I post this because I want to hear from those conservatives who stayed home "to teach RINO Republicans a lesson."

Did you stay home? Are you still glad you did? Do you think RINOs learned a lesson?

I'm not being sarcastic, I just want to get a feel for how things happened.

I didn’t stay home but I wonder how much of that Democratic vote stayed home in their beds or their cemetery plots and voted by proxy.

[Boardwalk]

Talk to Ohio. Ohio conservatives stayed home.

I didn’t stay home and I did choke back my bile and vote for McCain. However there was no excitement in me that day, nor did there seem to be much in anyone else on the right.

I heard that 4 million Republicans stayed home. If they had all gone out and voted for McCain-Palin, like I did, Obamao would have still won by about 6 million votes.

“I just want to get a feel for how things happened. “

Obama, the media candidate won. That’s how ‘things’ happened.

I wanted to stay home but I didn’t. We all knew things would be very bad with O in office and I didn’t want the guilt.

I think you can safely say that the 2.6% increase in Democrat voters was thanks to ACORN. They managed to get their base out to vote. Why don’t we have an active group on our side to get the vote out, dead or alive?

Old news, Krusty.

4 million Republican votes left on the couch. About an equal number of new Democrat votes, and that's all she wrote, brother.

I voted for McCain to avoid electing Zero. But if we had elected McCain, we might be in worse shape as a party and almost as dismal a shape as a country. I think McCain has his own ties to Soros and were stronger than I thought. All in all, we may be better with Obama because he’s a symbol in the Democrat party we can rally against.

'08 turnout same as or only slightly higher than '04 (did Repubs stay home?)

Maybe they were frightened off.

When Christians stay home, democrats win. It’s just that simple.

[beckysueb]

I voted. I never miss a vote no matter how much nose holding I have to do. Our country is too important to give in to selfish tantrums.

I have voted in all elections for the last 20+ years, primaries included. I fully intend to allow the RINOs the full joy of their preferred electoral selection – Democrat (Commie) control of all of the Federal offices.

Since the RINOs selected the Maverick, why did they not show up and support him? Why were the RINOs not able to get those Blue Dog Liberals to vote for a RINO?

do the Repubs win if the 1.3 did tun out to vote ?
I don't think so.
Pres. Obama won because of Repubs voting for him.
