WHY ROMNEY LOST?

[vp44]

Looking back on the past months. I must say that Romney lost because he did not reach out to all the American people. Gay's of America, Blacks of America, Other than religion Americans. Religion is not something all wish to share with the world other than with they Church, which is where religion should be left at. Most of all the 47% of Americans that are actually in need of jobs. Americans who need a President who thinks similar to us and not someone who thinks they know better than us but try to understand our level. Voter's who was suppressed by Republicans saying stop early voting or must have driver license ID but accept one who can provide state ID or proof of citizenship. Not 100% sure on what that was about. Robocalls saying vote Nov 7th on the day of Nov 6th voting in All of America. Voting machines who when you pressed for Obama, Romney name lit up. When you have a crooked force after you to corrupt you and try to make you useless. This is something that Our fathers of President's before them would see like just really how far have we come to equality. Not very far. He just didn't understand most of America who didn't have Parents pay for they college or people who give all they inheritance to church if that's what really happened, or Americans who can ask they Parents for money to start a business. It just wasn't something he could understand from the poor or the middle class because frankly I don't think he asked us or spoke to us. What are your thoughts on this and also how Obama and Christie handled Sandy Storm, and what could have Romney done more to show support of victims of a tragedy. Fema and other things he wanted to cut.

I'm curious about your comment about the 47% of Americans that are actually in need of jobs.  Even if you assume a margin of error in the unemployment rate, this is greatly inflated.

Not  really basing it on actual amount of people who in need. Its a number Romney put out there and one of the reason why he didn't get elected. I'm curious to see if you can rationalize where he came up with number.

[nhendrickson]

Oh, I see what you mean now.  I don't think you can rationalize that percentage even if you count people who may be underemployed, who have given up on finding a job, or taken an early retirement due to companies that are downsizing.  I hope that was a misstatement rather than an attempt to bamboozle the American public.

[vmcutshall]

I don't know where he got that number either but it was stated in the campaign that Romney's companies did a lot of out sourcing for jobs, over seas.

Well I guess Romney was trying to attempt to bamboozle the American people then because like I said he came up with that number. Still wondering where he got it from, can you explain that.

[tinajacksonville]

No he lost because there were to many people that want the government to support them instead of them going back to work for their money!!!

47% of Americans pay no federal income tax.

You don't know about what is going on in everyone's household. So you cant speak on that.

There are many reasons why people wanI ted to re-elect a President like Obana.  I am very sad and depressed as I feel our country will crumble under his direction unless he changes from the direction he was heading prior to  his re-election.

[hitch0403]

People say Romney lost because there are too may immigrants,Latinos,blacks....

But ahhhhhhhhh...it is the rich who want to pay the immigrants cheaper wages...what hippocrites.There are just as many citizens of this country that wanna live off the fat of the land as immigrants.

In the long haul it doesnt matter anyway.Its a matter of time before this system is a memory.

One big reason Governor Romney lost the election was because over the course of his campaign, he managed to alienate (*bleep* off) at least 50% of the people who probably would have voted for him initially.  Something that no experienced politician would do.  He later tried to change that but the damage had already been done.  The 47% comment he made was caught on tape when he was talking to a group of his wealthy donors when he thought the rest of America could not hear him. He was not talking about the unemployed only,  he was talking about people on Social Security who have paid taxes all their lives, veterans who have fought in wars for their country, students trying to better themselves, and some others in the middle class who for various reasons are exempt from paying taxes.  While his wealthy, hypocrite but gets away with not paying his fair share of taxes on his billions and hiding money in foreign banks to avoid taxation.  Governor Romney was relying  on "the Good Ole Boy" network to put him over the top but he sadly found out that that racist, anti women institution does not run america anymore. He also made negative comments about Latinos in that speech.  Most intelligent voters were influenced by what they heard him say. Apparently a lot of FC posters voted for him never even knowing what he said.   How sad.

  romney lost because of the minority voters mostly went with obama. most of them are on some type of government entitlement and they just want to receive money from government programs.

No.... being equally as facetious as you are...Romney lost because mostly ignorant people voted for him and there are more intelligent people in America than ignorant people.     .
