In this past election, the left, with the help of their propaganda machine pushed toe blame on the Republican congress and IMO a majority of the people who vote aren't smart enough to sift through the bullshit to see the forest through the trees. Pile on that the GOP is either not smart enough or it's leadership it complicit in what the left is doing to get out there and really start spreading the facts. Instead, they got into stupid pissing contests about so called women's rights and such which took the focus away from the true argument which was the economy. Fact is, the election was being handed to the Republicans on a silver platter but they decided to ignore it.
Where did I even approach this? I didn't. However, you have habitual news watchers. Believe it or not, not everyone has cable TV so their news comes from either the newspaper or the 3 major networks which all swing left. Top it off the millions and millions who could care less either way but who are Obama supporters because his propaganda machine helped by Hollywood and a bulk of the entertainment industry to make him appear to be cool, this is what swings their vote. Conservatives are portrayed ad stodgy, old white men while liberals and Democrats are portrayed to be hip(Bill Clinton playing the sax anyone?). Yes, there are conservative entertainers but they are few and far between or who don't make waves in fear that they will get blacklisted. As for cable news networks, Fox is still tops in the ratings, however, even their ratings can't trump the major 3 network news stations. CNN is back by Ted Turner money(if you saw how he ran WCW you'd see how he literally burns money) while CBS and NBC are backed by major corporations(NBC by GE and now Comcast and CBS after being owned by Westinghouse, eventually incorporated itself, and ABC is owned by Disney). Fox doesn't have the ability to be provided on free TV airways the way NBC, ABC, CBS have. CNN and MSNBC tank in the ratings regularly but they have big money behind them. I guarantee you that if even one of the major networks leaned right, the information wars would be a lot closer. Facts are facts. You can take them or leave them.
We have a few right here on these boards. They can't be the only ones. However, the voters staying home, if you bothered to read my entire post was just one aspect of why Romney lost. Re-read it again, just don't glean what you want. The main reason is that the voters voted for free stuff. That amounts to 70% of the reason why Obama won. Simply put, you can't run against Santa Claus.
