Even if people are disgusted with the GOP, it still doesn't compute.
People knew coming into this that re-electing Obama and a Leftist senate would forever ensconce Obamacare.
Every. Single. Credible. Poll. Taken since Obamacare was crammed through has shown it to be moderately-to-vastly unpopular with the American people - except the exit polls on 11/6/12, showing people favoring the health care law - and of course the only poll that counts; the election results.
3,000,000 Republican voters stayed home?
Like Charles mentioned, we had enthusiasm disparities like 200 people for Stevie Wonder and Obama, and 30,000 people for Romney - repeating all across the country for the last 2-3 weeks of the campaign. We had enthusiasm-gap polls showing the GOP enjoying a lead larger than any before. We had party ID polls showing the GOP leading. We had polls showing independent voters breaking for the GOP in double digits.
It doesn't compute.
As Josef Stalin supposedly said, "Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything."
God help me overcome thought-loops that lead to no conclusions and no peace. But it does not compute. Which, if true, means that we are in the midst of a hostile totalitarian coup of a scope barely imaginable.
No, it doesn't compute. Not this time.
I agree; it does not compute.
I wrote on another thread that I am beginning to believe those 3 mil votes were cast and *disappeared*. There were voting machinge "irregularities" all over the place, and that's just the start of the problem.
There is no "chain of custody" for ballots -- how can there be if they are in a machine -- as in the old days. There is no supervised counting at our polling places, ballots then locked up, and then transported by some of these same folks for delivery to a central collection location.
For a lot of these machines, there is no paper ballot backup at all.
I believe we've been snookered.
