose it, we lose EVERYTHING.
One can only imagine with horror Obama
with a majority, even for only two years!!!
We were lucky to begin with, he was slow
off the mark but they have learned since then.
Good post.
t.
That looks like the Oatmeal.
Please ping me anytime you have an axe to grind.
Democrats make their money by controlling the government. Would they cheat to win elections? Of course. In order to cheat and win national elections requires a HUGE number of accomplices. We just have to shame a few of them to come forward. But Democrats have no shame. Well, maybe we can outbid the Democrats. Maybe money can open some mouths.
>>Nonetheless, the most troubling aspect of the election is the disappearing Republican votes. <<
I see the losses due to 2 things:
1) Bush’s complete inability to defend himself. An attack unaddressed is taken as true. From Iraq being an “unnecessary war” to his reaction to Katrina (which was a lot more quick and effective than the reaction to Sandy), he took the “high road” and let the MSM write the narrative, which led to the meme that Republicans don’t like minorities. That was the difference in 2008 and to some extent 2012.
2) You are right about disappearing Republican votes in 2012 — but although some were the result of criminal acts of fraud by the left and their MSM cohorts.
But the LARGER number of disappearing R votes was the worm-eaters who decided that it was better to have an extreme leftist dictator (which is what we got), than someone who was squishy in the middle and could not pass the “are you Conservative enough?” test. If Romney ONLY killed obozocare we would be 10000% times better off. It will take GENERATIONS to kill it now that it has drawn breath. The ONE time we should have supported abortion: for that bill, and we blew it.
Out of pique.
A lot of freepers, including jimrob, said they would not vote for Romney. I don’t know if they didn’t vote for president, or voted for a lesser party.
I do believe there was fraud. But if someone uncovers it, how long will he live to tell?
Why? Because the fix was in from the start. My grandmother could have done a better job campaigning then Romney did and she’s dead.If Christie is our candidate in ‘16 it’s over. Conservatism is dead as will be the Republican Party and America.
lol
Thanks for putting into words what’s been swirling around my fertile brain since November
This regime had to rig the election it was their only hope
I smelled a rat when BHO won due to the looooong lines of people waiting to vote. Much bigger turn out than 2008 yet the numbers don’t support what I saw with my own two eyes.
I think we are seeing exactly what 0bama meant when he told Medvedev he would have mor flexibility after the election He knew the fix was in, and since he didn’t have to run for office again, it was time for the all-out assault on our liberties. All of this is designed to destroy political opposition and usher in the perpetual one party state. It’s what all good communists do.
He no longer recognizes any restraints.
Troll face?
your graphic is hysterical
It is.
