The GOP-E, Rove and Company care mostly about them selfs. The GOP needs to stick to what they know, the Economy, Defence and Debt and stay out of people’s bedrooms. Bedroom and social issues should stay at the State level!

I saw a calculation yesterday— sorry, I didn’t bookmark it so I can’t link it— that said that if current demographic changes continue and Hispanics continue to vote Democratic at the same rate, Texas will be a purple state by 2020 and a blue state by 2024.

They havn’t drawn the wrong conclusions. They’ve drawn the same conclusions they always draw:

It’s the conservative’s fault.We must be more moderate. We must pass comprehensive immigration reform. We must stop talking at all about moral issues. We must raise taxes. We must never cut spending. We must stop a conservative nominee at all costs because they never win (those three landslides in the 80’s were just outliers). We must always nominate a moderate because they always win (Ford, Dole, Bush Sr., McCain and Romney were just outliers). etc.

The northeastern establishment liberal GOP have sold their souls to the NYC banking oligarchs and the globalist multinationals. They care only about mammon, but they have the blasphemous audacity to wrap themselves up in evangelical Christian terminology, dragging the holy name of our Lord Jesus Christ through the sewer in order to satisfy their avaricious objectives.

Jesus Christ is not mocked. No man can stand against Him and long prosper. No man can misuse His name and whore His Holy Christian church out to the money-grubbing desires of the elites without coming under His severe wrath. Christians should no longer support the GOP establishment, holding our noses every four years to vote for the lesser of two blasphemous Neros.

Even so, come Lord Jesus.

we're gonna get economic depression. We're going to get all kinds of slowdowns.

For libtards, since they are clueless and stuck on stupid,when there is a crisis caused by big government and an assault on freedom, the solution is even bigger government and less freedom.

Two-point-eight million votes is the number of votes Romney lost in the popular vote to Obama. But get this. Mitt Romney got three million fewer Republican votes than McCain. Do you realize what that means? Did anybody think that Romney would underperform McCain in Republican turnout? Nobody did....

.... If the Republicans who didn't vote had voted, Mitt Romney would have won the popular vote by 180,000. I don't know yet what it might have been in the Electoral College, and no, I'm not crying over spilt milk. This is crucial to understand in terms of what the Republican Party's doing and how they're analyzing why they lost. They did not lose because of demographics. Three million of their voters stayed home. Now, who are they? We don't know yet. But let's play. Let's say three million white voters didn't vote. Let's say that of the three million who didn't vote, half of them are evangelicals. Let's say some of them are the wrong poll group. Let's say some of them are just fed up with Republicans nominating moderates. Who knows. We don't know yet. But it is significant, and it is a mistake -- the Republican Party didn't turn out its base, is what happened....

.... My point is that there is a whole bunch of erroneous analysis taking place by the Republican Party with the aid and comfort of the Democrats and the media who would love for the Republican Party to give up on its ideologically principled positions....

....Where'd I get these numbers? I first got the election numbers yesterday from a Wall Street buddy and then last night Jeff Lord at the American Spectator sent me a blurb and a guy named Sean Trende at Real Clear Politics has analyzed this. These numbers are pretty consistent no matter where you go to find them, the turnout numbers and so forth. I don't know that anybody is disputing them....

Curious; Romney lost but - barring lousy candidates for the Senate, which lost us only 2 seats - we kept the same number of House seats.

“I just can’t stop laughing at the futility of it all!”

Yep. Futility. God stacked the deck against His own at the dawn of time and wants us to bear it in His name ‘till He returns. Watch how fast Evil rises now...in two short years today will seem like Valhalla...

Exactly right, I think. If Pubbies go for amnesty, they will be relegated to minority party status.

How long depends on when the economy implodes, and financial meltdown occurs (ie we are Greece with the riots).

If you take away his presents, Santa Claus becomes a somewhat creepy trespasser.

The first bill out of the Republican House in 2013 should be THE FOODSTAMP, SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY AND FDA REVIEW ACT OF 2013. The Democrats snuck socialism in with these programs. Get rid of the grifters in these programs. Thievery must be punished.

Rush's brilliance shines as usual. It seems to me that GOP strategist used to work on the Edsel project at Ford. Find out what everybody wants in a candidate and manufacture a candidate that meets those credentials.

As far as I can tell from the current machination among to this. “We didn't carry this demographic we need bigger tail fins.” “Women won’t vote for us unless we get ride of boring horizontal grills.” Just like the Edsel for some strange reason our candidate who was the most electable and had the things that everybody wanted mysteriously flopped.

I think people would like to see some evidence of core principals and integrity (why not it worked those Roy Rogers and John Wayne).

Lesson learned from 2012 election:

1. Lie? There is no penalty.

2. Lie. The bigger the lie, the more the slime stream media will ignore it.

3. Lie! Your cool.
