| WASHINGTON— Mitt Romney says his heart said he was going to win the presidency, but when early results came in on election night, he knew it was not to be. The GOP nominee tells "Fox News Sunday" that he knew his campaign was in trouble when exit polls suggested a close race in Florida. Romney thought he´d win the state solidly. Obama ended up taking Florida and won the election by a wide margin in the electoral vote. Romney says there was "a slow recognition" at that time that President Barack Obama would win —

The far right staying home on top of wide spread voter fraud. He didn´t stand a chance. He would have won easily in the America I grew up in.

I thought he´d win Florida until late morning I got a bad pit in the stomach feel when I saw the long lines. Now I´m convinced massive fraud occurred.

Mr. Romney, the truth is, you did win that day. Now the Obama crowd can point to the election results and claim otherwise, but I believe you did win. I believe most legitimate, one-time voters chose you. And I believe that is a group of Americans that Obama is going to find difficult to govern/rule/dicate to, whatever.

Like #2, I was feeling good up until Tuesday morning when I saw the long lines, and out-of-state college students being bused to the polls. I got the same feeling in my stomach.
When I think back on the huge number of endorsements Romney/Ryan got from newspapers that you´d normally expect to back Obama, and the huge crowds that Romney/Ryan drew as opposed to the paltry ones Obama was drawing, it´s hard to deny the idea that something very bad happened. R/R should have won.

He lost Florida the same way Allen West lost, fraud. HOLDER intimidated the election clerks to stop verifying ID´s for registered voters, TRUE THE VOTE was submitting duplicate registrations and out of state and the dead, the clerks were sorting through this until the unJustice Dept stepped and sued the state, to assure the fraud.

GOP was totally unprepared for widespread vote fraud. How can this be? Did they not notice ACORN? Did they not notice the Black Panther intimidation? Did they not notice so called ´early voting´? The playbook was pretty simple: log the early vote and then block the legitimate vote on election day by long lines and delays. Not a peep out of any Republican even hinting at fraud - then they ask for donations? Yeah, right.

GOP was prepared for voter fraud. They were not prepared for flipping of vote machines because that´s something new and far more dangerous. There is no way that the country which voted entirely Republican in 2010 suddenly had a change of heart two years later when essentially nothing was improved. It was fraud - his heart was right and so was his polling data. Don´t fall for this bogus discussion about how the Republicans need to change.

Machines that can be programmed are worse than the hanging chads of dumb voters.
GOP agreed in 80´s (?) not to go after voter fraud in the ´burbs or inner city, rather--the heavily minority communities. Why that?
I like Mitt and Ann out front and center (and note the Mormon questions now put to bed by the media?) Not only does he get an "I told you so" moment but we do too and the Romney´s have class.
Rubio did not deliver Florida but rather made it about his favorite minority and getting the GOP to embrace amnesty. I believe GWB tried amnesty of sorts with a path to citizenship and the dems rejected it? How fast the voting public forgets--that and Hillarycare that obaMao finally pushed through with the devious duo Pelousi and Dirty Harry usurping powers to ramrod it through.
Perfect storm, we had our chance, and now ought to check out the signs of the times IMO. Ahmabeingbad in Iran wishes to blow up the world and usher in the 12th Imam. North Korea, China and Russia in the mix as the plot thickens.
I doubt the Romney´s are fatalists as I am?

How do we combat flipping the voting machines? We can purge the voting rolls all we want and still the Ds will steal elections, especially in places that use paperless Diebold machines. No traceable evidence trail.

Romney is a fine, decent man. He grew up in America and understands and truly cares about this country. He´s what we needed to save this country from itself. It´s quite sad that we will never experience what a great president he would have been.

We could have these sweet and honest and decent people in the White House right now.
It is heart breaking that this has happened.
The ´Peaceful Transition of Power´ may be the biggest victim of this tragedy.
At least, I hope so.
Because The Tree of Liberty withers while we continue to grant these thieves the benefit of the doubt where there is really very little doubt.

