Warph · November 09, 2012, 05:04:10 PM

I am already reading so many pundits and other talking heads analyzing the f__king disaster that was this year's elections. I am adding my own two cents. Here goes:

We are outnumbered

We accurately foresaw the enthusiasm, the passion, the commitment, the determination, and the turnout. Married women, men, independents, Catholics, evangelicals... they all went for Romney in percentages as high or higher than the groups which voted for McCain in 2008. It wasn't enough. What we saw in the election on Tuesday was a tipping point: we are now at a place where there are legitimately fewer Americans who desire a free republic with a free people than there are those who think the government should give them stuff. There are fewer of us who believe in the value of free exchange and free enterprise. There are fewer of us who do not wish to demonize successful people in order to justify taking from them.

We are outnumbered by f__king no-nothing idiots. It's just that simple.

It wasn't the candidate(s)

Some are already saying, "Romney was the wrong guy"; "He should have picked Marco Rubio to get Florida... Rob Portman to get Ohio... Chris Christie to get... (strike that f__king clown.)" With all due respect, these assessments are incorrect. Romney ran a strategic and well-organized campaign. Yes, he could have hit alot harder on Benghazi. But for those who would have loved that, there are those who would have found it distasteful. No matter what tactic you could point to that Romney could have done better, it would have been spun in a way that was detrimental to his chances. Romney would have been an excellent president, and Ryan was an inspired choice. No matter who we ran this year, they would have lost. The reason? See #1, above.

It's the culture, stupid.

We have been trying to fight this battle every four years at the voting booth. It is long past time we admit that that is not where the battle really is. We abdicated control of the culture... starting back in the 1960s. And now our largest primary social institutions... education, the media, Hollywood (entertainment) have become really nothing more than an assembly line for cranking out reliable little f__king Leftists. Furthermore, we have allowed the government to undermine the institutions that instill good character... marriage, the family, communities, schools, our churches. So, here we are, at least two full generations later... we are reaping what we have sown. It took nearly fifty years to get here; it will take another fifty years to get back. But it starts with the determination to reclaim education, the media, and the entertainment business. If we fail to do that, we can kiss every election goodbye from here on out. And much more.

America has become a nation of f__king adolescents

The real loser in this election was adulthood: Maturity. Responsibility. The understanding that liberty must be accompanied by self-restraint. Obuma is a f__king spoiled child, and the behavior and language of his followers and their advertisements throughout the campaign makes it clear how many of them are, as well. Romney is a grown-up. Romney should have won. Those of us who expected him to win assumed that voters would act like grownups. Because if we were a nation of grownups, he would have won.

But what did win? Sex. Drugs. Bad (f__king) language. Bad manners. Vulgarity. Lies. Big Time Cheating. Name-calling. Finger-pointing. Blaming. And irresponsible spending.

This does not bode well. People grow up one of two ways: either they choose to, or circumstances force them to. The warnings are all there, whether it is the looming economic disaster, or the inability of the government to respond to crises like Hurricane Sandy, or the growing strength and brazenness of our f__king enemies. American voters stick their fingers in their ears and say, "Lalalalalala, I can't hear you." F__king Idiots!

It is unpleasant to think about the circumstances it will take to force Americans to grow up. It is even more unpleasant to think about Clown Obuma at the helm when those circumstances arrive.

Yes, there is apparently a Vagina Vote

It's the subject matter of another thread in its entirety to point out, one by one, all of the inconsistencies and hypocrisies of the Democrats this year. Suffice it to say that the only "war on women" was the one waged by the stupid Obuma campaign, which sexualized and objectified women, featuring them dressed up like Vulvas at the Democrat National Convention, appealing to their f__king "lady parts," comparing voting to losing your virginity with Clown Obuma, trumpeting the thrills of destroying our children in the womb and using our daughters in commercials to do so, and making Catholics pay for their birth control. For a significant number of women, this was appealing. It might call into question the wisdom of the Nineteenth Amendment, but for the fact that large numbers of women (largely married) used their "lady smarts" instead of the other end. Either way, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton are rolling over in their graves.

It's not about giving up on "social issues"

No Republican candidate should participate in a debate or go out on the stump without thorough debate prep and a complete set of talking points that they stick to. This should start with a good grounding in biology and a reluctance to purport to know the will of God.

That said, we do not hold the values we do because they garner votes. We hold the values we do because we believe that they are time-tested principles without which a civilized, free and prosperous society is not possible. We defend the unborn because we understand that a society which views some lives as expendable is capable of viewing all lives as expendable. We defend family.... mothers, fathers, marriage, children... because history makes it quite clear that societies without intact families quickly descend into anarchy and barbarism, and we have plenty of proof of that in our inner cities where marriage is infrequent and unwed motherhood approaches 80%. When Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973, many thought that the abortion cause was lost. 40 years later, ultrasound technology has demonstrated the inevitable connection between science and morality. More Americans than ever define themselves as "pro-life." What is tragic is that tens of millions of children have lost their lives while Americans figure out what should have been obvious before.

