Im more upset with the GOP not being able to put forth a candidate thats able to beat him.

With all due respect, thats a far too simplistic answer and one that fits a Fox News narrative.

Hooked, you are right, but at the same it is too simplistic. You are absolutely correct about a compliant media giving Obama a pass both on Benghazi and Gun Walking for that matter. The fat cunt Candy Crowder during the second debate saved Obama's ass. Then Obama was given a fortune's worth of positive face time walking hand in hand with fat ass Chris Cristie after Sandy. That was probably what ultimately decided the election.

But on the other hand, the Chicago machine who created Obama ran a remarkable campaign. They spent the summer painting Romney as an uncaring multi-millionaire and he never shook that picture. Then they did a remarkable job plumbing social media sights and connecting with individual voters to sell their story to individual voters. They motivated their base in a way I never thought they could, turned social issues against Romney even if he was clearly a social moderate and turned possible Republican voters to vote for the loser and suppressed the Republican vote. I wish I could find the article that detailed how they did it , but the way they used the the modern electronic access to personal information was frankly brilliant.

If they can continue to repeat what they did in this election; then we are completely fucked as a country. It won't matter who the Republicans nominate.

That's the truth. All the talk I heard from my father about "making your own way" and just taking responsibility are seemingly a thing of the past. I never thought the United States would come to this.

Get use to it old fogey. Your party is for old out of touch males.

I'm guessing swallows.

A lot of "loser" shows through on your post.

Level that playing field partner.

The people that took the risks, worked hard, lived the American dream and essentially built this country must be vilified.

Interesting premise - successful people don't need your kind of loser. However, the very existence of your "social justice" programs require us to survive.

Be a jackass. Bite that hand that feeds you.

Obama received at least 95% of the black vote.

Unemployment among young black males is something like 17%. Obama is not helping that community but, at least he's half black. Jeesh. What a sad state of affairs.

Republicans arent smart.

At least we're not racist trolls like you.

No offense, bobbers1, I'm not looking for a congratulations.. I am just trying to relay a point that you can't lump all people who support the current President in one big cesspool of welfare and entitled Americans. He is who we have currently and it won't change as much as you would like for it to so I will try to be supportive in the things I think he is doing right and openly question the stupid decisions as well. I am lucky enough to have two jobs, although considered lower paying by some, they do pay the bills and that is more than some people can currently claim. I wasn't confident that Romney would have had any more solutions to our problems than our current President.

As far as me not understanding the repercussions, although I can't quite determine if that's a shot at me or not, I WILL not vote along any party line just because a bunch of politicians and their supporters say or think I should without actually looking at the candidate first. I will however vote for the candidate who I believe will do the country best. It just so happened that neither one of them seemed to pull ahead when it came down to it. In fact, although I don't agree with some of his crazy ****, Ron Paul had my attention the most. I just would love some common sense when it came to decision and policy making.

Just seems more and more to me that instead of "class" warfare initiated by the government, both sides of media are doing a better job at stirring up more of a political party warfare among all Americans for TV / Radio ratings.

Also Bob, the economic "lower and middle class" make up a majority of the population in the US. So would you say in this case democracy failed? There's something to be said about that statement alone unless I misinterpreted it. I could understand if you believe people were "misguided" though, but both sides of the aisle pull the same tactics. Lets also keep this civil, I am not a huge fan of internet message board trashing/trolling.
