Uh... you can say the 47% is apolitical blunder.. no argument there...
Trump, Clint, having a stand against what Fluke wanted (even if an ENTERTAINER like Rush said stupid stuff) are not really 'political blunders'
Dems ALWAYS try and pander to the entitlement crowd and paint Reps as 'insensitive'
I gave you the actual 'lowlight' on the political side.. You gave a bunch of fluff crap and tried to make it as a Rep issue
While Trump, Clint and Rush are not elected officials they did help solidify the impression that Republicans are out of touch and insenitive and borderline crazy. Clint was making a joke but the timing was unfortunate. The empty chair grabbed headlines away from Mitts acceptance speech and was delivered minutes before Mitt took the stage....definitely stole Mitts thunder
Trump and Rush are embraced by the crazy radical fringe of the party. The unwillingness of the major GOP candidates to distance themselves allowed dems to paint them as sympathetic. The birthers are mostly just humorous nutcases. But Rush's vicious attack on Fluke and much of the party rallying around him hurt with woman voters
No.. it was all entertainment and entertainment media spin and attention... It was not any political move... thanks for playing
Stop focusing on Trump and Rush or Beck or Savage or whomever else.... you want to talk the politics, stick to the actual politics

If it was just "entertainment" it had a major impact on the political scene. The massive swing of single women away from the Republican Party was a significant event. To think that Rush Limbaugh and the reaction of the extreme right had no impact on that swing is short sighted
This is a political message board....we discuss politics
As the year comes to an end, it is obvious that the Republican expectations of major success were smashed. It will be a major story of 2012.
Just because you do not like it doesn't mean it can't be discussed
STFU and go start 18 more anti-Republican threads. I enjoy watching them smack your dumb ass all over the board. I've yet to see you win a debate since I've been here.
Go on..entertain me, minstrel.
Its is a political message board. What would you like to discuss?
Don't you get tired of the Sarah Palin is an idiot and Obama sucks threads?
The failure of the Republican Party in 2012 is a major story. If you don't want to discuss it there are hundreds of other threads you can join
No spin bonehead
Republicans did have a golden opportunity.. I am not arguing that.. Republicans fucked up in a bunch of campaigns.. Again, not arguing that...
Simply correcting your stupid assumptions and showing that these 'lowlights' you speak of are not really of any reality or relevance
He's a hack troll. This thread is nothing new.
Really? That is super interesting
What is hack about this thread?

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 put it as 'political lowlights', when it was not done by the politicians (except the Romney 47%)...
You and your ilk put more into Rush etc than the politicians or the 'righties' do
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

One thing about the left is that they aren't gracious winners. Another thing is that they don't have sense enough to be worried about the Country while they are beating a dead horse. The future of Obamacare remains to be seen and my guess is that the left wing lemmings will follow president Hussein right off the cliff.

Rush Limbaugh is a key member of the propaganda arm of the Reublican Party. He gets to say all the things that actual politicians are not allowed to say...then they get to disavow what he has said

Rush Limbaugh is a key member of the propaganda arm of the Reublican Party. He gets to say all the things that actual politicians are not allowed to say...then they get to disavow what he has said
Only to liberals. It's projection. They assign Rush's sensationalism to every single republican and then say that Rush represents them. It's bullshit. And to suggest the republicans in office should be spending the majority of their day listening to Rush so they can publicly dismiss what he says is bullshit as well.

This case was much worse because of the sheer nastiness of attacks on Fluke
Even Republicans were astonished and Rush was forced to apologize
But it is like unbreaking an egg. Young single women were appalled by the three day attack on Fluke and it turned them against the Republicans
It was a major political blunder by Republicans in 2012

Welcome to politics. Under Bush a lot of Democrats were called on to disavow Cindy Sheehan, and she was a loony toon that tried to unseat Pelosi. She was so fringe you'd have to add a deck and a 30 ft pier off to the left of the political spectrum to seat her.
The problem isn't that Democrats see Rush as the voice of the party, it's that moderates do. It also doesn't help that any serious power player in the GOP seems to end up on his show as if it were a rite of passage. If Rush is irrelevant, freeze him out, don't give him an interview. That MAKES him relevant.
