Romney's disdain for 47% of the population fully unfurled his yachtsman's banner. His (joking?) remark about liking to fire people who work for him and (sincere?) insistence that "corporations are people, my friend," didn't help him, either. Nobody likes a smartass.

Well, the Republicans are a divided party they have the T'Bagger Nut Jobs and the Libertarian Nut Jobs, then there are the rest who these Nut Jobs all call RINO's so they can't win a National election they are still only relevant where they have been allowed to Gerrymander in their favor. Bush and his crime syndicate put them on the fast track to irrelevancy and I look forward to the day when there is no more Republican Party. That will be good news for America.

Republican Party thinking they can beat the Democrats by imitating them. How many times was I told that I must vote for Tweedle- Dumb, to prevent the reelection of Tweedle-Dumber? I cannot count them. They think they motivate conservatives with a candidate "not quite as" liberal. Dole. McCain. Romney. You'd think they would learn.

I didn't vote for him the first time. I was convinced that he genuinely cared about the American People, and that he was a moderate insofar as gun control went. Barely one month after the election, after the horrible tragedy of Sandy Hook Elementary, in Newtown, CT, independent voters like me, who were persuaded by the Obama Machine to vote for him, realized the horrible truth: He was just waiting for a second term, and an excuse to try to manipulate America into ceding even more Constitutional Rights. I think also as an honorably-discharged, 100% disabled US Army veteran, who's been working since the age of 15, even while going to school, I was deeply offended ...

Speedieg

v Demographics

The fact is independents and moderates don't feel the Republican Party is a possible choice. They are far too caught up in extremeist positions on immigration, gay rights, and women's rights. They claim to be for smaller government but then put all these policy mandates forward to restrict rights. Let me give an example. A winning strategy is we don't support Gay Marriage but we will support full civil unions with the exact same federal benefits and force states to accept it. Instead they support banning any possibility of equality through a constitutional amendment banning any recognition at all. Romney even said that he did not support allowing the partners of Gay an...

Intelligent voters know the mess that the President inherited, and saw real progress over the last 3 1/2 years. They also didn't like Romney boasting about his business sense when all he did was plunder and destroy.

Too many people want free handouts from the government. Free is not free somebody pays for it. Those evil rich may have to sacrifice a vacation home or one less sports car but us regular folks will sacrifice with higher taxes no jobs inflation and poverty. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/how-many-businesses-have-announced-closings-or-lay-offs-since-obama-won-a-second-term/

Despite Limbaugh's denial it is the changing face of America that beat Romney. White population is decreasing and latino population is increasing. Even with fewer blacks voting this time than in '08 Obama still managed to wipe floor with Republicans. It is demographics and change will continue to take place. Some need to get use to it and move along.

Romney showed America that he was a fool becuase of his gaffes and constant flip-flopping. His 47% gaffe sealed his fate. He basically flipped off half of America with that gaffe. His Binders full of women comment showed that he was out of touch with women's issues. No wonder alot of women didn't vote for him. And his flip-flopping. Oh God. Why couldn't he just make up his mind!? Obama is far from perfect,but he's still better then Flip-Floppy Romney.

Quite simple, he has the liberal media and Union support and whatever else the "Chicago" Political Machine could have done... He can't blame Bush now, let's see what he does. We know what he's already done, ie., Obamacare, entitlements for all. Hard working Americans are the losers here, everyone else can just get in line for the dole outs, and the people with jobs will just get taxed to death...That's the plan.

Better to have people THINK your stupid than open your mouth and PROVE IT! 6) GOP, it's the 21st century. By all that is holy, get off your 19th century platforms and join the rest of USa

The American people have not forgotten that George W Bush is responsible for our sagging economy. He started to very unpopular wars that has cost us billions of dollars and thousands of American lives. All for what? George W Bush went to war to kill Saddam Hussein and to humiliate is country just because Hussein allegedly tried to kill a daddy. That's all.
