Re: How Could Romney Get Less Votes Than McCain?
Really ? You're asking?...Romney was extreme in his views, who in their right mind would want a scheming narsacisstic sexist elitist rigid man as president?

I think we need to get rid of how the votes are counted and look into who owns these voting machines and GET RID OF IT more than anything. Not good.

Re: How Could Romney Get Less Votes Than McCain?
I will never believe the election results. I live in Pennsylvania, 5 miles from the city that last year earned the title of "poorest city in the nation".The city has high unemployment and a high Hispanic population. The county I live in (Berks Co.) which includes this poor city of Reading always votes Democratic. This year Romney won in Berks CO. I believe this scenario was repeated across the nation. Romney lost my state because of massive fraud in Philadelphia, some of which was reported in the news.

Not all the votes were counted yet. Once they are Romney might have gotten slightly more then McCain.

I love it how all the Fox News programmed folks can't grasp something so simple. It really is that millions of people could not bring themselves to vote for your crappy candidate. As a former registered Republican out looking for a new party I am confirming this is the reason I didn't vote for the first time in 22 years.

Re: How Could Romney Get Less Votes Than McCain?
One more time. Romney got less votes than McCain. Because he underperformed McCain's totals in the liberal Northeast and on the West coast by nearly 2 million votes. These were the only two regions in the country that Romney underperformed McCain's '08 totals. In the red states, Romney got more votes than McCain. In the Great Lakes region, Romney got more votes than McCain. In the Purple or Swing states, Romney got more votes than McCain. Had Romney not underperformed McCain's blue state totals. He would have gotten more votes than McCain. Your lost votes came from areas where the outcome was never in doubt. 17% decline in Obamas red state total versus '08, 72% came from New England and the west coast, another 10% came from the great lakes (D) states. Less than 1% of the total decline in turnout came from Fl, Va, Oh, Ia, Co, and Nv. Romney actually ran a good campaign. He improved on McCain's totals everywhere he needed to, in the end it just wasnt enough.

Well put.

Of course, the BIGGEST decline this year was in OBAMA'S vote total, not Romney's. He fell nearly 9 million votes this year from people just not going to the ballot.

Re: How Could Romney Get Less Votes Than McCain?
Three simple reasons Romney didn't win:
1. Voter/machine fraud
2. The Ron Paul movement refused to vote
3. The deeply religious right could not bring itself to vote for a Mormon.

It was somewhat tough for JFK to break the religion barrier (no previous Catholic POTUS)but the prejustice against Mormon, LDS,is too deep.
It's interesting that the last POTUS with something of an off-beat religion (i.e. wasp Protestantism and its'different denomination) was Richard Milhous Nixon, who was a Quaker. It still wasn't as secretive as the Mormon religion.
I found it interesting as Romney's chances grew, starting afew years ago, the creators of South Park, came out with the huge hit musical "The Book of Mormon" which oddly enough attracted tons of young people who'd never even gone to a musical before in their lives. Was this an odd coincidence or a crafty was of putting down Romney's religion before the get go??? We'll never know.
The Republican Party will never, ever regain power until it shakes off the likes of Karl Rove and others who captured the party with G.W. Bush and the religious right.

You are absolutely correct. The President lost support in all 5 regions I looked at compared to 2008. Romney improved his standing over McCain in all but the heavy liberal areas.

Re: How Could Romney Get Less Votes Than McCain?
They cheat on a massive scale. The elections are total BS so TPTB can use any figure head puppets they want. Your responsibility is to keep paying taxes so the elite can live a good life without working. For an example of elite life style just review how Moochelle takes advantage of free money and position. Joe Biden has never had a job. Obama (scam master) has never had a job. All of the highest offices of government are held by the criminally compromised. This makes it easier for them to engage in unconscionable acts when told to do so.

The fear of Obuma winning the election was Palpable. It makes absolutely no sense for Romney to have gotten less votes than McCain.

Even though there's no way to prove it at the moment I'll go with computer fraud. They did overkill on Romney's totals because they really believed Obuma was going to be the underdog.

Simple....voter fraud via manipulating the electronic databases and votes recorded.


There have been numerous examples of how this can be done....and even people who have caught some of it going on.


Obama won by a only 52% to 48% margin in 2008......and we are supposed to believe he did better than that in 2012????

I don't believe this for one minute. This site is run by Bev Harris whose credentials are impecable.


Forget voting machines, programmed by insiders to do whatever they do. Let's just skip counting the votes altogether and use statistics.

Creepy little way to run an election, if you ask me.

-------------------------------------------------------------​-------------------

The public must be able to see and authenticate these four essential steps for an election to be public, democratic, and valid: (1) Who can vote (voter list); (2) Who did vote (3) The original count; (4) Chain of custody.


[link to www.bbvforums.org] ... 82333.html
 Quoting: Chikin


Highly manipulable their way. It's part of the way they manipulate elections to keep their choice in power. The other part of the equation is the mass media.

Did you not notice how both candidates didn't weren't really on fire at any of the debates? Obama seemed to never really even care to be there and Romney had very many chances to nail Obama's coffin shut and he never took them.

Some could argue that both parties already knew what the decision was: Obama would remain. Of course, if you do argue that point of view based on the circumstantial evidence then you are dubbed a crazy conspiracy theorist.

But I do find it very interesting all around...