There are two things I will believe to my dying day. That massive vote fraud occurred in the 2012 elections. Mitt Romney should be President and Ross Perot was paid to run in the 1992 elections to steal votes that would have gone to President George H.W. Bush so as to ensure a win for bill clinton.

The voter fraud paranoia is just another excuse from the Romney water carriers; for a home truth they cannot bear. Romney was a horrendous candidate principled conservatives warned about since 2006! Despite a real unemployment rate topping 17%, Romney could not make his case w/the electorate!!!!! The voters took full measure of Romney and found him wanting; w/o either conviction or core principle; a dissembler and waffler, desperate to please. So they decided to vote for the devil they knew. End of story.

I agree he was a poor candidate, though certainly a good guy. But I also know that there was vote machine skullduggery. Sister-in-law, who has never before voted for a Republican in ANY election, voted for Romney, but observed it being recorded as a vote for Obumble. Trumbull county Ohio.

Romney never fought Obamacare with the sharp teeth that was needed, nor did he hold Obama responsible on Benghazi. Well, he goes out a nice guy now, which I guess to him is the important thing.
Too bad about the country.

Romney was exactly what the country needed at this moment in time. It´s too bad so many Americans are brain dead. It´s tragic, really. Elections have consequences and Obama is back for another four years. I hope those responsible suffer the most. I suspect they will.

Massive vote fraud was reported in Ohio, Florida, Virginia and Pennsylvania. The GOP is useless in protecting its candidates from Democrat election fraud. They can´t even arrange a fair debate, even for the party´s own primaries.
Romney did win, I truly believe that.

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Women will have the chance to join the Navy SEALS, Army Rangers and other specialized combat outfits beginning in 2016 under plans approved Tuesday by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. Female candidates will also be able to join front-line Army and Marine Corps infantry units as part of the department’s decision. “The days of the ‘Rambo’ are over,” Maj. Gen. Bennet Sacolick, head of force development for Special Operations Command, said Tuesday during a briefing announcing the changes. Tuesday’s announcement builds on former Pentagon chief Leon Panetta’s decision in January to end the military’s long-standing ban

Michael Hastings, a contributor to Rolling Stone and BuzzFeed, died on Tuesday morning in a car crash in Los Angeles at the unforgivably young age of 33.He is best known, rightly, for his 2010 Rolling Stone profile of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who as commander of the U.S.-led force in Afghanistan was the face of the war that Hastings saw as misguided and poorly managed. His profile, “The Runaway General,” portrayed McChrystal as a loose cannon so sure of himself and his strategy for the war that he and his staff openly derided their civilian overseers,

Senators on Tuesday rejected building the 700 miles of double-tier border fencing Congress authorized just seven years ago, with a majority of the Senate saying they didn’t want to delay granting illegal immigrants legal status while the fence was being built. The 54-39 vote to reject the fence shows the core of the immigration deal is holding. The vote broke mostly along party lines, though five Republicans, including Sen. Marco Rubio and the rest of the bill’s authors, voted against the fence, and two Democrats voted for it. Republicans had offered the fence as a way to

Tough global rules to stop mega-rich firms and individuals from dodging tax were unveiled at the G8 summit today. David Cameron demanded the world’s most powerful countries act to stop countries shifting profits to low-cost tax havens instead of paying they dues where there are earned. The Lough Erne Declaration - signed by the UK, US, Germany, France, Italy, Canada, Japan and Russia - vows to ´fight the scourge of tax evasion´ by ensuring automatic exchange of tax information and changing the rules to stop multinational companies shifting profits across borders to avoid paying their fair share.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.

It is understood that a contingency plan is in place for the unlikely event that an attempt would be made on the President’s life. The Secret Service also have diplomatic immunity which will allow them to shoot to kill a would-be assassin without fear of prosecution. As part of the “evacuation route” plan, they would be able to spirit the President by chopper to one of the carriers where a jet is on standby to take him back to the United States.
