I think we have positively established here, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that the GOP lost seats in the House, lost seats in the Senate, and lost the race for the White House -- all with the country in disarray, unemployment at 8%, and a very vulnerable Democrat party -- because Americans are stupid fucking leeches. And many of them are "commies", too. The GOP did absolutely nothing wrong, they ran an excellent campaign, and it's obviously all someone else's fault.
I'm glad we have THAT figured out.

Well, Americans certainly have become more and more of leeches in the last couple decades, but I think a lot of people are going to have a subconscious tendancy to take money for nothing because when faced with 2 choices, human nature is to choose the easier one.
And this is definitely something that needs to be combated by the GOP for election purposes...but ridiculing these people as "the 47%", guilt tripping, and any other types of calling out and putting on the spot, isn't going to win them over. These people need to be empowered, not ridiculed.
I say leave that kind of rhetoric out of the campaign. Independent voters seem to have compassion for welfare in one way or another. You're not going to win them over by kicking welfare recipients in the balls every election cycle.
If Americans have become more leeches it is, in my opinion, because they have no other alternative with the economic mess created by 6 years of democrat federal majority. I don't blame the people what else are they going to do? Clinton made sure their jobs went overseas and now Obama is importing Mexicans to pick up the rest of the work. Yeah they could flip burgers for minimum wage.
