In response to:
Gingrich and Perry on Bain, and because Mitt Romney had to pretend to be more conservative than we all know he really is. Yes, Obama is a bad president. Doesn't matter. Yes, you won independents - but not by enough. And, you chased just enough away with the gay bashing and war on Christmas nonsense, that a guy who should not possibly have won, did so anyway. I have written here for months if Romney loses it is the fault of conservatives and I stick with it. You blew it and now we all have four more years.
Lukewarm. That's the feeling I get from the election numbers.
Turnout was apparently down, at least as a percentage of eligible voters. The president was re-elected by a reduced margin. The challenger didn't inspire the turnout surge he needed.
Every re-elected president since Andrew Jackson has won with an increased popular vote percentage. Barack Obama didn't. He won 53 percent to 46 percent in 2008. His numbers as I write are 50 percent to 48 percent over Mitt Romney. That could go up to 51 percent to 48 percent when California finishes its count, which took five weeks in 2008.
Obama owes most...
And "East-Coast Establishment" and RINO and Rove and "republican" potty are not bad, too.
American politics is like Shakespeare's Globe's actors.
Except back then the men played the men and the girlyboys played the women.
And nowadays the one play the "Democrats" and the other, the "republicans."
Bring back President-elect Sarah Louise Ronald Wilson Reagan Heath Palin!
You moderates are a joke.
You nominate your dream candidate, everything you ever hoped and prayed for in a nominee over the objections of conservatives, a northeast, blue state, Massachusetts center-left clown who went out of his way to avoid social issues like the plague, even going so far as to say "its not part of my campaign" when millions of Americans were standing in line for a chicken sandwich to make a statement about real tolerance and stand against the repressive tolerance of PC, a Marxist construct and the liberal elites, the ultimate orgasmic candidate for "moderate" (i.e. liberal) Republicans like Jen Rubin and company, he promptly got his fanny kicked ... and conservatives are to blame.
Are you on dope?
