This is going to grow.
A candidate who talked about using the voting booth as a tool for revenge would have been ran out of office in 1980.
Today, he gets re-elected. Because that growing demographic believes they are entitled to revenge against what ever group they are told have oppressed them.
Guess who will be in the streets rioting and destroying when the checks don’t and can’t come , anymore?
Anyone who thinks the lesson learned by Republicans will be that they weren’t conservative enough is fooling himselve. Anyone who thinks that third parties will be anything other than ankle biters is also fooling himselve. Republicans will have to find a way to attract the Latinos who have some conservative values and also black Christians.
One of the things that this observation inevitably fails to bring up is that there are people who considered themselves “white” in 1980 who are now counted as “Hispanic” and there are plenty of “Hispanic” people who are every bit as “white” as plenty of other people who are counted as white.

For 30 years, the frauds from both parties flooded the country with tens of millions of socialist foreigners and illegal aliens...While the corrupt big gov public schools totally brain washed the youngsters.
And now everyone is surprised?
Whites in the US will go the same way as whites in Africa, be afraid.
For two decades there has been an all out effort to flood the nation with Mexicans, Chinese, and every variety of muslim. The GOP was eyeballs deep in this.
Bush threw the door open for 8 years.
Now the fun begins, thanks A-holes.
The demographics are changing.
Part of it is Romney’s liberalism - he is a nice guy I’m sure but being a nice guy doesn’t win you elections and conservatives are lousy at outreach to women and minorities.
You can no longer win national election with white men alone - it ain’t enough.
And being as liberal as the Democrats are ain’t a winning strategy.
And Obama was elected by the same people who voted for JFK,wonder if the names will be checked?.
I still think something’s funny about those numbers. I think this election was stolen.
And I’m one who was called a CONCERNED TROLL by the Romneybots because I suggested that we take the pre-election polling data seriously (just in case) and my hastag: Keep Working Like we Are 10 points behind”
Polling numbers aside, there is NO WAY this man could have won an election after such a miserable 4 years as President.
Listening to descriptions of how “Democrats got out their ground game” with “superior ability to bring those to the polls who normally would never go” by commentators on Fox election night....made me realize..what the Dems have is track names that HAVE NOT VOTED IN MANY, MANY elections cycles....and voting them. Probably by mail.
A well-funded project, county-by-county..to examine the names signed in at at the polls..and going out to find those individuals..you’ll find they were never physically at he polls..or they themselves never filled out the absentee ballot....or their names in the death registers.
As I recall, Reagan did much better with minorities as well, anyone have the statistics?
WELCOME TO GREECE!!! see you at the riots for 2 month summer vacations and retirement at 55.
me, gonna go get me a gyro and some baklava....
....and bury my guns in pvc pipe.
I don’t think conservatives and conservative republicans need to change their message, they need to get their message out and understood in minority communities. Just as Obama painted Romney as an evil, uncaring rich guy that hated women and minorities, the Democratic party has painted conservatives in the same light. Even most legal immigrants resent illegal immigration — it makes them look bad and they know a lot of criminals cross illegally. Many minorities are socially conservative. The fear of the Republican party has no basis in fact, just a face that has been painted on us by the idiotic left. They created a fake war on women— my gender stupidly fell for it. The hardest obstacle to overcome, in my opinion, is not our ideology but the outright “free stuff†bribery of a democratic welfare state that will bankrupt us all.
We had good candidates, we had good issues. But the reality is that elections are now decided by ethnic groups. The Democrats have been gathering up blacks, Latinos, Asians, Muslims. The Democrats continually call their opposition “racist”. Until we deal with these facts in earnest, we’re going to keep losing.
The problem is that white turnout was below 2008 levels. For whatever reason, numerous portions of the electorate stayed home. The attack ads against Romney didn’t switch votes to Obama as much as they got blue collar white folks to not bother voting.

The media controls the message. The two stories are democrats good (care about the poor) and Republicans bad (rich and greedy).
Its a constant slow drip.
Meanwhile, 0bama flies around on OPM canpaigning the whole time he is in office?
Not to mention spending trillions without any real accountability..?
