Seriously, dude, you need to get a grip. Even I'm starting to feel embarrassed for you with these ridiculous posts.
I'm starting to feel embarrassed for you guys as you keep trying to deny what is right in front of you. Read the writing on the wall, this administration is finished.

Why do you keep defending Obama? The loyalists make no sense.

I'm an amateur, and even I knew who would win those three, hours before the West Coast voting places closed. 2012 in particular, I remember telling people "Yeah, they're calling Ohio for Obama, he won", while Karl Rove was panicking on Fox News. And frankly, I stopped worrying when I saw that the GOP's campaign theme was "We built it!", complete with a playing of "We Built this City" by Starship.

C'mon republicans, admit it, the only good speaker there that was covered by the major networks was Connie Rice.

Hey even Hitler had loyalist down to the end, who went down into the bunkers with him to commit suicide when they knew it was over.

Hardliners will vote party line no matter who is running. GWB and Obama are both clear examples of this. Look how hardliners defend Obama every time he is caught lying. Look how hardliners defended Bush..

Except in that same poll, it shows that while Democrats sits at a -2 points favorability rating...the GOP is at -16. Only 29% of people polled hold a positive view of the GOP while the Democrats have a 38% positive.

The Tea Party is at the bottom of the barrel with only 22% of people polled holding a positive view there.

So...if it's over for 'the Democrats as a whole', what does that say about the GOP's chances?

there are no surprises anymore. The Deep South and a few dozen bison in the Plains get the GOP their 200ECs, and the densely populated Blue Wall, and the swing states go to the Dems, giving them the POTUS victory.

The Deep South get the wing nut fringe going, which widens the spread in Blue Wall and swing states, making them easier, bigger Democratic wins every cycle. 2012 was over early enough to make catching Jay Leno possible.

So your failed party is good at winning national elections, but totally incompetent at governing. Good to know.

Here are the facts - Obama is just a continuation of the past. If good old Bush was great enough to remain in office until the end, so is Obama. Another else is just more partisan hypocrisy from the far right, a collective of whiners who still can't accept the fact that their party is unable to produce anything more than bigoted morons as the follow-on to the worst president in history - good old George Dubya Bush.

And, no, Bush is not "the past" because we are still suffering as a nation from the idiotic decisions made by him and his party. Try to stick to the facts and quit pretending that US history began in January, 2009.
I didn't say anything about Obama in my post.

Yet again, you can't address the issues and instead go back to whining about right wingers and Bush.

Calling others partisan hacks who supposedly can't address facts... is that a joke? I won't waste my time with someone who has a serious case of projection.
