Those kinds of things will destroy the Republican party, which is already almost backed off a cliff. The Republican party needs to push back, but in order to do so it needs to be charitable and appealing. Saying everyone who voted for Obama is an idiot will not help it to be appealing.

Taking political positions that are against the wishes and interest of a majority of voters typically results in lost elections. Republicans cost themselves two Senate seats alone with their comments on rape, and may well have lost the Presidency based on Mitt Romney inability to speak without contradiction.

Ultimately, the obsession with social issues, however well intentioned, has cost Republicans several races in several elections now. Whatever your actual meaning or intent, you can't go around talking about pregancies from rape ultimately being the will of the Lord. If you go there, it will be spun to the point that you will lose. If you talk about small and responsible national governments out of one side of your mouth, while attempting to legislate matters personal and private out of the other, you'll lose every time on the basis of hypocrisy.

Also, resulting to name-calling and hyperbole when put on the defensive isn't doing anyone any favors. America is a democracy, where the will of all the people are considered, however well or poorly informed. Calling people "stupid" just because they didn't vote the way you felt they should will almost always lead to the view that the one doing the name-calling is to be considered with less seriousness.

Sorry my friend, but if there was an "obsession with social issues," it certainly wasn't on the part of the Republicans (abortion was certainly not a focus of the Romney campaign, and he was for "gay marriage," remember?)
It was Obama and the Left that made abortion, "free" contraceptives, and this absolutely asinine and absurd "war on women" nonsense a central part of their campaign.
As well as for deliberately distorting and obsessively harping on the ill-worded comments of two senatorial candidates. (The Republicans will run around raping women, and send us all the way back to the Dark Ages of Oppression before Obama's HHS mandate!!)

Reading the comments by many "conservatives" on NRO today, I was absolutely sickened by all the garbage placing all the blame on so-called "social conservatives" (you know, those of us who actually believe in moral principles such as the right to life) for the GOP's election failures, and insisting that the party needs to get with the times and drop any moral principles in order to win (as if officially adopting a "pro-choice" stance would have granted a Romney victory).
Sorry, but if the Republicans decide to compromise any further on the "social issues," they've lost me (and it appears they've already lost many on here on elsewhere with their half-arsed and less-than-convincing "pro-life" stances).
But we musn't legislate on such "personal and private" matters as the right of unborn children to live!

And sorry, but if a majority of the voting public really did -- in the face of an ongoing lousy economy, widespread unemployment, a crushing national debt and looming fiscal cliff, and countless other serious issues facing our country-- vote for four more years of Dear Leader on the basis of abortion and free condoms, then they get exactly the sort of dismal third-world banana republic dictatorship "leadership" they deserve.
The problem is the rest of us have to suffer from it too.

But let's not call them mean names like "stupid." No, let's focus all our wrath and outrage, not on the Party of Death, and those promoting and voting for abortion and free contraception forced by government mandate, but on those awful, horrible "social conservatives" who dare even mention such things as the right to life.

Sorry, but "stupid" is the absolute most kind and charitable way to describe such people.

I am fully aware of what the Church teaches.

I just disagree with it.

And you wonder why you have a "Phishy" tag on here.

They weren't just ill-worded, they were stupid and disgusting to the core.

Speaking as an Australian leftist, here's my advice for the Republicans. Keep your stance on your social issues, since you feel so strongly about it. But you [i]have[/i] to bend concerning illegal immigration. 'Self deportation' will not get you any votes.

Socrates, didn't your co-star Roseanne Barr run for president?

I think the concerns that we are headed into communism or a dark age of persecution are a bit over-dramatic. Politics are cyclical - remember when the Tea Party was swept to power in 2010? Two short years ago. No, I don't think this election implies anything about the American electorate.

Except it does imply that they didn't like Mitt Romney - he wasn't a very good candidate. And it underscores that the electorate is increasingly non-white, and for some reason the GOP has a horrible time with the Latino vote. They are culturally a natural fit (family-oriented, religious, hard working etc). But the GOP is stuck in the Sheriff Joe, seal-the-border stuff. This is where they need to revamp the platform. That ship has sailed.
