Ryan pins blame for Republican ticket´s
loss on ´urban´ voters as it´s revealed
that Romney did not win a single
vote in 59 Philadelphia voting districts

Daily Mail [UK], by Hayley Peterson

Original Article

Posted By:Attercliffe, 11/14/2012 6:17:28 AM

In his first post-election interview, Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan blamed the loss by the Republican presidential ticket last week on high turnout among ´urban´ voters. ´We were surprised at the outcome,´ he told WISC-TV, his home state´s CBS affiliate. ´We knew this was gonna be a close race. We thought we had a very good chance of winning it.´ ´Losing never feels good,´ he added. Ryan said he was expecting to get more support from voters in big cities, which generally tend to vote Democratic.[Snip]Ryan´s liberal critics accused him of suggesting that inner-city minorities were responsible for Obama´s win.

Comments:
So whaddaya call an area deep in the city? It´s not urban? And if I live there, does that mean I´m black? Or was?

A Hillary adviser snarkily corrected Ryan because, it seems, "urban" is no longer a code word for "black." Really? I didn´t know it was until I read this. Does that mean because I´m a suburbanite I´m no longer a sub-black or am I simply a confused old geezette?

That last was a strictly rhetorical question. Don´t touch it, I haven´t been in a good mood since the election.

The Democrat party have developed voter fraud to an art form. Republicans will never win a national election until they figure out a way to stop it.

Oh yeah, ...The voting divisions, which counted 19,605 votes for Obama and zero votes for Romney

Saddam Hussein didn´t even get voting results like that. I think we may hear more from Paul Ryan on this issue from his seat in the House of Representatives.

I would have to think it is statistically impossible to get 19,605 votes for Obama and 0 votes for Romney.
There was not one single person opposed to abortion, gay marriage, high unemployment, huge deficits, etc? These districts are not 100% black voters.
And the same thing happened in sections of Cleveland and Cincinnatti.
Coincidence?
No, it can only mean election fraud. So brazen and in-you-face that they don´t even bother to hide it with a 95% - 5% outcome.

I would blame the loss on fraud and ballot stuffing. There is no way that many precincts could have been 100% for bam bam.
This type of ´malarky´ should only take place in the former USSR, Cuba and Venezuela.

A lot of these voting machines are still being made by Diebold under a different name. But since Obama won,they´re all honest machines now.My guess is these Philly voting machines were all rigged to flip Romney votes,not that nobody voted for him.

One thing you need to know about liberals is if they´re cheating in one area of the country,it´s actually all over.

Notice how absolutely nothing happened to teachers erasing wrong test scores,instead they blamed it on NCLB.The fact that there was widespread cheating is irrelevant.

At least Ryan has the guts to speak out on this.Some of these wards also had 99% turnout rates which also suggests cheating but no investigation. Send a nasty e mail and you will be investigated then.

I wish Romney would turn his loss into a mission for ensuring honest elections. Ryan, being a statistics guy, ought to be a great partner in this. If the Dems can steal this election for the worst president ever how will we ever win again? Even the best candidate ever can´t win if the voting machines are pre-programmed for the Demos.

No need to teach Greek/Roman history in our school system, none whatsoever. Teach little Johnnie and Mary all about dealing with their feelings, diversity and gay marriage. Tear down all major institutions, including Lance Armstrong´s many wins. Don´t go by the rules that were in place, bring in your new rules and make them retroactive on all those you never liked, those winners who bet you are your own games...

I personally know a black voter from the East Side of Cleveland one of the polls that was 100% for the worst president in US history who voted for Romney. I saw his ballot he voted by mail. Ryan sounds ready to take on this shameless voter theft. Romney probably figures f$@k it. Let Zero´s "voters" pay. Zero has already thrown gays and food stamp nation aside. He "won".

There is no such thing as a perfect vacuum and there is no voting district in the US that does not contain at least one contrarian. This is blinding voter fraud.

Voter fraud? Well, could be. Would it be any better if Romney had gotten less than 1 per cent?

The better explanation is that it represents tribal behavior on the part of a certain portion of the electorate in Philadelphia (and the same, or close to it, in some other big cities).

I´m not sure it´s any better than voter fraud when it comes down to it.

Consider how many stupid, illiterate dregs were included in the 19,605 who cast ballots in these Philadelphia districts. Then establish odds that not even one of them mistakenly voted for Romney. My chances on the lottery this week must be substantially better.

It is not realistic to believe that not a single person in 59 Philly districts voted for Romney. This is as blatant a case of voter fraud, probably by machine-tampering, as there has ever been.

Is anyone paying attention out there? Oh, GOP? You there?

There was massive Demonrat cheating occurring all over the country in a dozen different ways from thousands of deep-sixed military votes to voting machine fraud to polling place intimidation to bogus voter registrations to flipped votes to bussed-in illegals to voting more than once to nationwide SEIU/NAACP thuggery, etc, etc!

Fraud or some very, very heavy intimidation, which is just as illegitimate. When I lived in Chicago I´d come across both black and white people who were convinced their ballot was not secret and they could get into trouble with city/county employees if they didn´t vote straight Democrat. Even then the Democrats weren´t stupid. They´d have at least two Republican votes per precinct to make the "Republican" election judges look legit.

As the US and China grow increasingly involved, Kim Jong-un must be brought into line if war is not to be triggered by an act of recklessness. There are two schools of thought about what lies behind North Korea’s increasingly frenzied posturing. The first goes like this: the rhetoric emanating from Pyongyang--including calls to “break the waists of the crazy enemies [and] totally cut their windpipes”--is no worse than their decades-old ritualistic promises to turn South Korea into a “sea of fire”. What we are witnessing, according to this theory, is nothing more than an inexperienced leader

North Korea’s young leader Kim Jong-un is waiting for United States President Barack Obama to make a phone call to Pyongyang to discuss easing tensions on the Korean peninsula, according to Russia’s news agency Itar-Tass.

Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”
