Don't blame Obama.....

How then do you explain the GOP still looses with black and latino candidates. I voted for Lynn Swann for Governor in '06, he lost big time. Alan West, a war hero just lost re-election in Fla......war heroes are discriminated against by the Dem.party.

The word representatives, in this case, means the electorate, the voters, not candidates. What's lacking is a diverse majority of voters. The GOP needs to court a broader base. You'll be hearing more about this in the coming months as the party's officials figure out what they need to do to stem the tide of losses in the general election.

They need to have a factory class.

Wilbur, that's naughty!

A factory class for voters or politicians?

Make everyone a manager @fast food places, save the house mortage that they overextended themselves on, did not read the contract, more welfare, unemployment some do not deserve, disability benefits for a bunch of folks that don't deserve it, and then tell me why i can't hire employees for $19 per hour, minimum 45 hrs per week, plus full benefits in a town of 5,000 in Iowa. WTF...................I call BS on it even before the last 4 years..........

Later

Venting one's spleen is good. However, the outcome will be the same four years from now unless there's a change in the demographic of Republican voters. Here are some clues:

Republican Party Brand Is in Tatters as the Changing Demographics Help President Obama Deliver a Romney Shellacking

Nov 7, 2012 by JANET SHAN

The finger-pointing in the Republican Party has started and it’s about to hit a fever pitch with President Obama’s shellacking of Mitt Romney at the polls. Let me reiterate, President Obama won 303 Electoral College votes to Mitt Romney’s 206. The president also edged out Romney in the popular vote — 50% to 48%. The message the Republican Party should take from this is that it’s time to kick the lunatics out of the party and stop allowing people like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter (who, by the way, accurately predicted Mitt Romney would lose), Donald Trump, John Sununu, Joe Arpaio, Bryan Fischer and other right wing extremists, to set the tone for their discourse. Mitt Romney allowed himself to be mired in the Republican race-baiting and extremism. In a word, positive is the new black. The beginning of a new era. Mr. Obama’s success speaks to the need for cooperation in Washington D.C. Trump tweeted that the “world is laughing at us.” Um, not really. It’s laughing at people like him for his idiocy.

To put it succinctly, the Republican Party is too old, too white, too male and too extremist.

Mitt Romney’s 1950s persona was a joke to the younger and more diverse American voters. The Republican Party is in dire straits.

GOP asks "why?" and "where do we go from here?"

CHARLES BABINGTON | November 7, 2012 05:44 PM EST |

WASHINGTON — Having

lost the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections,

Republicans plunged Wednesday into an intense period of self-examination, blame-setting and testy debate over whether their party needs serious change or just some minor tweaks.

Surely you jest...referencing those two media outlets who get their operating capital through donors to the cause ( i.e. Geo. Soros, etc) vs. Rush and other conservatives who actually generate and maintain an audience by raising their own operating capital through good old American consumerism. The fact that you want to silence what millions of people want to hear is very telling. Every liberal talk radio show failed.....why is that? You can deny it, but the FACT is the national media is comprised of 90% liberals who were educated by liberal institutions, and are registered Democrats. My question is to you, at what threshold do you fire YOUR guy......10% U.E.? 20% %......If your party is so compassionate, why are you willing to accept virtually NO growth in jobs in 4 years......is it because you want more dependency to secure the next election...then the next? The news media WILL keep spinning that the GOP is always the culprit....regardless of what they do....and gullibility runs rampant among the general public.
