    I guess it's easier to win if you tell everyone what they want to hear and deliver on next to none of them. Obama lied his way through.

    Typical that brain dead MaO'Bama voters would fixate on the obvious truth while not seeing the truth of it, while ignoring the greater depth (that they can not fathom) of the rest of the article. Have I ever mentioned that progressive leftists are stupid?

    No one was more surprised on election night as hisloserness Chairman MaO'Bama that he won re-election.

    Good article....that can be summed up in far fewer words;

    The moral cohesiveness that once bound us.....self reliance, self respect, and individual pride of accomplishment....
    has, under the auspices of "the common good", "fairness" and "social justice", finally succumbed to the half century of nurtured divisiveness, bitterness, victimhood, and covetous greed for the free lunch.

    Bondage to the state to follow.

    Self reliance has been replaced by dependency, self respect has been replaced by group think and conformity, individual pride of accomplishment moralistic irrelavence and guilt being great. Our greatest generation gave birth to our worst. Saddest decline in history.

    Too bad our so-called "conservatives" show so little of these traits.

    If thye did, maybe they would at least get some respect.

    As it is, NONE of those traits rarely show up in the Right, and it makes their message into a hypocritical joke.

    :lol:

    Keep telling yourselves this garbage!

    LOTS more people than the "47%" who don't currently pay taxes voted for Obama since much of the 47% didn't vote, but the elderly people aren't going to vote for someone to end the Social Security they paid for, aren't dumb enough to be going to vote to turn Medicare into a worthless coupon program and so much more, while giving the wealthy who only pay 1% in taxes a FURTHER tax reduction! Even if those elderly WERE Republican or conservative.

    Your Koolaid propaganda is just not strong enough.

    Propaganda laden bovine scat and an complete unknowledgable statement about the republican position. Disgraceful.

    Most people vote in their own best interest. When one side continues to give away the treasury to buy votes, more people will continue to vote in their own best interest. The OP in on the money in this regard.

    Let's see what seniors do next election, when they're feeling the full effect of Medicare being gashed by 800 billion so a bunch of pot-smoking losers and illegal immigrants can have healthcare.

    Let's see what happens when the pot-smoking losers will have to pay a fine unless the BUY Obamacare.

    The low information Obama-voting pleebs are in for a rude awakening, and I personally can't wait. Hopefully you all take to the streets again like OWS, and snort and rape each other to death.

    Yet, according to progressive "economists", austerity measures are "unnecessary and harmful".....suggesting such is voluntary...
    further suggesting progressive "economics" exists in the magical thinking world of endless, consequence free spending on the credit card.

    Unlike what the Liberals think, you have to pay it back some day. Of course most of them don't care because they don't pay taxes anyway and care less if their kids and grand kids have to pay it back. Their concern is for the illegals. and the votes they can get from them is much more than the concern for their fellow out of work Americans.. The can do attitude of the past has turned into I don't want to do. You do it for me.

    You're so conditioned by a progressive administered "education" system, global economic collectivism seems perfectly normal.

    This is absolute BS based upon the election. Virtually no African-Americans and 75% of Latinos voted against Romney for one simple reason. The Republican party represents racial prejudice as a recent study prior to the election reflected. In that study 78% of Republican respondants expressed explicit racial prejudice.

    http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2012/10/27/poll-black-prejudice-america/1662067/

    Women also had a hard time voting for Romney because Republicans are anti-women in their opposition to the Rights of Women to obtain an abortion. Very few Americans (29%) want to see Roe v Wade overturned.

    http://www.gallup.com/poll/160058/majority-americans-support-roe-wade-decision.aspx

    Romney opposed the ACA (Obamacare) and based upon the Paul Ryan budget advocated gutting Social Security and Medicare which are all programs that Americans support based upon a recent poll.

    http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2011/03/02/wsjnbc-poll-hands-off-medicare-social-security/
    http://medicarewire.com/blog/new-khn-poll-shows-americans-support-aca-and-medicare-expansion/

    Mitt Romney is not a "conservative" but instead is a "social-conservative" and the two have virtually nothing in common. A "conservative" is a "classic liberal" that advocates civil liberties and political freedom, limited government, rule of law, and belief in free markets. Romney, in his opposition to same-sex marriage based upon his religious beliefs endorses the violations of the civil Rights of gays and lesbians. Romney supports large government with his endorsement of a US military budget of close to one trillion dollars used to engage in wars of US imperialism in spreading pax-Americana. Romney is not a "constitutionalist" and opposes free market capitalism by opposing an open immigration policy for the US. Romney supports unfair taxation where investors, that dispite Republican rhetoric, don't create jobs or wealth in America with the Capital Gains tax loophole (where he made most of his money). Mitt Romney and the Republican Party do not represent "conservative" political philosophies.

    President Obama isn't much better but Obama was the lesser of two evils so Obama won the election. It wasn't because either was stellar but instead it was because both major political Parties tend to go out of their way to nominate crappy politicians for President. The Republican Party just manages to be better at selecting the worst candidate to run.

    Do you have a source to support the claim that most liberals don't pay taxes?
