Only having to defend 10 GOP seats, they had a clear path to taking the Senate.
Why do you think a "win" for the Dems translates into a "win" for you?But you were a douchebag when it started and still are as it ends. Day in and day out, the same old, same old. Zzzzzzzzz.
Is there a creative, insightful bone in your body, drone?
As a Republican, why don't you just respond with the 2012 GOP highlights?
All in all.....Its been a bad year for Republicans
As it should be.
+++++++++Why do you think a "win" for the Dems translates into a "win" for you?
Where have I declared a win?
Why can't Republicans honestly assess their performance in 2012?
How many of you Republicans are happy with what happened in 2012? I was not happy with 2010 and was glad to see Democrats do something about it
Why can't Republicans?
Those who don't learn are doomed to repeat. This is not a bad thing, you know. Let them continue in the vein they have.
2012 started with so much promise for the GOP. It was going to be a year when they took control of the White House and Senate. A year when they would kill Obamacare. A year when they would continue their assault on gay rights
What happened?
Against a vulnerable candidate they ran the worst field of Presidential candidates in a generation. They tied up their only credible candidate in an endless primary with endless debates only to pick the guy everyone knew would win anyway. They forced their candidate to pander to the mega rich and social conservatives. They attacked 47% of Americans. They ended up losing 323 to 206
Only having to defend 10 GOP seats, they had a clear path to taking the Senate. The 23 Democrats were vulnerable. They drove away Olympia Snowe and Richard Lugar. They ran candidates who supported banning abortion for rape. They tried to buy elections. They ended up losing two Senate seats rather than winning seats and have jeopardized their chances of taking the Senate in 2014
Republicans were cocky about killing Obamacare. The Conservative stacked Supreme Court would gut the bill, President Romney would do the rest. Justice Roberts ended up saying he would not bear the burden as the man who killed universal healthcare and sided with the liberals. Romney was soundly defeated Obamacare is here to stay
Republicans knew that voters would never vote for gay marriage and pushed for state legislation for an up or down vote. For the first time, voters supported the rights of gays to marry
Yes, 2012 was a bad year for Republicans
you mispelled Americans.
What did you mean by that? That only Republicans are Americans?

Been a pretty lousy year for most Americans too. Next year doesn't look promising either.

I see both the Democrats AND Republicans representing the same things: Huge Gov't. Yeah, the rhetoric differs but they want the same things.
You claim the Republicans had a bad year yet they got what they wanted: Huge Gov't. Why do you think Republican "leadership" is so eager to go along with the Democrats? If they actually believed anything they say they're be threatening Filibusters.
So my assessment of the Republican Party: Win!
2012 GOP Lowlights
1. Attack on women: Rush Limbaugh calls Sandra Fluke a slut for using birth control. Republicans demonize Fluke calling her ugly, a whore, a freeloader. House panel on womens birth control issues is all men
2. Romneys 47%: In a private meeting, Romney calls 47% of Americans freeloaders looking for government handouts. After the election, he blames his loss on people looking for free stuff
3. Donald Trump: Republicans pander to Trump who returns the favor by doubling down on birther nonsense and offers a bounty on obama's college records
4. Akin and Mourdock: Shock even Republicans with their "legitimate rape" and "gods plan" quotes
5. The Empty Chair: Republicans giggle at Eastwoods empty chair routine then end up getting destroyed in the elections by an empty chair
Been a pretty lousy year for most Americans too. Next year doesn't look promising either.
Yup... No matter how they try to spin it, Obama is going to own Tax increases if he doesn't let up on reckless entitlement spending.
Was a bad year for republicans in the game of politics. Seems like a lot of people here treat it that way: a game. Lots of libs here spiked the ball on election night, and obviously as evidenced by this thread, are still doing it.
Saying the republicans had a bad year is like calling green grass green. Good observation. What otherwise scholarly observations can we expect next? Tortoises move slowly? Planes fly?