There is no "giving up" on social issues. There is only the realization that we have to fight the battle on other fronts. The truth will out in the end.

Obuma does not have a mandate. And he does not need one.

I have to laugh... bitterly... when I read conservative pundits trying to assure us that Obuma "has to know" that he does not have a mandate, and so he will have to govern from the middle. I don't know what they're smoking. Obuma does not care that he does not have a mandate. He does not view himself as being elected.... much less re-elected)... to represent individuals. He views himself as having been re-elected to complete the "fundamental transformation" of America, the basic structure of which he despises. Expect much more of the same... largely the complete disregard of the will of half the American public, his willingness to rule by executive order, and the utter inability of another divided Congress to rein him in. Stanley Kurtz has it all laid out here.

The F__king Corrupt Media is the enemy

Too strong? I don't think so. I have been watching the media try to throw elections since at least the early 1990s. In 2008 and again this year, we saw the media cravenly cover up for the incompetence and deceit of this idiot President, while demonizing a good, honorable and decent man with lies and smears. This is on top of the daily barrage of insults that conservatives and by that I mean the electorate, not the politicians... must endure at the hands of this arrogant bunch of elitist dip-sh!ts. Bias is one thing. What we observed with Benghazi was professional malpractice and fraud.... from the President on down to the media's copy-boy. They need to go. Republicans, Libertarians and other conservatives need to be prepared to play hardball with the Pravda press from here on out. And while we are at it, to defend those journalists of whatever political stripe (Jake Tapper, Sharyl Atkisson, Eli Lake) who actually do their jobs. As well as FoxNews and some talk radio. Because you can fully expect a re-elected Clown Obuma to try to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine in term 2.

Small business and entrepreneurs will be hurt the worst

For all the blather about "Wall Street versus Main Street," Obuma's statist agenda will unquestionably benefit the biggest corporations which... as with the public sector unions... are in the best position to make campaign donations, hire lobbyists, and get special exemptions carved out from Obuma's health care laws, his environmental regulations, his labor laws. It will be the small business, the entrepreneur, and the first-time innovators who will be crushed by their inability to compete on a level playing field.

America is more polarized than ever; and this time it's personal

I've been following politics for a long time, and it feels different this time. Not just for me. I've received messages from other conservatives who are saying the same thing: there is little to no tolerance left out there for those who are bringing this country to its knees... even when they have been our friends. It isn't just about "my guy" versus "your guy." It is my view of America versus your view of America... a crippled, hemorrhaging, debt-laden, weakened and dependent America that I want no part of and resent being foisted on me. I no longer have any patience for stupidity, blindness, or vulgarity, so with each dumb "tweet" or FB post by one of my happily lefty comrades, another one bites the dust, for me. Delete.

What does this portend for a divided Congress? I expect that Republicans will be demoralized and chastened for a short time. But I see them in a bad position. Americans in general want Congress to work together. But many do not want Obuma's policies, and so Republicans who support them will be toast. Good luck, guys.

It's possible that America just has to hit rock bottom

I truly believe that most Americans who voted for Obuma have no idea what they are in for. Most simply believe him when he says that all he really wants is for the rich to pay "a little bit more." So reasonable! Who could argue with that except a greedy racist?

America is on a horrific bender. Has been for some time now. The warning signs of our fiscal profligacy and culture of lack of personal responsibility are everywhere... too many to mention! We need only look at other countries which have gone the route we are walking now to see what is in store.

For the past four years... but certainly within the past campaign season.... I have tried to warn Americans ON THIS THREAD. Too many refuse to COMMENT... one way or the other, even when all of the events that have transpired during Obuma's presidency... unemployment, economic stagnation, skyrocketing prices, the depression of the dollar, the collapse of foreign policy, Benghazi, hopelessly inept responses to natural disasters... can be tied directly to Obuma's statist philosophies, and his decisions.

What that means, I fear, is that they will not see what is coming until the whole thing collapses. Good luck with that, people. That is what makes me so sad today. I see the country I love headed toward its own "rock bottom," and I cannot seem to reach those who are taking it there.

20 things that went right on Election Day

By Michelle Malkin • November 7, 2012 03:46 PM

1. Republicans retained control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

2. Voters in Alabama, Montana, and Wyoming all passed measures limiting Obamacare.

3. Tea Party candidate Ted Cruz, one of the conservative movement's brightest rising stars, overcame establishment GOP opposition to clinch a U.S. Senate victory in Texas.

