Do you really think Romney was going to wave his magic underwear and fix everything that's wrong with this country? That's been wrong for the past 30 years?
Oh and nice job referring to minorities as 'mindless'. IF you truly believe your partisan fantasies - you are mindless, IMO.
Just FYI: you're responding to an Alex Jones "truther" and birther.

Having a one-party political system under a "democracy" of course is mindless especially if you're claiming to be unhappy with how things are going.
People get the government they deserve -- yes it is mindless to simply follow orders and vote for one party no matter what. Minorities should be unhappy -- all they're doing is keeping the cheap labor globalists in power. Bill Clinton, the Master of NAFTA knew full well he was putting millions of Americans out of work -- he even told us that we had to compete with third world labor -- so what do idiots do? They vote in Obama who is promising to add many more millions to the labor pool so more millions of Americans will not have jobs or will complain about low wages.
No, don't you worry, minorities will still vote and it won't be for republicans. Minorities don't vote for stuffy, oppressive bigots that are decades behind the times. Wishful thinking though. : )
Proving that the media has done a great job of brainwashing many US voters, including minorities. Why bother to think for yourself when the propaganda machine will do it for you?

We dont have one party rule. Republicans control the House of Representative and have a sizable minority in the senate. Republicans control 27 states legislatures and Democrats only control 18.
And yes, you can be unhappy if you think Republicans are blocking progress from happening.
in short, you are making an argument based on a premise that isnt even true.

All politics really is local. You might have heard of a guy named Agnew. He was elected governor of Maryland before Nixon picked him as his running mate, and he was elected because he was considered locally as a moderate and won a lot more minority votes than other Republicans.
So it depends a lot on exactly who is nominated, and there are unstuffy, unoppressive, unbigots available, like, say, Marco Rubio.

Only whites have a two party system, blacks and hispanics are strictly a one-party people and they have their guy in the White House. If they're unhappy --- so what? They'll still vote the exact same way they ever do.
In fact -- why wouldn't politicians look more at what keeps whites as a group happy? They're the only ones who might vote for one party or the other. The two minorities will vote democrat no matter what so there's no need in trying to please them -- for either party.

Not at the same level as 08 and 12. The (half) black guy on the ballot was the impetus for elevated minority voter participation, not the mere fact that he was a Democrat. Mark my words, apathy will be back in full force in 16.

The bold does not legitimize your argument because as I already stated, we do not have one party rule. It doesnt matter if black people and Hispanics vote for Democrats in the blocks they do because that does not translate to Democrats having 100% control of the nation. There is still a republican controlled House and 27 Republican controlled legislatures in this nation.
Are you really arguing that it is impossible for these people to have their frustration be with republicans, or are you just so content on blaming Democrats that you dont care ?
"Only a third of U.S. adults say they are very happy -- minorities show particularly pronounced declines in the past two years, a U.S. survey indicates. A Harris Poll of 2,345 U.S. adults surveyed online April 10-15 by Harris Interactive found certain groups, such as minorities, recent graduates and the disabled, trended downward in the last couple of years."
Will this unhappiness translate to the next House and Senate elections?
I'm sure Obama can spare to lose 2,345 votes, the last election wasn't the 2000 election
