Whom do you think?  Why do you think Ryan was on the ticket?  Do you think that Romney was lying when he said he&#039;d &quot;repeal&quot; Obamacare?

Hey, Mr. Obama showed Mr. Romney the way when he decided to selectively enforce laws.  That&#039;s all Mr. Romney had to do -- not enforce and wait for legislative backup.]]></description>

I refuse to vote for evil. Evil Republicans are still evil. Romney Care is Evil. Romneys record was totally evil. He was a marxist and praised his father just last night a confirmed marxist that learned it from Saul Alisky himself.

		<description><![CDATA[Obama&#039;s biggest problem is that his only skill is campaigning.  He can&#039;t even manage a 3-iron, let alone a country.  Now that there is nothing left to campaign for, he is kind of like the high profile pro athlete retiring at 32.  He won&#039;t have a clue what to do now.  It&#039;s just not in his very limited skill set.

The media may be a little tougher on him, and his constituency may expect him to &quot;help a brother out.&quot;  The latter won&#039;t happen, but they will ultimately forgive him.  He will blame the Republican house for gridlocking his brilliant recovery policies, and it&#039;s all good to their way of thinking.

After he adds another 5 trillion to the debt, passes out more &quot;free stuff,&quot; and degrades our currency to the level of the Greek drachma over the next four years, his legacy will be the blame of the Republican house for their obstruction.  I can only hope that his daughters will endure the same economic hardship the rest of this county&#039;s children will.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The realignment was to the TAKERS.  This has nothing at all to do with parties or principles.  It has everything to do with people who think someone should give them what others have busted their ass to acquire for themselves.  

&lt;blockquote&gt;When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic. -B. Franklin&lt;/blockquote&gt;

This is exactly what happened in this last election.  Now...if someone has a solution to change this mindset I am all ears.  Until then I will take care me and mine first, offer material help to those in need, and simply get better prepared.  I&#039;m a news and political junkie along with most of the rest of you but I&#039;ll be damned if I will participate in another &quot;How much you gonna give me&quot; election cycle.]]></description>

So what do they do?  The same thing Democrats have... whine, b!tch and moan until you get your own way, effectively turning their own game against them .]]></description>

I never thought that or predicted it, but interestingly, the threats by blacks towards whites have increased exponetially on the internet.  The death threats against Romney and his supporters continue a-pace.  There&#039;s one of you who yesterday, here, on another thread told anyone living in the midwest or the south that Obamacare was designed to kill them, which was, he said, a great thing.

Oh, and BTW, there are places in my state where white people have been targeted by gangs of young black men.  One white person attacked by only black people.  They are beaten and left for dead...and there&#039;s no robbery.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;America is going to be okay. 

Did you gun rights get taken away the last 4 years? No.

Did you get put in FEMA re-education camps? No

Did black people enslave white people? No (Though I bet right now a lot of you wish we never had gotten the right to vote.)

Did any of the hysterical nonsense you guys were spewing the last time he won happen, No.

Actually everything I feared and predicted turned out to be worse.  I thought the media would keep the excesses in check.  They don&#039;t even report them.  I thought the courts would keep the excesses in check.  Not a chance.

I have no idea about FEMA re-education camps.  I do know that there&#039;s a farmer who&#039;s facing fines and jail for digging holes to catch rain water.  I know there&#039;s a man in California rousted out of bed at 1:00 am by armed men and now sitting in jail for violating Obama&#039;s speech laws.  I know a terrorist attack on our soil is being called &quot;workplace violence; I know a Commander in Chief who refused to lift a finger to save men who were sent by him to do our work and then he lied, and continues, to lie about it.

I know that the mad spending to reward political cronies has speeded us forward to the fiscal cliff.  It will happen.

You know the next huge bailout?  California.  The total corruption of California&#039;s government has caught up with them and those of us who didn&#039;t do this purposeful dead?  We will pay for it.

The rubicon has been passed.  Obamacare.  There is no hope whatsoever of avoiding the disaster which looms...unless the 12th Imam gets his bombs here first.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;If you’ve got 2.5 minutes, libertarian-based Reason.com’s Nick Gillespie explains it all for you . . . seriously, he really does.

3 Reasons Mitt Romney and Republicans Lost Big in Election 2012

RomanticIdeal on November 7, 2012 at 11:11 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It boiled down to social issues which this country is so obsessed with at the present it can&#039;t see how devastatingly poor our country is becoming. Who cares about debt when we got gov&#039;t handouts and gay marriage and abortion to worry about? People want their stuff now! 

And (illegal) immigration? Really? Let&#039;s not worry about what is causing our dept, let&#039;s continue to pander to those who commit crimes and steal money.

		<description><![CDATA[What the country needs is REAL conservative leadership by TRUE Americans, and when Allen West gets back to D.C. he will be the lone beacon of shining light on the hill and lead our great party and country out of the Obama nightmare.
Wait....what?
Well, at least the gay marriage initiatives got trounced!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;That reality presents a challenge to the GOP and to conservatives.  We do not need to change our values, but we do need to find ways to communicate them in an engaging and welcoming manner.  We need to think creatively about big issues, philosophy, and how we can relate conservative values to the needs of a wider range of voters.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Any concrete ideas, EM? This sounds like some BS to me.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;If you’ve got 2.5 minutes, libertarian-based Reason.com’s Nick Gillespie explains it all for you . . . seriously, he really does.

3 Reasons Mitt Romney and Republicans Lost Big in Election 2012&lt;/blockquote&gt;

1 and 2 I might agree with, but #3....the government does need to stay out of the bedroom, but for the religious who actually follow the tenants of their faith in supporting traditional marriage and saving the life of an unborn...they need to freaking not seem like a bumbling fool when defending their position. 

There&#039;s a way to defend life, and then there&#039;s Akin&#039;s way (I didn&#039;t think Mourdock was too much of a flock, but following Akin........). 

We need to select candidates who can actually defend their position without seeming like an idiot.  Yes, the media is out to get us, all the more reason to select somebody who can actually articulate and explain it in a way that the media can&#039;t twist it out of control.]]></description>
