The unserious 51%. profitsbeard on November 10, 2012 at 12:35 AM

Everything you say is true, but it was the ABRs who cost us this election. They preferred Obama to Romney.

A man with a 3.97 GPA in combined MBA and Law, fabulous success in the private sector, deficits turned into surpluses in MA, countless acts of kindness, 7 years of public service without remuneration. And yet he wasn’t good enough. The purists and bigots stayed home and so now we have 4 more years of misery and this insufferable and incompetent thug.

He was slimed in the social media and demonized by the twitteratzi.

And those who had no reason to vote for the failure that is Obama were given a faux rationale (NO abortions! NO contraceptives!) to vote against Romney.

The idiot slim majority tried to defer the fiscal and foreign policy calamities by glomming onto a vapid “Romney wants to ban all sex!” meme.

But, as Petraeus demonstrates, the deferral will not work.

The sh!t will now hit a multitude of fans.

Thanks to all who voted for the Illusion Barack.

The unserious 51%.

Vote by Age and Race
White 18-29 (11%)[same in both polls]

Obama: 54% – MCain: 44%
Obama: 44% – Romney: 51%

Indeed, while I think we need to reach out to all groups of people as Americans(not merely as hispanics, asians, woman, gays etc) we need to be careful and find a way to win over those millions of whites who stayed home too.

The GOP should go with a broad message… with an eye towards the different groups.

My main point about “perspective” is that there’s a lot of young white liberals who don’t realize that they’re a minority within their generation of co-racial voters. There are also people like McCain’s and Huntsman’s daughters who like to lecture the GOP about appealing to young voters. The fact that the majority of young white voters under 30 preferred Romney by 7 points one election after preferring Obama by 10 points should be pounded into their consciousnesses every time they bring up the “youth”.

“The economy” is a meaningless concept to millions of (Americans)… Mark Steyn.

That helps explain the cultural divide as well.

I am afraid, based on my interaction with young people, their reaction will be, “OK. As long as it does not nullify their life insurance policy.”

Obama won overwhelmingly the fifth of voters who said the most important quality in picking a president is that he “cares about people like me.”

We have to time a way to reverse this narcissism.

Palin said it best – it’s a choice of freedom or free stuff.
Unfortunately Romney couldn’t explain freedom and O was all about free stuff…
This is why we need a true conservative to lead the party.

I like Palin but she’s polarizing, granted unjustifiably so. I know people in California who supported and voted for Romney but were convince in 2008 that she’s a moron, racist…blah blah insert media narrative here_____. As much as I would like her to get a fair shake, it just isn’t gonna happen as long as the treasonous media is in control.
