Yep, the people in this country want freebies and they don't care if it hurts their children or not.
Very true, but however there are people on unemployment who want to work. There are people right now getting handouts who really don't want one. They want jobs. The GOP should be talking about compassionate entitlement reforms while creating an environment that will help those who want off welfare. Romney's 47% comment was a little out of line for someone who wants votes. Some people in this 47% want to contribute, they just can't because there isn't enough work being created.
I honestly believe there really wouldn't have been much of a difference between Romney and Obama. After all, socialized medicine was Romney's idea. I believe that Ron Paul or even Newt Gingrich would have made a much better candidate that Romney.
As a woman, I don't want free abortions and I think my birth control should be my responsibility. I am a pro-lifer. I didn't vote for Obama.
The GOP is in the shape it's in for the exact same reasons that Obama won in 2012. You simply cannot be honest with the voting public and expect to win because the numbers in this country have shifted far enough in the direction of those who would rather collect mailbox money than work. Mitt Romney didn't stand a chance because he was honest with people. Obama voters don't want to be told that they need to work to get ahead, they want some rich guy to give them money.
Obama was re-elected because just enough of the electorate is dumber than a rock.
Obama's biggest advanatge was the news media became his propaganda machine and refused to broadcast any negative news about him. The media picked up after Obama like the grooms following an elephant with brooms and shovels in a parade down main st.
Obama won the election because the Repuiblican strategists were dumber than the people who elected Obama.
And of course you failed to list one thing from the link. I wonder why that is. No, I know why that is.
Why should anyone list anything from the link? Mitt Romney is the number one reason you are going to be stomping your foot for the next for years. It's not exactly rocket science.
Here we have a whole list of reasons why Obama was re-elected. Most of them have been dealt with in a Kos article that I won't post. I won't do that because of the reasons offered by the Kos writer.
There were a number of reasons why Obama won but to me and the author of this link the most important one was that more people wanted to continue to get freebies from the government than there were who weren't willing to keep paying those freebies. The writer also mentions the effects of all those female freebies alone.
