Thoughts on the Road--- 11/8/12

• Under any possible scenario could Romney have won?- Was this loss inevitable? Obama lost nearly 10 million votes from 2008.  Most likely, those votes were still his for the taking, but he didn't take them.  Evidently, this loss was narrow only because Obama really didn't get his people revved up like the last time.
  
  On the other hand, Romney was supposed to have a bunch of enthusiastic GOP voters ready to crawl over broken glass to vote, yet he failed to match McCain's vote total.
  
  This is indicative of a serious problem.
• The wool is being pulled over our eyes   That's the feeling I get.  Limbaugh talks up Romney like he was the greatest candidate ever, but look at what he failed to accomplish.  Was he really that good?  Are the voters really that dumb? 
• GOP must totally oppose Obama's agenda or die. Harry Reid said he wouldn't have worked with Romney if he had won.  Turnabout is fair play.  Or even if  it isn't fair, since all is fair in love and war.  Politics is war by another name.  The Republicans should oppose the Democrats with everything that they've got.  For this may be the last time that they will be able to do it.  Use it or lose it.  You may lose it anyway, so why play a conservative game?  Play hard, and play to win.
  
  Romney went soft.   Nice guys finish last.
  
  Winning may get you some admirers.  Losing isn't popular.  Strong horse v. weak horse.  Be a strong horse, or forget about it.
  
• Stare down the fiscal cliff without blinking.
  
  We are being told to be afraid of the fiscal cliff.  That's to soften us up for a tax hike.  Don't fall for it.  Just say no to new taxes and make it stick.  Besides that, don't raise the debt ceiling no matter how much the Democrats whine.
  
  
  Republicans should play a very hard game because they have nothing to lose now.  They can't win against this guy, they may never win again.  The Democrats could run Pee Wee Herman and still beat the GOP.  A hard game may get them annihilated, but it also may lead to a victory.
  
  Now isn't the time to start playing it safe.  Romney did that and lost.
  

•  Michael Berry Show today---one caller from Texas A & M spoke about the Latino Voter from Mexico v Latino Voters from Cuba--- Romney won the Cuba votes, but not the Mexican.  Would Rubio have made a difference in Florida and elsewhere?  Or would the differences in the Latino voter not bring about that type of result as some suggested?
  I suggest that the GOP should remember that they are the White Man's Party.  They've been described this way by the Democrats, so why not play it for all its worth?
  
  I'd like to vote Republican.  But if the Republicans are going to act like Democrats, then I'm OUT.
• Amnesty wtf? I know Republicans would like to know how to win again, but if you are going to do that, just remember how well sucking up to blacks and hispanics has done for them in the past.  They'll never get that vote, so why bother trying?  You could try an experiment, if you must.  Get into a bidding war with the Democrats for their vote.  Find someone they can talk to, and try to get their support.
