Regardless of how it went down, the left won. Whether it be through lies and corruption, or legit. Chalk it up to they cheated better. Who knows.
The GOP just needs to push for better candidates. They need to start doing what the GOP is supposed to do, and that's being more fiscal and constitutional conservative. Put forth a candidate that's not radical. Someone who actually wants to cut spending, cut the size and scope of government, end lobbying and a whole slew of other things that conservatives can get behind.
Seriously, Since at least Reagan, we've had GOP presidents who claimed to be conservative, but once they're elected, they suddenly stop being that way. They have to start giving republicans and conservatives both a reason to keep voting republican. When that happens, you'll see a lot of moderate democrats start voting Republican, because getting the government out of our personal and business lives, the value of the dollar getting better, the debt actually coming down, and all of the things that would come with a conservative ran government would start happening and the economy would actually boom naturally. Instead of it booming because the government pumps so much artificial capital into the economy. Which is what creates the boom and busts.
My point: A party that the majority of the people can stick with, because it creates the type of government that very few have to lean on.
The way things are, it's like a society of 40yr olds still living in their parents basement. Too many people put too much faith in government, because the government has convinced them to do so. They've made it so that life is easier when you depend on the government. Like Communism. People get used to only getting what the government is dishing out, they become complacent. This is as much the GOP's fault as it is the democrats, for the simple fact that even when the GOP has the majority, they don't change anything the democrats created.
