Just two years ago, the Republicans, spearheaded by the Tea Party, elected 60+ Congressmen. How could the nation's mood change so decisively in just two years? Had we picked the right candidate, and had he run a competent campaign, we might have won.
Don’t disagree on Romney and his campaign being another example of GOP ineptitude and another slap in the face to conservatives. 60+ Tea Party wins in the House doesn’t reflect a mandate either. However, it’s a moot point. We have a nation of people voting in the majority more concerned with what the Federal government is going to provide them in “free” money and benefits than there are citizens who want to adhere to constitutional restrictions on that same government to ensure liberty. The nation has lost control of who is within our borders legitimately and has lost control of who is legitimately voting. We are no longer a sovereign nation with checks and balances of power bound by a common idea of individual liberties. Welcome to the New Banana Republic and idiocracy.
