Let Willard’s loss — and the primary debacles of Bachmann, Cain, Perry, Trump, Gingrich, Santorum, et al. — be a death knell to the far-too-large wing of the party that is anti-women’s rights, anti-homosexual, anti-minorities, anti-science, anti-evolution, anti-math, anti-education, anti-environment, anti-renewable energy, anti-non-Christians and climate change-denying. A wing that includes those who loudly and vehemently boast about balancing the books by killing PBS, NPR and Planned Parenthood (a combined microscopic fraction of the federal budget) and whose job proudly fails to include worrying about 47 percent of the American population (a group that is mostly the elderly, low-income and/or unemployed).
There are rational, intelligent, bipartisan people in the GOP who are not tied to absurdly staunch and archaic ideological views and whom aren’t afraid of life in the light of the 21st century.
Unfortunately, those Republicans aren’t currently welcome at the forefront of the party. Here’s to hoping they will be sooner rather than later.
As former Utah governor and GOP presidential candidate Jon Huntsman pondered while on stage with the carnival characters that comprised an early GOP debate: "In a nation of 315 million people … is this the best we can do?"

Chadh. No generalizar=tions- ok. So your point is maybe that all of these supposedly oppressed groups actually have representation in a party that supposedly oppresses them. Makes much more sense now. I think you need to go back to the echo chamber where everyone agrees with your ramblings and no one has any troublesome questions about logic.

VofReason, Boehner was the Republicans representative in negotiations with Obama over Health Care.
Boehner said " I got 98% of everything I wanted " in the negotiations.
So how exactly does giving the Republican representative 98% of everything he wanted amount to lack of co-operation?
In fact, Republicans LOVE Obamacare, except for the clauses that make insurance companies pay out at least 80% in benefits ( where they used to pay out 60 - 70% and kept the rest ) and the clause that they can't deny coverage because of pre-existing conditions
If you allowed the Republicans to write their own bill --- it would be EXACTLY THE SAME without those two clauses.
VofReason posted at 1:44 pm on Thu, Nov 15, 2012.
Hmmm. Cooperation is what the Republicans lack. Odd, was Obamacare a cooperation? If I remember correctly (and I do) the majority of citizens at that time were against it and even some Democrates had to be ("gulp") encouraged to vote for it and then read what was in it. I know the universe is all from one's point of view, but there is very little that the Democrates or the Obama Administration have done that I would consider cooperative. Not that when you control the Executive and the Senate that you give up your upperhand, but it is foolish to portray it otherwise.

I see that a lot of people on this site are having a hard time swallowing all that crow that they are having to eat from the election. Wanting to secede, running over your spouse, committing suicide. Go ahead and continue drinking the poison Fox News kool aid to wash it down. Hypocrits all of you. You espouse freedom and democracy but when the results don't go your way you whine. Your party conveys intolerance and hate and by virtue of your support and sniveling, so do you. As a veteran my wish is that you could be bigger people and advocate for cooperation to make this a better country. It won't happen though because many of you have been brainwashed by all the stereotyped dog whistle lies, letting the very hatred permeate to the core of your soul. Many of you demonize entitlements while collecting them. Your hero, Bill O'reilly said it best, " White America is over as we know it." What he failed to do is explain why. You see some of you had gotten comfortable with the idea of entitled institutionalized advantages for the white race. The fact is that many whites, Women, Latinos, Blacks, Asians, Gays, Jewish or the young voting for Obama had nothing to do with them " wanting free stuff." If you are a simpleton enough to believe that, thats your problem. Know this though, unless your party learns to become inclusive and tolerant and not so bigoted, they won't survive.

