| As the 2012 election approached, conservative enthusiasm grew. Mitt Romney was drawing huge crowds while Barack Obama spoke in half-filled stadiums. All the passion lay on the right, while the left was discouraged with a promised messiah who proved merely a politician. And the prediction was that, in contrast to 2008, Republican turnout would dwarf the tuned-out and carry the day. Hence the shock November 6 eve. How could Romney lose, especially by such a wide electoral margin? Maybe he didn´t

Comments: It isn´t consolation but...When there are no Romney votes in 59 Philadelphia precincts, what is one to think? Is there any way to divide the country into blue and red?

Yes, the election was stolen. And, no, nothing can or will be done about it. Nothing will be done about it -- this time or the next time.

The outrageous thing is that we have no way to prove this. The system is almost designed to enable this type of fraud, and the dimocrats fought tooth and nail to prevent any form of integrity checks. Grand Thef Nation.

Yes it was. Will anyone do something about it? See Gen Patreaus. He´s a shining example of what happens when/if you cross those in power right now. The only consolation I have is all those fools who stumped for Obama will be in as big of a mess as we all will be....they just don´t know it yet.

I am going to say something that won´t be popular but just my belief. Mr. Obama reelection is because we as a nation have turned away from God and as a result, God´s blessings are no longer protecting us. We can be smarter next time, field better candidates, or have a better GOTV, but until we begin to change hearts and lives, before we begin to evangelize those 1/5 of the the electorate that has no religion whatsoever, before we begin to recognize our need for God again, I´m afraid we are going to be in for some difficult times as a nation. It´s up to us to stand up for our faith, and our freedom, but more importantly to share that faith, and bring others back to a relationship with God. One heart and one mind at a time.

I want every single voting machine used in PA, FL and OH SECRETLY examined. Record the findings unedited.
There is no way in heck that no one in 59 districts in Philly voted for Romney.
Another way to show fraud is to showcase people who live within that area and prove that they voted and have them testify that they voted for Romney and that their vote was changed.
They would however have to fear for their lives because the master would not allow the truth to come out.

This was planned since the 2008 loss by McPain. The DIMS have several projects run by old ACORN thugs, Union Thugs and general lackey´s. I have no doubt that included the voting machine software folks.
How do we stop that? I have a way.
Certified certificate voting over the Internet. All fully audited as votes are made, any fraud can be immediately traced to a location by IP address allocation. This eliminates ballot stuffers, paper ballots etc. If a person doesn´t have Internet they have to go to a polling place and use the computer there to vote. The Takers/Thurs/Thieves (T3) have taken over this country and we need to get it back before they run it into the ground...which is at least 47% done!

Just think about this for a minute. George W. Bush won two terms, beating Al Gore and John Kerry. White guy on white guy and Bush won those same swing states.
When there´s a black Chicago-style thug running, all of a sudden there´s a huge disparity in the vote. They pulled out every trick in the bag to rig this one for their man.

The presidential election is fought only in 11 or so "swing" states. No one else´s vote matters. The Democrats totally understand that. When it became clear to the Chicago thugs who ran Zero´s campaign that he could not run on his record, their masterful re-election effort consisted of 2 separate efforts. Number one with the complicity of the press, trashing Romney. Over and over, lies about him, his family, calling him a killer an elitist on and on, drumming it into the moronic TV watchers until they were successfully brainwashed. Number two with the complicity of the press start screaming about racism. And early "voting". And ID´s. How unfair it is to black people to only be allowed one day, or 10 days or 100 days of "voting" because they are poor. And also too poor to be able to buy IDs. Jon Husted is Ohio fended off many lawsuits until he gave in. A Democratic poll watcher where I volunteered told me her daughter in college and FOUR HUNDRED friends all from Cleveland and all in college in DC (!!) came in buses to vote early. Please. And then like many other Romney poll volunteers I was driven out of the poll on election day for nothing so the 7 Obama volunteers could work in tandem with the paid poll works, helping people vote. Their goal was achieved. Running up the score in the ghettos of the swing states so that no amount of legitimate voters in the suburbs and exurbs could catch up.

