Not really, if McCain had had the enthusiastic support of Republicans across the board in 08, he would have won. Many voters sat that one out because they could not get behind McCain. This time around is going to be a different story.

The bigots, racists, anti-immigration and anti-gay evangelicals are in the bag for the GOP this year.

Can't provide support to Romney without mentioning Obama. Your deflection proves my point.

Yeah, so many that they've worked to get rid of DADT, won't defend DOMA and allowed 800,000 young illegals to gain access to education and employment. Sounds like a bunch of bigots to me. You and I both know none of that would've happened under the GOP. You guys are pratically giddy over discriminatioin.

What a joke of an article. Romney doesn't have the capacity to enthuse anyone except the romneybots.

No deflection, what's wrong, when your claim
Quote:
that Republicans always brainwash themselves
is PROVEN wrong, you react with a deflection statment.

Prove republicans are brainwashed, with something besides your own "I said so" comment and I will denoucne what I put up, until then it stays...

Most of the primary voters didn't even vote for Romney. Yet the "wave of enthusiam" has them suddenly acting like he's the greatest thing since Swiss cheese.

If that's not self-brainwashing, I don't know what to call it.
