But Romney was a weak candidate. Nobody actually voted for Romney. They were all just voting against Obama and that's no way to win an election.
Where the Republicans lost big was in the Senate. And that can largely be blamed on the rape comments and not wanting gays to be able to marry.
you people are actually fight for the theory of evolution?
that even the Vatican is taking a "well it might be true but it is compatible with religion" stance?

and as for climate change...well if its not true why one of the biggest company that destroys environment pays huge money to prove it doesn't exist and go as far as to falsify reports from the US congress?
just search coch brothers and you will see...
but then again some of you voted for an agenda promoting rape and discrimination on women.
You know if you think about it rationally popular vote was 50-48. That isn't a big difference. While we, a mostly socially liberal board, will come up with all kinds of reasons rebulicans are bad it's unlikely the leader ship is going to see a huge issue and try to make sweeping adjustments.
Before Romney lost the conservative base was already making up reasons as to why they lost. They will not accept that their rhetoric lost them the race.
Democrats don't think America is the greatest country on earth?
Wow <3 Korra<3 Giants<3
Do you guys think the republican party will admit that they lost based on their ideas being out of touch with the country and change their platform
Half of America didn't even bother to vote and the other half didn't even vote for Obama.
At war for 10 years, young people unemployed, college debt still rising, national debt still rising, running interference campaigns in the middle east, income inequality, schools are a mess, largest military in the world in spending only outdone by spending on social services. Don't make me laugh OP talking about how just "one" party needs to change. The only solutions they can come up with for problems is to throw more money at it and hope it goes away.
That depends on what criteria you're using. It's not the smartest, not the happiest, not the most free, not the healthiest. At some point you have to put down the big foam #1 finger and face the facts, America can't keep coasting on the accomplishments of previous generations. We are not the "greatest" country on earth anymore, not by any of the measurements I have listed.
It will be interesting to see if the GOP evolves over the next couple of years considering the majority of that party doesn't believe in evolution itself.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. -CS Lewis
this is assuming that once the GoP breaks up that more conservative democrats that are mearly put off by the far religious right wont join with a more socially liberal but fiscally economic version of the GoP.
just because 1 party breaks up doesnt mean the other one will still be holding the same people is does currently.
