You are asking yourselves, why isn't Romney winning? The economy sucks, unemployment over 8%? This should be a gimme...right? Romney cant seem to get that magic bump. WHY?
Could it be your message?
Could it be the person delivering the message?
Do you want to know why Romney is not winning? WE GOT THE MESSAGE. We got the message and we are rejecting it.
NO.

Yes, it really WAS that simple, and it still IS that simple. Welcome to feudal europe V2.0. This time all the indentured serfs are actually voting to keep the feudal system in place. The power of the spin is amazing, isn't it?

(1,947 posts)But don't throw out your message, come back with it next election.
You see, we really do want to live out our lives impoverished, making slave wages, so that the 1% can have a little more. We really don't want health care, retirement, education, or a place to live. We really want breathe polluted air, and consume toxins in our food and water. In short, we are really stupid. Please, please don't forget that. Don't throw out the baby with the bath water. Next time just choose someone a little more likable, someone who oozes compassion, someone who has won the Idi Amin Milk of Human Kindness Award, a young fresh face like Mitch McConnell (sarcasm).

(812 posts)American Government is based on being a two party system.
It is sad to see one side failing,like a spouse succumbing to any of the various forms of dependency.
I believe greed and hatred to be addictive forms of lifestyles.
But to return to the point,it is never a case of just one spouse failing,the whole family suffers.
So too,is our nation suffering.
Until we can get everyone pulling together with shared priorities for the good of the country and not just the party,then we as a nation are bound to fail.
Aside from tax cuts,what is their message?.
Their message is NO,none for you and all for me.
What we need is an intervention,a big old nasty,tear stained,gut check where reality and its ugliness must intrude.
You raise a very important question that each of us will have to answer for at the voting booth.
Happily,they make it easy.

Never, ever, ever assume that the Rethugs are done for.

(5,954 posts)American voters are FINALLY seeing THROUGH all the bullshit spin about 'compassionate conservatism,' 'trickle-down economics,' 'reverse discrimination,' 'the soft prejudice of low expectations,' and 'culture of dependence,' and see it for what it is: the same old mean-spirited, callous, racism and greed that we've seen all through history, suddenly dressed up with pretty new catch phrases.
Sorry guys, but there is a limit to the number of times you can cover a dog turd with chocolate sauce and trick the American voters into EATING it, and you've REACHED it.
