Hello again, tom:
What's VERY funny here, is that you think trotting out a few women, a Hispanic or two, and an Indian guy, CONSTITUTES diversity...
What you DON'T get is that you have to EMBRACE the people. Talking about electrifying the fence isn't how you do that.

Yeah, right. Coming from the side of the aisle that tells the nation's first female combat pilot to get back in the kitchen. I LOVE how the left EMBRACES diversity:
I just see people, you guys are the only ones making it about race and gender and then you discredit and/or slander any conservative that isn't white. I think you ought to be ashamed for spreading divisiveness under the guise of diversity.

It wasn't divisive when all the minorities ran away from the GOP. It was self preservation. The white guy lost because he ignored everybody but the rich white guys. He didn't talk to them (minorities), or listen. Just like conservatives don't talk or listen to any one BUT YOURSELVES!
You got what you paid for. Now forget the supply side, trickle down stuff.

Admittedly the GOP has fumbled connecting with minorities, but you got to admit that's much harder to do when your side, with media complicity, has spent the last 6 years calling us racists for no reason other than to divide and play on their fears.
But you be sure and let us know how it's working for you when your "top down" approach leads to economic ruin. The rich you hate will still be rich you know... led by Mr. 1 percent himself.

It wasn't our side talking about the 47%, self deportation or nixing the dream act, you guys did that in public and on tape. You only have yourselves to blame. Take responsibility for your actions and do better... after a mourning period for your BS of course.

I hear there is going to be some public and private blood letting over there. Personally I think it is time for generational change as well as some ideological change

But true because they actually had videos of you guys disparaging all the OTHER people. I mean damn, hard to believe a guy who has said what they would do to you. So they ran!
You see how dumb you guys sound by saying it's the media and not yourselves.

Hello again,
It's ARITHMETIC, stupid...
The REASON the Dems won is because they can COUNT.. They could add up the Hispanics.. They could add up the woman.. They could add up everybody who DIDN'T hate Obama. When they totaled up their list, they had enough.
You'd think that a Republican, who was going to SAVE the economy, could count.. Turns out, he can't..
Wheeewee. We just dodged a bullet.
Now, I understand you wingers are going to make it even EASIER to win next time, because you're going to run somebody like John Kasich next time, and you'll get SMASHED again.
We talked several times about you guys shooting yourselves in the foot. Now, you're going to double down and use a shotgun to shoot yourselves. You should know your party is in trouble when somebody asks you how the rape guy did, and you have to ask, which one.

Hello again,
Yes, I have more to say.. How do you spell mandate?? Here's how I do...
There were 10 SWING states that were up for grabs.. Obama ran the table on 9 of 'em. He's the first president since FDR to get 50% of the popular vote.
Do the Republicans think they won? They do, don't they? Silly Republicans..

The miscalculation was 2 fold:
1. The Repubics underestimated the Dem turnout
2. The base of the Repubics were NOT enthusiastic about the Romney candidacy because he is a wishy-washy center-right .

Bush got 50.73% in 2004.
The other Bush got 53.37% in 1988
Reagan got 58.77% in 1984
Reagan got 50.75% in 1980
Even Carter got 50.08% in 1976
Nixon got 60.67% in 1972
LBJ got 61.05% in 1964
Ike got 57.37% in 1956
Ike got 55.18% in 1952
I can count. Not impressed by 50.4 by Mr. Hopenchange.

The dow has many factors that determine whether it goes upor down but when its down then its people selling not buying. Rich guys make money and they needed money to recoup their losses from those super pacs against Obama!!
They lost BILLIONS!!

An analysis of the market’s reaction to all presidential elections since 1900 found the Dow’s day-after reaction to be an unreliable if not misleading indicator about the market’s direction for the next four years. Read: Interpreting the market’s day-after reaction.
There you go assuming Obama is making the sky fall again!

So you'd want your candidate to be *further* right? That would be an interesting election cycle for sure.

The right continues to believe that this is a center right country. Its not. That assumption was why they lost!