There are more than 50 MILLION of us. Why are we sitting at our computers whining? LETS ROLL. First to Washington DC, to visit our__ahem__ representatives and then a little trip over to the Capital and White House. No violence, just presence.
Make demands: an election with real controls. Limits on terms. Transparency. Prosecution of the criminals. And so on and so on.
If even a tenth of the 50 MILLION showed up, there would be some action.
So again, why are we sitting in front of our computers, whining? Even the Argentinians did better this year...
My family and friends are all ready to go, tell me when and where.
And if this is just too much for the patriots, at least take the five minutes to write to your addle headed "representatives" and tell them a thing or two. Again, if they are inundated with 50 MILLION emails/letters, they might decide it is time to stop being such mealy mouthed momma´s boys (and girls) and raise their lying voices.
PLEASE? Come on, Glen Beck, give out the call. Someone? Anyone?

Stolen? Indeed! Taken, pinched, pilfered, filched, lifted, appropriated, embezzled, pocketed, purloined, robbed and… need I say more? Yes, it was stolen! You blankety-blank know it was!
The results of this farce, referred to as an election, are absolutely loaded wall-to-wall with outlandishness and preposterousness anyone with a functioning brain can see right through. Obama is not entitled to be our President any more than he was four years ago. How can anyone conceive of a higher crime than this one?
By the way, in my opinion, this article is as deserving of Must Read status as Must Reads ever get.

Sent an email question to my state´s GOP yesterday asking why we don´t get a print out of how our votes are recorded. We fill out a ballot, put it into a machine of some sort but get no verification that the vote was recorded as cast. It could as easily be a shredder as anything else.

The election was stolen, there was not much enthusiasm for Obama pre-election, Romney had magnificent crowds. Romney conceded maybe a little bit early, but it was the gentlemanly thing to do and we expected no less from him. I wish he and Ryan, the math whiz, would get together and seriously delve into the voter fraud and make it their life´s mission to see that this never happens again. Romney has to do something with the rest of his life and this would be a great legacy.

Exactly, #18. We need leaders. That leadership may or may not come from those currently in office. The Tea Parties were ineffective this year - time to be rid of the Agenda 21 distraction (where did that really come from, anyway?) and the baloney that TPs shouldn´t endorse candidates. Even the most ignorant can now see where that got us. The various Tea Parties and parties like the Constitutional and Libertarian parties must get their acts together and coalesce into single, coherent, political party.
While we laud the faith of posters like #10, there is no practical plan of action in what they propose. Whether God will bless this nation or not is already baked in. The immorality is there. Shall those "less immoral" (words chosen carefully - we´re all sinners to some extent; those who deny it are liars) simply wring their hands and wait for Divine intervention? Convert those who sin more than we, one heart at a time? Gimme a break.
We´re waiting for real leaders with a real plan of action.

Then there is this to consider, Romney won (another way of saying Obama lost) in every state where photo ID was required to cast a vote.
Our ´leadership´ (unlike brazen democrat thugs) are afraid to get out in front of an issue like voter fraud and pound on it with the same air of conviction that the other side goes after "denying women birth control."
It is way past time to get adult about this and state some common sense. If you cannot produce a photo ID in 21rst Century America, you do not have the minimum faculties or legal standing to vote in a national election. Period.
Let democrats squawk about the poor fearful blacks who are so cowed by past mistreatment at the hands of Bull Connor, Jim Crow, and Brer Fox that they can´t walk into a state DMV office for an ID.
There are endless clips of large, threatening women talking coarsely about burning someone else´s property down if anything they don´t like happens. Are these the timid voters whose rights Eric Holder is trying to protect?
Maybe it´s the nursing home residents with dimentia being handed absentee ballots and "helped" by good Samaritan democrats in their vote selection that needs open examination.
In any case, we need Pit Bulls and Dobermanns representing our interests, not "my distinguished colleague" types trying to be fair and civil to a bunch of sociopaths like Harry Reid, and idiots like mom in tennis shoes, Patty Murray.

Anyone who thinks this can be fixed without violence is misguided and naive.
Americans have enslaved themselves and Masters do not listen when the slaves refuse to work... They crack the whip and demand more.
Did Pharaoh listen? Did King George listen? You think king barry and his merry band of thugs cares who marches?
They have taken more and more of our money for decades and now they have our healthcare, are on track to destroy our cheap energy, resulting in the total destruction of our economy.