Dear sdjtaz: Only the 8th year of Bush's presidency did things go awry. The populace had 7 years of prosperity and over 4% economic growth. According to the pundits, 3.5% maintains reasonable GDP. I didn't agree with the massive bank bailout, but the implosion of the housing/banking industry was due to the Democrats willing to give home loans to those who couldn't afford it. Yes I respect the office of the Presidency, but not this man who can't seem to come clean with his "proven forged" birth certificate, hidden college transcripts, passport, meetings with unrepentant terrorists Bill Ayers while sitting on the board of ACORN, past associations with Black Panthers and SDS. Have you red the Affordable Health Care Act? I doubt it. I haven't, but from the sources, there seems to be total control on ownership and distribution, as you state. Auto bailout? The only ones bailed out were the union thugs, as were the failed Solyndras, totally obfuscating normal business contract protocol. The GM bondholders were s-----d. Yes, obama is a MARXIST------check out his self-appointed, closest cabinet of adviser comrades-----un appointed by congress, accountable to none, save the president. This cadre of misfits are referred to as "CZARS". In closing, research the White House visitor logbook. The muslim brotherhood has quite an impressive resume.

sdjtaz posted at 7:39 pm on Tue, Nov 13, 2012.
It's funny that the same individuals who predicted a massive victory by Mitt Romney are now the ones complaining about the results of the election. To answer some of the posters here: First, to Leon, in 2000, George W. Bush was elected to the Presidency while losing the popular vote. But I remember Republicans stating that he had his mandate. Guess what, Obama won, get over it.
(In)Accuracy, I find it funny that the right would complain about character assassination and dirty tricks. After all, these are their own tactics. In fact, the fact that Leon still shows absolutely no respect for the President and still refers to him as a Kenyan, a socialist, etc... I guess that dirty politics are only OK when it's your candidate playing the game.
For those of you calling Obama a socialist, let us give you insight. Socialism is government taking ownership over the production and distribution of an industry. The only examples that the right uses is "Obamacare". Unfortunately for the right, this does not come close to being socialist, since it uses private care providers to produce and distribute the care. The only basic government involvement in this process is in setting terms and conditions for the contract, and paying the bills. The second attempt to paint Obama as a Socialist was the auto bailout. Again, the bailout allowed private industry to retain control. In fact, I challenge these individuals to name any industry that the government has taken production and distribution away from the private sector under President Obama. If you can't, then shut up the Socialist and Marxist name calling.
For those complaining about Obama's giveaways to get votes, you need to look at the facts. A simple comparison of how much money the citizens of each state pays in federal taxes versus what each state receives back in federal funds is quite interesting. If you look at each, you find that many states that went for Romney receive more money back from Washington than what they spend. In fact, these states include Arizona, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, West Virginia. Consequently, many states that actually send more money to Washington than they get in return include Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and California. It kind of blows that "Obama bought the election" thought.

Thankfully the writer has brought a level head to this topic. Some questions though: if the Republicans are anti women, why are there then women Republicans? Anti minority when there are Minorities who are Republicans? Anti education when many republicans have children and those who attend public schools? Anti environment when we all live in the same environments? Boy, sounds kind of crazy when you look at it that way.

The GOP has no choice but to get it's act together. It lost every battleground state and is one hot mess. Many of us have said this before--extremism and hate is no way to attract voters.
Calmer minds in the GOP will prevail. It may snap them in half, but that would be a most welcome thing at this point. Barry Goldwater predicted all of this---the GOP wrapped itself in the flag and carries a giant bible. And it's voters grow older and older....

Obama went around the US to all of the "Rust Belt" and "Union Worker" dominated States promising every Government Give-Away under the Sun to get their Votes. Just like the Hookers on Canal Street in Amsterdam who flash a little "u-know-what" to bring in the "Johns". He knew he couldn't deliver on 90% of these promises but he knew that these people were so used to receiving Government Hand-Outs that they wouldn't question the probability of actually getting these hand-outs.
And now we see Obama in his first week after the Election not celebrating not flying around the Country back-slapping all the Minorities and the Union Leaders but cowered in the White House "bunker" because....."Booty-Gate" is exploding all around him, Leon Panetta, the Secretary of Defense, Hillary "Benghazi Cover-up" Clinton, the Secretary of State and Obama's Attorney General, Eric "Fast and Furious Gun-Running Scandal" Holderman.........the F.B.I. Director didn't see fit to have his chauffer drive him to the White House and inform his "boss" about this breaking Scandal. Obama's "BFF" Department of Justice head, Holderman didn't have his chauffer drive him to the White House to advise the President that the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, the F.B.I., was being investigated for possible "Security Breaches" to his paramour. That there was a possibility that Patraeous's.... "pillow talk" may have disclosed "secret C.I.A. Detention Houses in Benghazi as Patraeous's paramour stated at a Book Signing Event. C.I.A.

