Analysis of Romney's defeat

Give me a break, if this was the Bush admin, you'd be screaming for justice...
Teflon Obama

Lol at Democrat triumphalism in this thread/forum.

After 8 years of being branded as traitors under Bush and 4 years of being godless communists who support a Kenyan insurgent, we deserve a bit of triumphalism.

So, after the mourning period, outside of elections, people will rally round and support their president and head of state, as is the patriotic, American way, right?

Hopefully. It's up to McConnell and Boehner to prove they actually care more about governing than destroying Obama.

Come on, that was a big mess that the media refused to give any air time. If such a thing happened under a republican president, it would have been front page news for weeks..

Well there was this big mess called 9/11/2001, where we all knew Bush screwed up but rallied behind him for the sake of the country.

Then there's the fact that the claims of 'traitor!' and 'impeach obama!' have no basis in reality. But then again, if you watch Fox news or it's Australian equivalent, you're used to non-fact based reporting so I can't blame you.

Is there anything worse than letting our own flesh and blood die, on the basis of practicality?

Well we could've gone on a retaliatory rampage and leveled a few Libyan towns because they're all terrorists over there ya know. Or we could just impeach a President for something he isn't directly at fault over.

But you're going to say he is - so we might as well stop posting about it.

yeah, thats the same reasoning the catholic church has. look how that is turning out.

How did they get brought into this?

I also thought the church was growing worldwide in spite of the child-rapage-rampage of the past 20+ years.

We totally impeached that guy over the multiple intelligence failures of the original 9/11.

I wouldn't be. Obama, unfortunately, is not the Kwisatz Haderach. If a president was the Kwisatz Haderach then I would be blaming him.
If I wanted to criticize Obama's foreign policy, Benghazi would be pretty low on the list.

Once the dust settled, so to speak, the outrage was there... and still is.
Of course, those intelligence failures started under Clinton (well, really Bush Sr).

Given that CH is Australian, I'd imagine it's working out quite well.

I am the first of many fleeing the commie fascist government of Obama.

News flash: The US government isn't perfect. More at 11.

Anything that goes wrong under the Dems: Proof of their incompetence or evil.

Anything that goes wrong under the GOP: Proof of unavoidable or unforeseeable obstacles, or cheating by the dems. (Sandy's a great example. "Who'd have thought that a dramatic real-world event might influence an election!?" "Who'd have thought that a disaster might happen in the US!?".) Look at the analysis of Romeny's defeat coming from conservative sources and you'll see that's a major theme for many,

It's human nature to avoid blame... but it's also it's Marketing 101 to hype your product's weakness as strengths: The GOP hasn't called itself the "Party of personal responsibility." for nothing.

Not in the librul lamestream media.

And since you appear to have done it approximately 30 years before he first entered office, that's impressive foresight, sir!

Well most people weren't expecting such action, but in Libya, there were plenty of warnings that something bad was going to happen Every nation left their offices in Benghazi because of the previous actions. If America wasn't going to do he same, then they should have dramatically beefed up security when they would go to Benghazi. All the warning signs were there, just that the government ignored pleas for more protection.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I dont. My agenda is not Obama's. He does NOT respect mine. I certainly dont respect his.

That is what causes polarity. All we can do now is try very hard to stop him.

If he wants compromise, then HE can compromise. Telling me that he can ignore laws he doesnt like and dictate from the desk...... No I wont agree with that.

So you do hate democracy.

I am not obliged to agree with your interpretations =)
They belong to YOU.

And this is worse than the WTC attacks why?

Also, citations needed.

Indeed.

I'm very happy with them. Judging from your posts, you're not so happy with yours. Lot of anger. Anger which peaks just after a democratic election result. Anger at the result.

So, am I to conclude you like democracy, just not the consequences of a democracy? Do you define a democracy where things are dealt with exactly to your liking?

My perception, which indeed are very much subjective and might have no base in reality, is that if the result had been different, you'd be less angry. And if you'd encountered those of the opposite political persuasion who displayed the same kind of sentiment you do, you would not have sided with them. The impression I get is that you would point at that election and would have stated: that's democracy, suck it up.

But I concede, that's just perceptions. Which belong to ME.

You guys should look at how sad some people are:

The one woman looks like one of those housewives in the 60s

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I paraphrase from 2004, probably stated by the same lot of people: suck it up.

 

[Nick Carpathia]

While Oruc's phrase was lame... there were no other options in previous presidential elections, just sayin'... not agreeing.

Hmmm, if minorities aren't going to spend their vote wisely on sanctioned White People, then maybe they shouldn't be allowed to vote!

 

[kochman]

What?
I was talking about his poor analogy, not making any such statement.

 

[Slobadog]

Obama lost what a few guys at a embassy foul up,


Bush lost like thousands of guys, at war foul up, What can i say republicans raised the standards for death news excitment. A few guys killed by miltias in a middle eastern country due to incompentant managment is now quite typical thing to expect. Ho hum yawn why should the media, american, people you and i care about a mere few. Begazi doesn't even compare to the causalties in one day in Iraq.

 

[GamezRule]

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but I feel that it's important to note that Obama received approximately 8 million fewer votes then in 2008, while Romney only received about 1 million fewer votes then McCain did in 2008. Even with such a huge difference, Obama still managed to win the popular vote. When you examine how the votes split, that's a huge demographic disadvantage the Republican party has.

 

[AlpsStranger]

Republicans haven't figured out half how bad this is.

Republicans have lost the popular vote in, what, five of the last six elections?

Democrats can win elections without leaving their comfort zone now, and it's only getting worse. Blue Texas is a very real possibility, and would represent an almost official end to the GOP.

Spoiler :

Left-leaning states appear to be >270 EVs. Game.
