QuoteSo you are one of those people who don't think the Constitution should be taken as-is; that it should be reinterpreted in light of other documents. That's fine. But it's a bit hypocritical to get all offended when other people do the same.
I would seriously appreciate an elaboration. The more I read this the less sense it is making to me, given the statements I have made.

But the root reason is the gop used to be progressive now they are not. People thankfully are evolving and the gop is anti evolution no pun intended.
coco seems like a randian/objectivist, even if he doesn't realize it.
Also, to reiterate my previous post which no one read or responded to because it was apparently too long and not written in sound bite form:
they lost because:
economy
social issues
demographics
ground game
strawmen issues hammered about by the right wing media (LIBYA SANDY BIRTH CERTIFICATE MOOSLIM!)
living in an information bubble.
there, short enough for you? now, let's argue about my completely unexplained, out of context sound bytes instead of what i actually said, like everyone else around here does.
*edited to add.. "you" in the latter half of this post is the general you, not specifically directed to ohchute

I would say, Franklin... but how do you figure? I haven't read any of her books, but I am aware of the basics. Like knowing she is Godless.
I didn't respond because I don't agree, nor really care. He lost. So lets stop nominating McCain's and Romney's... and collectivism will lose.

But I'd rather talk about Principles, not politics.
Romney is a progressive... even Jimmy Carter said it. Progressive vs Progressive. Hey, what do you know, the progressive won.

His economic plan was "Vote for me and you will see". He had no real plan to create the jobs he predicted.
Naming Ryan as VP was a very poor choice. His budget plan doesn't add up and the older population is afraid of him.
Bashing gay rights and playing the God card is a losing battle.
The lingering odor of GWB didn't help.
A lot of people love Bill Clinton. When you can't bring out a Republican President to help fund raise and support your party's candidate, game over.
And if Obama keeps improving the economy and reaches some sort of debt reduction deal with Boehner, he will be a formidable fundraiser for the next election. The Republicans always rally around a dead guy, Ronald Reagan. Most voters don't know who he was and informed voters know he was one of the worst presidents in history.
Mitt being a Mormon scared some voters.
His flip flopping was ridiculous.
His Jeeps to China lie was a whopper.
Take a close look at the last Republican presidents since Ike.
Nixon, left in shame.
Ford was a non factor.
Ronald Reagan crapped all over the Constitution, allowed amnesty to millions of illegals, ran up the national credit card and should have been in jail over Iran-Contra.
Bush 1 was a one termer.
Bush 2 was the worst president in modern history.
There's not much to run on.
Until the Republican party can get a candidate that can run a brilliant grass roots campaign, it will be an uphill battle in today's changing demographics.
Having Fox News folks like Ann Coulter say Romney will lose, primary battles where ever Republican says Mitt isn't a conservative and other same team pundits not rallying behind him wasn't ver helpful either.
When they lost in MA, MI and WI, what does that tell you????

The republicans already had such a candidate in front of their face -- twice. His name is Ron Paul, and his party ignored and laughed at him.
He also appealed to a comparatively broad demographic. For example, Snoop Dogg supported him.

QuoteI buy grocery's. I'm behind the women paying for grocery's with her stamps. I see it. It's not a myth.
You have actually seen a person use food stamps? that's interesting, seeing how they haven't used stamps in almost 15 years.
WIC is on the Demonte Brand and not on the store brand. WIC is plastered all over the store on products. Yes the woman hands the cashier her WIC card or what ever you call it and she paid $14 for $80 worth of groceries.
The card you use (a credit card if you have one) you have to pay for the food--full price. Are you aware the Del Monte is also private label firm and corn in both cans are the same! Why are we allowing the person to have the more expensive corn when corn is corn. And what infant is eating can corn anyway? They don't even have teeth! That the mothers who supposedly needs food for an infant needs corn, potato chips and soda also WIC approved.
Read all about the WIC here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIC
Liberal idiots, just give them what they want and don't worry about what it cost. Perhaps they should be allowed to get caviar on the WIC at $88 an once. I gather babies could gum caviar a lot easier than corn and get more nutrition to boot.
You line of thinking is foolish. Spending more when you really don't have too the reason we are heading to the fiscal cliff.

I could, but why?

Go on then, let's have it.
Naaah, you're just chuteless in disguise.

Yep, a party out of touch with their own party.
Oh Shucks, [finger snap] ya got me.
