I agree, I am amazed the turnout for Romney was less than for Mccain. While they were sitting home it appears the democrats led a higher turnout of brown people than in 2008. No doubt free stuff breeds some loyalty.

Because there are things that are more important than their hurt feelings. re: Tea Party Perhaps Jorj, perhaps. As bad as things are today, imagine if the Tea Party and Palin did not secure the House in 2010. I think totally ignoring the Tea Party and Palin was not good. Again, we believed the RINO's that Romney was the only logical choice to get Dems and I's on our side and we got suckered again. What happened to Eric Cantor, De Mint, and the others? Did they disappear, or were they forced to disappear? Why? I'd rather go down with dignity and pride than this way, ever again. I voted, and held my nose, but I won't do it again for the RINO's. They still have their great jobs and perks, but the people in the middle are screwed for 4 years or longer.

It wasn't just Palin supporters aka the Tea Party who stayed home, it was also Ron Paul supporters and also anti-morman voters (which I think is stupid.) I think the fact the turnout was so low is evidence of that. I held my nose and voted the straight repub ticket, just like I've done all my life. But honestly, I haven't liked any of the republican nominees since RR because they have all been RINOs. All except RR, and I loved him. I loved him because he was the true embodiment of conservatism. He talked like one, he acted like one, he said he lead like one, and then low and behold he actually did. I and many others know Mitt Romney is not a true conservative and some of us stayed home.
