Since Tuesday, conservatives have floated many theories on why the GOP suffered such a crushing defeat in this election. Well, the consensus is in, and now we know who is to blame: all those voters who want Free Stuff.

LIMBAUGH: Let me tell you, small things beat big things yesterday. Conservatism, in my humble opinion, did not lose last night. It's just very difficult to beat Santa Claus. It is practically impossible to beat Santa Claus. People are not going to vote against Santa Claus especially if the alternative is being your own Santa Claus. [Premiere Radio Networks, The Rush Limbaugh Show, 11/7/12]

O'REILLY: The voters, many of them feel that the economic system is stacked against them, and they want stuff. You're going to see a tremendous Hispanic vote for President Obama. Overwhelming black vote for President Obama. And women will probably break President Obama's way. People feel that they are entitled to things, and which candidate, between the two, is going to give them things? [Fox News, America's Election Headquarters, 11/6/12]
And really, this is no surprise. There's a straight line back from the "Free Stuff" theory to Romney's infamous 47% video, and from that back to the
"We are the 53%" astro-turfed meme floating around months earlier.
But now that we have that settled, it's time we, the Obama voters, made our demands clear. So, fellow 47% 50.4%, what Free Stuff do YOU want?
I'll start it off: I'd like FREE, unencumbered voting rights for all American citizens over 18.
