BUYER’S REMORSE: 71% of Democrats Regret Voting for His Reelection

Tools.

One year into his second term and already 71% of DEMOCRATS regret voting for this Keynesian wreck.

Washington Examiner reported:

Over seven in 10 Obama voters, and 55 percent of Democrats, regret voting for President Obama’s reelection in 2012, according to a new Economist/YouGov.com poll.

Conducted to test the media hype about a comeback by 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, the new poll found voters still uninspired by Romney, but also deeply dissatisfied with Obama who has so far failed to capitalize on his victory over 15 months ago.

The poll asked those who voted for Obama’s reelection a simple question: “Do you regret voting for Barack Obama?”

— Overall, 71 percent said yes, 26 percent no.

— 80 percent of whites said yes, 61 percent of blacks said no and 100 percent of Hispanics said yes.

— 84 percent of women said yes, and just 61 percent of men agreed.

— 55 percent of Democrats said yes, as did 71 percent of independents.

As far as the polls go, I think he gets 30% just for being listed.

“So in other words, of the 21% of the Obama voters who would not vote for him again, 71% of THOSE regret voting for him last time. BIG difference. “

Thank you so much for doing the homework there. My experience with liberals is they will vote that way even if the candidate is promising to castrate them. (So long as somebody else is paying for it.)

“!I do not approve of the statements you made related to how certain groups “breeding like rabbits” would seal that fat1e1.

I will maybe soothe your thoughts by saying that I do not suggest literacy test. Anyone that is truly an American citizen has a voice and a vote, even if they are wrong.

I would imagine that it is because he is too conservative for the leftist wackos. They are pissed that he didn’t fight for single payer and various other things. They want him more to the left. They think he is a moderate at best. These people are incredibly stupid.

But those same dingbats will vote for any candidate with D that will continue obamas policies-—mainly the “I have a pen and phone” policy that he has now set a precedent for.

Valerie Jarrett knew what she was doing when she had Obama delay implementation of CommieCare until after the 2012 election.

We knew newt would’ve been better, ditto Santorum, and anyone else up there but Romney destroyed all of them in every way he could using enormous stashes of cash, blitzing the airwaves in necessary regions

We knew he would get up there and treat Obama much differently We knew he would either throw it, out of cowardice, or through following some larger plan, but we knew he would not have been much better, running the country like a corporation he either wanted to fail or not depending on what ever whim he and his handlers chose

At the end of this article, the voters stil say they would’ve chosen not to vote for mitt by 79%.

Nothing’s changed

The real story would be to ask conservatives who didnt vote Romney. I’ll bet they don’t regret it The tell that thick headed rove

Let him know they don’t and that they’ll have a lot of company after watching Ryan screw with our war veterans

100 percent of Hispanics said yes

100%, huh? That has the taint of "bogus" written all over it... but setting that aside, Hispanics, like other "remorseful buyers" wanted more delivered to them than they got. They wanted full amnesty, citizenship and voting rights to be in place for their border-jumping brethren by now.

This is about voters' annoyance with not getting what they demanded in 2008 and 2012, not a rightward ideological shift. Keep in mind, by that same poll, 79% said they'd still vote for Obama over Romney (who garners 10%).

Mitt was a very good governor, trust me. We had 12 straight years of Republican incompetents in this bluest of blue states, Romney was an exception. A fine man, a good administrator. He’s not Ted Cruz or Ronald Reagan, but he stands head and shoulders above other politicians. And his heart is on the side of America and working people.

So what? We are stuck with their asinine choice for three more years. They ought to be barred from voting in the next election because chances are excellent they’ll be voting for Hillary, a smarter Marxist than the current one.

More lies from the followers of the Liar-in-Chief. If they were really sorry, these traitors would stop stealing oxygen.

The results beg the question: Where have the 29% that voted “No” or “Not sure” been the last 135 years - Oh, that’s right, it’s only been 5 years (seems like a lot longer).

So they thought we didn’t think they were stupid enough in 2008, so they voted for him again in 2012 to prove it to the nation again. What a bunch of dumbasses.
