I recall the popular GOP theme in 2012 (Romney/Ryan leading the charge ) was that all rich guys are job creators and if any of them pay less taxes WE will all benefit from it, and then we wont even need Medicare when we retire.

That's a pretty skewed view on the message. Not to say their campaign wasn't flawed, but it wasn't that. They correctly identified that taxing the hell out of the successful is not a solution to any of the problems we face. They did not successfully make that case, clearly.

That is what they sounded like, and then that idiot Romney gets caught at a fundraiser telling his rich donor buddies that 47% of Americans are moochers who ‘we dont have to worry about’. That pretty much told voters he was a jerk who acted like he liked them but really despised them.

Then many tried to defend that and support it was if it was a positive.

Many here were sure it was a winning message, and Rush was telling them it was and that Romney would win.

I on the other hand could see how self destructive it was and was sure he would lose.
