How do you lose to Obama?

[R.D.]

We did, but they will blame us for not getting in line for Mittens and giving the election to Obama

As deserved. ABO should have kicked in when you failed to get your way. Instead you took your ball and went home. For bragging rights?

But according to mainline republicans we are completely insignificant so it shouldn't have mattered, right?

So hurt feelings made you pull for obama?

 

[ZagZagel]

It couldn't possibly be that the American people rejected the far right's policy's could it? I've read dozens of articles\posts today by people on the right blaming Romney and the media, saying that people voted to be dependent, and trying to paint the President as a flimflam man who pulled the wool over peoples eyes, but that just doesn't hold up to any reasonable person. The Republicans lost this fair and square, as the saying goes "it was a team effort, and I guess it took every player working together to lose this one."

The Republicans love to paint themselves as being the party of small government and fiscal responsibility, ranting and raving about social programs and the national debt, while ignoring our bloated military budget and trying to lower our already historically low tax rates. There is nothing responsible(fiscally or otherwise) about just blindly cutting programs that many people rely upon to keep from being homeless or to keep their kids healthy and nourished. There is nothing responsible about adding more money to a military budget that is larger than the next 10 countries combined. There is nothing small about a government that dictates what a loving relationship between consenting adults should look like or that try's to control what women can do with their own bodies.

Despite how the right sees it, practically no-one wants to be on government assistance. Yes there are some who do take advantage, but they are few and you'll find essentially no-one who defends their actions. Government assistance was the last option for the vast majority of those who are on it, but it's the only way for them to keep their heads above water. I, and the vast majority of Democrats, would love to see far less people on food stamps, welfare, and medicaid, but the way to do it is to reduce the NEED for those programs, not by just blindly cutting them leaving people homeless, hungry, and sick. If the Republican party really wants to lower the number of people on these programs, they need to come up with realistic and reasonable ways to help people out of needing them, not just telling them they are on their own.

Oh, I know, you run a flip flopping RINO and pander to the irrelevant social issues of a fundamentalist religious bloc while neglecting a limited constitutional government platform.

The only saving grace is we never have to see Mittens again.

Unfortunately, we still have Barry.

Unfortunately, we still have Barry.

Yes, and a lot of happy world leaders, including Iran and Russia.

Just proves that all you have to do is fool a majority of people living in key electoral states that know no better.

It is much, much easier to fool people than it is to convince them they have been fooled.

Serve more Cake. and watch the masses eat it up.

No, dummy. 'Let them eat cake' was the super-wealthy ruling class shitting on the poor.

No, integrity adn principle forced my hand to vote for Johnson. I didn't even really like the guy, but maybe next time republicans will get the memo about not nominating the biggest LOLberal flip flopper in the psuedo-conservative sect of the party.

Obama's decision to bailout the auto industry and his backing from blue collar workers in Ohio has helped him win a victory in Ohio and most of Ohio's voters say they were in favour of the auto bailout and voters in union households were solidly behind Obama. Obama had less support from independent voters and white working class voters but Obama had a 29% edge among youth voters who showed up at polling stations in droves in Ohio and Romney's economic policy only appealed to middle class voters who were marginalised in swing states, which was in turn Obama's strength in the battleground states.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

It can't have had anything to do with Mitt writing off half of the country as worthless moochers or the entire GObP working against jobs and FOR the one percent. It can't be related to Mitt's more than 600 lies or the teepotters promising jobs but not voting on even one jobs bill.

Since January 2011, TheTeaPottyRepublican'ts have introduced

44 bills on Abortion,
99 on Religion
71 on Family Relationsh**ips,
36 on Marriage
67 on Firearms and Guns
522 on Taxation
and 445 on "Governmen**t Investigat**ions"

AND OF COURSE 33 ATTEMPTS TO REPEAL THE ACA

AND THE AYN RAND PAUL RYAN BUDGET

IT'S VULTURE/VOUCHERISM

But, not even one jobs bill.

But that can't be it, right?

(Note that Ryan is right back on the same committee so, we're back to gridlock.)

You have a Republican run against him.

No you lose when you can't appeal to anyone but whites. You lose when you can not compete with a blatantly Biased Main stream Media. You lose when more than half of the Voters are now on the Dole.

We didn't just lose an Election last night. We lost the country, and we will not get it back.

It's over.

No. It proves you can fool some of the people some of the time but not even all the money the Kochs, Adelson, Trump, Bush's Brain and other uber-gazillionaires can fool all of the people all of the time.

America is not for sale.

It is a real testimony to Americans that the Koch brothers and Donald Trump could not buy the election.

Of course they couldn't. Obama and the Dems had already bought it with 850 Billion Dollars of Tax Payer money, and the Auto Bail out.

Last night proved the best way to Buy an Election is government spending.

 

[Nosmo King]

The Conservatives have all framed their questions on how to win on a fatally flawed premise. That Obama supporters are both essentially politically stupid and that Obama himself is a Socialist. If the Conservatives had the intellectual wherewithal to take off their partisan glasses and honestly examine how th vote fell and who voted, perhaps then they could ferret out a workable solution. But to assume the worst and campaign on a false assumption will get you second place every time.

But partisanship and Conservative ideology is served up like a tenet of faith to the contemporary American Conservative. Awash in his own righteousness and convinced of his political infallibility, the contemporary American Conservative will inevitably waddle up to a podium, pronounce nearly half of the electorate either stupid (see Limbaugh) or victims (see Romney), puff on a cigar, turn on his heels and fall flat on his face on Election Night as the totals come in from places other than the NASCAR south or Appalachian Trailer Parks.

The revenge of PBS is a dish best served cold. Legitimate rape is a failing issue. And letting Detroit go bankrupt is a prescription for electoral suicide.

You didn't like him, or Romney so you kid yourself that helping obama was respectable? Pffft, whatever helps you cope

Vote for the Obama? Why would I vote for a candidate that goes against my entire philosophy on the proper role of government? I wouldn't and didn't. That includes Romney.

However, unlike many republicans, I don't care about who marries who, what a woman does with her body, or anything anyone does or believes in so long as someone is not violating my constitutional rights.

You didn't lost this election because of Ronmey. You lost it because of the Republican platform and the stated views of the RNC and Republican candidates on the various issues, cheif among them being abortion, women's rights and taxation.

No election should be about people - it should be about platforms. I think this one was.

Way to ignore everything I said, and the reality of how the world really works. like it or not these programs are the best way to deal with the problems, not just for the people being helped, but for our country as a whole. You all seem to think you can just cut the money and everything will work itself out, and if not oh well fuck 'em not my problem, but that's just not the reality. Without government assistance the rates of homelessness, disease, malnourishment, crime, and several other problems that effect us all, would soar. You can sit around all day spouting your ideological views but those of us with a reality-based view of the world know better.

Again, I would LOVE to get people off these programs, but there is a right way and a wrong way, and just cutting them is the wrong way. We need to help these people grow their way out of them, and if the Republicans(or anyone for that matter) could come up with a reasonable way to do that I would be more than happy to give it a chance.

Doing things to help the people is buying an election? What type of person are you? Actually, I think that I already know the answer to that question.
