I saw the campaign leaders blaming the American public for "Not understanding." Fucking idiots. A guy laid off, family relying on Social Health, someone getting a small wage gets it better than they do. Micheal Douglas summed up Repubs problem beautifully in a film.
"Their problem isn't that they don't get it. Their problem is, THEY CAN'T SELL IT."
Well not using people Palin, Romney Ryan, can't even remember the names of he other guys trying to get nominated to stand for the race as a Repub. I remember Romney was one of the better ones. 
This is from one of their page.
Obama is the American dream. Romney is the American nightmare and does more to undermine for Americans than Obama ever will. The Repubs talk as if getting up the ladder or even staying on it, is exclusively for them. Well those who have or had rich Dads. |
The republican strategist on CNN was a woman and she started a discussion that made some great points. She said that the republicans are never going to be pro-life. Nor are they going to become pro-gay rights. However, they took a step back in this campaign and many of them seemed to be anti-contraception for women and there were a few who even seemed like they had no sympathy for women who had been raped.
Those types of attitudes are going to get the party nowhere. She was saying that those who want to take the party and the country back to how things were in the 1950's are just going to hold the party back. Things are different now and they party needs to realize that. They are facing a new generation that is more liberal when it comes to social issues and so far are showing themselves to vote democrat. They are seeing a quickly growing non-white population and they are seeing states like Virginia and Colorado starting to have more and more moderates and left leaning independents moving into them and changing the landscape of the electoral map.
If they don't address these issues they will have a lot of trouble get presidents elected.
