Conservatives need to realize that arguing facts and logic is no longer sufficient to win national elections. Recent advertising studies show that, unlike the shrinking majority of white consumers, minority consumers are more influenced by ads appealing to their emotions rather than ads describing the qualities of the product. From now on, national elections and candidates will have to be rock stars.
Wow that was some racist bullshit. Maybe Republicans should actually... you know, use facts instead of creating their own?
stfu
Almost 50 percent of the vote was conservative yet somehow you want us to believe otherwise? Dumb ass.
While it's true that conservatives are dominant within the Republican Party, NOT all people who voted for Romney identify themselves as conservative as a political label anymore than all Republicans in elective office are considered conservative by the standards of the party hierarchy and rank and file.
But of course all 50 percent that voted for Obama were liberal right? Retard.
The real losers are the American people with this potus.
You have to be getting sick of losing...
But just remember. They're getting what they voted for. No sympathy.

Bitch please, if the Republicans would actually adhere to reality, strategize based on the facts the rest of use instead of their own version of reality and weren't terrified of everything non-white they wouldn't be a laughing stock right now.

You know, the ONLY people I ever heard call Obama the savior or the messiah are conservatives.

you may well be right, but there aren't enough whack jobs like you to win an election.

And how do the 50% of people who stayed home fit neatly into your little hallucination?While it's true that conservatives are dominant within the Republican Party, NOT all people who voted for Romney identify themselves as conservative as a political label anymore than all Republicans in elective office are considered conservative by the standards of the party hierarchy and the rank and file.

America rejected the current conservatives and the current incarnation of conservatism.
Once the absolutist, "no compromise" loons are marginalized, the party has a chance to come back. But not until then.

Well, stridency is certainly not the kind of approach that generally wins converts. But that's pretty much all I hear on talk radio. That and a great deal of contempt for people with opposing views. I certainly understand that talk radio tactics represent a business model for the hosts who often feel a need to 'outconservative' the next guy by being just that much more bombastic. Maybe they should consider the possibility that their alienating more people than they're winning over. I think that would be an interesting study to find out how talk radio influences (both pro and con) the electorate and their voting habits.

Nobody has more contempt for people of opposing views than Democrats/liberals/progressives. Witness the excoriation of ALL the blacks who dare to be Republican by party affiliation and conservative by ideals.
They have to deal with name-calling and threats of bodily harm. They must face threats of getting killed.
No liberal/Democrat/progressive has ever been threatened by Republicans for having an opposing political view.
Is it any wonder that blacks and Hispanics and gays and women don't dare to be publicly conservative after seeing what happened to those who DID dare?
For several months leading up to the 2012, conservatives seemed to be quite confident that victory was theirs...for the taking. Conservatives seemed downright cocky about it, frankly. Arrogant, really. Defiant, as well.
In fact, conservatives seemed quite confrontational toward anyone who questioned them and/or challenged them and their 'conviction' that the election was merely a formality.
And in the last week or so, several conservatives dismissed the polls and flat out predicted a Republican landslide. Michael Barone did. So did George Will. As did a host of others. Even the Romney camp was reportedly VERY confident of victory.
So, I guess I have a question, mostly for conservatives, but anyone can offer an opinion. How does it feel to realize that Americans all across the country (and in 8 out of the 9 swing states) rejected conservatism and conservatives running for office? I'm not asking anyone to reveal their emotions or their emotional state. What I'm curious to know is whether or not conservatives now see that there is a very real possibility that they erred when it came to reading the mood of the electorate. Are conservatives willing to consider the error of their ways in their stated policies and their approach to people in general and different groups? Or do conservatives just think that they need to be MORE conservative, and reject political and policy moderation even more than they already have in order to win future elections?
