There were many factors that hurt Mitt Romney and favored Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election. The Democrats portrayed Romney in the worst light possible; as a wealthy, out of touch millionaire who wanted to return women to the 1800′s. The left wing media predictably did everything it could to perpetuate that false caricature. Obama’s race was an advantage; voters of all persuasions, particularly minorities, still cannot get over the allure of the first black president. The 47% of Americans on welfare were predisposed to vote for the food stamp president over Romney, wanting the free goodies to keep on giving, despite the long-term unsustainability.
In spite of those odds, polls indicated that Romney was going to win the election. The economy is close to Great Depression era conditions, and unemployment is almost as high as when Obama entered office. Economic conditions became so dire after Obama took office it prompted the rise of an entire new movement, the Tea Party. Presidents rarely win reelection when the economy is in the tank.
I noticed how everyone on this blog thought Romney was a shoe in,including myself.

These people think it is OK for Obama to watch four Americans get murdered in Benghazi and do absolutely nothing about it.
This not news we all know the only way Obama could win is thru use of fraud after all he hired corrupt Chicago Gangsters to complete his crime
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, it wasn't 47% on welfare, it was those who don't pay income tax. You forget that group includes retirees, vets, seniors,etc. Please stop posting such ignorant comments. Posted by white female member of the 1% and an Obama voter. And yes, Romney would have been better for my tax bracket, but no way could I vote for a ticket with Paul Ryan on it.

ReplyDeleteIs that so? Please, tell me more about how not one intelligent hard working person voted for Obama.
"Please, tell me more about how not one intelligent hard working person voted for Obama."
ReplyDeleteWhat do you need to know?
And I couldn't vote for a ticket that included Biden. I know that whites voted for Obama, some very intelligent and well off whites, I just don't understand why.
ReplyDeleteQuestion for all you Romney voters. If Obama voter are so 'uneducated'and 'welfare proned' what does that say about you? To me it says that you got beat out by a bunch of dropouts, dummies, alchy's, and druggies. Also it says that your own kind doesn't even believe enough in Romney or there is not enough of you hippies.
ReplyDeleteWell said 9:16.I think they just belived in Obama more than romney...AND it wans't enough of them they were working REMEMBER. Lol
