30 Really Lame Republican Excuses For Losing The Election

Excuses, excuses.

It was quite apparent to the American people that Mitt Romney was going to be a puppet for right wing extremists once they heard about Grover Norquist’s statement (illustrated above) during his speech at CPAC 2012…

Addicting Info

Republicans suck at math. They can’t figure out polling. They can’t figure out that pandering to only around 25% of the populace, the white and the bigoted, isn’t going to win them elections.

The Republican whine fest since losing the Presidential election on Tuesday has been a source of amusement to many on the left. They’re scrambling; trying to figure out why it happened. Where did they go wrong? Michael Hammond at RedState.com thinks he has the answer. Actually 30 of them, to be exact. Since it would probably be called plagiarism for me to copy/paste his post into mine, I’ll simply interpret his 30 reasons. You can read them for yourself, if you’d like. In fact, I’d recommend it.

  1. The Democrats picked Mitt Romney. Republicans would have won with Sarah Palin or Newt Gingrich. Huh?
  2. Only conservative Republicans win – the first example, Nixon. The word “conservative” has changed so dramatically that the environmentalist Richard Nixon would still have been to the left of Romney. Argument: FAIL
  3. Republicans in Congress should have shut down the government and stopped funding the IRS in case they want to fine people for not paying Obamacare premiums. Sorry but Obamacare’s mandate doesn’t kick in till 2014. This one’s just dumb.
  4. Paul Ryan voted to fund Obamacare during the campaign. Okay, I sort of get how this could piss some Republican voters off.
  5. Some rambling passage about Obamacare and the debt ceiling. 
  6. Congress didn’t hate on Obamacare enough. 
  7. Romney invented Obamacare. Duh.
  8. Mitch McConnell doesn’t love guns enough. Harry Reid does.
  9. Job-Creators don’t create jobs. Okay, he didn’t say that, exactly, but he did say the term was terrible.
  10. Obamacare and taxes. Blah blah blah.
  11. They didn’t go negative enough. I’ll let you ponder that one.
  12. Democrats are mean to Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann (who would supposedly cut into the Democratic base, if given a chance), but Republicans aren’t mean enough to Joe Biden. 
  13. Mitt Romney didn’t give giant bear hugs to Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock.
  14. Abortion doctors are evil and Obama burns babies in China. 
  15. Romney was pro-choice (or something).
  16. Republicans tried too hard to appeal to pro-choice, female Democrats. Huh?
  17. Mitch McConnell was mean to Todd Akin. 
  18. Republicans overestimated the amount of influence the unemployment rate would have on the election. He’s right.
  19. They forgot to tell people that Obama’s the reason they don’t have a job. Oh, and that he’s done a lot of historical things. Or maybe he meant that Obama’s black.
  20. Being a business man isn’t enough and Romney’s an arrogant jerk. I gotta agree with him here.
  21. Mitch McConnell forgot to make sure the Senate only voted on God, Guns and Gays.  
  22. John Boehner wasn’t obstructionist enough. 
  23. Boehner didn’t throw away more resources on Fast and Furious.
  24. They didn’t talk about the fact that Obamacare gives free abortions to everyone. Because it doesn’t.
  25. They don’t hate on John Roberts enough. Cause, you know, he didn’t overturn Obamacare.
  26. Something else about Obamacare.
  27. Romney flip-flopped on Obamacare. 
  28. They dropped the ball after the first debate. 
  29. “Libya, Libya, Libya” didn’t work. I could have told you that.
  30. Obama’s a nice guy. Only he’s not a nice guy. He’s actually an arrogant, socialist, Kenyan, Maoist, fascist, communist and Republicans forgot to tell all the stupid people who thought he was a nice guy. 

I really have to wonder if Hammond witnessed the same election I did. Mitt Romney lost because Republicans have no ideas. They tried to alienate more than 50% of the population. Their candidate was a stiff-as-a-board plutocrat and, most importantly, Obama is, and has always been, the moderate most of the country is looking for.

Sore Loser Secessionists Let Out A Rebel Whine With White House Petitions

Perhaps they’ll want some cheese with that “whine”…

Addicting Info

Nothing says I hate democracy like this White House petition started by Michael E. from Slidell, LA the day after Obama was elected President of the United States of America.

we petition the obama administration to:

Peacefully grant the State of Louisiana to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government.

As the founding fathers of the United States of America made clear in the Declaration of Independence in 1776:

“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”

“…Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and institute new Government…”

And whining cry babies in eighteen other states have joined them in stamping their feet and declaring that they don’t want to be our friends anymore because their candidate wasn’t victorious. Texas had to brag that their state is the 15th largest economy in the world and Oregon added that they still want to remain an ally, but for the most part the wording on the majority of the petitions is similar to Louisiana’s. Even if one of these petitions happens to get the 25,000 signatures needed, it’s doubtful that they are going to receive any response from the White House other than, “No!” Which is appropriate to tell any child having a temper tantrum.

But in case the secessionist path doesn’t work, the Obama haters have another petition out there as well from Jana W., APO, AE.

we petition the obama administration to:

Recount the election!

It has become blatantly obvious the voter fraud that was committed during the 2012 Presidential elections.  In one county alone in Ohio, which was a battleground state, President Obama received 106,258 votes…but there were only 98,213 eligible voters.  It’s not humanly possible to get 108% of the vote!

If ID laws had been enforced (which the administration is completely against because that meant they would lose) then this wouldn’t be an issue.

Recount NOW!

108% of the vote?! That didn’t sound right to me so I did a little more checking. According toclashdaily.net this astounding vote total happened in Wood County, Ohio so I checked their vote counts and found that 31596 votes were cast for Obama, a percentage of 50.9%. Once again the wing nut echo chamber has pulled some lie out of their ass and found almost 10,000 people gullible enough to sign a White House petition based on this phony story. For anyone who thought the right-wing bubble might finally burst and let a few facts in, these asinine petitions should put that idea to rest.
