Romney Did Not Lose

Guest posted, by CitizenScribe

Over the last few days I have watched as political "analysts" and assorted pundits alternately lamented and rejoiced and "analyzed" the results of the recent election.

I have watched and listened as self-important, self-appointed authorities opined and pontificated on the "reasons" for Romney's loss.

And, as I removed myself from the emotional turmoil that surrounds this event, and as I examined the actual data, I arrived at a conclusion at odds with all these "experts" and purveyors of "correct" viewpoint: Romney didn’t lose.

Oh, the election boards and Secretaries of State and other officials have "deemed" that Obama won the election, but the truth is rather otherwise.

What Obama won was the vote count. Remember the maxim from Josef Stalin:  "It’s not the people who vote that count, it’s the people who count the votes."

I predicted that the only way Romney would lose was through vote fraud. As the election returns are now being finalized, we discover that in several districts the final counts added up to more than 100% of the actual registered voters in those areas. The "traditional" Press is, of course, entirely uninterested and incurious about these results, as we would expect from a Fourth-Estate-as-Fifth-Column media community.

Okay, fine, we now know that the election results are fraudulent, and we likewise know that the authorities and media will never acknowledge that possibility. What we now have is an "election" outcome that's "official" but not legal, "official" but not true, "official" but for which the actual evidence will be destroyed, or already has been.

There is, however, a truth that will only be buried if we allow it to be. Romney didn't lose. Romney won the support of a significant majority of Americans. The pretender in the White House knows this, his aides know this, and the people who mechanized this outcome know this. Oh, and the Press either knows it or suspects it, and is now deep enough into it that exposing it would mean revealing their own collusion and perfidy.

The reality, though, remains: the real, true majority of Americans did not ask for this outcome, did not support this result, and actually desire something very different from the plans they know this false president has for the nation.

Here is how it's supposed to work: you know that you voted for Romney (or against Obama), but now you're supposed to believe that "everybody else" wanted Obama. The "overwhelming majority" of people want Obama, want his policies, and want you to suffer. That's what the Press will tell you, that's what the authorities will tell you, that’s what the "official" version will be.

You are now supposed to "accept" your fate. You are now supposed to sit down and shut up. You are now supposed to "accept" the so-called "will of the people." That’s what you’re supposed to do.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GIVE UP. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SUCCUMB. You're SUPPOSED to stop fighting, stop resisting, stop speaking out.

Well?

Yeah, okay, I can't prove any of that. I don't have any evidence that supports it. What I DO have is an analytic mind and a series of observations that inform me that the "result" we got is not supported by the events leading up to it.

So what I know and what I can prove are at odds. But there are times when you have to act on what you know, even when you’re being falsely told that what you know is wrong.

I'm still formulating how I need to proceed in light of this new understanding, but what I know, and what I need to factor into my future calculations is the fact that we — the people who love our country and favor fiscal sanity and subscribe to the ideals of the Founders — are not outnumbered. We remain in the majority.

I can't remember ever having been here. I grew up in the '60s, but served in the military rather than in Haight-Ashbury. I raised my family to be responsible and self-sufficient, just as my parents did. I guess you could say I was more or less aligned with the "establishment" of the day, even though I have for years disagreed with the trend toward more socialism and fascism.

Today, the Establishment has crossed a line. They have arrayed themselves against the majority of the American people.

I won't be joining them. I won’t be agreeing with them. I won't be accepting their "truth." I will, instead, stand for my truth. And I suspect I am not alone.

The usurpers (for I can't reasonably refer to them otherwise) are now the "establishment" even though they are really in the minority.

So … that makes us … what?

Well, what do you call someone who stands against the Establishment?

Feels kinda odd to be in those shoes, doesn’t it?

Welcome to the Resistance.

Other than a generalized feeling that the election was manipulated, there is no way to prove it and there is even less interest in proving it by those who could prove it.

This election now joins the ranks of Obama's college transcripts, his birth certificate and his years spent as a college dope head. No one who can or might effectively take exception to what has occurred gives a rat's rump about the realities of deceptive practices and the fraud being reported from Pennsylvania to Ohio to Florida in the aftermath of this election.

Resistance? There is no resistance. On this plain? The Borg literally walk about freely assimilating at will and the media remain their favored tools.

"The usurpers...are now the "establishment" even though they are really in the minority."

Monority? Based on what?

The election says otherwise.

[Joe]

Sore losers...

"The election says otherwise."

How innocent.

No, he won the vote count, not the election.

