We are too sheltered in our little DU cocoon...

[fadedrose]

After watching election results for over an hour, I am still struck with the huge amount of support for Romney. Hardly anyone in here ever says anything nice about him. It's a real cultural shock for me...

[codjh9]

1. Hunh? And why is someone here supposed to say anything nice about him?

[MichiganVote]

2. Ok, here's something nice-he's losing. Good for him and better for us.

[kenziemom06]

3. For real?

You're right -- I have nothing good to say about a LIAR.

[valerief]

4. We have too much sense here to say anything nice about him, but if you must hear something...

He takes dainty steps. There. That was nice, wasn't it?

[seabeyond]

5. ummm, i live in a very red panhandle of texas and do not know ONE democrat. i do not think i am

sheltered.

[phylny]

12. Agreed. I'm shell-shocked here in south central Virginia.

I NEED this place!

[4nic8em]

6. Shock for me too!

fuck him

[Puglover]

7. oh dear

[senseandsensibility]

15. I think this is satire

based on fadedrose's previous posts.

[avebury]

8. Living in Uber red Oklahoma I need DU

for my sanity.

[Robyn66]

9. It will be NICE to see him go! (nt)

[retread]

10. I do not come to DU to read "nice" things about rMoney.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

11. Here, I'll say something nice about Romney

"He has nice hair".

Sorry, that's all I've got.

[susanna]

27. He's an exceptional liar.

That's as nice as I get.

[marmar]

13. Ok.....He has really big teeth.

Sorry, but that's all I can muster.

[Jennicut]

14. I know there is tons of people that are voting for Romney. My own parents did.

And that is in Connecticut.

Not sheltered. Aware.

This shouldn't be a close election. But the Repub supporters are getting older, whiter, and their demos are not the future of the country.

[JohnnyLib2]

16. This might be the most fun thread all night!

[KeepItReal]

17. A vote does not equal support.

I see a distinct lack of Romney/Ryan bumper stickers in the red places I visit in my state: Orange County, CA and San Diego, CA and in the South (Texas, Georgia and Louisiana)

You couldn't go two blocks without seeing Bush/Cheney stickers back in the days.

People may vote for R/R, but they have no pride in that vote. Suits me just fine.

[fadedrose]

18. The shock was his popularity.....I pesonally can't stand the sight of him

or his dainty walk Amazed that people actually like him....

[KansDem]

19. No. DUers come from many walks of life.

If anything, DUers bring the most diverse lifestyles into one forum. And it is from this forum I get my daily news.

No way do we live in a cocoon.

[nc4bo]

20. To really know him is to hate him and what he stands for. Too bad that didn't actually happen.

Tiny pockets of internet knew and we spread it to others, a few Lib. mags and newspapers knew and spread it to a few others and the Liberal hours on 1 network station knew and spread to a few others.

Too bad CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS and all the others did NOT inform the public about the real Mitt Romney.

[ceejdre82]

21. Hmmm, that saying comes to mind....if you CAN'T say anything nice....

but I REALLY would not have anything nice to say....even his jeans suck

[Warpy]

22. I've lived in red, red areas

and if "everybody" thinks Democrats have horns and a tail, it's really tough to be out of step with that.

That's where the support is coming from in those areas. If you asked them, I'm sure they'd mention they didn't have much use for Romney, they just had to vote against the people with the horns and tails so baby Jesus wouldn't cry.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

23. Get the kool aid removal team to this man, STAT!

[Jamaal510]

24. I'll say something nice about him;

he's great at messaging and convincing people to support policies that are antithetical to their fiscal interests.

[Honeycombe8]

25. There's a lot of support byRepsfor the Republican candidate, Candidate X. Not for Romney personally.

[quakerboy]

26. Hate for Obama

Is not the same as support for Romney.

And I think most of us here are aware of that hate. At least it is regularly discussed here.

[Curmudgeoness]

28. We all know he had support...but not here.

And we don't live in a cocoon....there are most times when we have to go out into the world. There we have our cars spit on for our Obama bumper stickers, we have yard signs vandalized, we have to sit in a restaurant and hear someone talking about the n****r in the White House.

We are not sheltered, but this place is a haven.

Oh edit: Howdy FadedRose. You are asking too much of us.

[awoke_in_2003]

29. I will say something nice...

I hope he enjoys his vacation tomorrow.

[Politicub]

30. Huh? What? I have no idea what this post means

[Cleita]

31. I live in a very red part of my county, yet among all the yard signs for

Republicans running in other races, I have not seen one for Romney/Ryan and only one bumper sticker that was an out-of-towner visitor. I haven't met one Republican who supports him here in my town.

[fadedrose]

32. Jebus, I added the sarcasm thingy for those of you

having a slight problem in reading comprehension and I can't believe that ANYBODY in here expects to see anything nice about that smarmy creep...

[nc4bo]

34. But your sarcasm brings up a really important truth...

at least to me it does.

This past 4 years, this 2012 election and the upcoming 4 years has really shown a light on our weaknesses as a country.

Mitt Romney was almost elected POTUS and it should have never EVER been allowed to happen!

We have work to do and I honestly don't even know where to begin.

[fadedrose]

35. You just said what I meant in my OP.....

Why ain't I more articulate?

[PATXgirl]

33. Just what I noticed...

Majority of the red Texas political posts I saw were voting AGAINST abortion, Obama, democrats, ACA, marriage rights and welfare more than they were voting FOR Romney.

Any time I would bring up romneys character, those are the issues they would fall back on.
