On Election Day 2012 there were so many things that went wrong. Like a number of conservatives, I expected a landslide win for Mitt Romney. The Massachusetts Governor, for the most part, ran a satisfactory campaign. Sure, there were a few things I wish he would have hammered a little harder on, but overall, he ran an acceptable campaign - especially when you consider he was running against the most destructive presidency in the history of this country (save for perhaps Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson). I thought that no Republican voter in their right mind would stay home in 2012. Heck, I figured, as with Reagan, there would also be a lot of cross-party voting where Democrats, sick of the arrogance and failures of Barack Obama, would vote for Romney as well. Sure, there was fraud by the democrats, but I figured the margin of victory by the GOP would be even greater than the number of stolen votes by the liberal left. In local elections, nationwide, the Republican Party cleaned up, but in the national election, a combination of fraud, and a population more and more dependent upon the federal government, added up to the reelection of Barack Obama.
I was wrong because I believed Americans would stand up for freedom. I was wrong because I believed the voters recognized the destructive forces at work in Washington, and would do whatever it took to end the madness. I was wrong because I had faith that Americanism continues to live, and that people still believe socialism is the enemy of liberty in America. I was wrong, but I don't believe it is over.
