We laughed at the stupid creepy 'life of julia' and other 'feminism issues'.
But Republicans can not shake the 'old rich whitey' image from their public school indoctrination, and college-level brainwashing. They were told and believe we became the 'old rich whitey' through ill gotten gains from stepping on top of the weak/minorities. Evil "Corporate Amerikkkkaa".
And our side did not do (have not done) a good job reaching out to them and break the bondage of 'their reality' in social circles (the media they are more susceptible to suggestions and peer pressure). Granted we have an uphill battle against the school system plus the mass media mis-information.
Look at today's young women, they see nothing wrong using sex or sex appeal for sugar daddy's, they see tv/movie showing sex/ambition/backstabbing/all the 'successful' young women moving up coporate ladders are ambitious baitches that won't stopped by any moral qualms ..... all kinds of wrong things I've encountered RARELY in entire my work life.
Their idols are not good role models. If one of them come along, media had to shred her to pieces ..... (anyway, I could go on and on. soorry for the long rant.)
Well, it doesn't help to nominate a 'rich old whitey' simply to cement that image in the hearts and minds of voter and then try to redefine him during the election campaign ("reintroduce" him as Ann Romney and his staff put it during the convention, just few weeks before the election). Romney was, from the beginning, the caricature of the "privileged rich white Republican" that is being painted in the media and the "entertainment" industry.
Whoever at GOP-e thought that would have no effect on electorate and pronounced him "electable," nay, the "only electable candidate" should have their brains examined. His son lying about Romney "not wanting to run unless another suitable candidate" emerges just proves how phony, weak and ineffectual his entire campaign was (including primaries).
Romney kept talking about matters that only the rich could understand and profit from. The average "joe" was not concerned with the stock market or high finance.
True. See above.
The Republican party NEVER uses the scare tactic ...
Oh, they do. It's just they've been using it to scare people to vote AGAINST somebody (ABx strategy) but it's usually not enough, and will become even more difficult, to win if you you don't have someone [or something] to vote FOR...
Can you name one "exciting" Republican presidential nominee since Reagan transferred the Oval Office to the "kinder and gentler," "compassionate conservatives"?
