47. "46. Thank you, and obviously the Republicans did not steal 2012"
Sat Nov 24, 2012, 02:46 AM
Nov 2012

That's all I need to see. It is the very thing which supports my premise.

So just what are you arguing about? That there was a stolen election which was not stolen?

For Christ sakes! Either it was stolen or it was not. Obama won in all but one of the so-called battleground states. The exception was North Carolina.

What about that says "stolen by Republicans"?

A year ago even Democratic Party leaders said we would be lucky to hold the US Senate. Yet, thanks to Patty Murray, and Barack Obama, and the idiots in the Republican Party, the Democrats gained two seats in the US Senate. So what about this indicates that Republicans stole this election?

The Democrats defeated many teabag Republicans in the House as well, in spite of the 2010 redistricting which severely stacked the deck against us. I think it may be ten seats gained. Most prominently, it includes Tammy Duckworth easily beating Joe Walsh in Illinois, Allen West going down in FL, and progressive DUer Alan Grayson return to the House, also in FL.

The count in the House is still uncertain, but ten is likely.

So what part of this indicates that Republicans stole this election.

It seems to me that Democrats plastered the Republicans in this election. So why do so many DUers continue screech about stolen elections, or stolen election conspiracies (which, by the way, never happened)? Huh?

Read my first post in this thread again. There was never going to be a stolen election this year. I knew it months ago, really years ago. But no matter what My argument, the screechers continued with "they're gonna steal it!!!!" like chicken littles. Even after Obama won easily, they are still screeching that the sky is falling!

The sky fell, my Chicken Little friends. But let me catch you all up to date on current affairs. It fell on Mitt Romney, and it did so big time.

That's all the more I have to say about this. If you still disagree that Romney and Rove didn't steal this election, I have nothing else to disabuse you of it than to ask, why the fuck did they lose so badly?

My opinion; I think the polls were skewed that way for a purpose, and that purpose (if things had teddy51 Nov 2012 #1
