Hearing that Romney got fewer votes than McCain just rang false for me. Well that is because in Colorado he got over 100,000 more votes than McCain did in 2008. If those had been flipped votes the state would have gone to Romney. But the Dems dug out more O-zombie votes in Denver, Boulder and Larimer counties for Barry than they lost to Romeny. Even in Denver county, Romney got 10K more votes than McCain. But the machines say 24K more folks voted in 2012 than 2008 and Barry picked up 14K additional votes to Romney's 10K gain.
Oh well. I had feared that a Romney win but the D's holding the senate might be awful. They did hold the senate as well as Barry getting more votes so perhaps the Dem's will own the mess they are creating in spite of the MarxSpewMedia's efforts to pin it on the conservatives. I think the country has passed into the point where folks are voting in politicians to raid the 'national treasury' to hand out trinkets to the masses* --that 200 year lifespan that democracies and democratic republics tend to have. The only question is how long will it take to break down completely and how many years of misery will follow the breakdown. I think we got some extra time by being a republic but the rule of law and republic protections are eroding fast from my perspective so I think that we will soon see the cycle complete with a slide into tyranny.