4. Corruptocrat Beltway barnacle Rep. Pete Stark was finally kicked out of office in California.

5. Despite entrenched teachers' union opposition, a charter school initiative in Washington state triumphed.

6. Despite entrenched Big Labor support, a radical collective bargaining power grab in Michigan failed.

7. Oklahoma voters said no to government race-based preferences in college admissions, public contracting, and government hiring.

8. Montana voters said no to boundless benefits for illegal aliens.

9. Washington state approved taxpayer-empowering limitations on its state legislature's ability to raise taxes.

10. For the first time since Reconstruction, the GOP won control of the Arkansas state house.

11. Voters rejected tax hike ballot measures in Arizona, South Dakota, and Missouri.

12. Louisiana voted to protect gun rights.

13. Kentucky voted to protect hunting and fishing rights.

14. Parental notification for minors' abortion prevailed in Montana.

15. North Carolina Republicans claimed the governor's office, congressional gains, and control of the state's general assembly.

16. Paul Ryan will return to Congress after winning re-election and continue to carry the torch for entitlement reform and budget discipline.

17. Conservatives won big victories in the Kansas state legislature.

18. Republicans won historic supermajorities in Tennessee.

19.Across the country, Republicans reached a post-2000 record number of gubernatorial victories.

20. Conservatives who were devastated by the national election results demonstrated how to lose with dignity and grace.

How Obama Won Re-election

By MIKE BOSTOCK, SHAN CARTER, AMANDA COX, TOM GIRATIKANON, ALICIA PARLAPIANO, KEVIN QUEALY, AMY SCHOENFELD, LISA WAANANEN/NEW YORK TIMES November 10, 2012 by
NYTimes.com

Republican Gains Among Whites Yield Few Battleground State Victories:
Mr. Obama won despite losing the support of white voters by wide margins. Overall, he lost this group by 19 percentage points, even larger than his 12-point loss in 2008.

Women Voters Hold Steady:
Mr. Obama maintained his support among women: 55 percent voted for him, about the same percentage as in 2008.

Hispanic Voters Increase Support:
President Obama won the Hispanic vote by 44 percentage points, 8 percentage points more than in 2008. Among the swing states, the president made the biggest gains in Colorado, taking 74 percent of the Hispanic vote, up from 61 percent in 2008. In Florida, President Obama's gains among Hispanic voters helped him in the state. He won 60 percent of the Hispanic vote, up from 57 percent in 2008 and 44 percent for John Kerry in 2004.

Young Voters Turn Out Where it Mattered:
Young voters favored President Obama, but less so than in 2008. However, he managed to improve his share of the youth vote in swing states like Ohio, Florida and Virginia where his campaign most actively targeted voters.

END OF THE ROAD

The jobs are not coming back. To know that you need to get off the inter-states; off the scenic blue highways that lead to your summer beach retreats. You need to get into the towns that have been passed by; the towns whose main industry has become food stamps and "assistance." These towns are growing in number daily and will continue to grow.

There is no work in these towns. The factories that supported them are long dead or dying. They, like the people they supported, are carbon based life forms and the strange insects that govern us seem to be united in making sure they never return. The checks and the food stamps come, but that's not enough to paint the houses or put in the gardens or do much more than eat too many pizzas and drink too much watery beer. The young would leave but more and more there's no place to go. They spend their time instead deciding on what sort of new tattoo will go well with the previous twenty.

The building of new houses and malls and condos and other large construction projects are not coming back. And even if they did where would we find the workers trained to build them? Old carpenters have moved on to making a living at something other than construction. There's not enough work to bring young ones onto the job and help them to master the skills needed. When a nation stops building it stops having the jobs that can train the next generation of builders. Mexicans, working cheap and off the books, are still in some demand, but there's a limit to repainting and the kind of minor brickwork that makes for a pleasant garden.

The money isn't coming back except at something worth less with every passing day. It begins to seem like mere slips of paper or a meaningless string of numbers that always seems to decrease.

This is a country where millions feel like they have no future. If they were Mexicans, the Democratic Party would community organize the hell out of them. So it falls to us.

Bitter clingers like me need some explanation of what just happened last Tuesday. I find this as plausible as any:

The AP exit polls showed 42% were "positively influenced to vote for Obama based on his purported stellar handling of the emergency response" to SuperStorm Sandy.

.... A week before the election, the in-the-tank-for-Obama MSM was deeply worried that Romney was going to beat their guy, so they played up Superstorm Sandy and the game-changing effect it was having on the election for all it was worth....

