This is a serious question. Obviously a number of intelligent people actually thought Romney had a real shot when it was clear he did not. Why would they think that in light of the State by State polling?

Republicans need to
1. Get rid of the tea party mentality
2. deversify the party.
3. stop preaching freedom and then trying to take peoples freedoms away. Marry or love wgho ya want, women rights, racist rants against Blacks, hispanics, native Americans, Asians, STUPID POLICIUES that don't work for no one but rich guys
4. Stop disrespecting the President. The office needs to be respected. You may not like the holder of the office, but the office MUST be respected. One day your guy may be in there and believe me you will not like the "he's lazy" "You lie" etc.
5. Most of all Close down Fox News!!!!

1. Get rid of the tea party mentality Actually, they should adopt the original Tea Party mentality, not the bastardized one forced on them by the Republican establishment.
2. deversify the party. They need to educate people of all races that liberty is the best option. The Republicans aren't up to that, because they don't believe it themselves.
3. stop preaching freedom and then trying to take peoples freedoms away. Marry or love wgho ya want, women rights, racist rants against Blacks, hispanics, native Americans, Asians, STUPID POLICIUES that don't work for no one but rich guys
Ok, you got that one right. 4. Stop disrespecting the President. The office needs to be respected. You may not like the holder of the office, but the office MUST be respected. One day your guy may be in there and believe me you will not like the "he's lazy" "You lie" etc. But the current President is unworthy of respect. He is lazy and he does lie. Hard to respect that.
5. Most of all Close down Fox News!!!!Ah, yes. When in doubt, stifle free speech! Why don't you close Fox News down by NOT WATCHING IT! Originally Posted by GQ Romantic

You continue to be a worthless, seditious cocksucker.

How can you be so wrong and yet continue to spout your hateful vitriol?

I submit that there is nothing else to conclude other than you're either suffering onset Alzheimer's or are just a drooling retard living in your mothers basement with a pack of feral house cats.

You're gonna preach your way into the breach asshole! This is ECCIE and you are NOT guaranteed free anything.
President Obama is the President. I always refer to him as President Obama.

But that does not mean that he, as the man, deserves it. If we can all recall, President Obama would never refer to President Bush as Mr. President, or even President Bush. It was always "George Bush".

It's more of a class thing than anything else, or to be exact, lack of it.

Distance yourself from Hannity, Coulter, Limbaugh, etc. and do not tolerate the hate from the conservative base against non-whites. That's the biggest turn off for the key demographic that any party needs to win elections. I'm reading that the push is to go even further to the extreme, do that at your peril. If you think 2012 was bad, 2016 will look like Reagan's landslide in 1984, but blue. Remember, your key demographic is declining, so if you don't embrace people who are "different", as your demographic goes, the party goes.

When that day comes, drinks are on me!

The author in this article makes some very good points on what is currently the problem among the current conservative approach and what conservatives need to do to recover.
Although the piece is from BBC, the author is a senior editor of The American Conservative.

We need a movement based on freedom. We are endowed by our Creator to be able to live our lives with as little government interference as possible. That's what our Founders fought and died for.

I think only hope for conservatives is if they can prove to younger people or hispanics that small government is in their best interests. If they can't do that then they don't deserve to win. I thought Ron Paul was really good at that, but the establishment didn't want him. Romney seems like a decent guy, but he also seems like he stands for nothing...except the establishment.

tbh, I don't know if there will be a future for conservatives, and I don't say that like Yssup Rider or any other statist spiking the football. I wouldn't be shocked if we are like Mexico in the future with one party rule, joke of an economy and corruption at all levels. Maybe we are already there. anyways, just my opinion, i could be wrong.

The difference with the Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow is that they don't embrace level of hate and vitriol towards minorities that the conservative media embraces. For example, today a Hispanic lady calls Rush Limbaugh and said that she owns a Marketing firm that specializes in addressing the Hispanic market and that she offered her services for free to the GOP in order to increase their reach towards the Hispanic community. Well, no one was interested and she couldn't help them, not even for free. To top it off, Rush was totally disrespectful and condescending with her. He came across as if he knew everything about Hispanics and pretty much dismissed her. Well, now you have someone who was willing to help disenfranchised. Guess what she'll do? She'll vote against her own interests because of the way she was treated. Keep that up and get ready for red states to turn to blue states in upcoming elections. Hispanics don't want handouts, they want to work and to be left alone, but when they're treated as second class citizens by the right wing media, well, you just pushed them away to the other side.
