Mitt Romney Gets 2 Million Fewer Votes than John McCain Did in 2008

Wow pretty big deal, the republican party lost 2 million votes compared to last election , Newt Gingrich was in the today show talking about this

The base is tired of moderates. Been saying this for a while.

The base nominated Romney who went far to the right of Gingrich and Perry and santorum on some issues

Your wrong

Been saying it for a while now

Why would "republicans" listen to someone who wants them to fail? You obviously don't know and aren't apart of it. There was an extremely weak group of candidates. Run a true conservative or tea party candidate and they'l win.

You're wrong and the election showed it.

Ya I'm wrong, at least I can clearly follow polling data and statistics you live in a conservative fantasy land
Don't listen to me listen to your own party twerp, perry, Santorum, Christie, limvaugh all came out and said you have to court the minority vote or become the minority party

This election showed you the republican party isn't nutty enough? How many tea party members lost ?
This is almost comical how clueless you are, wish I could have seen your face when Pennsylvania, Iowa and new Hampshire came in , repubs convinced themselves there was something called a silent majority out there
Hahah, so when la the big protalotariat revolution coming ?

true, but whats the point? what about Obama getting 8 million fewer votes?

That has everything to do with 2008 turn out, 61% voted in that election was down to 57% and generally presidents dont win reelection in an economy like this so the fact that he won at all speaks volumes to how the country feels about him

Meanwhile Mott Romney couldn't Ren fire up his base more than McCain could, why is that? Because the base is shrinking, republicans didn't add a single percentage to voters where democrats added more African Americans, Latinos, youth vote and women.

In other words demand are expanding while republicans shrinking

Holy shit. I went to the doctor and he measured my at 5'5" 150 pounds. I was 5'11" 180 pounds just 4 years ago.

So republicans are actually shrinking ? Lol

This is how bird operates. He posts outlandish BS and talking points. Someone repsonds and usually brings common sense or asks a question then bird ignores and posts more talking points or random links.

Ron Paul?

U act like it's dem's voting for these moderates in the repub primary. If the base wants a true conservative, and a true conservative would win presidency, then freaking put a true conservative on the ballot.

Called bullshit when "true conservatives" balked at Paul. Phonies.

Also the republicans dideeetthing they could to suppress the vote, closing polls early and suspending early voting in several states

The RNC decided to screw Ron Paul at the Convention and Romney and the boys paid dearly for it.I and many others either voted third party or stayed home.

So in your opinion Obama was a better option then Romney?

Gary Johnson was the best available option.There was very little difference between Romney and Obama and the debates clearly pointed this out.They both are advocates of endless war,socialized medicine and bigger government,NDAA,drone strikes that kill untold innocent women and children etc...I could go on and on,but what would be the point?

A vote for anyone but Romney is a vote for Obama. Only 2 candidates had any chance of winning. Sounds like you did the right thing by not voting and wasting your time since in your opinion Romney and Obama are equal.

If there is little difference between the two,then a vote for "Mittens" would have been a waste as well.

There was enough of a difference for me. They weren't identical just similar. I voted for Romney.

You and I will have to agree to diisagree on this one.At least we kept at a civil and respectable level.
