Mitt Romney's disastrous ground

Not only did Romney lie to the American public with his continual flip-flopping on issues, he and his staff lied to themselves as well.

Bye bye Willard

It's like throwing a bucket of chum into shark-filled waters. Just sit back and watch the feeding frenzy.

At least Mitch McConnel's main focus for four years will no longer be the defeat of Obama. Not exactly the GOP's finest hour when the Minority Leader spent and focused most of his time on this failure of his. Also, do you think that the Oxy-Moron (Limbaugh who tries to win by doing his dance, the Limbo, dancing and broadcasting as low as you can go) will continue to pray and "hope he fails"? You don't to your credit but the Reactionaries did as they have put their politics above country as usual. They even believed the Fox propaganda and "polls" from their bubble -- fearing science as well as not being on speaking terms with reality. Well, their bubble finally burst as bubbles always will. Now, all they have to do is hire a reality translator and not their usual hire, the one who speaks in forked tongues!

That's a perfect storm, and Obama has brought the lion's share of it on himself. So, jayrad et al., you have every right to bask in the bragging rights for this election. You can talk about Romney's flip-flops and ignore all of Obama's flip-flops and all of his failed promises too. Take all the time you want. Ayup. He's in charge. It's his responsibility. I support him. And if/when his ideas don't pan out, HE gets the blame. Not Romney. Not Bush. Not the Republicans. (And we ALL KNOW that if Romney were elected and he didn't turn it around, Democrats would be all up in his azz for not doing so--Romney's failed policies, yada yada would be blamed.)

So far these have been more demonized than listened to, but above all the party has got to REJECT once and for all the James Dobsons and Tony Perkinses and the other opportunist yahoos who have been trying to hijack it into a party of Dominionism (bolstered by their talk radio sycophants who try to hijack it into the party of Eliminationism).

All the GOP needs is another Nixon or Reagan to go back to the winner's circle. However this will mean they will have to adjust to the voters' needs. Any adjustment toward the center is a game changer. Jack, "keep talking about the election and Romney". To the victor go the spoils and bragging rights.

I don't at all -- at least not in the deep red states. Even in purple states like Mich. we now have a GOP governor as well as a GOP-controlled legislature and supreme court. Too many blue voters don't bother to vote in non-presidential elections, so I expect red politicians to make some gains in the 2014 elections.

It’s also his highest favorability rating in the poll since July of 2009. The public’s view of Democrats is also positive in the wake of a largely successful election for the party.

For the GOP, Romney has given Democrats the greatest "Gift". I'm still waiting for my gift from Obama. Does the GOP yet realize, that people have voted for Obama without being bribed? Just because Trump thought a president would take his bribe and Romney worships the dirt this worm (Trump) crawls in, is no reason to think that he (Romney) lost because he is not as good as Trump in bribing blacks, women, Latinos and his other inferiors that the GOP talks down to and can't treat as equals. No amount of sour grapes will hide the fact that the GOP base (and too many are really base) is growing smaller and smaller and the longer they avoid mixing a little crow with their traditional apple pie will mean the longer it takes them to partake of the fruits of victory on a national scale! To continue the analogy, most of the people who are part of the newer demographics are vastly fed up with the 21st Century GOP and their poison tea. [Edited by: Passer at 11/17/2012 12:51:58 PM EST]

No one was held accountable for that error in judgement or the CIA data that was skewed. Yet cons like you are outraged about 4 deaths in Benghazi. Do the math.
