WHY ROMNEY LOST?

[king4cash]

Mitt lost because Obama and Nancy Pelocy created a entitlement societ of dependends. It started with the long unemployment payment period, then the free Obama cell phones, and other programs that will be coming onboard. How can you beat the free mentality idea. This will only happen when the country runs out of earning potential.

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.    .

I wonder how many of us here receiving aide to help feed they families. I don't think they will say the same about wanting free handouts just so they could live off the Gov. I just don't understand why people keep bringing up this stupid idea of wanting welfare and instead need it to survive and is a added source to what their part time job is paying or even a full time job and its just not enough. Free cell phones came out with Bush not Obama. This is just stereotyping people who are in need. Ill accept help to feed my son over a free cellphone any day. People are really in need of help. No one wants to rely on Gov. I think all want a job, those who do not have one. I feel sorry for the people who keep using these useless excuses to make like Romney was for all the people. I do not buy it and many Americans do not either since is why Obama won. To say most who voted for Obama want these handouts is saying that most of the 55 million people who voted for him are sponging off the Gov. and that is just simply not true. Momoney555 I agree there is a lot of intelligent people in this country.

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!!!

I wish instead of making comments and stating things like this people would just look to the future and try to make good of it. Most of the minorities are not on soem type of government assistance. We work a job some 2, just like everyone else trying to make a living. The middle class is larger than people seem to realize and Romney was not concerned about them. Government assistance is not only for those that don't work, it helps out college students, elderly, as well as single parents. If a woman has 3 kids and works a job, she still may need help to maintain and i see nohing wrong with that. Everyone could use a little help now and then.
Why Romney Lost? He didn't pay attention to the women and children or the middle class. He wanted to make it easier for the rich.
I just hope everyone can move forward and work together. Stand as one instead of being divided. President Obama doesn't make all the decisions. He has to answer to people as well. Lets just focus on the future and try to make it better for the generations to come.

That's part of it, and let's not forget about the rampant voter fraud across the nation.  I really wonder how many illegals, dead people, animals, and cartoon characters voted this time?

Stop, just stop.  Voter fraud is almost non-existent in the country.  Stop spreading your faux news uninformed BS.

Glad he lost!   

[monnee]

Because Obama received more votes.   

[vickysue]

I think he lost because most republicans couldn't get to the voting polls after they got off work. before they closed or the door was closed on them even when they were standing in line. Take it anyway you want and No most of us are not ignorant just the working class trying to change the system.

[kcoleman2]

The republicans are the ones with the 9-5 jobs. Why would doors get closed on them to vote? They had before 9 and after 5? The democrats are the ones working 12 hours shifts, and 2 jobs. They don't have carpooling after school and nanny. They do it all. Everyone needs to stop with their stupid statements that are not facts. How can this country change if the people won't change? Take it any way you would like but i'm a democrat, i work a full time job with no assistance, and i know alot of people just like me. Its not democrat or republican, its being a human and living in America!!

One of the reasons Romney lost that has not been mentioned here is that the Obama people ran a much more effective ground campaign than the Romney people.  From what I have read so far those who worked for the Obama campaign made the calls, knocked on the doors, spoke to the people earlier and more often than the Romney people.  Apparently the Romney campaign noted the large number of attendees at their rallies and thought they would be OK.  The Obama workers did more of the nuts-and-bolts work--and it paid off.

It is also worth noting that a LOT of people simply seemed determined to vote--despite long lines and hinky machines.  it would not surprise me if a lot of those voters took the "47%" comment to heart and mustered up enough determination to overcome the obstacles and cast their vote.  Me, I had no trouble voting; I was in and out of the polling place in 15 minutes.  I greatly admire those who voted even when it was inconvenient and uncomfortable to do so.

For the record, I voted for Obama.  I live in a very red state, and I knew how that would go, but that really isn't the point.  I voted for my beliefs and my hope (not my fear), and I feel privileged to have been able to do so.

[vp44]

dauna that was a well said comment. Your right about Obama's team getting out there knocking on doors and making them calls. Also one more thing here on FC there was a video we kept getting 1 cent to watch. Things like that was excellent way of Obama staying in the public's view.

I think Romney lost because he appeared to (at least to me) be focused on big business interest only. Regardless of the adds that ran, his focus seemed to be very one-sided.

who cares? obama and romney were both idiots

I guess the "entitlement" community now out numbers the "racist/homophobic, good ole boys" community

LOL....I'll take my chances with the entitlements since that includes people on Soc. Sec., Veterans, students.  If I have to pay taxes, I'd rather have my taxes going in that direction than lining the already full pockets of the wealthy.
