One of the big problems is that fewer and fewer people vote every year. This is true in all local elections, and even in Congressional and Senatorial elections.

The Dems win because their organizers haul people out in busloads (not to mention massive election fraud), but the GOP doesn’t seem understand that it’s all numbers. While they should try harder to get a candidate people like and actually want to vote for, even when they don’t - as in the case of Romney and McCain - they should try harder to get people to the polls simply basing it on the party platform.

The Two R’s stank in a major way, but if they had been elected, anybody they might have appointed to their Cabinet or in other positions would have been better than anybody Barry has appointed. Neither one of them would have done this major dictatorial overreach, nor would we have the all-out attacks on abortion opponents, gay “marriage” opponents, etc.

But the GOP doesn’t know how to present its platform regardless of the individual candidates, and also doesn’t stoop to doing things like trying to get out the vote. Huh?

Or doing things to suppress the parasite vote.

Getting rid of early voting would be huge, gives the marxists less time to steal elections

A lot of elections are stolen before election day

Democrats are winning because they appeal to the idiots on college campuses who want life to be one big party. Republicans are the types that present a well matched team with candidates who have experience in pretty much every area that matters and they have the right connections to get the jobs that need to be done, done. Since college students are complete and utter morons, they at the same time, are a huge voting bloc. The Democrats promise these fools a continuation of the party that “Evil uptight Republicans ruin” and make it a point to promise to take care of them, continue their easy upbringings.

So, since idiots on college campuses voted Obama and were determined to be “Part of History” Obama won in a landslide. A Republican could offer up the cure for AIDS, but without a ‘right’ marketing strategy, no one would believe the candidate and vote for the Democrat would could be opening up a bottle of smallpox, but because the Dem would have the right marketing campaign and appeal, I believe that the students would gladly inhale the smallpox virus.

Also, Democrats fight dirty and are thick as thieves. They don’t just sip champagne, they go out into the streets and guzzle beer with their target voting bloc and are almost viciously ruthless along the lines of the Mafia. If you’re a Dem, you are protected and for life if you stick with them. If you fight for them, they kill for you. Republicans have this bad bad bad habit of looking for the ‘perfect’ candidate and then find fault with every single trait. So many Republicans refuse to get out into the streets and be just as ruthless, lying, and cutthroat as the Dems to win. Republicans also need to stop letting their candidates take all the abuse, while the armchair activists cower behind the chosen candidate. Dems fight like animals if one of their own is attacked.

If Republicans had pushed back against the Dems during GW’s term, there is no way that McCain could have lost. Or Romney. Second, we need younger candidates. We could have won IF Paul Ryan had been the primary Presidential candidate, since he was as young as many Gen Xer’s and it might have pushed Obama out of office. If Palin had been run as primary candidate, with her experience and the historical aspect of running a woman as a Presidential candidate, it would have split the vote to the point where Obama might not have ended up winning. I don’t know why Republicans aren’t more risk-taking. Eager and ruthless in business, but oddly failing in politics.

No way. McCain is an insane warhawk. If he had been elected we would be at war with every country in the middle east. Romney was a democrat. All republicans need to demand better. Or we keep getting Christie and Jeb.
