How Could Romney Get Less Votes Than McCain?

Yup, GLP keeps telling me that

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THIS

Exactly. Should I choose my assraping with broken glass or with sandpaper.... Oh the decisions.

I think Romney was less popular than mccain.

When you hear hoofbeats, think horses,not zebras.

Because the republican party is the party for the rich.
I voted R for the fucking last time.

If these fuckers cared more about people and the earth instead of $$$$$$ then maybe regular people would vote for them.

I voted R because of prolife which is also bullshit.
They care more about an unborn baby than a school kid who lives near a superfund site.

Exactly! you either do a 360 degree turn around change for the better or keep going the same path. Romney wasn't any better than Obama...

Restaurant and other business owners are well aware their profit is in the "free advertising".

Security measure it may have been but done without thought and consideration as to how it may affect their hard working staff.
Typical move done by those in denial.

will you guys give it up!

how long oyu gonna persist on making pointless threads about the US election.

ITS DONE! OBAMA WON, no ammount of conspiracy theorising is gonna change nothing.

deal with it & move on.

lets make space for some interesting threads please

please.

Because he sucked that bad.

How Could Romney Get Less Votes Than McCain?

DUH? Voter fraud?

Everybody knew if it was close the commies
would "produce" enough votes.

What are you talking about? THere are threads with many other subjects on the front page and even pinned. So why do you click on the election ones and start telling people what to do?

Exactly!

How many votes you got?

How many do you need?


.

Stop being myopic and do some critical thinking.

2008 - Popular Vote
Obama - 69,456,897
McCain - 59,934,814 (46%)
Total - 129,391,711

2012 - Popular Vote
Obama - 61,683,851
Romney - 58,489,000 (48%)
Total - 120,172,851

2012 Voter Difference = -9,219,130
Over 9million fewer voters and a 2% increase over McCain.

The real question..
What was the REAL difference between the 2012 candidates?
Everything Obama campaigned on Romney had done in Massachusetts.

Yeah but there's so much cheating on both sides does it even matter?

I don't think Obama fone woman and her friends are sophisticated enough to effect the outcome of an election.

IMO Romney probably actually won.

There was a huge push to get O out of office and there is no way O won by that huge margin legitimately.

Areas with 100% turnout ?? and 100% for one opponent ?? does not happen.

Does not surprise me though. I said at least a year ago, it would not surprise me if Obama won re-election because he is not finished bankrupting America.

OP,if you only learn one thing from this thread, please learn the difference between "less" and "fewer".


In prescriptive grammar fewer is the prescribed comparative to be used in relation to grammatically plural, discretely quantifiable nouns, i.e., count nouns. The comparative less, it is argued, should be used when speaking of a grammatically singular noun (including mass nouns).

The prescriptivist distinction can be seen in this example: "There is less flour in this canister", but "There are fewer cups (grains, pounds, bags, etc.) of flour in this canister", as flour is a mass noun unless it is measured in a unit (in this case cups). However, in the case of singular but discretely quantifiable nouns as in "one less cup of flour in this canister", the adjective fewer should be used, the prescriptivists argue.

I would have loved to see Herman Cain as the Republican presidential candidate.. Just to watch all the racist rednecks' heads explode deciding who to vote for. "Do we vote for the black guy or the half black guy?"

yep, the only thing republicans have going for me are Gun Rights. They cave on immigration every time, and I don't really care passionately about outlawing abortion, and I detest going to fight wars for Israel along with the drug war.

The democrats are crap too, but they are slightly better smelling crap.

The republicans care about the rich, they don't really care about personal freedom, they are stuck in the past with their moral bullshit. They need a dose of libertarian fresh air and need to get off their moral high horse and let people live their lives. Also stop targeting tax breaks towards the very rich and gloating about it in public. People who make 10 million a year don't need lower taxes.

If I was in charge all loopholes, child credits, and other BS would be eliminated, but the first $10000 of everyone's income would be tax free on my 'graduated flat tax' scale. That way hard working people who earn a low wage still get rewarded, while welfare moms who pump out 5 kids do not, they already get enough from the courts.

the whole thing was rigged from the get go.....

all u can do is prepare for the worst. have a plan A, B, and C

Get over it.. The election was rigged.. Prepare to bow to your king.

Romney got less votes than McCain because Romney was not believable.

McCain was a war hero. He got captured, tortured, the whole nine yards. You knew he was screwed up in the head because of all that, but you still believed that he truly had the best interests of the nation at heart.

Romney is a rich man who is not believable as someone who actually has the best interests of the nation at heart. He is not really even believable as a human being. We knew that McCain was human, he suffered, he knew what suffering was, and in that we felt some kinship. Romney, not so much.

for what it's worth (again not that it matters) I think McCain would have beat obama, but not romney, he's just too obvious a corporate shill, didn't even try to hide it.

His daddy covered up the USS Liberty carnage and he was a fuckup from the word go. Rich boy that acted like Dr Strangelove. If he had been elected, WWIII would have already been history.
I didn't vote in 2008 either. I would have voted for Ron Paul.

You are so right...

The rude treatment at the GOP convention soured the Ron Paul supporters and led to this GOPocalypse. Come November 6th, they stayed home or voted Libertarian (Gary Johnson).

Hello? Been there, tried that, in 2008. Obama won against McCain too.

But if there had been some way for Romney to have kept the Ron Paul votes, that would have made the difference. Thank God the Republicans chose the Tea Partiers over the Ron Paul people, or Romney would now be the president-elect.

How did you get here from there...If your going to choose and an analogy at least keep it in the same realm..Ie apples to apples...take you pill and go to sleep

True or not, that was the public's perception, and that perception made all the difference.

Exactly. But apparently they arent capable. I even went more in depth than that. They just ignore it and keep on spouting nonsense.
