Pandering to the religious extremists has destroyed the Republican party. I don't see any way to recover other than getting rid of the nuts.

It's a shame you lack a passion for accuracy or the truth. Obama won both the popular and electoral vote.

Keep pandering to the religious nuts in the Primaries, and you find you can't walk back the crazy-talk. Then you're tagged forever as being a nut, too.

Accept the count isn`t in and the President looks like he`ll take the popular vote as well....

Not that democracy has any meaning to republicans anyway....

Status: offline 		I think in many respects Obama has been given a mandate. Despite a poor economy, which I dont see as his making, he still got elected. The electorate turned their backs on the GOP policies in sufficient numbers to keep the President in office. Romneys flip flopping on several issues didnt go down well enough to get him the votes he needed.

It`s democracy at its finest. In the UK the Conservatives got the same response in 1997 as did New Labour in 2009. lesson being, dont take the electorate for fools.

Obama definitely has a huge mandate to do anything he wants, by the GOP's own standard.

In 2004 W won the popular vote and the EC by far less than Obama did this year but his party felt they had a mandate to privatize Social Secuirty. So by that standard Obama can do pretty much anything he wants.

What's worse...for the Democrats....is, the Republicans get the fact that they have no choice but to focus on taking care of their own and they have only limited years within which to do so.

The Democrats are simply going to wait for the govt. to solve their issues.

Republicans know better, and are working to take care of THEIR issues, because as of Nov 6th, they got tired of trying to help you resolve yours.

Get rid of healthcare reform because they cant afford the extra 14 cents per pizza.

Give themselves tax breaks even though they admit trickle down doesnt work.

Cut medicaid and food stamps, then tell women.. if you get knocked up.. MY daughter can afford a D&C, but you cant have an abortions.

Oh yes, they are definitely taking care of their own.. and have been for a long time.

If that is your contention you have your head buried so far up your ass you will need surgery to extract it!

Just admit that you backed the wrong horse, and go on, it happens...I once voted for Al FREAKING Gore because I disliked W

so much that it almost made me ill. The Republicans as a group have HUGE issues to solve within their ranks, and have no idea

how to get the Whitehouse because they have to have the Michelle Bachman's within their ranks to keep the religious nuts voting!


Maybe the Republicans will have the balls to run Christie next time....now there is a Republican that has something worth backing!

Mitt was simply a seat filler, it was his turn, just like McCain the last time.

Ummmm ... there weren't enough congressional seats in play to give you what your imagination tells you is a "mandate".
However, I sat in on the faculty round table this morning and there was not a soul present who didn't think this was actually a very significant mandate toward the Tea Party. Is it the end? Nope. But if they do not embrace a more bipartisan stance. Next general election won't be pretty at all.

Oh get over yourself...tired of trying?????
LMAO really , thats what you are going for??
They LOST
LARGE
That they will do nothing to "try" anything but obstruction is more than obvious.
Despite all the hope that they will work together with dems.
I dont see it for a minute.
I have zero faith in them.
Christie..may, because well hes a smart dude. I see him getting further, or blown out by his own party.
BTW I agree with Mark...you are dividing repubs and dems by the amount of success they achieve?
how arrogant and ridiculous.
Try feeling better about yourself, because it aint working on the rest of us.
Im back to "work" now, bye
