Ohhh, silly rabbit. Just like Romney, you forgot about the women.😛

Actually I didn't forget about the women. I just chose not to open that can of worms. I had something typed out, but deleted it.

Rest assured, I didn't forget about the female demographic, and, yes, you too were pandered to and taken advantage of (Sandra Fluke? Wasn't she key note speaker at the Liberal convention or something? Give me a BREAK! Little rich, entitled snob wants to shack up with anything with 3 legs, and demands that the government pay for her contraceptives? Are we serious, folks? I guess we the American taxpayers should also be on the hook for the extinguishing of any stupid babies that get in her way as well?). Good luck over the next 4 years. I'll make sure to stay in my foxhole and redouble my efforts at work to maintain worthiness so I'm hopefully not cast out among the wolves in the nightmare of a job market.

When Obama leaves office, this country will be about 22 Trillion in debt that it can no longer possibly pay, on the verge of complete economic collapse, with fuel prices and energy prices through the roof, and facing a nuclear-armed Iran.

Again, well done. You and yours ensured us of these things and so much more.

And a Republican is going to be voted in to try and clean up all the mess, and he (or she) will get totally blamed when all the cuts are made.

I'd just as soon have the Progressive Liberals stay in control for the next 8 to 12 years, so they can't escape laying in the bed they are making right now.

Hey! At least gay marriage is legal in more states, and recreational use of marijuana is now legal in 2 states! You're making real, positive change, folks! Just give it a couple more decades and the extreme makeover will be complete. Soon enough, we will be indistinguishable from Western Europe. And.. just look at Western Europe! Things are going so perfectly over there! Who wouldn't want to govern just like that. (and no that is not a personal attack on Europeans. As a matter of fact, I dig European folks more than most Americans. It's the semi-Socialist governing that has gotten you guys into major trouble, and that's what I'm talking about. Governments just can't sustain that kind of stuff over the long haul without going completely broke. And you can't argue that it isn't catching up to y'all as we speak... because it is. Your entire continent is belly up broke, and the lynch mobs are in line, torches lit, demanding their promised handouts.)

Republicans baffled! No idea WHAT went wrong...

and therein lies the problem.

Yes, the Republican Party better get its stuff together unless it wants to go completely extinct. Therein DOES lie the problem. Many (but certainly not all) of the Republican ideals are fine and good, but, the way they package their message makes the majority of Americans feel like they are being scolded by Grandpa. It just doesn't work anymore. Major rebranding is necessary.

Personally, I think I'm even more sickened that Congressman Alan West lost his re-election bid in Florida. He is my favorite politician. Ever. Now he's a man with enough intestinal fortitude to feed an entire country.

And as was EASILY predictable, the stock market basically crashed in the wake of Obama's re-election. Business owners and investors realize it's going to be another 4 years of sheer agony. And, like they did the last 4 years, they are going to hold on to their billions and not dare to invest, as long as Obama is in power; and that's not out of spite, it's because they are terrified to expand and hire when Obama creates a new regulation or law every other day that destroys their bottom line. NO ONE wanted Obamacare, but he rammed it through anyway and now tells business owners they will be fined and/or imprisoned if they don't participate.

The next 4 years will mirror the last; weak, sluggish economy; a job market in dire straits; gas and energy prices skyrocketing; higher taxes; higher prices across the board for goods and commodities; Federal debt ceiling raised by the trillions every year; more people living in poverty than ever in our lifetimes; a higher and higher percentage of the population on food stamps; partisan bickering and gridlock; enemies abroad emboldened and increasingly aggressive... and on and on...

The thoroughly educated voice of the American people has been heard! We want 4 more years of this stuff! It's awesome!

Oh come on, Kewpie, are you the forum police or what. Let it go.

Scolded? You can gift wrap republican ideas and spray them with perfume and they still suck.

This used to be the land of opportunity, republicans want the money all to stay with the rich in hopes it trickles down. Part of this tactic is less money for the government. They cut spending in education but build their war machines to protect companies that profit off obsolete fuel. Republicans don't care about the environment. It's a laundry list of bad ideas that benefit a few but not the people as a whole.

So long as Fox News is able to blatantly misrepresent the truth there will be a large number of people voting against their best interest, but it wasn't enough to fool the majority last time or this time.

I get what you are saying, no platform is absolutely perfect, but, Republicans want more money and control in the hands of ALL the people, and less money and power in the hands of the government. I happen to agree with this philosophy, and so did our founding fathers.

Yes, in a true free market society, big business does necessarily gain power. But if I had to choose between business or government wielding the power, I choose business. Why? Because when business owners have power, the people can still at least make a difference, by investing their money somewhere else. But, when government wields all the power, the people either get in line or go to jail.

The Liberal platform of handouts and safety nets is a thinly veiled agenda to pander for votes and grow government.

The Liberterians and Tea Party are more in line with my philosophy on government. Problem is, folks like Ron Paul have such weak foreign policies, they are too dangerous to put in power. The Progressives literally laugh at the thought of a nuclear-armed Iran... they call it a Republican "bogeyman" that will never happen. We'll see, but by most estimations, Iran will be armed with a nuclear weapon before Obama leaves office... in fact the timing will probably be impeccable. Obama will step down in 2017, and hand the keys over to some poor sap who will be faced with impossible debts and deficits, and imminent war in the Middle East (if not imminent world war, but that's a stretch)

At this point, the debates forum is calling, but just to make one minor point before you are moved there, are you seriously sugesting that the republicans, who left office immediately before our current president was installed, gave him an easy ride?

Didn't they leave him with a war on two fronts in the middle east?
Didn't they leave him with a collapsed economy?
Didn't they leave him with UN inspectors struggling to navigate nuclear installation inspections in Iran?

You can not possibly be as stupid as your posts are suggesting. Politics, and life in general, are more complicated than the 30 second sound bites your are spewing. Our president has done the best job he can with the hand he was dealt by his republican predecessors, just as the president following him will do the best s/he can with the hand s/he is dealt, no matter which party s/he most closely identifies with. Don' t be such a cry baby.

The new US flag 😞
