In answer to the OP, Mitt Romney lost because he didn't get enough votes.
I imagine he is willing to cut as much as it takes to keep welfare checks rolling.
Not to mention he knew it was against the law and said he would cover their expenses to keep quiet.
Suddenly aware of your vast delusions? Kudos to you, it must not have been easy.

Good Lord Brent, seek mental help, your delusions are becoming overwhelming.
He wasn't a "self made man". Words have meanings. His fathers money propelled him.
Shut up retard.
He made 20K for each american job he eliminated. Is that a good start? Moron.
Maybe the three million stayed home because idiots were telling them that Romney had it in the bag, they figured... hey why go out, Fox says we got this.

Yeah, that's definitely a balanced view of Romney's work at Bain.
If that is honestly how you perceive Romney, there is no point in discussing it further.
There was a show (60 minutes ?) where an employee was interviewed who used to work for one of the companies Bain drove into bankruptcy. When she lost her job she lost her medical and her husband was in the middle of having cancer treatments. He ultimately died. Whether it was the result of being unable to afford the treatments or he would have died regardless, who knows? The point is along with no consideration for the employees who may be requiring medical insurance Romney is against ObamaCare.
It's not just Bain. It's the total Romney. He doesn't give a damn for anyone.
Bain took all the profits and left the state/feds to pay to keep people housed and fed...people die, have their lives torn apart, lose their homes etc. all so the rich can make more money...they never have enough. Then they call those in need moochers. It's an illness. Plutocrats, patricians....our betters....
Damn right it's an illness. Should I resurrect my "Greed is a Mental Illness" thread?
It's wasted on them...they'll double down on their insanity. They won't change, learn or think. They're lost.

We could cut our military spending in half and be larger than all the military's of the rest of the world combined in terms of defense spending. Like I said previously, how many times do we need to be able to destroy the world in order to feel safe?
That's what I think is funny as hell about the fiscal cliff. Repelicans have painted themselves into a corner. If they don't come to a compromise with Democrats than not only will the Bush tax cuts be expired but there will be automatic and substantial cuts to defense spending too. Granted their would be some pain for Dems too in automatic cuts to entitlement and social program spending but I promise you, going over the fiscal cliff would hurt Repubs more than Dems and thus, since Obama won the Presidential election, places Dems in the stronger negotiating position and Repubs will negotiate, I promise you that. They can talk smack all they want but push comes to shove going over the fiscal cliff hurts them worse, so they'll come to the table ready to negotiate and willing to make compromises and concession.
Personally, It may actually be in our best interest to go over the fiscal cliff. Granted that wouldn't be good in the short term, with a lowering of our credit rating and the possibility it could put us back into recestion but in the long term, it could be the best thing for our nations fiscal health.
If that were to happen, the interesting political question would be "Which party would the public blame?"
Ive been thinking about the possablity that Democrats and America may be better served going over the cliff, then negotiating. Taxes will be raised on everyone... without Obama taking any action so they can hang that around his neck.. then spending would be cut. Republicans would be so desperate to cut those taxes on the wealthy, they would be willing to accept a better compromise than if we tried to negotiate it before going over the cliff.
