I like this site, but it is not representative of the United States electorate. In fact, I would say that there are more conservative users than there were when I first started looking at this site a few years ago. So what goes on at this site is far from what goes on in mainstream America. Also, I think many Obama voters just don't have the time or resources to attend campaign rallies. I also think a lot of people voted for him because he was the lesser of two evils. I think if Romney hadn't tried to appease the far right so much he might have won. Then again he might not have been the GOP nominee. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 2271438 11/07/2012 01:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Obama was drawing hardly ANY crowds. We saw it with our own eyes. None of it makes sense. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20926074 You don't get it. He ran a modern, virtual, futuristic, electronic, social media campaign just like he did last time. Physical presence doesn't count. It's all virtual. During Hurricane Sandy I know people who got a personal message from Obama on their iPhones and Androids saying something like "Hi Cynthia, this is Barack Obama and I hope you are safe and sound during this hurricane. Here is some important information you will need in the coming days, etc. etc.". He did this on a massive scale and it worked. |

Convergence will be accompanied by blood baths and political re-education camps in Western Europe and the United States. The Soviet strategists are counting on an economic depression in the United States and intend to introduce their reformed model of socialism with a human face as an alternative to the American system during the depression."--Anatoliy Golitsyn The Perestroika Deception 1990 “Soviet ambitions towards the United States were aimed at the extinction of Capitalism and the ‘socialization’ of America…. The main strategic goals on the road to their fulfillment were: the withdrawal of the U.S.A. from Europe and Asia; the removal of Latin America from the United States’ sphere of influence and its incorporation into the Socialist bloc; the destruction of the United States influence in the developing world; the reduction of American military power to a state of strategic inferiority; the advent to power in Washington of a transitional and progressive government; and the collapse of the American economy.” --Jan Sejna, 1969.

I was reading time and time again that Romney was typically doubling the number of people at events. The economy is in a tough place - thanks to Bush. It's mending, slowly... Romney was not a good candidate. The Republican needs to think deeply about the future and how to be relevant again. The fact that Romney refused to release his tax records, a tradition his own father started, should have been enough of a message for most people that he was a bad candidate. Romney DID release his tax records! Something like 15 years of them! And most of us do read many sources. I don't know a single person with a sole source of information. At least Romney had a little class unlike these liberal thugs. I can't stand to hear Obama's voice any more knowing how he hates this country and will do everything in his power to destroy it. Radical Progressives finally have the power they have wanted for forty years. One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one.

Romney earned his own money and donated all he inherited to charity. The 47% Romney spoke of, he did not say he didn't care about them but that they will not vote for him no matter what and looks as though he was totally right. These welfare recipients are not going to vote for anything except more for themselves from the public coffers. Unfortunately, this segment of the population has become the majority and they can now take and take and take until there is nothing left. Nothing to stop them now.