Feel free to switch from acceptance to observation of the obvious.

I'm usually with you guys, but here, I think I have to part ways.

Was the election result fraudulent? Oh, hell yes. Everybody knows that. A Democrat? From Chicago? Please.

But was the margin of fraud sufficient to put Obama over the top?

Mmmm, no, I don't think so. You're going to need to show that Obama managed to fabricate...what, about 4 million votes?

I think even the execrable Mainstream Media would get curious if that could be plausibly shown.

Or perhaps you're limiting this not to the popular vote, but only to certain critical states? Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Iowa, Nevada and Colorado?

You'll need to show how many votes Romney lost each of those states by, and what the lowest swing of votes would have been that could have put that state in the Romney column. Then find the three or four state combination with the lowest vote swing whose electoral college size would have been sufficient to get Romney over 270.

I don't know what the outcome of that analysis would be, but I'm betting it would still have required more than a million votes.

And, sorry, but: If you're asserting that the Democratic party has managed THAT MUCH vote fraud, then you'd better back it up with some small arms fire.

Because if the election is that badly stolen, then the whole elections-as-a-non-lethal-way-to-have-a-revolution way of running things is over, and it's time to return to the former, more lethal, practice.

I don't think you want that. I certainly don't.

Both parties have flaws, yes..

But Americans have proven this time around to be tired of right wing demagoguery..

The Right needs to stop fighting a culture war they cannot ever win..

[Robert]

I think this nonsense lowers the discourse to a cartoonish level of paranoia.

You're better than this, Rick.

[Rick]

Robert,

This was posted by a guest blogger... and I give my guest bloggers lots of leeway...

There are lots of reports out there of voter fraud so a story like this one seems relevant and pertinent...

[Robert]

I know you didn't write it but it's still your name on the masthead. Just my two cents.
It's sad that no one will ever admit they just lost anymore. It was a close election in half a dozen states, more people chose Obama. Deal with it, folks. He is the legitimate President for the next 4 years. Maybe he just had a better team?
Here's one reason:

I was reading about Obama's campaign taking what Rove did for Bush in '04 to a whole new level, that had the potential to turn the tide more than millions of cases of voter fraud, don't you think?
Let's elevate the debate to be about policy instead of attacking everyone's motives and attributing evil to anyone who disagrees with us. Again, just my two (Canadian) cents.

[Rick]

In the end, there'll be numerous reasons to rely upon as to why Obama was re-elected. But it's way too early to throw the fraud angle out... fraud in key swing states could indeed throw an election, and there appears to be credible reports of just that having taken place...

Time will tell if this is beneath me... but I gotta tell ya feller... I'm lower than a glow worm's belly on a subway track... so this would have to be way beneath me to actually be problematic...

The main point, for those who may have missed it, was less about the fraud, which certainly did occur, and more about the actual resulting state of things, to wit, that those who value the Constitution, those who value fiscal conservatism, those who still believe in the foundations of our nation, did not suddenly and magically become a minority.

We've known for ages that Big Media represents neither us nor, for that matter, the actual truth. Therefore, it is entirely reasonable to expect them to characterize this "outcome" as an "overwhelming mandate" (which it was not).

This is simply a continuation of the Big Lie that Constitutional conservatism is dead.

It's not.

It's only over if we give up, roll over, and play dead.

The point is to recognize that, regardless of the illusion that we are "no longer relevant," we are, in fact, still the primary pillar of our society.

Expect the pro-socialists to scorn us, mock us, dismiss us, and even persecute us.

And in the face of this, carry on anyway.

[Zoe]

Pro Socialist..you might try to figure out what the definition of Socialism is.

Most successful modern nations are a healthy mix of socialism and capitalism.

[LNM]

Totally agree...I feel it in my gut and pray good men are among us who will expose the corruption.

Romans 13:1-2: "Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves."

I'm surprised none of those folks who are belly aching about Obama's re-election are cracking open their bibles..tsk, tsk.

[CitizenScribe]

Still looking for that passage that says, "Go thou therefore and summon the ballot forgers, that thou mayest counterfeit votes and confound the tally thereof, that thou mayest reign yet another forty and eight months over the blasphemers in their misguided allegiance to the Constitution and its tenets."

Can't seem to find it anywhere.

Smug non sequiturs about God and government when a usurper subverts the process to create a fundamentally godless administration serve only to encourage fatalism and apathy.

A man who votes to kill babies following a failed abortion ... engineers a subterfuge to steal an election ... that's "what God has instituted?"

Really?
