If you take away his presents, Santa Claus becomes a somewhat creepy trespasser.

The first bill out of the Republican House in 2013 should be THE FOODSTAMP, SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY AND FDA REVIEW ACT OF 2013. The Democrats snuck socialism in with these programs. Get rid of the grifters in these programs. Thievery must be punished.

Bottom line, Alex, regardless of one’s religious affiliation, when you sit out the vote, you suffer the consequences and they cannot complain. Voting is a cherished privilege. I have not missed one election since I could legally vote at age 21. Take away that privilege and all of those who did not vote, will march on Washington.

Do we know that it was evangelicals who "sat out the vote"? Did evangelicalism hold the line, or lose membership from 2008 to 2012? Do we know that all 300,000 "missing voters" would have selected Romney, had they voted?

Here's a novel thought - how about we blame the people who actually voted for Obama, for re-electing Obama? Do you think we can do that?

Rush's brilliance shines as usual. It seems to me that GOP strategist used to work on the Edsel project at Ford. Find out what everybody wants in a candidate and manufacture a candidate that meets those credentials.

As far as I can tell from the current machination among to this. “We didn't carry this demographic we need bigger tail fins.” “Women won’t vote for us unless we get ride of boring horizontal grills.” Just like the Edsel for some strange reason our candidate who was the most electable and had the things that everybody wanted mysteriously flopped.

I think people would like to see some evidence of core principals and integrity (why not it worked those Roy Rogers and John Wayne).

Lesson learned from 2012 election:

1. Lie? There is no penalty.

2. Lie. The bigger the lie, the more the slime stream media will ignore it.

3. Lie! Your cool.

I find this very strange too. I wonder how many ballots were cast with only one (or two in swing senate contests) vote for Obama.

Methinks there are a huge number of them from Ohio, Florida, Virginia, and Colorado.

I also suspect they are all mail in ballots.
