President Obama just kicked Romney's arse.
What is clearly evident is that the GOP is an ignorant, backwards political organization which has no place in modern times. Their negative narrative, completely misguided, has cursed this country for too long. All the negative ads and obstructionist tactics, while contributing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to the healthy progression of this country, renders them absolutely worthless as a political party. They cursed us with 8 horrific years of Bush, followed by 4 horrific years of a tea party-downgraded Republican party which gave us the "Congress from Hell." They then offend our senses by offering up the supreme stench of Romney/Ryan, and a flood of lying, negative ads. They are a repulsive organization, a cancer on this society. I'm focused on 2012 and what President Obama's annihilation of the GOP says about where we are today. It says that this country is anti-Conservative, anti-bigot, anti-Klan, anti-Bush, anti-trickle-down, and anti-GOP. It is a rejection of the misguided notion that giving the rich more benefits everyone.
The GOP cannot progress forward unless they take on the preferred characteristics of the Democratic Party. Their ideology is one defined by the most vile and ignorant mindset in history: that of the BIGOT. They are the modern day Confederacy, the party of the most ignorant portion of the South.
The "unearned privilege" is what they thrive to cling to, designed to exclude others from equal participation. I don't think they can change because their minds are a nimble as a slab of stone. This means that they won't be a factor in 2016, and by implication 2024.
Enjoy President Obama's second term.
