This may strike some folks as rubbing salt in the wound...
Just did this quick math of Obama's margin in key states.
Virginia
107,339
Ohio
100,763
Florida
47,493
Colorado
111,094
Nevada
66,379
Total
433,068
So for less than 500,000 votes where it counted, Romney could have had 281 electoral votes this morning.
In other words, convincing 1/10th of one percent of the American population to vote for fiscal rectitude would have changed the course of history.
Mandate my ass. And if you think this razor-thin margin will make Barack Obama more willing to cooperate with the 49.99% of Americans who voted against him, well, I've got some land on the Whitewater River in Arkansas I'd like to sell you.
Can't fix stupid....the takers out number the makers...take your seat and buckle up, we are in for some BIG turbulence.
ReplyDeleteHow the @#$!& did this happen??
ReplyDeleteWho didn't go out and vote !!??!!
What might be even more incredible and maddening, is that 1/10th probably will tell you they want smaller and less government interference, lower taxes....and voted for Obama because??? He sounds so good? I'll have no patience or understanding when their buyer's remorse sets in---again. I fact I might pretty much launch at them.
ReplyDeleteAmerica 1776-2012 R.I.P. The grand experiment is dead.
ReplyDeleteGood point!
ReplyDeleteAs I wrote elsewhere today, about the only peaceful way left to fix this mess is to starve the beast.
We have to find a way to send less money to Washington.
Less money? HAHAHAHA Good one K-Bob. Ole Ben will just turn on the magical printing press.