We hear from them how making the rich...richer, will somehow benefit the average American, yet the proof is not in the pudding. Corporate America is setting record profits and making more than they ever have, same with Wall St. Funny...that trickle down doesn't seem to be working so well, does it? The Republican Party has left the job of cleaning up their mess to the Left and refuse to do anything to help. No wonder they lost the election by such a wide margin.

Yes Mike since you brought up the subject of comprehensive immigration reform (code name - unconditional amnesty), you do realize it is nothing more than yet another concession to the open borders Hispanics and their liberal supporters. Of course you folks have no game plan for reducing or eliminating further illegal immigration. Heck, they are pouring across the borders even now in anticipation of the great giveaway. Sadly, it will make the 1986 amnesty look like a cakewalk.

Chad H here: Thanks to EVT for posting my letter.
To respond to a couple of the non-trolls:
onerebel: Are there wingnuts on the left? Yes, of course. But to most of those on the left they are properly labeled as wingnuts. The big difference is they are not a "far-too-large wing of the party" as I mention in my letter. They are not the forefront of the party. Democratic congressmen/women don't take their marching orders from MSNBC pundits, Michael Moore, etc the way so many Republican elected officials take their cues from Limbaugh, Fox News, etc in an attempt to pander to their audiences.
Accuracy: It was Obama who had the plan was "divide and conquer through fear"? Obama hasn't had to deal with endless race-baiting and absurd fear-mongering for 4+ years? It's not class warfare when Republicans are shouting that all Dems are poor and lazy and only look for handouts? Really?
Dale Whiting: I'm also a fan of Huntsman. I've never voted GOP for president but would be tempted to in 2016 if Huntsman runs. I also was thinking of people like Jeb Bush when mentioning Republicans I'd like to see at the forefront of the party. Even if neither of them ran for President, it'd be great for everyone if people like them were leading the GOP.
Admittedly, I wouldn't have voted for either of them over Obama and I wouldn't vote for them over Hillary in 2016, but if they stayed true to their beliefs (though I certainly don't agree with all their beliefs) and I was questionable on the Dem candidate, I would definitely consider voting for one of those two in 2016. As long as they didn't flip into panderers.

In some ways your right….Leon Ceniceros.
Obama received 50.5% of the popular vote.
Kill your opponent by character assassination and promise freebies to your base . . . is Chicago style politics.
That's exactly how President Obama beat Mitt Romney. The empty-suit incumbent won by defaming and distorting Romney into an evil caricature.
Obama’s simple plan of dividing and conquering through fear, envy and class warfare trumped all else, barely 50.5%. The appeals to race, gender and emotion triumphed over economic reason and self-interest and the good of the country.

1reb... I seldom agree with you because your comments tend to push everything to the far left or right. This time I do agree. I think when Jesus spoke of the “mote thy brother's eye” he was referring to being too blinded by one's own opinion to see other views. He was saying we should see what we can see rather than blaming our fellow man for what he does not see. No negative ads there!
We need to remember that although Moore may actually believe what he portrays, he's in the business of doing so. His views are, as you indicate, extreme, and that sells books, movies and notoriety. While he may have some protagonists out there, his views are far left of the norm, and far left of the average democrat.
To paint “the left” with such a broad brush is to paint “the right” with a similar, set in stone, uncompromising brush that allows neither side to approach the middle. Those positions have always had negative results. If congress (both sides) holds to such dogma nothing can be accomplished except finger pointing. That's been going on for too long already.
onerebel posted at 8:49 am on Mon, Nov 12, 2012.

What about the all out assault by the left on Anyone that disagrees with their views ? Yes there are wackos on the right, maybe almost as many as on the left!

