One of the keys to the success of two-term Democrats like Clinton and Obama is that they've simply mastered the art of standing up there and telling people whatever they want to hear. These aren't principled politicians by a long stretch, despite what we like to think (and they like to think, too).

For example ... in this election campaign cycle we actually saw Barack Obama stand up and claim that a massive cut in corporate tax rates was one of the cornerstones of his economic plan. LOL.

The key to winning elections in the age of "American Idol" is to cobble together enough voters who are willing to believe what you're offering them, and then turn it into a simple, stupid campaign theme.

Just go and join the democrats. I hate to tell you. If the R’s shift left anymore, its over.

The GOP has been shifting left for 150 years. It's still around. Unfortunately, we can't let our electorate outrun us, or we will lose on everything of importance to us instead of only some of them. Sodomy was once a felony, and during the colonial era, a capital offense. It is now not only legal, but fashionable, with all kinds of slang terms involving the practice once thought extremely coarse now used in day-to-day conversation. I'm as old-fashioned as they get, but we will never turn the clock back.

” If the last 4 years could not do it, then it won’t happen democratically or peacefully.”

I tend to agree. President Romney would have just gotten us there slower.

This election could be the best thing for America.

You’ve been against Romney for quite some time now.

Allen West lost. Mia Love lost. Two conservatives.

I worry that the country is lost, you have people voting yes to legalizing dope. More of the country is now on some kind of assistance, food stamps, welfare, the older people are receiving social security, they fear it will be reduced. Fear works. The media played it well, and with the help of some like you, we have four more years of Obama with his executive orders.

The ultimate plan of the democratic party was to get most of the country on the government dole and then be able to control them for their entire life.

Seems to me, mission accomplished.

Wrong. It was the changing demographics of the United States.

Dick Morris just said that he predicted a Romney landslide because he thought the electorate would return to 2004 levels. So did I. It didn’t. This electorate is here to stay, and (for once), Morris is right. Republicans will NEVER win with the electorate as it is. It’s not possible.

“Young voters, Hispanic voters, black voters, and single women voters are larger segments of the electorate now, and they all vote against us.

I REFUSE to compromise the basic principles of the party by the amount we would have to so that we can “snare” these voters. We might as well just have the Democrap party, rather than two Democrap parties.

I’ve said already. We are the Copts. A minority living under the tyranny of the majority.”

I agree 100%.

We must reject all MAINSTREAM media. “Cut the Cord” to cable TV. Starve the Beast MSMBC, CNN etc. Internet TV. Blaze TV. Starve the beast. Do not buy print media. Newsweek has died. Time magazine will also die. NYT is bleeding. Get back to church. Pray and live like the FOUNDERS. Drudge is correct, we are a DIVIDED COUNTRY.

Margaret Thatcher is correct: “The problem with socialism is you eventually run out of other people’s money.”

Long term move to TEXAS. SUCCESSION.

changing demographics??? do you realize George Bush received more votes in 2004 than obama did last night??? the GOP did not get out and vote- if they had Romney would be president today...obama’s vote count is down more than 10% from 2008- doesn’t seem like changing demographics to me....seems the problem is the way the GOP fights like little girls the past 8 years...

The problem is so much deeper now because fools have become the majority.

And they think they've elected themselves more free stuff via socialism, but what they've put into place is in fact a fascist tool of Soros and his globalist ilk.

There's no place left on Earth for Liberty and Freedom.

I’ve posted this before...but I intend to keep repeating it:

We can blame it on the Establishment, on the nominee, on several things...but the MAIN reason we are in this mess is because of all of our choices.

“Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.” ... Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Until we come to the place of GREAT repentance on the part of the majority of this nation, we will see an increasingly worse scenario. The CHANGE that is really needed is spiritual. History teaches this. The Sacred Scriptures teach this. Why don’t we want to learn?

If it is all the demographics, how did we win in 2010 and win the House, this year, with a losing candidate at the top of the ticket?

Romney has to take some of the blame. He never made a strong case to convince the public of his positions. He also may have been mistaken in being so passive in the last two debates. We thought that voter participation would be higher this year than last, but it appears that it was not. He was not really exciting people as we thought he was.

My preference would have been Gingrich, but his woman issues would likely have sunk him too. The current R problem is that we will not settle for less than a perfect person, and Jesus did not run in the 2012 Republican primary, and I don’t expect Him to be running in 2016 either.

As I just posted in another thread, last time told me exactly where we are on the Bible’s prophetic time clock.

I don’t think this was Romney’s fault even though he wasn’t my first choice. I put a lot of the blame on the media who refused to tell the truth about the issues and our current President.

When people are being fed untruths that is what they will believe. The media needs to be taken over by either conservatives are at least honest journalists to make a difference in this country...sigh

Allen West lost.... to a freakin’ drunk! And he was an excellent messenger of conservative principles.

What I’m saying is that the voters made themselves clear. Hispanics care about open-border immigration above all else. Blacks care about voting Democrat above all else. There are great exceptions, but that’s the majority. They’re called “idiots”.

Death comes sooner or later. Most people prefer to get there later. I understand the feeling that things may have to get worse before they get better. But sometimes people end up with the French or Bolshevik Revolutions, and the deaths of major chunks of their populations. The whole point of the American experiment has been to avoid those types of convulsive blood-lettings.

"What went wrong?"

It is this simple. We now have over 50% on the dole. They vote LIB and always will. . . .

Yes. Romney listened to his GOP handlers and continued with the wimpy responses to the Obama campaign attacks.

Boehner said this morning that the House will need to reach across the isle now.

That has always been a Republican problem. The media is NEVER going to be on their side. The Republicans need to figure out a way to counter the media, but they never seem to be able to. Look at the presidential debate formats/hosts. They are stacked against the GOP nominee every 4 years.
