The Meaning of Yesterday's Defeat
Powerlineblog.com, by John Hinderaker

Original Article

Posted By:solalogos, 11/7/2012 11:47:39 AM

Yesterday was a comprehensive disaster. Here in Minnesota, to add a local perspective, not only did the state go for Obama–no surprise there–but the Democrats recaptured both houses of the legislature, and voters defeated two ballot initiatives, one on gay marriage and one on voter ID. Similar losses were sustained across the nation, although there were a few bright spots here and there. So yesterday’s defeat was not about a flawed presidential candidate or presidential campaign.

The meaning of yesterdays defeat is that Americans are stupid idiots who don't care about anything but themselves. I hope we do go over the fiscal cliff it would be just desserts for many! And don't feel the least bit bad about saying what I just said!!!

You saw the same results there that we saw nationwide. The majority of the voters want handouts and what they perceive as security. But, they want the government to provide and someone else to pay.

The conventional wisdom over the past four years has also been that we need to hit bottom before we can bounce back. Apparently, we're not there yet. But the momentum in that direction which will continue to build over the next four years may be so great that we'll punch right on through whenever we get there.

At our polling location, the line was out the door, about 45 minutes to get to the lady where you sign your name. Never seen any kind of line like that. I assume that was across the country.

So how did both Romney and obama get fewer votes than 4 years ago (obama/McCain)?????

I do think we just witnesses a massive voter fraud, something on the order of what a guy like Saddam Hussein would do. I think the voting machines were gamed (coded) to discard massive numbers of romney votes.

Sounds to me a pattern is showing it's ugly face...all the voting machines were programmed to show the opposite of real results...how else could everything good fail?

We cannot bounce back...where would we go....except for the anomoly of Ronald Reagan, we have, as a nation, been going down this path since Teddy Roosevelt.

The indoctrination of our children throughout the educational system has cemented the ultimate election of Obama or someone like him.

America hasn't been the world's last best hope in a long, long time.

Progressivism has just caught up with us. Very few have taught their children to think for themselves or re-inforced REAL history.
The kids have no idea of socialism under Soviet occupation for those nations behind the Iron Curtain; of rationing bread and meata; of planned economies; of a thriving and purely evil black market under it all.

I cry for my grandchildren.

Don't feel bad John. You're far from alone. When my state went for Kaine and Obama last night, I too realized that I am outnumbered by selfish, short sighted idiots. A simple justice will be served when they outlive me and can no longer redistribute thefruit of my labors to themselves. They might want to start learning chinese now.

Bring back Election Day.

We must return to...
- Paper Ballots.
- Voter ID.
- No early voting.
- Strict, rare absentee voting, for what it was originally intended.
- Tight registration procedures.

The lack of any of the above are opportunities for the Left to ''change'' the character of the electorate and to augment that electorate with otherwise disinterested or ignorant or incapacitated or dead or duplicate souls. They are hijacking America.

FTA: "If you were in that category, and had to make a choice between staying in the United States and inheriting a debt that could well be $1 million or more, and starting fresh in another country, what would you do?"

Our son-in-law, a hard-working and fiercely independent businessman, left our election "party-turned sad disaster" last night, uttering these words: "we don't have to stay here."

What we can do is start nominating candidates that will appeal to a broader base.

Single-issue voters matter, as Obama realized by going small and focusing on specific groups to generate votes. It helped him win today, but didn't transcend across a broad spectrum since the House is still strong GOP.
The Senate didn't have to end up the way it did, but two candidates hurt themselves badly with an extreme position.

Unions pushed their members to keep the gravy-train rolling in their direction, and they see Republicans as the enemy. That's how Allen in VA lost, IMO. Remember, gov't workers are all union workers.

Too many of the Republican politicians are leaning on Talk Radio to get their message out, but none are conveying a targeted message.
In Ohio and other places where the EPA will be restricting the oil, and nat gas development, and hurt the local economy, for instance.

In California we need to get a proposition on the next ballot that would allocate the electoral votes proportionally by winner of each district - that would be about 18 GOP and 18 less Dem.

Give it up, folks. They've won and we're done. We need to be prepared for serious persecution and trials from pagan liberals and Muslims. Forget about the GOP; we have no viable poltical solutions any more. We can either go along with the Leftists or follow the Lord. Read the Bible and believe what it says about the world.

The article makes sense, I would not be timid and say we are a Center-Left country now, I believe it is a full Far-Left country. After all the next generation believes in Socialism more than a free market. We are doomed by ignorant youth and the culture of corruption they adore.

Mitt Romney was not much different the obama.
He never stated what Rush was saying should have been said. Talk about conservative principals.

He never went after obama on how corrupt and immoral he is. That put obama on a equal plane as Romney

Do you really think that the liberal Democrats are going to allow the wimpy Republicans to change anything that would be favorable to them winning future elections?

Remember a lot of the wimpy Republicans, to go along to get along with the liberal Democrats, voted for the adjustments to traditional voting procedures now known as the motor voter law and the early voting laws that facilitate a lot of voter fraud in favor of the liberal Democrats.

You know that it is bad when UN voter observers from third world countries cannot believe that the US simply allows people not known to the voter judges to simply show up and vote without having to show any form of identification.

RUSH: Folks, I don´t know how else to categorize this. We are living in a dying country. I don´t know how else to categorize what´s happening -- 88,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate, because of a terrible statistic, is down to 7.6%. The number of people in this country who are not working is shameful. Ninety million Americans are no longer in the workforce. Ninety million. People not in the labor force grew by 663,000, and now 90 million. That´s the labor force participation rate. This is 1979 levels.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton explained to the Women in the World summit in New York today that the clock is turning back for women in America. Clinton praised her own mother for helping empower her to success and marveled at the opportunities that her own daughter Chelsea has pursued. But Clinton warned that there is still so much to do to promote women´s rights in America. "As I look at all these young women that I am privileged to work with, or know through Chelsea, and its hard to imagine turning the clock on them," Clinton said.

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Their attorney, Benjamin Crump, filed that paperwork at the Seminole County Courthouse, a portion of which was made public today. In the five pages of the settlement that were available for public review, the settlement amount had been marked out. Lower in the agreement, the parties specified that they would keep that amount confidential. When asked during an earlier interview whether the amount was
