Vanity: Time to stop being down in the dumps and start planning for 2014 and 2016

OK...so Obama has won reelection. It will be bad, of that there is NO doubt. However, good can come from this.

1) You’ll find Romney won more Republicans than most candidates in the past have when this is all over. His ‘moderateness’ had no bearing. We all came out to get rid of Obama. We were defeated.

2)You’re wrong. The economy will not get dramatically worse in the next decade. It will likely remain where it is now. Crappy, but people said tonight that they had gotten used to ‘crappy’.

3)Not quite sure what you mean here? The grassroots devoured the GOP-E in Indiana. We got massacred. When Mourdock was picked, the grassroots came out for him, and the GOP-E fully funded his campaign. We both lost.

4) Completely USELESS. Obama has no use for congress, nor will his successor. The people have given a mandate to handing more power from congress to the president tonight, through executive orders. Controlling half of it is meaningless.

5)We have not survived anything worse. The people were given a clear choice. A shameless capitalist, and a shameless socialist. They chose socialism. This is akin to the choices Europe made during the 1970s.

Romney did not fail
The Republican party did not fail
AMERICA failed.

To late. This was our last chance to reverse the enslavement of Obamacare! We are all slaves now.

.

As long as we have (alleged) Conservatives that admire and alibi for bigmouthed idiots like Akin and Mourdock, egotistical turncoats like Chris Christie, and stealth traitors like Colin Powell the likelihood of Republicans getting another shot at the White House with another well-funded and intelligent candidate is slim and none

As a non-believer myself, it amazes me to see so many Freepers who believe that God is in control being far more despondent tonight than am I.

I, for one, believe that God is in control and I am at peace with the result. God has given America the government they wanted. The prayers of the selfish, lazy, covetous God-rejecting masses have been answered.

God is in control. Those who do not fear God have the most to fear.

I am a believer. I have been down tonight and I thank God that He understands my frailty and human response.

God governs the affairs of man. NOTHING happens without His Perfect will.In fact His Word lays out what is happening in the world right now. We as believers know that.

It's just that we had so hoped and PRAYED for this to change at least temporarily.

We WILL WIN......God's Word says so.

Sorry you don't believe. Truth is, in His Word He says that Judgement will come. Now is the Day of Salvation.

1) In GOP, two white guys can’t win.
Rubio would have saved Mitt.

2) Akins and Moudrock type of comments hurt party. Even your heart is at right place but language scare average people.

3)Tap younger and new immigrants in party. majority of new immigrant join Dem party.

4) Use of media is important.

the whole system needs to crash. The demographics no longer favor our way of life. Literally half the country demands big government and european style socialism. It’s either that or we support a secessionist movement. I don’t know, but things will get worse in the next four years.

Where were all the independents and moderates Romney was supposed
To bring?

With all due respect, you ignore the elephant in the room.
The takers have over run the country.
The percent of takers will continue to grow in the next four years.
We are now a taker society. And it will only get worse in the next four years.

Forget 2016 and 2014. We need to get working on 2013 and running a primary against that fat RINO traitor Chris Christie.

It’s not the end of the world, but you can see it from here. Obamacare contains much puzzling “stray” legislation. For example, it allows the resident to raise the debt limit without even informing congress if he can spend the next several trillions fast enough, and he can. Unless he tips over from a cocaine overdose, he may well be an unfettered dictator by 2014. If so, 2016 may look as Dinesh D’Souza (spelling?) has described it. “God, I have an unusual request....”

I feel God is telling us we need a Conservative Christian to run.

I can think of one...

Thanks...I’ll try to remember the good that will come out of this as I face a death panel.

“Seriously? What’s the point? Conservatism is dead. We had our last chance today, and blew it.”

That is defeatist nonsense and just isn’t so. “Conservatism” is not dead....Romney WAS NOT CONSERVATIVE....so it didn’t die with his loss or Obama’s win. This is an opportunity to reenergize conservatism, not its funeral. IF Romney had to be elected in order for “conservatism” to continue....then it had already died.

Also, Obama DOES NOT HAVE A MANDATE. It lookd like he may barely win or outright lose the popular vote....he is the lamest of lame ducks. The GOP House should treat him as such.

This is the second time you’ve posted this garbage. Who here gives a flying hoot about what they’re loving at DU? They’re dead to me, every last one of them.

There you go imagining that Republican votes transmute into Democrat votes, or vice versa.

They don't ~ there are many tens of millions of American Republicans and American Democrats who don't vote even though they can, but they don't do it as a regular practice. With a great deal of effort the parties can sometimes get them out to vote.

The way to win is to make sure the other party's backers don't feel like voting this time!

Also, there's a corollary ~ that it is remarkably stupid to discourage your own backers from voting!

totally agree, but competent candidates are needed.

dufus candidates like Mourdock and Akin who don’t have sensible answers to the tough questions they KNOW the liberal media will ask them are not good enough...
