Romney lost because he misread the public. He knew that pretty much half of the American public would vote democrat because that's where they get their goodies from. He just misread the remainder. His entire campaign was built around the erroneous belief that Americans wanted jobs. They don't want a job. They wanted an obamaphone.

Americans would rather have a phone than a job?.....if you say so Katz.....

I notice > a few conservatives using a FOREIGN paper (The Guardian) as a ref as of late. What self-respecting Red stater would reference a foreign source?

Same mindless twits that use Russian media for support of their hate for Oblama.

you have so much respect for the guy you call him OBLAMA....

sorry Harry, but it is sure seeming that way ...they did re-elect him with still 7.6% unemployment

The number one reason Obama was re-elected...

Because he was and still is the superior choice to both McCain and Romney.

really, superior?
tell that to those STILL in his 7.4% unemployment after FIVE LONG PAINFUL YEARS

Romney wanted to cut government jobs by 10%....about 280,000 more unemployed.

Try again.

I agree halfway, Dante. But, I think in general Americans LIKE their president. It's the home team thing to do. Sure, there are extremes in both sides of the electorate. But, if Ford hadn't had the RW challange of Reagan, and the Nixon pardon, and then the gaffe about Poland, he wins in 76. Carter, though a policy wonk who was proved right by time in the ME, interest rates, stealth technology, energy efficiency ... was God awful politican, and Reagan was very likeable guy. I never voted for him as governor or potus, but I genuinely liked him. BushI ... look at the swing states he lost. If the extreme of the RW hadn't erupted over taxes, they'd never had Bill Clinton to drive them into a state of insanity. BushII scared the shit outta everybody to get re-elected, but he really isn't a bad person. Horrible potus, but not a bad guy.

Unless, you're an old white person, Obama has an admirable backgroud. In some ways he's post racism. He showed some courage on the Iraq war.

You see the posts here. "Obama won because haflfthe country gets a handout." Clue: generally elections are around 47-53 or thereabouts. You don't think Mitt got rich by sucking off the tit? There's a cayman island just for you. When Mitt made the 47% comment, he was dead.

And that's why Cruz is poison. A party can't win by playing on divisions and divisiveness. Sure, Duckass got killed on Willie Horton, but all Duckass had to say is "I'd have wanted to rip his heart out," but he whimped out. Tagged as a whimp. BushII tagged Kerry as a flipflopper because he IS a filpflopper.

Reagan, Clinton, LBJ .... never would have dismissed any portion of the electorate as being "less worthy." And Romney by all reports is a decent man. He certainly was not divisive as a governor. Not a backslapper, but not tossing anyone out of the boat. He seemed insincere, imo, because he was insincere. He had to run as a TPM to get the nomination, but the country simply isn't gonna elect a TPM as potus.

A party can't win by playing on divisions and divisiveness.

then both parties should be losing.....

Having 280,000 more unemployed isn't a good thing which is why it's good news that unemployment has been steadily reduced--the way we measure it anyway--over the last year.

Sorry.

Not everyone that works for the government is a "leech" you ignorant bitch.

The Number One reason why America chose Obama is he is as diametrically opposite of George W. Bush as it gets, visually, personally, and intellectually. The same cannot be said for either McCain or Romney, both of whom are much too physically, politically, and behaviorally White, therefore reminiscent of Bush.

As it turns out, Mr. Obama is just as White as, if not just a bit whiter than, Bush. But he's wearing an effective disguise.

my dear, stop taking thing so personally, we were talking about a 10% cut in government workers and Romney...it's not like we can't live without that cut
are you going to say there aren't ANY who work for the guberment who aren't lazy and leeches? I worked for them too a few times and speak from experience that I saw...you all can feel what you want

are you saying that those govt employees are incapable of finding and keeping a job in the private sector? Your statement assumes that 100% of them would be unable to find other work.

your ignorance is showing frankie boy. police, firemen, and teachers are NOT federal employees. They are paid by state and local governments, not DC.


corporations are sitting on cash because of the impacts of obamacare. Get rid of that POS law and corporations will start spending and hiring big time, and govt revenues will increase.

Obama is lying to you, frankie
