I have formed the opinion that those who voted for the candidates who had no
hope of winning, then brag about it, are part of the problem, and do not
accomplish whatever they are trying to do. In the first place, I only know who
you voted for because you told us; I don’t have any way to verify what you say,
nor to find out who you voted for in the first place.  Secondly, what is
accomplished by the “protest vote”?  I don’t know offhand how
many votes were given to candidates who didn’t have a prayer of winning, but,
if it was enough to allow Obama to win, then those who voted that way in effect
voted for Obama.  When the day ends, that is the fact that matters. 
And I don’t believe any of you really believe Obama is a better President than
Romney would have been.

I don’t know Romney personally, but I did have the chance to see up close the
effects of what he did when he ran the winter Olympics in Utah.  He was
criticized by some for being one way, then by others for being the
opposite.  Overall, he did a great job of managing the mess and turning it
from a disaster to a historic success for Olympic tournaments.  I don’t
think he set out to be popular, though he was with those who knew him. He just
doesn’t pursue popularity, which probably cost him the election, if he ever had
a chance against the Obama cult machine. It bothers me when people judge his
potential as President by looking only at his ego, which he by nature tries to
keep under control. If Romney had won, and Obama had permitted the election to
count, the country could look forward to steady progress against the disasters
which Obama’s masters are dictating to him, then they are forced on us often
WITHOUT DUE PROCESS AS SPECIFIED BY LAW.  If Americans were even a little
like their ancestors, they would impeach him now. But then, we’d just have
another disaster in the White House, who would also do the bidding of Obama’s
masters, so I guess there isn’t much point now. 
We can’t impeach the entire Democratic Party, after all ……. Wait a
minute, that is really a GOOD IDEA!

“And now: back to your regularly scheduled litany of failure.”
Sheez, why must you pass judgement on everyone who posts here?

You may be surprised, Lorraine.  Americans are still unlike most other people; once a people has tasted liberty, as many Americans still remember what it was like, they are not very willing to give it up, even at the peril of their own lives.  If Obama or his successors are dumb enough to try this, well, I would not bet on their “side”.

Besides, why would he need to risk that?  The lazy Americans are willing to do whatever he says NOW, as long as he can convince them of another lie, which he has so far been very good at doing.  Why risk civil war when he gets all he wants now?
 
I wonder what I would do.  I think I would rebel, but, when I think of all those who would be endangered if I did, well, I am not as certain.  I think they would want me to, so perhaps it will not be such a tough choice.