.... In Florida, with nearly 8.3 million ballots cast, the margin of victory was a mere 52,000 votes. Because this U.S. presidential election was a two person race, a takeaway by one candidate from another represents a two vote swing. Accordingly, if somewhere in the order of 26,000 Floridians, out of 8.3 million, decided that they were changing their vote from Romney to Obama based on his supposed "heckuva job" in relation to the storm response, those voters alone decided Florida's 29 electoral votes. Given the AP exit poll and its 42% figure for those who claimed the storm influenced their decision to vote for Obama, it's safe to say that Superstorm Sandy threw far more than 26,000 voters into Obama's column and out of Romney's.

....The same argument can be made in Ohio. 5.3 million votes cast, margin of victory: 103,000. If the storm flipped about 52,000 votes or more from Romney to Obama, then no storm meant Ohio would have been a Romney win on election day.

....In Virginia, 3.7 million votes cast, margin of victory: 107,000. If the storm influenced 54,000 voters or more to abandon Romney for Obama, the storm was decisive in converting a Romney win in Virginia to an Obama win.

....In Colorado, nearly 2.4 million votes cast, margin of victory: 113,000. If 57,000 voters or more moved from the Romney camp to the Obama camp based on the storm, then Obama doesn't win the state if the storm never happens.

A Romney win in these four states would have given him the election.

If you don't like that one, there are several variations of "Operation Demoralize" wherein the Obuma Clowns-Media Complex simultaneously got out their own vote and demoralized fence-sitters into staying home. Or if you understand hi-tech, there's the "unmitigated disaster known as Project ORCA."

A tiny little bright spot is that, relative to 2008, the 18-29 demographic moved ever so slightly toward Romney, not Obuma.

B U T.... I'm not buying the "Sandy beat Romney" thesis, for the plain and simple reason that it contradicts everything we know about human psychology. Sure, we're all, at times, fickle and capricious, but the idea that millions of people changed their votes because of a few pictures of Obuma walking the beach and a brief pep-talk by Obuma in New Jersey defies belief. The fact is that most voters never heard the pep talk... it took place in the middle of the day and probably never saw the pictures.

If changing opinions were that easy, advertising would be the simplest business in the world. It's not... it's one of the most complex, because there's still so much we don't know about how and why people DO change their opinions. I think there's a much simpler explanation of what happened Tuesday. Find out why so many white voters... perhaps as many as 7 million I've read.... and the great majority of them probably Republicans... didn't bother to vote and you'll have the answer to why Romney lost. A huge chunk of the GOP base never showed up. If it had, Romney would've won. We now know there were millions of disaffected Republicans, but we still don't know, and may never know, why they were so disaffected. But their "sleeping in" or "whatever" they were doing on Election Day is all the explanation we need for why Barack Insane-Hussein Obuma is still president.

For All You Fans Of Getting To The Bottom Of Benghazi

You've just been dealt a blow. CIA director David Petraeus has submitted his resignation, effective immediately, after it was learned that he engaged in an extra-marital affair. We certainly do not relish what he and his family will be going through now on a personal level, and we will always esteem him for the service he has given to this country, both here and abroad.

But what is disappointing, apart from discovering that another great American that was put on a pedestal by us has human failings after all, is that he will not be testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee about his role in the Benghazi affair. This is curious and troubling. From the outset of the Benghazi scandal, the intelligence community was blamed and thrown under the bus by Team Obama, and General Petraeus was one of the few who seemed to fight back, issuing a carefully worded statement that indicated no decision in the intelligence community chain was made, and no order was given, to stand down, essentially leading people to look elsewhere in Obama's government for who may have given that order. I was among the early proponents of getting General Petraeus under oath, not because I believe he was complicit in the disaster that was our response to the terrorist attack on September 11th, 2012, but because the information he could share would be the lynch pin to learning the truth of who screwed up and why.

Now that General Petraeus has called it a career, and especially in this light, one of the star witnesses we were looking forward to in the weeks ahead is no longer an option. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I think chasing conspiracies are counterproductive. But I know our side, and where this is going to lead. The calls that this is all part of the cover-up, that Petraeus didn't really cheat on his wife, this was all a calculated way of driving him out in order to keep him from making Obama look bad, all the nefarious reasons why this happened now and in this way, are going to spin this story in a very unhealthy direction. And that will be tragic.

What happened in Benghazi is not, and should not be able to be turned into the equivalence of birtherism and trutherism. Four Americans died under circumstances that aren't yet fully known, and the American government, right up to the president of the United States, is on record for weeks afterward lying about those circumstances. The American people deserve better. The families of the dead deserve to know the truth. I'm just souring on the prospects that will ever happen without becoming marginalized as nutters.
