They couldn't beat Romney because the voting public isn't paying attention to what's really happening.
Too many of them are worried about being nice, rather than solving problems.
Too many elected Republicans are "going along to get along", instead of standing up for principles.

So where are we in this "Fatal Sequence" of The Cycle of Nations:?

Bondage to Spiritual Faith;
Spiritual Faith to Courage;
Courage to Freedom;
Freedom to Abundance;
Abundance to Selfishness;
Selfishness to Complacency;
Complacency to Apathy;
Apathy to Fear;
Fear to Dependency;
Dependency to Bondage

Of course re-electing Obama keeps the nation on a terrible course. And yes, it reflects badly on a large segment of voters.

My point was we’re not the victims of some GOP conspiracy, or the establishment or elite or whatever. We’re not victims or battered wives as someone else suggested.

We had a weak field; we need better candidates.
We had sideliners and third-pary vote wasters; we need more unity.

And we need to work on our long term problems in education and culture.

Playing the victim doesn’t help.
