The Republicans are in a bad place
By Carter Eskew
We can't all be popular with everyone, but the Republican brand is on the verge of being popular with no one. A recent Wall Street Journal-NBC poll found that when people were asked to use a word or phrase to describe today's Republican Party, 65 percent of responses were negative and just 17 percent positive. Democrats were split at 35 percent positive, 37 percent negative.
If the Republican brand were a businesses that sold things, it would soon be out of business, unless, of course, it was a monopoly like an oil company. This simple poll result suggests the Republicans' problem is much more profound than revealed in the post-mortems of the recent election. Where might Republicans look for a more thorough diagnosis and course of treatment?
The answer comes from an unlikely source: President Obama's campaign pollster, Joel Benenson. Yesterday, he delivered by far the best analysis of the current state of the Republicans Party, and it rings devastatingly and comprehensively true: Republicans have a "tolerance" problem. Whether on gay rights, immigration, global warming or women's health issues, Republicans have sent repeated and off-putting messages. Benenson's is a unified theory of the problem, and he suggested, correctly, that it won't be solved piecemeal.
----------
The GOP lost because people don't vote for mean-spirited dicks.
And since their drubbing last month, what has the GOP done?
They've doubled down on being mean-spirited dicks.
They recently spit in the face of disabled people by voting against measures that would make it easier for the disabled to live all around the world.
This week they screwed over working class Americans by making it harder for them to earn a decent living.
And their main plan to balance the budget seems to be denying affordable healthcare to the poor and disabled.
I say - keep it up wingnuts. You're just ensuring a permanent Democratic majority in this country. LOL!

Sixty-five percent of Americans say the Nov. 6 results gave Obama a “mandate” on his proposal to raise tax rates on income over $250,000 and “to get it done.” Forty-five percent of Republicans agree.
The election “was basically a referendum that wealthy people could and would pay more,” said poll respondent Jim Johnson, 66, of Littleton, Colorado, a retired telecommunications executive and a Republican who voted for Mitt Romney.“It was perfectly clear. That was Obama’s stance throughout the election.” Poll respondent Gerald Watts, 75, of Lake Quivira, Kansas, a retired engineer and another Republican who voted for Romney, read the election results the same way. “Every time we listened to him on TV, he’d start talking about raising taxes on the rich—every news conference, every time he went up in front of a group,” said Watts.“He didn’t want to talk about anything else.” ---------- Obama is trying to do what we elected him to do. Why is the GOP standing in they way of the will of the voters? Why are they giving the finger to the American people? Do they WANT to be a permanent minority party? |

So now you're self employed? What happened to the restaurant.....unless it's an online restaurant! LOL!! What happened to your office co workers that love it when you win the arguements? What happened to your job as a counselor? And what about all those apartments that you own? You sure go thru the jobs. Could it be that in reality you don't have a job? You 're actually supported by the American taxpayer? One reason you love Obama so much? You can continue to live on taxpayer handouts. That actually makes more sense. I honestly don't see how you could do quality self employed work on the computer while you are preoccupied with topix. I certainly wouldn't hire someone that goes to topix between tasks. There seems to be more "breaks" then actual "tasks". Again...it's all bull. Unlike you, I don't keep files on posters, so I have no desire and better things to do then go searching for your restaurant job, etc. Those that have been around long enough know what I am saying is the truth. And that you are full of it. |

LOL! You're one very confused little dipshit. Are you still drinking, because your memory has clearly been damaged. Or is this more of your flawless intuition? LMAO!
|

OH!! Still getting that "thrill" up your leg, I see.. Guess what? The election is over. I think it's funny how you changed the subject and had to pull up "old files" on me. You're neglecting your clients now aren't you? Or do you have an EXTRA LONG break? In other words...... wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, said the cry baby! |
|
To the point.........He's a typical lazy, unemployed hands out liberal! |

More Dan the man files! Spooky! |

Football is not on for 12 months. So how do you explain the rest of your 24/7 topix obsession? Basketball? |

1 Yes, the election is over and YOU WERE WRONG! Completely, thoroughly, BLINDINGLY wrong! LMAO! But the only reason I bring that up is because you are ALWAYS wrong, which you proved - AGAIN - with your dumbass post about what I do for a living. So just like you were so utterly wrong about the election, you are utterly wrong about everything. You are always wrong because you are one of the stupidest people ever born. |

1 Only a flaming nitwit would think that Google searches are "spooky." Jesus you're a dumbass. |

Whatever sport people watch - football, baseball, NASCAR, golf, tennis, whatever. The particular sport isn't the point, is it nitwit? Everybody has hobbies. Mine is exploding rightwing lies and embarrassing dipshit jackasses such as yourself on Topix. I find it entertaining and relaxing. What do you do to relax? I mean besides crawling inside a bottle. LOL! |

Good one!! |

What a lame post. |
Sounds like someone is losing it.... you can always tell by the name calling and losing of their temper. N ot too cool, Dan the man. You are coming off as very emotional and histrionic. You must have more relaxing and entertaining time then you do "task"time. I don't know why you have to lie about the fact that you are supported by taxpayers. We all know you don't work. Poor Dan the man,just can't admit he does not support himself. |

Marisa you classless twit; please remind us again how Nate Silver, the VOTE From ABROAD map, and that damn Liberal media with their left leaning polls are all wrong and how Mittens is going to be elected president. Your such a pathetic gash. |

Go to wikipedia and look up Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Sounds like they are discribing you. POOR DAN THE MAN. The only person that loves DTM is DTM. |
