No, when nearly 60 million of us voted for Romney, that shows the US is not anywhere near extinction.

Doesn’t matter. Obamacare and whatever other liberal programs the dems get passed during this Obama term will be here to stay forever. Over the next 4 years, the supreme court will move solidly into democrat control for the next 30 years or more, and will rubber stamp any and every liberal argument that crosses their desk. Yeah, the country is pretty much done. This was the last, best hope of taking it back. The voters chose big government liberalism while buying into the sleaziest, most dishonest campaign ever run in modern history. They got what they wanted, and it’s here forever now. Even if we manage to win in the future, it won’t matter. There is no undoing the damage that has been done at this point.

Supposedly Poison Palin still outperformed your Mr Electable at a time when Obama was still the Unknown Chicago Jesus.

The madness of the nistas continues. On the bright side, I think mental health is covered by Obamacare.

Sorry, but there is NO reason not to understand that the United States of America is a failed experiment that is existing on fumes and will soon utterly collapse.

The election just barely tipped over to Obama, so it’s true that Romney nearly managed to win after all. So you have an excellent point. This is the one positive to take away.

But there’s no denying that Obama should have never been in the running. He absolutely failed on the economy, our credit rating has been downgraded for the first time in history — TWICE! — and he utterly failed to even pass a budget at any time in his administration.

So what do you call a complete failure like that? Mr. President.

Romney was playing by the old rules, those don’t work anymore. It’s a blood feud now, to the knife, and you have to play to destroy the other guy.

This. Unfortunately, we ‘learned’ this lesson last time.

How did putting Chris Christie on a pedestal work out for you Mitt?
How did ignoring people like Newt Gingrich & Sarah Palin work out for you Mitt?

This I will never understand.

Many of them like Democrats a lot more than they do conservatives.

I agree with him here.

You lost. Palin got 3 million more votes Obama 7 million more votes, 2 fewer states than Romney all all her conservative proxies across the country got wiped out, even before Obama turned out to be a mess.

It also easier to GOTV when all of their voters are concentrated into small areas.

The Count on November 7, 2012 at 5:03 PM

True. But those small areas are, by and large, suffering. Until the GOP has a candidate who can convince the people of a dying city like Detroit that there’s a better life out there, we’ll continue to be a 46% (or less) party. It should be an easy task. Democrats have destroyed that great city, like they have so many others. People there survive on welfare and a hollow sense of superiority, built on lies.

But if you can get your message through, in that crowded space, it will spread like wildfire. People don’t want to suffer. They’re called to better lives. Californians are fleeing to Texas as surely as Mexicans are coming to America. We need to appeal to that yearning.
