View Full Version : Who won Florida?
...Mitt Romney's campaign said that President Barack Obama won the state of Florida in the race for the White House.
The Miami Herald reports that Romney adviser Brett Doster said in a statement, "The numbers in Florida show this was winnable," and added, "We thought based on our polling and range of organization that we had done what we needed to win. Obviously, we didn’t, and for that I and every other operative in Florida has a sick feeling that we left something on the table. I can assure you this won’t happen again."

Mandate? Clearly wrong. And you'll be clearly disappointed by the lack of ability this admin has to get anything done.
Remember your disappointment in Obama before the campaign swung into action? The fact he didn't accomplish anything? Rewind that tape, history repeats itself

Bill Clinton just called, your arithmetic sucks. Obama rec'd only 50.6% of the vote
50% of the vote...No mandate for YOU!
Mandate? :lol: :lol:
Back to the original thread ?
Florida is still counting today, I heard?
Or should I say Flori-duh!
What is so hard about voting that Florida can never figure it out?
Seriously, do they purposely hire morons to run thier voting?
Not sure how many are familiar with the old mechanical booths NY used to use, but I thought there was not better mthod - fast, you were sure of your vote (unless you wre a totally idiot!) and you knew your vote counted when you pulled open the curtain. I fail to see how our new scanned ballots are better. I thing they have a far greter chance of being compromised than the old ones.
I discussed this at length with an offical when I voted and commented that his ballots sucked. He pointed out the double color-coded twist ties that protected the count and explained how the machine were already being impounded for this election as there was a close race.......nothing could go wrong.
I laughed.
I left.

Florida was just called for Obama by NBC and this......
The Florida Secretary of State's Office said that with almost 100 percent of the vote counted, Obama led Republican challenger Mitt Romney 50 percent to 49.1 percent, a difference of about 74,000 votes. That was over the half-percent margin where a computer recount would have been automatically ordered unless Romney had waived it.
If not a mandate, a landslide. Dickie Morris was right! :)

Yes, they purposely hire morons to run the voting. The harder they make it to vote, the less ballots are cast.

Still, with the 7th grade nonsense I see.......Hard to swallow I guess, getting less than 51% of the vote - 50%. No mandate. So sorry
Still, with the 7th grade nonsense I see.......Hard to swallow I guess, getting less than 51% of the vote - 50%. No mandate. So sorryI think Obama will be able to get more done with congress. Although you will never admit you got hosed big time, I think most repugs see the writing on the wall. Except of course for some die hards in the TP who are even more reactionary than you.
Meanwhile I did not see you concede that the data from the Tax Foundation was recent enough to support the fact, that Blue states NOW tow Red state anchors, and have for 20 years plus.
You guys will not like this, but it describes once again how the right wing media was in denial.

"Calling all 50 states the day before the election as Nate Silver did is one thing — predicting President Obama’s winning majority 10 years in advance is hard to top.
But that’s what Ruy Teixeira did. Since 2002, when Democrats were at a low point and sinking lower, Teixeira has consistently argued that long-term demographic trends pointed to brighter days ahead for the party."

That facade can't last too long. As Lincoln once said, you can only fool some of the people some of the time.
You can rely on your own special brand of racism and sexism to win you elections, but the bottom line is economics and policies that work.
When the money runs out and the country turns into Greece Part Deux, the demographics won't matter anymore. Even the truly blind will be able to see the failure that is the policies of the party of Democrats.
I hope I'm wrong, for the country's sake. But it hasn't worked in any of the bluest states or bluest cities, and it certainly isn't working in Europe at the moment.
I guess we'll see in another four years how things are working out.
You are bonkers and apparently totally in denial of the political realities.
Dems did not win because we portrayed repugs and the dynamic duo as racists. Or as hating women. You guys did it ALL by yourselves and the voters decided on that basis

Every single statement by a D-list GOPer that could even be REMOTELY taken as racist or sexist was MAGNIFIED 1000x by the media, while similar statements by A-list Dems (like Biden's "put ya'll back in chains") were laughed off and swept under the rug.
There was no "hating women" going on...no racism....it was all manufactured quite effectively by the Dems and their complicit media machine.
Like I have said, against this type of foe, it's amazing Romney was able to get as many votes as he did...it's clear we'll just have to let the bottom fall out of the US economy before EVERYONE can see just how damaging the Democrats can be...and like I've also said, I hope I'm very wrong about that, but I fear that I am not.
hcap, your dirty strategy worked - don't deny it.
Lies are what Obama has based his presidency on.
Rejoice, you guys could NEVER base one on results! :lol::lol:

No concession needed. Follow me for a bit (using your tax foundation website) The details are below. The tax code needs to be destroyed to make it equitable across the nation
You're arguing many of those people in the gulf states pay no taxes. If you went to the Tax Foundation website, it's b/c of deductions & increased value of exemptions, and, tax credits. > that's directly off their site, linked below
Hmmm. Didn't Romney say he would clean up the tax code? Do away with a lot of exemptions and/ or deductions?
Doesn't take a genius to figure this out, does it? Wages, as well as cost of living, is lower / cheaper in the gulf states. Add in the exemptions, credits etc, it runs your liability down....Unfortunately I pay Uncle Sam a lot of$$..., so you can't lump the entire populace of these states to one myopic category.....The people with no liability are low wage earners - the example was a married cpl @ $45,000. Wwhile that sounds low, and it is even for here, it's become the new norm for a lot of people now here. Obamanics has taken the toll for them.
Additionally, according to your boys at the Tax Foundation, non-payers have crept into the "middle class" the past decade.... Further need to do away with most exemptions and credits and such.
http://taxfoundation.org/article/fiscal-costs-nonpayers
There are two main causes of the growth in nonpayers. The first is the increased value of the standard deduction and personal exemption brought about in the Tax Reform Act of 1986.[5] This had the effect of reducing the taxable income for all taxpayers but was especially beneficial for low-income taxpayers.
The second, and more recent, cause has been the creation of new and expanded tax credits. Unlike the personal exemption, which reduces a taxpayer’s taxable income, tax credits directly reduce tax liability. These credits have grown in number and value over the past the two decades. In 1990, the combined value of these credits was roughly $20 billion, after adjusting for inflation. Two decades later, the combined budgetary cost of both the basic and refundable tax credits reached a remarkable $224 billion in 2010.
Though most nonpayers are low income by conventional standards, the income level at which one can become a nonpayer has crept upward into the middle class over the last decade. In 2001, the share of those tax filers making between $50,000 and $75,000 with no income tax liability was roughly 1 percent. By 2009, that share had jumped to 12 percent.[6],[7] The threshold at which the typical married couple with two children will likely be nonpayers given the standard deduction, personal exemption, and only two dependent child credits is now roughly $47,000.[8] This is without any additional deductions or credits, such as the mortgage interest deduction.