In Cuyahoga County, where Clevland is the county seat. In precincts with with about 5 to 6 hundred ballots cast,
16 precincts Romney had 0 votes.
50 precincts he had only 2 votes
125 precincts he had 4 or less.
hussein won this county but many of the precincts Romney actually won.
It´s who counts the votes!

Allen West secured a partial recount, granted by the Supervisor of Elections. That paartial recount is now complete and has revealed 500 fraudulent votes. West is demanding a full recount. If the Supervisor will not give it to him he is going to go to court.
It is going to be hard to deny him because his district voted for Obama in larger numbers than there are voters there. They overplayed their hand and this sticks out like a sore thumb.

When voting machines were first used, a friend showed a gigantic lead in his race for state office but lost by a huge margin like 85%. He sat around for a couple of days then went door to door and in two blocks got sworn statements that more people voted for him than the total votes he got.
The machines were checked and every vote had been flipped. "Oh, but it was only an isolated case."
Only a nutcase would believe it can´t happen when the votes are counted.

There may not even be another election. The man has 4 years to write executive orders out the wazoo. Plenty time enough to get more socialist/progressives elected to the senate and house, he has at least 2 picks for SCOTUS probably more.
Some "progressive" genius will come up with an "all new & fair" way of choosing leaders in the US. That way the cackling hens won´t have to worry about voter fraud, and they can be assured their vote will be safe and correct. It´s for the kids, ya know...

It was stolen. And without relentless protest and outrage, you are pretty much guaranteed nothing will change -- for this election, and even more certain, for the next one. Even then, no easy route. You´ll calm down, entertain yourself with sex scandals pretending to be about justice over Benghazi.
Check the Must Reads. See any mention of it today? Any effort to keep a spotlight on this? No. But you can read repetitious, leering piece after repetitious leering piece all about Petraeus´ sex life. Hey, maybe Petraeus and Broadwell made some raunchy videos. And oooh, look there!! Shirtless photos! That´s what´s really important right now in November of 2012. Right?

For the last couple of days, I’ve been writing about American culture and American politics. The two are basically inseparable, I find. Anyway, for the first part of the series, go here; and for the second, go here. I will now wrap up. There is a defeatist strain among conservatives. Some say, “You know, we’ve done our best. We’ve tried our best in politics. Let’s just give up, and tend to private life, such as it is. Let’s look after our families, our places of worship, our friends.

He killed Osama bin Laden. He ended the war in Iraq. He can lower oceans and heal the planet. He has a better command of policy than his policy advisers and can craft better speeches than his speech writers; indeed, he told Harry Reid, “I have a gift.” Such self-regard is no surprise from a man able to coax two autobiographies out of life experiences equivalent to about 45 minutes in SEAL Team Six.

Tehran — Iran has agreed to abandon its nuclear-weapons program in a historic diplomatic achievement certain to dominate tonight’s foreign-policy presidential debate, and dramatically reshape the electoral landscape. “This is an extraordinary breakthrough,” said Deputy Undersecretary of State Jonathan Ebert Jr., lead negotiator for the U.S. “It’s a tribute to the hard work of our diplomatic team and President Obama’s visionary leadership.” According to Ebert, the momentous deal was struck late Sunday night after President Obama called Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and personally apologized for a Madonna video the Iranian leader found offensive.

Having a president who perpetuates a falsehood to the American people about the cause of a terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that resulted in the deaths of four Americans. Having a president who uses $70,000 of taxpayers’ money to promote that falsehood on Pakistani television. Having a president who broadcasts that falsehood to the world using the megaphone of a speech before the U.N. General Assembly.

Following my weekend column on the Administration’s disgraceful behavior over Benghazi, a commenter called Pilipo Underwood pops up: "Mawk Steyn’s sophistry is simply astounding! Willard Romney started the politics before we even knew the basics of the attack in Benghzi. And his essays just drip with vituperation. Such a chip on his shoulder, one thinks he would have learned after his Conviction for Hate Speech." If only Capitalization could Make It So. I’ve never been Convicted of Hate Speech.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.
