So Obama put the effort in to secure his base, and Romney didn’t put the effort in to secure his base, and we are all shocked that Romney didn’t win? sharrukin on November 20, 2012 at 12:15 AM

Romney’s conservative platform and the selection of Ryan secured the support of rational conservatives. Your admission that the cult did not support Romney is at least refreshing. No attempt to win the support of the cult would have succeeded and would have alienated the middle.

Obama got his black zombie vote to turn out en masse. He got Hispanics out voting for him by 71% because of his DREAM by fiat and Romney’s conservative posture on immigration. He got single women voting for him for the free birth control and abortion fear-mongering (special thanks to Akin, Mourdock). He got young people to vote for him because of his reversal on gay marriage. He got the enviro-freaks out with his blockage of KS-XL. Add it all up and you have a majority.

I’ll agree that Romney was too nice, but I’m not sure stepping down into the gutter with Obama would have mattered.

Yeah, because that makes a load of sense.

None of what you idiots said ever made any sense.

You told us all how electable Romney was and unless I am mistaken, he wasn’t elected.

You said he was a great businessman and yet he paid four times as much for ads than Obama did.

You said he was a great manager yet he picked fools and backstabbers for his staff and ran a disastrous campaign with a terrible GOTV effort and shoddy computer systems.

Romney decided that Chris Christie was a better bet than Ron Paul or Sarah Palin at the convention and it was Christie who ended up helping Obama. Real genius material.

No, that was you.

Yeah, because that makes a load of sense. Romney folks believe a ham sandwich can beat Obama, which is why they said that Mitt was the one with the best chance to win and nominating the others risked throwing away the race.

No, that was you.

We were telling you that Romney wasn’t going to cut it… and he didn’t.
We told you that Romney was another John McCain and he was.
We told that Romney was too nice and he was.
We told you that Romney needed to fight back against Obama’s attack ads and we nailed that one as well.

You’re right – we should have gone with one of the guys that got steamrolled by Romney or chose not to run in the first place. Any one of them would have clobbered Obama. Dope.

I never said anyone could beat Obama.

Period. After being talked up by his sycophants as the god of electability and gotta get those indies! You bunch of dolts are the last people anyone who’s interested in winning should listen to.

You can talk until you’re blue in the face about comparative election results, but the result will be the same. Romney sucks, Obama Claus won, and Gingrich or Santorum would have kicked that bastard’s ass all the way back to Kenya.

I never said anyone could beat Obama. I just didn’t buy into the Mittbot dogma that ( ommmmmmmmm) OnlyMittCanBeatObama ( ommmmmmm). You and your “ilk” did, you preached that for month after month after month, and even more lately with glittering visions of a Mitt landslide and Bradley Effect and Michigan’s in play! Pennsylvania’s in play! The ‘bot contingent has lost all credibility.
