The real issue

I feel shame having stood up for this once great nation, it's like my 4 years of service went to protecting people's rights to take and not give back. I guess we learned the true, ignorant nature of Americans- They put abortion, gay rights, women (????) and entitlements before fixing the economy and securing our future (not to mention taking a harder line on foreign policy).

What do you expect, the sheep are doing what they've been trained to do.

Unfortunately for the sheep, they were trained by the wolves.

If the GOP continues to have those three items be their most prominent talking points, they won't win any more elections.

I voted for Romney, not because I liked him but because I'm not a fan of his opponent. However, if Republicans keep obsessing about what people do in their private lives, the GOP is done and no amount of Koch/Adelson money will win them an election.

Simply getting the white male vote will never again win an election in this country, the demographics have changed.

I agree... the GOP needs to stop pandering to the far right who believes that you can legislate morals, stop taking a stance on abortion and gay rights, focus on fiscal, and foreign policy issues!

We have forsaken our future to our greed. This marks the end of an empire and a way of life.
