http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/11/07/the-real-real-america/ You can't attack women, the poor, and peoples retirement benefits and think you are going to win. Why do conservatives want to live in a land that only benefits the ultra-wealthy and corporate interests? Krugman hit the nail on the head. To sum it up better here is Eric Schwartz ladies and gentlemen: Amen!
The right wingers can't stand the demographic and cultural shifts happening in America. Let them keep railing against the wind and they will find themselves completely isolated. History is not on their side!
Personally i wish this country would split in two. We' be rid of you, and youd be rid of us. Frankly i hate you liberals. You know why it wont split tho? Cause you idiots are too pathetic to take care of yourselves. You could not survive without conservatives. Meanwhile, we'd thrive without you leeches.
Low information voters may win elections, but they can't govern effectively without cooperation. The House of Representatives will stymie Obama. We may be a minority, but our numbers are sufficient to ensure that your new US becomes very ill.
Haha yea ok, i'd love to see the deep south fend for themselves, we'll just keep all the economic centers in the country. You can have, I dunno, Atlanta?
You would end up running like Brazil. You would unknowingly give all the power to corporations and the elite. There would be no effective regulations, no safety standards, and the government would be a shell. You would find no way of supporting anything but a very meager lifestyle. You would be told you are "free" yet drugs would be illegal, protesting would be illegal, hell anything the elites didn't want. Better not strike!
Well we'd take all the things you libs hate: corporations, coal and natural gas, and the military. You could take all the things you love: druggies, (*)(*)(*)(*), all your pet minority groups, windmills, and the unions. Now my question to you is, who would support all you freeloaders? Who are you going to tax to sustain yourselves? The Hollywood elite? Would it be just like one big hippie commune? lol. You losers would be tunneling to our side within a month, assuming Cuba doesn't take you over first.
European countries, Japan, and other industrialized nations all have UHC. They all have energy, corporations, and regulations. I think the problem you are having is mixing up wanting an effective government that works, and what you do which is vote for the ultra wealthy and their desire for no minimum wage, no regulation, and no tax for the wealthy. You would implode. Be happy that we are here to help you.
More than anything, I think this election proved that you don't actually have to win Florida, Ohio, or Virginia to win the election. Obama managed to win Ohio and Virginia, and even though he may even get Florida too, he still would've won without all 3. All future candidates should take note that the strategy has to be very widespread and culturally diverse to win presidential elections now. No single swing state is the end-all, be-all place to win now. A lot of electoral weight has shifted westward, and Obama's wins in Nevada, New Mexico, and Colorado should be a wake-up call to Republicans that they can no longer take the Interior West for granted. The Northeast and the West Coast seem to be guaranteed blue states now, while Texas and the rest of "tornado alley" is red state territory. However, the Interior West and much of the Southeast is up for grabs now. A major tipping point for politics in America will occur if Georgia turns into a swing state. It's still a reliably red state for now, but as it urbanizes, it slowly leans more to the left. By the same token, Democrats have to be wary of Republican gains in the Upper Midwest. Wisconsin still went to Obama, but it was by a slimmer margin than for Democrats in the past. Some of this can be attributed to Paul Ryan, but the state overall is less liberal than it was a decade ago.
Japan lost an entire decade in the 90s, doing exactly what you fools just voted for. How many European countries are on the verge of collapse due to high taxes and insane entitlement programs (again, like you just voted for)? See what you libs are too dumb to understand is, eventually someone else's money will run out. There's only so much of it, and even if you had it all, you'd still want more. When you don't get it, will you run amok like they're doing in Greece? Me personally, I'll be just fine. I have an advanced degree, years of experience in my field, and a work ethic. The ones that are going to be crushed are you libs, but again, you're just too dumb to understand it. Actually the more I think about it, I'm glad Obama won. I want to see you morons living in poverty. I hope every city turns into Detroit. Won't phase me one bit.
I think what we also learned is that it's very hard to beat an incumbent president. It hasnt' happened since Reagan beat Carter. I mean, Clinton/Bush you could say, but you could also say Perot played a huge part in that. Obama's been on the campaign trail for 2 years, and the damage done in the primaries is huge. Fortunately, voter ID will be in place in 2016, so that'll eliminate the democrats main advantage. Also, Hillary or whoever will also have to get through a heated primary to get the nomination. That advantage Obama enjoyed will be gone. I'm sure the media will still be in the tank for the dems, but hard to believe they'll flat out worship any candidate like they did Obama. It'll be a long 4 years, but it'll be a lot of fun.
What I understand is we have a fiat currency. Both parties have expanded its supply in their tenure. The republicans were more than happy to do it in their tenure. Do you deny this? Yet when people want their investments back then Rpeubs say there is no money. Seems rather dishonest doesn't it?
George Bush took us on a little cruise towards a cliff. Obama grabbed the wheel and floored it. The Tea Party wanted to slam on the breaks, but idiot libs just said 'full speed ahead!'. I'm looking forward to it. Like I said, I'll be fine. Most conservatives will be fine, because we typically have jobs and solid work ethics. It's the poor saps on the left that'll be wandering the streets with their hands out. Eventually, there will be nothing to fill those hands, except a steaming pile of (*)(*)(*)(*).
RWers couldn't find the other end of a tunnel. The fact is almost every single red state needs federal funds to stay afloat. Just more reality that slips past all of you.
I can appreciate that you guys are all happy that Obama slimed his way to a second term but why does the winner always have to make such far fetched and over reaching declarations? Obama got 50.4% of the popular vote and Romney got 48.1% (though those numbers may shift a bit as final vote counting takes place). That's a nearly even split of almost 120 million votes! If you gave Romney the inestimable advantage of having the totality of the government approved media to wage over half his campaign for him, it's very reasonable to believe that those two meager percentage points might switch places and we would have president elect Romney right now, instead of Incompetence Part Deux...the Return of Obama.
