Those who think the public voted for compromise of some kind with the Democrats must imagine that the Republicans represent the Democrats!
Take a good look at the election results ~ Obama got 7 million fewer votes this time than last. The Republicans got about the same number as before, but if they'd gotten as much as they did in George Bush' second election, they'd won it all!
Some wonder where the missing Bush Republicans were ~ thinking that they must be 'moderates' of some kind who stepped aside to punish the Conservatives. Actually, they're dead ~ the Boomers are coming of age ~ the END OF LIFE CYCLE ~ where they start having to deal with a far higher death rate. Unless you make up for their loss with an aggressive voter registration drive among younger potential voters, you lose!
As i recall it, and as many others even in the Romney camp are beginning to point out, his campaign didn't make that effort ~ didn't even think it was necessary. After all, he'd said he was going to go after the 10% of undecided moderates who'd decide the election.
Guess they forgot to register because whatever they decided they didn't vote!
Also, there are no moderates anyway
I’ve said this before: Normal people don’t deal well with psychopaths, which is what you have on the left.
Reagan had the killer instinct. He’d go for the throat and kill you, pleasant as he might seem.