Two things:
As long as Leon's "comments" reflect the Republican media cocoon, Republicans will have a hard time winning the Presidency.
Second, the letter writer shouldn't be so smug. Does he think the next Democratic nominee for Pres will bring out the minority and youth vote like Obama has?
Unless that nominee is Hilary, Democrats could easily be looking at an enthusiasm deficit in those two groups, a deficit that could lead to the Republicans winning in 2016.
Unless, of course, the Republicans go hard right and pick a True Believer. In which case, it'll be another four years of a Democratic Admininistration.
As a sidenote: Hey, Leon, how do you like all the Republicans politicos and media types suddenly "evolving" on immigration, now calling for comprehensive reform that includes legal residency (or in Hannity's view, citizenship) for current illegal immigrants? Bet you're happy with that, eh?

The handwriting was on the wall as Willard proceeded to alienate every demographic, possible. You may not like it, but the white male will soon be a minority. Women and Hispanics kicked your behind, big time and it will only get worse if you don't wake up. Obama accomplished a lot in spite of the fact that the treasonous Republicans set out to block every single thing he tried to do. That included issues that Republicans had originally supported. The rape candidates ate their lunch and the rest of the Republicans stood by and watched, even though they were embarrassed and mad. It was more important to win than to do what was right. We have a real President again rather than an empty suit with a billion dollars hidden everywhere but the USA.

What you're missing here is the system. Obama is a blip, and he will probably not be remembered kindly. The system was built to (What you do with a nail with ridges an instrument to twist them) and up power. When I was young, I thought a well run society could give me everything, but as I grew I learned society could only provide a skeleton, a framework against which I could fail or succeed, or even be me. The system originally limited voters, to property holders, stake holders. When you moved beyond that, you moved beyond the limits of it. The American system was built to limit the power of government, they are not our life and death, but rather a structure by which we are free to be ourselves. the government isn't structured to do things for us, but to build a fence between us and anarchy. In order for liberalism to work, you need better people in government, clearer lines of responsibility, and longer tenures to make things work. With what you have, the structure, the best you can do is the fence and personal freedom, it can't give anybody anything at all, when it does, you know only that it won't work out. Obama is and will be a failure, because he is incompetent in the first place, and because what he is attempting is impossible under our system. It isn't the first time we have voted with failure on the top of the list of things government needs to do, nor, I hope, will it be the last. ( the censorship here is rather obnoxious, and stupid, but then it has to be given the columnists they publish)

I am not optimistic about the USA. Somewhere along the line we lost it. Too many Americans have lost the work ethic, lost personal responsibility. Too many want to blame others for their plight. Too many are jealous of success. Add to that the sad truth that we live in a celebrity driven culture - one where shallow people (like Obama) thrive. The Fourth Estate (that's the press for those of you who went to public schools) is extinct. They no longer report news, they make it and skew it to fit their own liberal agenda. We were warned. For over 50 years, social commentators have been writing about the dangers ahead, the coming socialist state, the rise of the underclass which wants equality. We've dumbed down schools so much that too many of today's citizens are unbelievably stupid. Make no mistake, the political class likes it and wants it that way. The Republican party is doomed. Traditional American values are an endangered species. We will become another "has-been" country. History is littered with them.

Obama achieved a resounding Electoral College victory, with 332 votes to Mitt Romney's 206, by winning narrowly in battleground states Ohio, Colorado, Virginia, and Flordia he also beat Romney by about 2.5 million in popular vote. Obama fully earned this re-election. His bold actions in 2009 saved the country from depression, and his health-care reform plan will bring coverage to 30 million Americans. The Los Angeles Times
Obama's economic proposals are actually " quite clear." He wants responsible spending cuts combined with higher taxes for the wealthy and in January, he's likley to get them. TNR.com
Romney nearly cought Obama when he ran away from the "severly conservative" position he adopted during the primaries. But it was to late. To a majority of voters, particularly single women, Hispanics, social liberal young people, and gays, a flawed Obama was the safer choice. Those voters "are no longer The Other," it was pointed out in the New Republic this week. "They are the authentic face of America." to win future national elections, Republicans will have to adapt to this new reality.
