If you listen to right wing talk, not recommended, you will hear a mass of excuses all in denial of what actually happened.

Republican media - Fox and Friends say the following are the reasons.
1. People want free stuff - Things like social security how dare those old people.
2. Hurricane Sandy - I guess God wanted them to lose
3. Obama had a better campaign
4. The media was in the tank for Obama - that is ironic coming from faux news
5. They needed a hispanic on the ticket - yeah because hispanics only vote for hispanics
6. My favorite - Mitt was not conservative enough

They can't face the real reasons.

Their policies are not popular.
1. Privatizing social security - not popular
2. Medicare vouchers - not popular
3. Trickle down economics - Nobody bought the job creator crap
4. Govt. intruding on women's choice over their own body.
5. No plan for health care for the middle class.

This is why they lost, but they will never admit it.

How about the stock market took a giant s*** today.

How about Mayor Bloomberg won't sent in the National Guard with weapons to keep thugs at bay who are looting, robbing, breaking and entering...... and running wild in the streets.

More to come..........

I can't wait!

What's funny is that ALL of those "real reasons" you posted are due exclusively to the Democrats lies and distortions. None of those things are actually true.

The democrats have a fantastic marketing machine, though. We saw just how good it's become in the 2008 campaign, and they steamrolled right through the 2012 campaign. Tell a lie often enough and with enough flair, and you can get anyone to believe anything. Yesterday is undeniable proof.

This doesn't take a PhD in political science to figure out. Unemployment has been hovering close to 10% for months. Even those with jobs have seen their wages plummet and benefits disappear.

And as their candidate, Republicans nominated a guy who has never done a hard day's work in his life, keeps millions in foreign bank accounts, and thinks the best way to help out American workers is to give the rich more tax breaks.

You can accept defeat, or you can earn it. The Republicans earned it this time.

More proof of just how good that Democrat marketing machine is. Damn, they're good.

That would be due to the unforseen issue of gridlock in Congress. Most of the world wanted Obama to win, so the stock market isn't crashing because of him.

WTF are you talking about? Who the hell thought that the balance of power in congress would change? Nobody, that's who. Sheesh!

I hate to use the same acronym twice in a post, but WTF does "most of the world" have to do with the DJIA?

I suggest you look into why people invest in stocks, and why they sell their stocks. Clearly, your participation in this system doesn't go any further than picking the mutual funds with cool names in your 401k.

No, they're not.
State Trends for 2011 on Abortion, Family Planning, Sex Education and Insurance
Laws Affecting Reproductive Health and Rights:
Trends in the First Quarter of 2011

To date, legislators have introduced 916 measures related to reproductive health and rights in the 49 legislatures that have convened their regular sessions. (Louisiana’s legislature will not convene until late April.) By the end of March, seven states had enacted 15 new laws on these issues, including provisions that:


Legitimate rape?
Women don't get pregnant from being raped?

I read and I know my issues.
Your party made me (and dozens of women that I know) into one issue voters.
See, the woman's body has a way to shut that whole thing down (the R party).
