But the majority of them wanted McCain to lose. They wanted Republicans to lose.

And so what? There are plenty of posters here on FR who don't exactly cry themselves to sleep when GOP-e candidates lose.

yes, short sightedness and infantile ignorance is widespread…….

With people like you it is no wonder we are becoming the minority party. Come back when your party wins

And that is why we are losers. All factions of the GOP are now engaged in the stupidity of my way or the highway. GOPe, Libertarians, Tea Partiers all act as rank immature amateurs when it comes to the art of politics. The other side march in lock step and play chess with elections. They play to win. The Democrats do not play with all their cards in full view like we do. We like to lead with our chin. We are beginning to like losing. It makes us all feel fuzzy inside. We all see this fault as somehow being the other guy, when we all are guilty, including the author. He is right for the most part, but he is just as guilty. Until we wake up and start playing this game with an insatiable desire to win, whatever it takes on a national basis, then we are doomed to lose. The Democrats have nothing to worry about. The difference between us now and us in the 1980’s is not the issues so much, but the desire to win. Back then we had the swagger.
