The 47% are the ones to blame. And since when you can say that the GOP blames Romney? You dont know ****.

The Republican Party led by the Teabaggers alienated every identifiable group in the country and voter suppression laws in many states caused a backlash which had the opposite effect in voter turnout.
But even that probably wasn't the decisive issue that turned the tide. In the end it was Romney.
He said he had a plan but never explained it.
He said he would create jobs but never said how.
He said he would destroy a lot of things that were important to seniors and white middle class Americans and never detailed what he would replace the losses with.
He never explained how he would reduce the national debt other than reducing the earned and paid for medical and retirement rights of working Americans.
He said Obama's administration was a failure and his would be better but never said how.
Then in his last debate agreed with virtually everything Obama had done.
How can anyone trust a guy like that?
It was the White Middle Class American voters that torpedoed Romneys Titanic effort.

You might want to do a little more research on this considering Romney actually GOT 47% of the vote.

There is plenty of blame to go around. Romney lost the election himself.

Simply ASKING that question as you did shows that you DO need some help here. The statements in your question are wrong to begin with.
The Blame belongs to, in equal parts, the people who Romney ACTUALLY Blamed, which are the people who only want hand-outs and don't want to work for a living, AND the supporters of the traitor, Ron Paul.
For the first time in your history, you Canadians CAN legitimately now gloat over the problems in the U.S. The U.S. as a powerful and desirous country is finished.

The GOP for pushing Romney.
-I would have considered.......considered voting for Santorum, Perry and even Grinch but from the outset I said that I would NEVER vote for Romney.
The GOP pulling all their BS during the Primaries didn't help. The BS they pulled at the RNC cinched it for me.
Pull your head out of your *** GOP.

Romney blamed the crash of his computer system that scuttled hid get-out-the-vote effort. In the end it will all come down to they didn't choose a conservative enough candidate who could stay on message. It culdn't possibly be that people just understand their message and reject it.

No one i've heard blames Romney, I think he blames Obama, as do I.
If it was Romney vs. Gary Johnson, Romney would have won 48 states.

WHO CARES, it's really time to move on, I think we all pretty much know how Obama won and Romney has nothing to do with it.
