Please... Both sides want to make it the central issue of their campaign, so it's not just Liberals. The problem is, Liberals are on the side with that has the most voters. The problem also is, even when some voters may actually believe in what Republicans are supposed to stand for and/or if voters are not happy with Democrats, they still will not vote Republican because they're Black, Hispanic, Gay, Nonreligious, pro choice, poor, etc...Either way, they need to start focusing on fiscal issues and leave the rest of the BS alone.

McCain wasn't as rich. He lost the same exact states Romney lost. It is NOT the nominee that is causing this.

if that's the case why Republicans control congress and have the majority of governorships and state legislatures?........that don't count?......blacks, hispanics and gays don't vote at the state level? LOL


make up your mind, if the Republicans are being rejected why to they control other branches of government?


Presidential elections is a beauty contest, people vote for the most likeable person and who they like to have a beer.....State governors and state legislatures get more things done than a President that in my opinion is just a figure head.

Congressional elections have been gerrymandered..for decades by the party in power.

Governors, LOL, you fail to notice run most often as purely fiscal, not Social conservs. That avoids the gender gap. State reps also run mainly as fiscal conservs. People want cost control and low taxes, but they do NOT want social control by politicians.

Now if the mainstream GOP regains control of the asylum from the TP lunes, the POTUS nominees will also avoid the plague of Social Conservatism. It elects Democrats for POTUS, better than David Axelrod ever could!

PS, READ the Thread Topic. It says WHITE HOUSE! Stay ON topic.

As the more pro choice vs Kennedy, he wasn't just Pro Choice..he was radically Pro Choice..allowing for virtually no exceptions. I lived one state away than.it was a fascinating campaign to watch.

Reagan was never radical in either case. He spent no political capital seeking an overturn of Roe v Wade.just talked the talk, knowing the ignorant in the party would not hold him accountable for that.

when did Romney campaign for no exception for abortion?.....when did Romney campaign to overturn ROE vs Wade?


keep drinking the left kool aid.......Rommney's position on abortion is no different than W BUSH, his father Nixon and Reagan.
