President Obama was swept into office in 2012 because Republicans went along with the notion that the Left really wants what’s best for America—they just go about it differently.

President Obama was swept into office in 2012 because the Republican candidate stood for nothing.

I was about to make the same point, with only wording as a variation.

The 2008 and 2012 R candidates stood for the same socialistic ideals - just on a longer schedule.

More like two generations of lies, lies, and more repeated lies by the media to the gullible masses.

And the twits believe it to be gospel.

President Obama was swept into office in 2012 because the Republican candidate stood for nothing.

And moreso in 2016 — Romney is, politically speaking, indistinguishable from Obama. (And if November 2014 to now has taught us anything it's just how stupid those claiming that congress would hold his feet to the fire actually are — I mean look at how they "oppose" Obama, who isn't even "their guy".)

In fact, that the Republican Party has consistantly stood for nothing is the reason I didn't vote for them in 2014; I knew that their win would not be taken as a repudiation of the Democratic Party's policies, but rather as proof that (a) no actions are actually needed, and (b) yelling I'm not a democrat [even if rolling over for them] is enough to win.
