Damn right. Abortion and the "homosexual agenda" are really their only genuine, emotion-driven single-issue rallying points. All the bullshit, about soshalisms and deficits and death panels and military spending and what all, is really just verbal fluff that translates to "The President is a Democrat (and, in this case, also not 100% white)". Even shit like creationism and school prayer don't engage the emotions of the RWNJs like abortion and gheyness.
"...for every American who today celebrates Obama's victory, another is left disappointed in Mitt Romney's loss." Not exactly, Rick - this is sort of why Romney lost. Math really IS hard for you people.
Shouldn't Rick be waist-high in "see I told you so" regarding how terrible candidate Romney was, instead of trying to rationalize his loss?
I think they're going to invoke the loophole that kept Pat Buchanan from ascending to that position and start from scratch like they did in 2000.

Well, if the Republicans decide to keep shooting themselves in the foot, or balls, or whatever, and move further right, since obviously THAT&#039;S why they lost the election, he can run again in 2016, be nominated, and ensure a Democratic victory. Keep up the good work, Ricky!

Let the Santorum Fly!!!!
Oh, wait....
Well, right now it makes kind of a nice accompaniment to Schadenfreude.
Is this like a fantasy politics league?
Oh, Republicans. Nevermind.

I see TV ads selling adult diapers in Santorum&#039;s future.

Michael Feldman just now: &quot;A lot of Republican soul-searching; so far, nothing.&quot;

Fun factoid for Republicans thinking about Marco Rubio: Mitt did not carry Miami-Dade Cuban voters.
