Romney LOST!

[{Ru}EINHANDER]

Actually, it could turn out that he gets the popular vote but comes up short on the electoral vote.. whatever the election outcome.. I'm just glad it's almost over. If Obama loses.. my joy will be found in the fact that Holder, Geitner & Napalitano will be looking for work come Jan. 20th. If Romney wins, my greatest fear is that again we have 4 more years of no improvement with regard to illegal immigrants and no reduction of debt. It doesn't really matter who wins.. it'll take more than 4 years to fix what's gone wrong over the last 12 years (I don't care who did what.. I just want someone with a solution).

As I predicted... and again, I'm just glad it's over. Let's see where we are at in 4 years. Slayer.. disappointed in your State. I just knew you were not going to vote for Obama.

Well, I'd been saying that I felt Romney would lose since Jan. of this year if he got picked. I did not expect how well he did in the 1st debate but after that.. he really got some momentum. To the point that it really looked like he might get a win.. several Obama supporters were switching the day before the election.. etc. I knew for sure within an hour and a half with how close it was in the swing states.. that it was over for Romney. Historically, it's damn near impossible to beat the incumbent unless you have a significant lead .. and again.. he didn't in the crucial "swing" states. I was pretty pleased that for the most part it looked like nation wide there was no appearance of rampant voter fraud (at least not the obvious type). I did vote for Romney and I still feel that Obama isn't the right direction the country should be heading in. It was a very close election, so despite what you see on TV about 'soul searching' etc.. I think you and the other 52% felt Obama is either doing the right thing or needed more time to accomplish what he wants/or was elected to do. So, we'll see how that pans out over the next four years. I'm not sure what to make of the election as a whole. The Democrats are saying/calling the election of Obama a mandate.. but he nearly lost. Then with the election of the Republicans to Congress again.. and Dems in the Senate again.. nothing really changed. I'm not really sure what anyone can expect with basically the SAME chess board setup. The definition of insanity is what I view the election results. That definition is basically, doing the same thing over again but now people are expecting different results? If people wanted Obama.. then they needed to shift out Republicans in Congress or flip Congress for the Senate.. something just had to be different with regards to the grid lock. Hell, even if they elected Romney but put Democratic majority in Congress/Senate.. something different but it's the same damn thing. So.. I really wonder if BOTH sides will come to the table to fix the debt problem.. or for that matter the tax issues to help the unemployment issues... and of course what's Israel going to do about Iran as it doesn't look like we'll be playing an active role.

I *really* wanted to see Holder go.. and that sniviling little shit Geitner go. Even though for the most part the nation seems divided, I'm glad it's over.. well, at least the ads and the election. Here's to hoping for the best outcome in the next 4!

Well the thing i do disagree with you on was that it was close and obama almost lost.yeah it looked close for a bit, but us Democrats all know the westcoast is hardcore democrat.With California and there population and electoral votes,i knew the election was over 4 hours before it was official. i wont say it was a landslide victory, but it was huge

We'll have to agree to disagree then on how close it ended. From my stand point if you cannot win your home state.. that's a really bad sign. Neither Romney nor Ryan got their state... and again, I agree with you on the marriage. Although, if that is what your state folks want to do.. that's your state. What I don't want to see is the Fed's try to tell *MY* state that we're expected to recognize that law here when we don't allow it. I think that's the bigger problem with the Fed. I mean, if Colorado and Washington wanna be pothead states.. or Nevada have prostitution.. it is entirely up to them; however, if they come to another state where it's against the law... well, it's against the law in that state. Should there be a consitutional ammendment... if states pass laws that allow their citizens to do or not do something.. then the consitution shouldn't be changed to punish them. This unfortunately gets into a very serious problem allowing that to be 'accepted' as law. They now can teach homosexuality in the schools in your state because it's not against the law. Then you start to wonder how early is too early for kids to be exposed to things like that. Sex in general.. 12? 7? 5? let alone something currently considered alternative.

Don't get me wrong.. this is a free country.. and if people choose to live that way, they should not be prosecuted by others. Well, you know I've talked this to death many times but we agree that passing the law was a mistake. Maybe 'real' marriage should start having the states recognize a term called "holy marriage" and then not allow gays to take that. Kinda like a copyright with regards to law.

Gary Johnson was screwed.

You know.. I bet the next election will have some very interesting candidates. I hear that a senator from Texas will be a strong runner for the Repubs.. and that Hillary will still have a go for the Dems. I'm at this point almost willing to take a hard look at Ron Paul.. or someone that is willing to balance the budget and clean up the illegal problem here.

Again.. that guy you voted for to get 1+ million.. that's no joke. If Obama's vision doesn't work in the next 4 years and we have a worse economy.. it's Obama's vision along with the Democrats.. so we could end up with a 3 way run off Repub. + Dem. + ?? You never know Eric. If Obama's vision is the right path and things start turning around then might be a one party system for a while also.
