- Megan McCain said something to the effect that the GOP lost because too many are using the word "RINO" to describe people like herself, I presume. It is a funny way of rationalizing a loss. Punish the guy who is more like you (Romney) than those who are using that word.
- I don't generally listen to a local talk show ( The Michael Berry Show), but I did yesterday. He had a couple black guys call [this is the part of the show I heard. I didn't hear it all]. One seemed to be telling Berry to shut up. The other just seemed to be angry. Got that? The black guy was angry and his side WON. Go figure.
- Ann Barnhardt is ready for Civil War Redux.
- Limbaugh says we've lost the country.
- Boehner is ready to consider revenue increases. ( Oh brother)
Supposedly the economy was the big issue in this campaign. Yet they couldn't beat a guy who couldn't generate net job growth over the last 4 years. You have to really try to lose in order to lose to something like that.
Obama supposedly had an edge on foreign policy, yet it may have been a weakness that they couldn't or wouldn't exploit. The media's silence on Benghazi was a huge tell of an immense weakness. If it weren't so, they wouldn't have cared enough to suppress it.
This outcome may not have anything to do with job performance. It has nothing to do with justice, or morality. It had nothing to do with patriotism. Yet they all act like it does. Clearly, it doesn't. Just look at the results.
I think it means that the Democrats have managed to come up with a strategy for which the GOP has no answer. They grow constituencies. The GOP's is shrinking. It is pure power. Nothing more, nothing less.
Steve Deace had one observation that coincides with what I've been getting at here with this blog. Sell solutions, not values. People will be loyal to who's writing their paycheck. The Democrats have hijacked the government and are using it to provide paychecks to people who will vote for that.
The rest of the people are going to get clobbered by these Democrats. If you can find a solution for that, you may be able to beat them. Until that time, the losses will continue to mount.
