Obama won for many reasons. Just FYI, I'm a Ron Paul fan because he is fiscally and militarily conservative and socially liberal which fits my core values perfectly. The Democrats are socially(gay rights, abortions), economically (pro FED, auto bailouts), and militarily(Libya, Kosovo) liberal, so nope. The Republicans are socially conservative(gay bashing, drug war), but economically(pro FED, bank bailouts) and militarily(Iraq war crime) liberal, so nope. The republican party is no longer conservative in a fiscal or military sense so I voted Libertarian to end the fed and pointless wars of choice (in freaking Afghanistan no less, the anus of planet earth). I believe we all have the right to a marriage with whatever person we choose because we are all equal in the USA, and the drug war is so ridiculous no explanation is needed.

Tell me again which of the two candidates I should have voted for? Because neither is worthy of leading this country IMO. Republicans have gained "red meat" voters, but the party is so repugnant and stagnant that I refuse to vote for their extremist candidate. Contrary to Mitt Romney's opinion, the 47% does matter. Losing motivated, organized tech savvy former republicans to the Paul camp and then ignoring him hurt just as bad as Nader stealing votes for Gore on the democrat side in 2000. I hope all the racist, fear-mongering, fascist, homophobic, flag worshipering chickenhawks on this site have a long look in the mirror. If you look close enough, you can see the reason you lost.
