The very special Dr. K. is right about this.

Mitt is a nice person. Too nice to cage fight with these lying, cheating thugs and too nice to call them out on it.

Extremism, in the defense of liberty, seems to have become a VICE in the Republican Party while extremism in promoting Communism and Racism is working very well for the Dems.....as long as you don't count the implosion of the economy and the loss of the Republic.

Zero ran a calculated campaign, by going moore negative than any campaign I can recall. Going negative suppresses the vote.
Then he made sure the church vans were fired up, ready to haul the low information voters to the polls, especially in states with early voting.
And he gave each of them a pack of cigarettes, or a pizza party, or in some cases, (columbus, ohio) crack cocaine.
that is the magic formula with kardashian voters, where being famous for being famous gets you a victory.
Our coutry has been dumbed down along with an entitlement mentality, and here we are, facing four more years of being governed by the dumbest man in the room.

Thank Heavens for a voice of reason! Ive been so tired of all the pundits saying how we need to be more moderate(liberal) to win elections.

"The country doesn’t need two liberal parties.

Since when do we sacrifice our core beliefs of smaller government to win over uninformed people that only listen to the lousy MSM if anything at all?

Romney was a good man and maybe too good to be a politician. He didnt play the game. But I for one am sick of the democrats using all the social issues like the "women's" issues to push elections. You will note we won't hear anything about it now until the next election rolls around.

If there's one consolation, Obama has inherited a big mess. Now he can show how incompetent he really is.

Dr. Charles! Just we needed! Let's get ready to kick Zero's butt and BiteMe's sorry kiester!

Have read that Zero received 10 million fewer votes than '08 and Romney 3 million fewer than McPain. According to Rush the low Repub turnout was among the base. We did pull disgruntled, disillusioned voters from the left. The question is who in the base didn't vote, anti-Mormon/anti-Catholics, Paulites, people disgusted with the whole negative mess? We'd better figure this out.

My guess... Republicans saw Romney as a "cleaned-up" McCain, and stayed home.

#5, I think it's the Ron Paul "revolution" that didn't vote. They wanted to teach the republicans "a lesson". Too bad they didn't think of the next generation.

#5, I saw many Paulites who refused to vote for Romney, and that hurt. Mr. K talks of Republicans being the party of smaller, more effective government. All this talk about abortion, same-sex marriage, contraceptives and - heaven help us! - rape does the party no good. It overrides the message of smaller, more effective government.

When you go to a job interview, you aren't asked about your positions on abortion, same-sex marriage, etc. Instead, you are asked what makes you think you are qualified to do the job. That is what the public needs to hear from those seeking public office. (And Romney's line "I know how to do it!" doesn't usually succeed in job interviews, either. Those in a hiring position want evidence more concrete than just confidence.)

Romney made a brilliant point about Big Bird, but didn't follow up after Dems laughed about it. Namely, you are paying taxes; should they be going to Big Bird, who makes x million dollars per year? What should be funded by the feds versus the states? Way more important than abortion.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

The exit polls showed more Hispanics (66%) supported abortion than did the electorate overall (59%). Pew research has shown the majority of Hispanics support gay marriage. The majority of Hispanic babies (53%) are born out of wedlock. "They're social conservatives" has been shown over and over to be a canard.

On the other hand, the majority of Hispanics in their home countries have regularly supported Marxist-leaning regimes, and that's before they get to the US where the Democrats promise ever more benefits (already at least 57% of Hispanic immigrants, both legal and illegal, receive some form of welfare) and even affirmative action preference over most long-time Americans simply for being who they are.

The idea that they are going to change their politics because we give them amnesty and the right to vote is delusional. They will only significantly increase any demographic advantage that the Democrats already have.

I suspect that the two parties had already agreed that they'd pass 'comprehensive immigration reform' before the election anyway--perhaps due to concessions to big donors in the GOP? (E.g., is Shelly Adelson a big employer of illegals in Nevada?) Otherwise, Mitt wouldn't have practically offered another $10K on-the-spot bet in his second debate with Obama. He forcefully guaranteed that he'd get comprehensive immigration reform passed in his first year. Yet all kinds of GOPe--including establishment GOPe such as Hannity and Krauthammer--have come out in support of amnesty and citizenship for illegals within two days of Romney's losing.

Either way, this was planned and promised despite the majority of Americans firmly opposing it.

If it is true republicans "stayed home" because they saw a McCain, then they deserve to get Obama again. The whiny, crybaby, traitors who stayed home are just as big a force in destroying this country as the communist Obama. A soldier doesn't always like his mission, but he still gets it done. You can always vote against someone if you can't find someone to vote for. I have no respect for a republican who refused to vote because he thought Romney was too "liberal". They can burn in h*** since they have helped saddle my sons and grandchildren with more outrageous debt.

#5 -- I'm not so sure that is true. Go look at Wisconsin. In Wisconsin, Obama lost votes, not many, but Romney won 200,000 more votes than McCain. His numbers were about the same as Bush's in 2004, but Obama was able to hold the same amount that he got in 2008.

I don't think of it as "two Liberal parties", I think of it as one communist party and not sure how to characterize the other party these days.

In my deep depression over the current victory of the Communist Party USA, the only consolation is that we do not have to endure 4 years of Romney Derangement Syndrome. Mitt is too good a man to be destroyed by the Obama adoring yellow journalists in this country.

#5, those low turnout numbers are provided by the Federal Election Commission, which, btw, reports to obama (ya know, the guy with the Photoshopped birth cert)

where I went to vote, I couldn't even park my car. Had to wait 45 minutes just to get into the building.

Have you ever known obama to make up a lie?

Wrong! Hispanics are natural consumers of the benefits of the Welfare State. Paying for it is of no interest to them.

Does Krauthammer forget he and his cronies were immediately pushing Jeb Bush and Rubio as soon as the race was called for obama.
Ballots are still being counted-----when does Congress certify the winner, because there sure is a lot of voter fraud which is being found.
Allen West was again leading Murphy as of yesterday. Colorado already has been uncovered as a massive voter fraud state. How many more?

Things have to get worse before they ever get better.
In the 1930's things got so bad that even Republicans voted for Franklin Roosevelt.
Democrats just don't trust any rich, clueless Republican like Romney. Plus they were way better organized to get out their vote because they really feared losing and Republicans were so over confident of winning and many just refused to like or vote for Romney.
When the government checks finally stop as business slows to a crawl and no tax income covers expenses and China is not lending anymore , reality will hit with a thud. Prepare! Human nature is greedy, both banks and citizens who think there is a Santa Claus.
