Open letter to the GOP: You have no-one to blame but yourselves

agreed OP. Couldn't really care either way, both were full of shite. Now RP otoh. He seemed like a good un.

GOP just needed to have Ron Paul on the ticket. But anyone against the people hearing the truth would not allow that.

GOP retards choose to antagonize and pick up issues that piss off women.

Yes, I agree. They manage to alienate one of the groups most likely to consider voting for them...white women.

SBD - I usually read your comments because I enjoy them and often find your points reasonable and agreeable. Based on my prior experience with your postings, I am writing to respectfully disagree with you on this one.

The GOP lost it by trying to cobble together a coalition that had no natural affinities other than a profound (borderline pathological) antipathy towards the President.

I feel that the GOP was remarkably and intentionally DISRESPECTFUL to Ron Paul and his base - a base that was energized around constitutionally based rights and duties rather than pure animus.

I think that the GOP threw away this election with the nomination of Mitt Romney - try as they might they just could not turn him into a Reagan nor Obama into a Carter.

EVERYONE knows abortion will ALWAYS be legal. No Supreme Court (even if it had 9 Antonin Scalias on it) would ever repeal a women's right to have an abortion. First, riots would ensue. Secondly, whichever political party initiated that, they wouldn't see another victory for a generation.

So GOP...enough kissing up to the Evangelicals, drop the abortion plank. You have absolutely no intention of playing that card anyway, even if the opportunity presented itself.

The GOP must choose between the social conservatives (the most ridiculous criteria upon which to vote for a CIVIC leader) or a fiscally responsible, yet more progressive, GOP.

No, it was the racist, sexist liberal media who did that.

Really GOP.....us 'crazys' that supported liberty are waiting for our apology.

All the women voted against Romney because of his stance on abortion......If the sluts would learn to keep their legs closed they wouldn't have to worry about it, and we wouldn't have an asshole as a president again!!

I believe that American citizens have loudly rejected what the republican party has allowed itself to become by listening to the limbaughs and hannitys and becks. The country has officially rejected the party which has encouraged its adherents to openly give vent to the darkest aspects of themselves, things they should be exorcising from themselves, not proudly shouting from the rooftops.

These qualities which we see expressed here daily, the overt racism, approval of murder of doctors who dare to perform abortions, the branding of women who would abort their diseased rapists embryo, the requirement that you not on disagree with those of differing political persuasions but you must demonize them and detest them and consider them your enemies.

Republicans, you have allowed yourselves to become truly anachronistic within a civilized, modern society. Your rejection of science, of plain old human decency and kindness to your fellow man has been your downfall.

America has loudly spoken that we are not going back but forward into a better future. It is inevitable.

GOP establishment keeps tugging to the left. They cannot out lib the liberals. Not sure if they can continue this strategy much longer before they are even less relevant than they are today.
The United States House of Representatives is the only reason the country MAY avoid collapse and that is a big question mark.

The percentage of those paying no taxes has exceeded those who do. THey are just voting themselves more from the public coffers, our taxes.

Expect more of the same.

Romney???

Romney???

Romney???



SERIOUSLY???


This election was a FRAUD from the beginning. They WANTED him to lose to King Barry.

I just think that all of the people on food stamps voted for Obama.

Loudly spoken?
BS what was the popular vote?

Roughly the same as Bush's loudly proclaimed "mandate" in 2004

Claims such as these failed to work for you in the election. What's that oft quoted line about those who refuse to learn...

Doesn't anybody here know the election was stolen?

Can't you guys read?

Where have you been?

What a bunch of dummies.

If the GOP goes CENTER it has a chance to win elections in the future. It sure as shit won't ever win the presidency again if it's bringing in 30% latinos and 3% blacks, and losing women by an almost 60% to 40% split.
The answer is in the CENTER

You are correct. Americans will never allow our country to become a theocracy. Americans are uncomfortable being told they must hate their fellow human beings because they are a different color or nationality or of a different political persuasion or have different sexual proclivities or must label a 12 year old a murdress for the need to abort her rapists embryo or......Americans, as they truly evolve spiritually, are rejecting blind, omnidirectional hatred.

Republicans lost a lot of the youth vote when they took a fat shit all over the libertarians

How the fuck could Romney complain about those things when he favors them more than Obama??

What you're really saying is that Romney was the wrong candidate. Not only that, but your GOP SUCKS ON THE ISSUES.

THAT I can agree with!!!

They lost the youth vote big time.
It was the same as 2008.

Fuck the GOP.

R's find it impossible to hit the center target as it is always being moved leftward by the media and other libs.
Smaller govt. and less spending is already "extremeist". Just ask Nancy.

Romney was a pathetic candidate. That's why he lost. NO other reason...
