I think you were spot on in that the GOP vote dropping '08 to '12 is not plausible. Yeah Romney was a weak candidate, but back in '08 you had even a weaker candidiate, coupled with Bush fatigue. It just doesn't pass the red faced test.
All in all Scandalpalooza sums up what I have been saying on other threads. We are seeing an unprecedented historic level of corruption in the Executive Branch that makes Nixon look like a boy scout.
Now the problem of why we are screwed In my young days, this despot would have been railed out.
(1)Now we have a complicit media who all own their own Obama autographed kneepads.
(2)Coupled with an huge entitlement faction who only cares about their welfare check.
(3) 10-15% Moonbatshit crazy left wing loonies who would love nothing less than to turn this country into 1950's USSR.
(4) Racially motivated minorites who would have voted for Hitler in '08 and '12, if he would have been black.
(5) PC based society who lives in fear of appearing racist calling out this incompetent bastard.
(6) GOP has blame too, shoving weak RINO candidates down our throat. Good thing these same weak links weren't around back in '80, or we would have had Nelson Rockefeller on the ticket. And don't even get me started on the Immigration Bill of 2013, which needs to be changed to the GOP Suicide Bill of 2013.
Very trying times, I needed a rant.
Well written, friend. Might even be grist for another editorial. Peace to you and love in your life.
