Only dumb people were dumbfounded by this election result. I called it as a landslide for Obama weeks before the election, but the conservative folks did not see it that way. Even when the unemployment numbers came out and they were the best in four years, which is an indicator that indeed folks were not suffering as much as the GOP projected they were. All in all, we are doing just fine and nobody - I emphasize this - nobody - wanted the tax cuts and war platform the GOP was selling. NOBODY was.
Set aside the economy and then you have the GOP pushing no birth control and totally demeaning women and their rights even going so far as to say only "some" rape is forced. Their treatment of immigrants over the past 4 years was absolutely despicable, including the Arizona "Show me your papers" law based on what they look like alone. Then cap it all off with Romney's campaign t...hat not only embraced those policies but increased them with the "self deport" and the 47% comment that I believe solidified a landslide victory for Obama.
No folks, it didn't happen overnight, this is and WHO the GOP has been for four years and it is a losing platform they need to change. They are in fact un-electable in nationwide elections. They may win their little representative districts in long-held Republican strongholds , but national elections and swing state statewide elections are off the table for the GOP until they change.
As for your opinion that I'm lying... If that's what you want to believe, fine. I no longer care about your opinions.
In fact, I'm not afraid to say now that I never did.
