The story of the 2012 election is that voters still blame Republicans for systemic problems caused by liberalism, and yet they credit Obama for victories brought about by applied conservatism. Now how does this happen? The answer is both a short story and part of a longer festering narrative. Consider: during the Republican primary season, half of Mitt Romney's consultants told him to call Newt Gingrich the devil. The other half told him to merely to claim that the devil worshiped Gingrich. Then these same sorcerers all told Mitt to call Barack Obama "a nice guy." Content added by staff

Comments: So so so much money left on the table by the campaign, thanks to the consultant class and their squishy strategies.

Funny....the Dems never worry about running the most extreme leftists possible but are constantly advising us to put up more moderate Republicans.
Perhaps we should coach our own team.
Just a thought.

Oh, please. America decided to go with Obama on purpose. Don't ask me why but it wasn't because Republicans (or Romney) ceded the game. Billions of dollars were spent to inform a lazy electorate. Romney/Ryan campaigned endlessly. The people have spoken and it turns out they're idiots.

Hope everyone who is happy with the election is enjoying obama's stock market. If the tea party can't become mainstream after whats coming in the next two years we should all just apply for welfare. Sappy republicans who would call obama a nice guy are not welcome.

And I say, "Why do you believe the polls about this, when you already know these people are in the tank for Obama?" We are living in a constant Propaganda War. One of the fundamental rules of Propaganda is make sure your opponent has bad information. I don't believe any of it.

I find Mr. Wright's suggestions that the right needs to move more aggressively to "correct the record" and that "the truth matters" interesting, but in the wake of November 6, somewhat ridiculous. For more than 50 years, the left has been working and has had considerable success at taking over our education system. The result is that a majority of our population is not only uneducated, but essentially ineducable. Keeping in mind that, in the 60s, the Jesuits took a hard left and never looked back, it is still useful to remember one of their most cherished maxims, Give me a child until the age of six and I will give you the man."

Correction: maxim should have read "until the age of seven."

C. Edmund Wright's thinking parallels my own.
No overall strategy, combined with the traditional Moderate GOP "Kick Me" signs worn proudly on Moderate GOP behinds. Sheesh.

No More 'Electable' moderates!
We need someone who will fight for conservatives. Remember Ronald Reagan was considered an easy candidate for the Dems to defeat.

I have been a California 'decline to state' for at least 20 years. I actually registered as a Republican, proudly, this election. I cringed at the campaign sometimes, was immensely proud we could put up a good man as a candidate, I seethed at the vulgarity and crassness and lies of the left and was so frustrated with the media. But sad to say, if the 'campaign' can't figure out what do to to GOTV, and can't figure out how to challenge the other side's behavior and call a spade a space (no racial inference intended), and calls Obama 'a good man', and can't elucidate policies, I'm going back to being an independent.

Can we fire the advisors to the Republican Party? Please? Karl Rove: fire him. Reince Priebus: fire him. John Boehner: fire him. "Not a choice, but an echo." What we wanted was a choice. What we got was "socialism lite." What we saw was a savage and unprincipled war, practiced by the left, on everything which is good and decent and honorable in this country. No attack was too scurrilous. No incident was too petty. Every honest observation was treated as an attack.
No remark by any Democrat was ever pounced on, magnified, and blown up to a billboard. None of Zippy's gaffes became the talk of comedy shows. demonRats say stupid stuff all the time; their remarks are never thrown back in their faces; they are regarded as honorable despite their dishonor.
But the Republicans: they cannot fight. They just sit by, passively, while they are savaged. You can't win that way. Once Romney had obtained sufficient delegates to win the nomination, ALL the other candidates should have banded together to back him, and run ads blasting the WH attack machine. But no, this did not happen. Instead the pubbies just let the Dems divide them, and conservatives stayed home. In droves.
What a pathetic excuse for a party!

The only way to get your message out to the braindead masses that vote for Demon-RATS is through the MSM.
The MSM is a fully owned subsidiary of the DNC.
Not that it matters any more. As soon as NØbama makes about 20,000,000 illegals into citizens before the 2014 elections, every red state will permanently turn blue. And you know every one of them will vote Demon-RAT from now on.
Game over. The Demon-RATS won. Just hope that NØbamacare provides free KY Jelly for all the times we are going to have to just bend over and take it from now on...
My only joy is knowing that we at least know what is coming. Imagine the shock on all the people who actually voted for NØbama who don't have a clue what they are in for...

As you probably have heard, a few days ago Bill Maher shocked his liberal guest -- and much of the world -- by stating very correctly and succinctly that it is "liberal bullsh_t" to equate Christianity and Islam with respect to terror. The bluntness, not to mention the shocking accuracy of the statement from this particular source, had the social media universe all lit up over the weekend. It was surely my first "fist pump" ever in response to Maher.

Shortly after the 2009 Fort Hood terror attack was carried out by Nidal Hasan, Martha Raddatz and Diane Sawyer of ABC News openly lamented that the killer´s name was not something like Smith. They pretended to overhear this sentiment from some military wife at the fort, but I suspect otherwise -- that they were pulling the liberal trifecta of lying, projecting, and conflating victims with experts -- all simultaneously.

If anyone still doubts the Gallup Poll -- and common sense -- showing that Mitt Romney is way ahead in the polls, all they had to do was watch the third presidential debate to have their minds changed. Romney put the game into the "four corners" stall, running out the clock while turning away numerous chances for easy slam-dunks and taking care not to stop the clock

"Did they come in and inherit a tough situation? Absolutely." This from Paul Ryan, in the worst moment of the VP debate. Barack Obama is going to lose in a blow-out, and the debates have certainly padded that margin. Having said that, both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan left "some easy money on the table" through the first two debates that they now need to collect. The Romney/Ryan mandate will be even bigger, and effective governing afterwards will be more viable, if they but correct the media narrative of what Obama "inherited."

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Eva Longoria is backing up her beauty with a whole lot of brain. The actress graduated with a master´s degree Wednesday. Longoria, 38, took home a real degree (not an honorary one) in Chicano studies from Cal State Northridge, where she physically attended classes for three years, according to TMZ. "Big day today!!! Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

Is the worm turning against Barack Obama? After four-plus years of being given the benefit of the doubt by the bulk of the US media, the President now suddenly feels more vulnerable. Today both the New York Times and the Washington Post have run prominent and angry editorials and columns slamming the administration for its attempt to criminalise a Fox News reporter James Rosen for working a State Department source to obtain a story. The "Rosen Affair"--as it is now known--is poisoning the well in Washington at an alarming rate for Mr Obama, with an indignant White House press corps
