Wow, I did not see this coming. I was pretty much speechless last night other than voicing my concern over this country. When a man with hair as Presidential as mine can’t be President, this country is heading in the wrong direction.I suppose I could have exhorted my fellow Republicans to concentrate on what used to be good about us:Real fiscal discipline, that doesn’t think you can cut the deficit, while cutting taxes and increasing military spending.The belief that a competent and efficient government is the best government. Even liberals like a government that does more with our tax dollars. The notion that government is useless at best, has led my party to appoint cronies and hacks, while turning over authority given to us by the People, to corporations and lobbyists.Giving up the assumption that all taxes are bad. The first sign of a great nation in decline is when it’s wealthiest citizens refuse to pay taxes. Taxes must come from those able to pay them. This is simple logic that is beyond the grasp of many of my fellow Republicans.Backing rights for all citizens. The nonsense about our “Judeo-Christian” values being under attack, just divides and causes hate. We’lll attract a lot more voters if we embrace tolerance and grant the same rights to people who live a little differently than we do. The party of Lincoln was built around this idea.
Poor Mitt. Lost the state he was born in, lost the state he was governor of, and lost the states he has homes in. Just couldn’t catch a break. And Sketch Romney, we need many more Republicans like you.
@SketchRomneyI’m not American, so my opinion is irrelevant. But voices like yours need to be louder. Financial responsibility isn’t a liberal/conservative or left/right wing.Budgets need to be balanced, growth needs to be encouraged, and realities faced.Without endless rhetoric and childish insults.
@ansonia, the republicans lost because they refused to acknowledge information and facts. your post is a prime example. the FACT is that Every human in this country pays taxes, from the wealthiest to the bum on the street. there are two kinds of taxes, regressive and progressive. every american pays REGRESSIVE taxes such as property taxes (even if they don’t own a home), sales taxes and various user fees. and they are called regressive taxes for a reason.
Poor Ima! Probably lives in a Red part of Ohio (like me), but only associates with people of like mind. And she will never convince others of her ideas, since she only uses invective and Faux News sound bites to bully others to her side.
