Yawwwwwwn. Feeling overwhelmed lately? Yeah I bet, that's what happens when you launch attacks from multiple fronts around here, just ask Hitler how that worked out. LOL!
You're so confused about the reasons why Romney lost I don't even know where to begin, but I will say that Obama was gonna win no matter what because the masters of puppets wanted it that way. Plus, having a nation full of idiots doesn't help much either.
I mean I guess if you like your Constitutional rights beings slowly taken away like you do, then what more can I say? You can't be that much of an imbecile can you, really? Shakes head...........
Yuh know Long lost one,You might want to consider picking your battles instead of sabotaging your own drivel filled rants before they even leave your finger tips, because It's counter-productive towards your already doomed cause.
Then again I guess If I were you, I would also just pull the boats plug and sink it. Probably better just to get it over with.

The thing is did the Republican base go full retard or did the slight majority of those who voted go full retard? Did the liberals win? Yep but not by much. Does winning make you right? I do not think so. Is there any reason to believe the country will get better because the left one? Not by the comments I read on here by the left like yourself. In fact such comments. meant to further polorize the public, lead me to believe just the opposite.

I agree, winning does not make you right. Just look at 8 years of Bush.
But on a very fair level, when you have so many people saying the Republican base is full of lies and fantasy. And then you look for yourself and see all the fear and misinformation peddled from FOX News. I mean you don't have to be Left or some highly evolved being to see they are retarding a nation. It's happening and its shocking and tragic.
The likes of MSNBC, CNN, they just don't compare to FOX News. And then when you add the fact that FOX News fought in a court of law for their right to lie, and the obvious shady business practices of Rupert Murdoch. It's just so obvious.
It's a full retardation of the Republican Party. Call me left, but on this issue I'm 100% right.

It may be practical for the Republican Party to help the Tea Party folks form their own official party. That way there would be a clear distinction of who is who and what they want. Right now, all Republicans are forced to go down with the ship on behalf of a minority party-within-a-party.

Well see the Tea party dosent want to buy votes. They dont hold that the plundering of public and private funds will lead to any good. Thats why they are beset. Of the two the rebublicans are the real politcal animals.....thats why the TP is giving them cramps.
Despite strong support from Wall Street in the 2008 campaign, Barack Obama appeared ready to set a course correction, at least judging by his tough campaign speeches on financial reform. But the financial collapse intervened, and made matters worse. To save an economy in crisis, Obama felt obliged to bring in Wall Street types like Tim Geithner and Larry Summers, and he resisted cracking down on the suddenly fragile-seeming banks. Armageddon was averted, but politically, Obama ended up with the worst of both worlds. Wall Street was irked at him anyway, because even his mild criticisms and moderate reforms bruised egos and crimped profits. Meanwhile, voters saw him and the Democrats as in league with the bailed-out banks. In theory, both things could not be true, but in political reality, they very much were.
Which led to the great demoralization of the 2010 midterms. Voters were angry and frustrated and confused, and Republicans capitalized on that confusion. Even as Wall Street shifted its support toward the GOP, Republicans ran on a populist, anti-establishment platform. The main feature of this platform was an attack on the "bailouts," a phrase they skillfully used to refer to both TARP and the economic stimulus package, thereby tarring that mix of tax cuts and spending with the deep unpopularity of the bank bailouts that both parties had agreed to in late 2008. The brazenness was breath-taking: Club for Growth-backed candidates running as anti-Wall Street crusaders. But it worked. A wave of Wall Street-backed Republican freshmen swept into office under the guise of pitchfork-wielding insurgents. In mid-2011, I met one of them, Georgia's Tom Graves, who was heavily backed by the Club for Growth but emerged as a leader of the Tea Party caucus, on the night of the final vote to bring the debt ceiling showdown to a close. Where did I meet him? At Nationals Park, where he was taking in a game in AT&T's corporate skybox.

You are free to imagine the negativity of Freedom and Liberty. I choose not to. I see opportunity to enjoy life as I believe we were meant to. You speak of subjugation but you spout the dogma of a "mob rules" mentality...is that not subjugating the few to the will of the many? I prefer that we all just be free to do our best.
I don't have to imagine it.
Every time a sector of the economy is deregulated a bunch of crooks move in and run it into the ground, forcing the government to come back in and re-regulate it.
The real "imaginary" thing is a completely deregulated capitalist society in which everyone played fair and some "invisible" force protected us from crooks and conmen and massive multinational monopolies.
US Libertarians are selfish, delusional hippies...

Get a clue!!! MSNBC is a LIBERAL network and Frum is a RINO there to placate fools like you who desperately want to cling to some notion that the network is moderate and balanced.
With a crash, a bang, a boom and a BIG taste too, OH YEAH - HEY KOOLAID!!!

What's interesting to me is this argument about how there are always those people who abuse the system but many who prosper and the good outweighing the bad... That's how a lot of people feel about welfare. Feeding poor families giving them a leg to stand on... So they dont starve and die. But for some reason it's easier for Republicans to accept the rich taking advantage of a system, than the poor. Always siding with the rich. I just don't see the enlightened being siding with rich people abusing the system so they can control it and bring it to its knees, while saying welfare recipipients who abuse the system for the necessities of food and shelter are somehow much worse.
