...4 million conservatives elected O. They did not vote in the last election...

There is no basis for such a claim.

The problem is not the Republicans, it is an American electorate that elected a guy like Obama to be President in the first place and then re elected him to a second term despite the incompetence,


No, 4 million conservatives elected O. They did not vote in the last election and if they had voted against him it would have been an embarrassing loss to O. Instead they did not vote.. which was an actual vote for O.

Such children also cost us SCOTUS as O will get to appoint 2 to 4 justices to SCOTUS. The libs wanted that as much as they wanted O back in office. See my tag line.


I consider them part of the moronic electorate.

I was referring to the hapless Republican elected officials .

It's hard to take a firm stand on issues when you don't have the political support of the voters back home.

They face fanatical opposition form the Obama zombies and can't rely on the conservative voters back home to have the f**king brains to realize that you don't elect Republicans for ideological cosmic purity or to cater in lock step to every whim of your 1001 point agenda - you elect Republicans to protect you from Democrats.

Especially to protect America from the Obama his merry band of destroy the country from within revolutionary Marxist faction of the Democrat Party that and

After seeing the results of the 2012 election, can you blame any Republican elected official who looks at the results and figures that it every man for himself time.

They are going to lose all state offices in Virginia come November. GOP are being outspent and lots of Government employees in Northern Virginia. the shutdown didn’t cause it, but it is certainly not helping. The Media is going to be all over it and scaring Rinos with the outcome.

Bullshit.

Blame whoever. The reality is that no matter how polished Romney was by the end of the season, he was not enough in contrast to Obama to energize an electorate that did not want Obama/Romneycare.

A vote for "none of the above" is just that. You could just as well say that by not voting for Obama they voted for Romney, too.

Well, they'd better get their collective arse in gear, or that was a waste of my time. Their batting average sucks.
