yes, in and out in under three minutes

If you read the results closely, the country actually veered less liberal in this election (go look at the chart on the front page of the NYTimes right now).

Overall though, it probably is more liberal because the nation is changing. Republicans in general have neglected young folks, women, blacks, latinos, etc...it's not only about white men.

What you are seeing now is the effects that George Bush had on the GOP. The GOP is creepy and really undesirable now. Bush has done such a great job tainting the name of the GOP, he has rendered it completely unable to win an election. His last term term literally destroyed the GOP. You are seeing the results of that on this election.

The sooner you delusional idiots wake up to that fact, the sooner you can win an election.

Man what a labyrinth of useless side trips.

'12 selection is the same as '04 selection of incumbent.
Pick lackluster posterboy to ensure the incumbent stays in.
I said this when romney was selected strawdog, same as kerry who made dems cry with boredom.

Memories are way too short, (sadly). Meaning this carrot stick game can go on four-score-and-seven and people are too f*cking stupid to SIMPLY PERCEIVE THE OBVIOUS PATTERN.

'16 is when we'll have Rethuggery in a sledgehammer. ELE or whichever comes first.

Have fun and get your novocaine.

Lot of people on the east coast didn't vote

in and out of polling station.. or was this a note to your wife? -p

I had no line just walked in. Much different from 2008.

The term liberal has no meaning these days. They're nothing more than faux liberals acting like commies or socialists. Nothing to do with personal freedom or so called classical liberalism.

And no, republicans have not neglected these people. Learn how to do a proper research on it.

you must have reading comprehension issues

Why am I not surprised nobody cares about patterns of how they're being played and what is really happening, instead would rather larry moe & curley each other from their little holes in the ground.

Instead of mommy/daddy vs glasnaght there is a middle ground called

A civilized society.

Treat people well, get some manners and see what happens.

How is it possible that every single swing state was either tied or well within margin of error on every single poll yet obama wins every single one?

That's pretty funny. Labeling people as socialists when you are living in a social democracy is even more funny. You are clearly making humor there, socialist.

I guess that's why they voted so overwhelmingly for Romney. Oh wait, they didn't...

It's not about what I'm saying right now though, the debate has already started about how clueless and out of touch the republican party has become.

I'll happily vote republican again (being a lifelong r) when they find some quality candidates - which seems to be very difficult lately.

I think you missed the point. the republican vote is supposedly the same as last time, but how is that possible when there was more (or less) voter turnout this year?

All of you :
::jerkit:

good point. if they were so close, you would think that actual voting results would be 50/50 obama/romney, and ALL obama is unusual.

like tossing a coin (50% chance) 8 times and it comes up tails every time.

same here. and that was around noon when most people are going to stop in over lunch to vote. last time I had to wait 45 minutes. (this is in a democratic area)

oh bullshit. everybody saw Romney as a totally different person than Bush, and Romney proved himself on the ball and very capable during the debates, where by all accounts he made Obama look like a fool.

I don't believe there were more people voting for Obama. I think the voting had to be rigged. I just don't believe that after Romney's performance in the debates he didn't get even one swing state.

Oh bull. That's a meme that dull minded, sheeple libs love to perpetuate. Listen to yourself. You sound like a talking point.

The fact is that there are many types of people in the Republican party who strive to accomplish great things in their lives. That is what America WAS all about.

These are people of all colors and all cultures, who are independent thinkers, want freedom from stifling gov't policies, and do not choose to live on the democratic plantation!

How sad you are. How racist and judgmental you are. If someone doesn't agree with your small minded, narrow view of the world, then they are insignificant, right?

I happen to LIKE white men. But they're only a small part of the Republican party.

Just keep yapping away while you take this country down with your ridiculous talking points. Oh, and make sure you get your hands on an Obama phone. Wouldn't want to miss his call when he hands out your free birth control.

i went at about 3pm in a heavily republican area

ok, so what are the differences between bush and romney? stop making excuses. your candidate lost, be a man and quit crying. if the right would be a little more open minded and realize that people are allowed to think a little differently then they do, they might actually win an election

I was wondering the same damn thing.

There are many of us who understand that he really DIDN'T lose. The election was obviously stolen. And so was this country. Welcome to your NWO. Enjoy the chains.

TREASON

The election was stolen, and it was a bipartisan hit.

Good luck with that:

- Same-sex marriage passed in three states
- Affirmation of same-sex marriage ban failed in one state
- Openly gay woman elected to Senate
- Explicitly socially conservative candidates losing all over (Akin, Mourdock, West, etc.)

I live in oregon where voting republican is a wasted vote, so don't tell me that my Gary Johnson vote gave obama the victory because it didn't.

there are many of you that are too narrow minded and conceited to see the that the republicans, had they run a real candidate, should have walked away with this election. instead they ran someone who was out of touch and could not relate with the majority of the country, someone with an elitist point of view who would only divide the country even further. it was a golden opportunity for the right to get back in the white house and they blew it. nobody to blame but themselves. you guys should keep claiming the election was stolen and continue to look like fools. it will only make it easier to keep the right out of office.

btw, i noticed how you deflected the question about how bush and romney are different. that was expected though

The voter mind: If your guy wins, it was a good win. If he loses, its election fraud lol.

Here is the problem with the Republican Party and don't forget it. Everyone wants to save money and be free. Republicans in office spend money just like the Democrats and preach freedom while wanting to stick a vaginal probe in your daughter. Got it yet patriots?
