Don't get so excited. Like I said several times before, I'm no Romney fan. It's about what Obama wants vs what he can actually get implemented. And as much as you and the rest of the libs might joke, McCarthy was correct.
Romney never said leaches did he...lol.
But yet Obama wanted people to vote for revenge.
No but the government internally can be run just like a business. It has a budget, it has employees, it has bills and it has most everything else a normal business has.
10.5 trillion was on the books before Obama took office. Obama raised that to 16 trillion in just four years. And you're an idiot if you think what Obama was handed was all Bush's fault.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

It's become the platform to pander to angry white males. Even Republicans are questioning the platform's future if it can't move past it.

I'm pretty sure the person Mitt was as Governor could have possibly won. But the shell he evolved into for the GOP was an anchor around his neck, along with some of his comments.
Why Mitt Lost
He couldn’t separate himself from the Republican Party’s growing extremism.
Like the article I posted about Santorum hopefully being the end of an era, hopefully this election will bring the fall of the Tea Partiers who have skewed the GOP more extreme and illogical, and can return the party to something more people can connect with and respect.This failure began with the spectacle of the extended primary season, which was dominated by candidates with views far outside the political mainstream. Rick Santorum rejected the separation of church and state. Newt Gingrich challenged the notion of judicial supremacy. Michele Bachmann claimed the government had been infiltrated by radical Muslims. Donald Trump refused to recognize the validity of Obama’s birth certificate. Rick Perry wanted to take down more parts of the federal government than he could successfully name. In the debates, the country saw the GOP talking to itself and sounding like a bizarre fringe party, not a responsible governing one.
Romney is not a right-wing extremist. To win the nomination, though, he had to feign being one, recasting himself as “severely conservative” and eschewing the reasonableness that made him a successful, moderate governor of the country’s most liberal state. He had to pass muster with his party’s right-wing base on taxes, immigration, climate change, abortion, and gay rights. Many of his statements on these issues were patently insincere, but that was hardly reassuring. Romney’s very insincerity and flexibility made it improbable that he would stand up to the GOP’s hyper-partisan congressional wing once elected any more than he had during the primaries.
Romney’s pandering to the base made it possible for the Obama campaign to portray him as a right-wing radical from the start of the campaign. Fear that he didn’t have the base locked down kept Romney from moving smoothly to the center once he had secured the nomination. It further encouraged his choice of Paul Ryan, a popular figure with the Tea Party. And when Romney tried, much too late, to move closer to the center, Republican Senate candidates, like Todd Akin in Missouri and Richard Mourdock in Indiana, kept popping up with disgusting reminders of the GOP’s retrograde views on gender issues. For women, Latinos, and young voters tempted to abandon Obama, the old Romney might have been a plausible alternative. The new Romney, fettered by a feverish GOP, was too risky a choice. According to exit poll results, Romney won men as expected, but lost among women by 11 points—too large a gender gap to be overcome.
Demographic change and better economic circumstances stand to make the Republican road back to the White House an even steeper climb in future years. Simply put, the party has to present a more conciliatory and reasonable face to sell itself to swing voters. To do that, it must elevate its own moderate voices, cut loose its theocrats, and liberate itself from the domination of Tea Party know-nothings.
So let the season of Republican recriminations begin. The GOP now faces the challenge of self-examination and internal reform that Democrats began to undertake after losing twice to Ronald Reagan. It desperately needs the kind of centrist reform movement that was led on the other side by the Democratic Leadership Council, which paved the way for the election of a centrist Democrat named Bill Clinton. Without that sort of renewal movement, the 2012 election may come to be seen less as a fluke than a harbinger.Comment

For somebody that claims to be educated you certainly know how to make yourself sound uneducated. Good job.
Agreed. The GOP has become the party of religious nut jobs and teabaggers, bankrolled by business interest that find them politically useful. If they want to win presidential elections in the future they need to stop letting themselves be dominated by retards. Oh yeah and keep banging on about the evils of immigrants. The growing latino vote is loving it.Last edited by tjts1; 11-07-2012, 09:08 AM.
