What now, Republicans? Since their stunning electoral loss, the GOP has been bombarded – from without and within – with analyses blaming their defeat on an array of problems. The Republican base has become “too old, male and white.” They are technologically inept. Mitt Romney was too patrician. The GOP is caught in a demographic tailspin from which it will never return. Much of this is overwrought. The truth is simple, as it usually is. Romney ran a weak campaign whose strategists badly misread the electorate (which explains their absolute shock at losing).

HOW NOT TO FIGHT Don´t fight a street thug in your coat and tie. (the gentlemanly approach is neither effective nor admired) Don´t listen to the advise of your enemies girlfriend on the sideline. (the press) Don´t stiff arm and insult the strong young guys who come along side to help you fight. (Ron Paul fans)

The extreme concern of the GOPers is not that the GOP is in a tail-spin; it is that the US and Western Civilization is about to end, destroyed by debt, laziness and greed.

The problem isn´t conservatives, our ideas or our approach. The problem is that about half of all Americans are morons too frightened of life to be able to consider living without big nanny government to coddle them.

I am weary of the aftermath know it alls. I hope that the dweebs that voted for the flapeared one suffer as much pain as possible. The idea that Mitt was not good and was too patrician is plain silly or this clod was not watching. Mitt would have won if so call third parties, like paul, huntsman and 13 other candidates had not been on the ballot. What in hell did they think they were doing?

In the very same election Romney just lost, the Tea Party-energized House GOP won huge (just as it did in 2010, and as it will likely do again in 2014).
We can wring our hands and lament that "there are more of them than there are of us." Or maybe we can drop this "electable RINO" nonsense and try running a true Conservative for President for a change. Reagan won two landslide victories, if I am not mistaken.

Here´s a message for everyone in the nation who is not a Democratic voter: If you don´t vote for the Republican nominee and the evil Democrats vote for theirs, they will win.

What difference does anything make when you meekly walk away from EVERY polling place in Philadelphia for hours on election day? A crucial swing state and you allow some thugs to eject you? Not even a fist fight? No coverage, no comments then or now? No camcorders, sheriffs, SEALS or anything at the polling place where the punk New Panther brandished a nightstick last election? They were back blocking doorways this election, laughing at the cowards at the RNC and Pennsylvania who sit by while they steal PA right in front of you.
The organization, the message, all of that could have been better, but taking a stand on voting fraud, voting intimidation, denial of military votes, should have been done for 12 years. TOO late now.

Romney did run a weak campaign - he seemed more intent on not losing than on winning. His commercials (and living in a swing state, I saw them all) were weak and seemed to hit one theme only - jobs. He never pointed out how gas prices have doubled under the Won, or how The Won gave all his cronies handouts, or his promise to Putin,the Keystone Pipeline or any number of other things the Kenyan did. He deserved to lose.

The murder trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell largely is being ignored by the mainstream media, even in the face of grisly testimony, such as what we heard yesterday. Life News reports: ...a former employee described how she heard a baby scream during a live-birth abortion. Abortion clinic employee Sherry West described an incident which "really freaked (her) out" and related to the jury how she heard a child who was born alive following an abortion scream.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

West Virginia Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller, one of the towering architects of Obamacare, on Tuesday openly criticized program managers for not moving quickly enough to build the system, warning that if it gets off to a bumpy start it will just get worse. Decrying the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as way too complex, he warned the acting Medicare director that Obamacare is "so complicated and if it isn´t done right the first time, it will just simply get worse."

The sequester may have many across the country singing the blues, but for President Obama, it was all about Memphis Soul. Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes. Some conservatives have called on Obama to give up golf, especially since popular public tours of the White House have been canceled because of

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

Liberals descended on Pennsylvania Avenue Tuesday to protest President Barack Obama´s decision to include entitlement cuts in his upcoming budget, delivering 2 million petitions demanding the White House back off its support for the chained CPI. As we reported this weekend, liberals have been seething over the inclusion of the chained CPI in Obama´s budget, which they see as a huge betrayal by the Democratic president. This week, progressive groups, including MoveOn, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, and Democracy for America, have mounted "emergency" online campaigns against the proposal, accusing Obama of

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius conceded Monday that implementing the Affordable Care Act has been more complicated and frustrating than the Obama administration expected, largely due to Republicans who have opposed the law´s state-based exchanges and Medicaid expansion. "The politics has been relentless and that continues," Sebelius said. "There was some hope that once the Supreme Court ruled in July, and then once an election occurred there would be a sense that, ´This is the law of the land, let´s get on board, let´s make this work.´"

State Attorney General Bob Ferguson on Tuesday filed a consumer protection lawsuit against Arlene’s Flowers & Gifts, a Richland florist that refused to supply flowers to the same-sex marriage of a longtime customer. Ferguson said he sent a March 28 letter to owner Barronelle Stutzman asking her to reconsider and supply flowers to customer Robert Ingersoll. Through an attorney, Stutzman declined to change her position.“As Attorney General, it is my job to enforce the laws of the state of Washington,” said Ferguson. “Under the Consumer Protection Act, it is unlawful to discriminate

In a stunning end to one of the most aggressively unsuccessful tenures in retail history, JCPenney (JCP) last night announced that CEO Ron Johnson would be leaving effective immediately. Myron Ullman, Johnson´s predecessor at JCPenney, takes office as CEO. When Johnson was initially wooed by JCPenney, it was to serve as CEO with Ullman as Chairman. In January 2012, Ullman was unceremoniously removed from the board. Gone with Ullman was any control the Board of Directors had over Ron Johnson and his control of JCPenney resources.
