Why did Mitt Romney lose?

[Iangould]

Read point 18 on Inferno's list apparently "all the above points" (including the points specifically referring to other states) "happened here''.

Apart from anything else, we can conclude that unless Inferno lives in sheboygan, he's simply cut and pasted some other individual's rant.

but of course that's what the international bankers/psychic vampires/British royal family/Al Qaeda cospiracy pays me to write.

Nominating Ron Paul, that would have made the GOP successful

But to stay on topic, you would have to state this as -- "Mitt Romney lost lost because he is not Ron Paul. "

True fact, but still rather an existential point.

This link has some numbers re: -- The Ron Paul Effect: How the GOP Threw the Election By Disenfranchising Ron Paul Supporters http://www.policymic.com/articles/18...aul-supporters

New analysis reveals that in no less than five states, Romney’s margin of loss to President Obama in the general election was less than the number of votes received by Ron Paul in that state’s primary.

Because, obviously none of those Ron Paul primary voters would have gone on to vote from romney.

Of course, if we apply the same logic; had Ron Paul been nominated none of the Romney primary voters (who outnumbered the Ron Paul supporters) would have voted for Ron Paul in the general election.

Face it paranoid racists just aren't that big a voting bloc.

So those clever bastards at anonymous forged the e-mail in which the Romney campaign called Orca an "app"

No, that's not what the article is about at all. Are you misrepresenting the article intentionally, or just typing nonsense without reading anything? The story is about how Anonymous stopped Rove's operation from rerouting official vote-counting software from servers in Ohio to servers in Chatanooga.

he's simply cut and pasted

What tipped you off, the prominent citation at the beginning?

This is a straw man of course, and not the logic used at all. If one reads another paragraph or two more, the other factors are explained.

It is apparent you have the attention span of a gnat this evening.

It's uncanny...minus the coat and tie.

I'm giving the material the attention it deserves given the source.

I'm not debating you. I'm mocking you.

You don't think the GOP, who spent about 752 million dollars, wanted the candidate most likely to win? Can you imagine the amount of thought that went into them choosing that candidate? Do you actually think they snubbed Ron Paul, wasted a billion dollars, and gifted the whitehouse to the other side, just because Ron Paul is so... whatever Ron Paul supporters think he is?

A Rasmussen poll. They've been on a roll lately, huh?

I believe he thinks that the Republicans and Democrats are both controlled by the Lizard People, which make you wonder why there were competing efforts to rig the election (supposedly). You'd think that George Soros and Prince Philip having decided over a few pints of virgin's blood who they were going to instal as their new puppet would have told the other group of slaves not to try and bollix it all up.

Don't talk to me about lizard people. I had to come up with some kind of pseudo-making sense blather to go with Jesse Ventura investigating lizard people conspiracies, because that's what the f'n job is.

For the record, he ends up thinking lizard people are fake, but that a Tesla-derived death ray was used to blow up the World Trade Center.

The bitter tears of former Marvel comics and "Obamanation" racist web comics writer, James D. Hudnall, are like sweet, sweet nectar.





Which side was it that spent more on this election again?

I know he's determined to make me stop rereading my copy of Lex Luthor: an Unauthorized Biography, but I'm just not going to, no matter how nutty he gets.

The Obama ground game everyone is praising also had strong voter registration drives in minority areas and on college campuses. I had three Obama volunteers stop by my house and ask to talk with my daughter (19 yo female college student, likely Obama voter).

There's an idea...volunteer to canvass for politicians trying to appeal to the female 18-34 demo...

Were they the actual ballots or voter registration forms?

I didn't hear about this so I don't know, but throwing away either is illegal. One throws away a vote directly and the other prevents somebody from voting. If you think that a voter registration form is fraudulent, you're still supposed to give it to the elections office and give them a heads-up, but let them sort it out.

That was an awesome book, and my boyfriend swears that Strikeforce Morituri was one of the best Marvel series ever.... But his Alpha Flight stunk IMHO.

C'mon, people, just ignore the little paranoid hate-troll.
