Fly your flags at half staff

[Si modo]

I guess I did. I'm still missing it. Oh well.

We have gone from the Great Decider to the Great Divider. Will the Dems and Obama stop crying racism NOW?

If you believe that this nation is divided because of only one party, you have not yet learned that two do the tango.

I do acknowledge that, but the first priority is winning.

So, if it gets a party win, divide the country. Awesome.

Not for me. Thanks. I am an American.

The Democrats didn't have to do much to win. The Obama campaign was actually pretty quiet. All they really had to do was sit back and let the far rightists open their mouths and insert their feet. Enough times of women hearing about they don't get pregnant if it's a real rape and you lose their vote. Enough posturing about immigration and an increasingly diverse population will not vote for you. It's not that complicated. It's not my fault that moderate Americans see the GOP as a white, exclusionary party in which few people other than WASPs have a voice. I've been a fairly moderate Republican for over 20 years, and I feel increasingly like I don't have a voice anymore either. I haven't left the party yet, but I am feeling increasingly unwelcome. The party has been hijacked by the wing-nuts and the Tea Party, so get used to losing.

Mitt lost this election because he insulted more than half the electorate.

It's almost as though he wanted to lose, in my opinion

As am I. I've been a Republican for over 20 years. Why is it I feel increasingly unwelcome in my own party? What has changed? I'm not interested in what the Democrats are doing wrong. I'd rather focus on what MY party is doing wrong.

The GOP should start working with the President. That would solve the division right away. But of course, that isn't want you meant; right?

The number two and the tango escape you.

Of course. You're a moron. So.....

I'd say that pandering to the fundmentalist zealots was bound to sooner or later come back to bite the GOP on the ass, for one thing.

Because the masters of the GOP should have known that sooner or later their social agenda was going to alienate WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too many Americans.

I liken this mistake to the tactical error the Dems made when they elected to get in bed the radical feminists back in the 70s.

That cost the DNC the presidency and brought us the REAGAN years, in my opinion.

In my opinion the GOP has become arrogant.

Mitts 47% quip is a good example of that.

I mean seriously...it's one thing to feel that way, but entirely another thing to SAY that in public.

Republicans didn't lose the election. Americans lost the election. We were outvoted by socialists and communists.

Don't fly the flag at half mast. Take it down.

Great nations always commit suicide. That's what we did.

It appears Romney ran a lousy campaign. He lost in Michigan and in his adopted home town of Belmont, MA. He could have done some good, if he were elected, he simply could not convey his message to the everyman.

Romney lost momentum while Obama was getting his photo ops after Sandy. It didn't matter that FEMA was f'ing it up either b/c the press had his back like they did for Benghazi.

There was nothing Romney could have done to change this. Obama cheated on foreign campaign donations and then he effectively got out the shallow but effective message to the TMZ electorate.

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

We've been here before. Circa 1938. A depression from corporate croneyism, big government corruption, a despot in office and evil factions militarizing themselves while we pretend everything is hunky dory.

We just lost thousands if not millions more lives in the upcoming WWIII.

Yeah, those war-mongering Democratic administrations. What we need is a good, isolationist administration run by neocons.

I think you got it reversed brah. Obama is going to stand by while all manner of evil is committed.

Poor Mitt, you have to wonder why he'd even get involved when it's so obvious that he had no chance.

It's about time that you wake up and smell the coffee. You sound like Joseph McCarthy. It's really scary where you fanatics are coming from. You'd think a good bitch slapping like you received last night might wake you up, but I have my doubts. Many like you will double down and swear that last night happened because you didn't nominate candidates who were conservative enough.

Auditor you know they do so hate the truth !!!

As opposed to some neocon, Republican president, whose foreign policy consists of reusing to enter into diplomatic relations with foreign nations and preemptive strikes?

For starters, neo con is your label. I don't identify with that, nor does any other conservative I know. It's just a label meant to sound detrimental like neo nazi.

And it's clear whose side Obama is on when it comes to Iran/Israel. Words are cheap. Actions mean something.

Mitt performed decently enough in the popular vote. The general problem is the GOP doesn't know how to target demographics except to insult them, which is exactly why the states with all the electoral votes went to Obama. Additionally, there is simply oratory flare. Let's face it. Obama can read a Dr. Seuss book and make it sound Presidential.

You make an excellent observation about the Dems in the 70's. Courting radicals always ends badly for any party. Unfortunately, the GOP has been so inundated by tin foil wearing extremists that it will take a virtual GOP Civil War to do anything about it. And one is coming, believe me. The GOP cannot afford to let this continue.

It seems that calling a sitting president a divider isn't a new trend at all!

 

[bobcollum]

It's all too bad really.

I wanted to use 'The Great Alienator' for President Romney.

Ah well.

Oh Pul-leeze! Can you be anymore of a sore loser. Maybe you can talk your state into seceding.
