Obama's "hope and change" drove people away from the polls by about 10 million. The problem was, Romney Ryan either failed to ignite or failed to sustain through election day a spark to turn out to vote for themselves. The low turn out shows : 1. the failure of early voting , mail-in to be a significant factor (I know the final tallies will probably increase by a million or two). 2. the poor explanation "demographics" is-- Obama's minority support did not build on what was there in 2008.3. The wisdom of the Congressional Republicans to continue to take Bill Buckley's advice of 60 years ago: "A conservative is a fellow standing athwart history yelling Stop." They paid no price for sticking to their principles and 2014 is another opportunity to punish Obama.

No talk or plans about the lost constitution and individual freedom and it’s restoration. Just economy stuff and the GOP has lost credibility on that front with their spending during Bush’s years. Romney looked too similar to the Won.

Well, they got plenty of “Likes” on their Facebook pages. That seemed to be important to them.

Romney is a destructive force and does not belong in republican politics, and he should never have become it’s leader.
