I’m not sure I totally buy into this.
Obama’s vote tally was 15% lower than 2008...pending Florida totals of course.
In fact, Barry underperformed compared to Bush 2004....even though the population has grown.
There isn’t a new majority out there....the GOP just stayed home. I didn’t think people would stay home....I bought into the ‘Anybody but Obama’ theory. But, it didn’t work anymore than ‘Anyone but Bush’ worked for Kerry.
We need a better candidate. Thats all.
“We need a better candidate. Thats all.”
I disagree. I don’t pretend to have the answers, heck, I thought Romney would win in a landslide. But, I know what I saw. Obama could hardly be a worse president. He’s divisive, he is an economic idiot, he’s lazy, and he doesn’t like capitalism.
The summary of Obama’s campaign is: “Sure, I’m bad, but Romney is worse! He’s RICH!!!”
And it worked.
Anyone with an IQ slightly above a turnip knows what Obama is about and what they were getting. Americans have been sufficiently dumbed down, and moved left of center.
Go more conservative with candidates, and in the national contests, the liberal strongholds will beat your brains out. America demands socialism and free stuff.
Well, this is the sort of candidate that the GOP bosses will continue to foist on the party members; a guy who lost to the guy who lost to Obama in the previous election cycle. We will not overcome the stupid and clueless who outnumber the conservatives 51% to 49%.
Keep the faith? Right will prevail? Energize the base?
This election put the lie to GOP enthusiasm and capitalism. Let's tax the rich at 90%, give Soylent Green to the masses, and go Galt.
