Bubba never did get back to us here, did he?

Of course Bubba you are aware that the Affordable Helath Care Act has not been fully implemented. In fact the Act will not be fully implemented until 2019:

You make the rather bold assertion based apparently on your own opinion that the “values of the majority have lowered to new depths”. What you offer in support of that is again, your own opinion, no facts.

I have no clue what you mean by “never more will conservatism be the appropriate party line”. Appropriate to whom, to what?

Your dismissive attitude towards Blacks, Latinos and Women seems to be the attitude that lost your candidate the election. The largest single voting block in the United States Bubba is women. There are more women than men in the U.S, and they vote at higher rates than men. Women accounted for 53% of all voters. Why you feel it is unimportant or not noteworthy to win this vote I have no idea but the Republicans did.

10% of all voters this year were Latino compared to 8% in ’08. I’m not sure how or why Republicans either did not want to appeal to this increasing block but by their own admission they did:

You finish with a bunch of tea party line talking points, again without any substantiation, that tell me you are again working under the delusion that big money and big fat white men determine election outcomes. If you and your party keep thinking that my friend future elections will not be any better for you. The Republican party needs to look at this country and adjust. I’m not talking just adjust campaigning tactics (though that surely would help), but I mean changes to policies that are inclusive and not exclusive.

Guess what, Al, blacks, “latios”, and women get to vote too. The GOP had better wake up to that reality if they want the party to be extant in 10 years.

We learned that the moral values of the majority have lowered to new depths. We learned that the success of a party…any party…will be tied to having candidates that are 1. Black, 2. Latio, or 3. Women. We learned that in spite of ObamaCare, Blacks and Latino’s are still calling for improvements in their healthcare…WHAT! We learnd that never more will conservativism be the appropriate party line. We have learned that the creation of more poverty strengthen the success of the libs. We have confirmation of a more selfish society than at any time in history. We learned that personal responsibility has all but disappeared and has been replaced by gimme gimme gimme. We WILL learn that the only salvation to preserve our system will be a financial and social crisis unlike any ever seen in the last 500 years. We learned that class warefare DOES work as a political approach to running for office. And a few more but I gotta go and will save the best for later.
