Democracy is a good system for governing a relatively homogeneous people with shared ideals and values; it is not a reasonable system for sharing power between two or more groups with nothing in common at all who basically just hate eachother. At that point, all you have left is a contest to see who can do the better job of gaming the system, and the dems are simply much better at that than we will ever be.
No marriage this bad would last five seconds and we should be thinking about ways to affect a divorce without a second civil war. Red/blue county maps show the dems owning something like 20-25 population centers and little other real estate outside of that, and they should not be running our lives on that basis.
Check with President Kerry on that one.
Look, Barry and his boys "got" the undecideds and Team Romney did not.
Kissing up to women at the convention and taking no strong stands on anything gave the "undecideds" much, much more credit than they deserved.
They were (and are) a herd of sheep, waiting to be told what to think and what to do, Axelrod understood this in detail, Romney did not.
End of story.
Well, you shouldn't believe it, because it didn't happen.
Romney got about a million more votes than McCain did, and Obama 2012 got about four million fewer votes than Obama 2008 did. Also, about 200,000 more people voted for a third party than in 2008. All the totals moved in the right direction - just not far enough.
