What's not being reported: This is becoming a disaster for the GOP on multiple levels
by MinistryOfTruth


Last night every GOP fear about a Mitt Romney presidential candidacy came true. He couldn't stand up to Obama at all. There's only two weeks left to go. If this race is as close as the media keeps telling us than last night was a tremendous disaster for Republicans. Since the first debate Romney has failed to make the case for Conservativism. Instead Romney has adopted the debate strategy of being a moderate democrat who appears on Fox News, and that strategy didn't work.

Proof, from last night.

The sum of all wingnut fears

Romney ceded Obama way too much policy territory, adopting a "Me too" strategy that utterly failed to win over debate viewers, and the few times Mitt tried to interject with Fox News talking points about "apology tours" the President readily smacked those strawmen down. At Fox News utter calamity broke out. Did they address Romney's failures? No. They called Obama a retard instead. This is why Republicans are going to lose. Last night proved that if Obama is paying attention to the debates instead of his day job he can easily mop the floor with Romney, the best guy the GOP had in a very weak field of candidates. What Republicans must be doing is looking at the utter shitstorm coming down on the them if things don't go their way, and it can't look pretty.

This was supposed to be the year the GOP took back the Senate. This was the year Republicans would defeat that overbearing tyrant who is weak overseas Barack Hussein Obama. 22 Democrats have to defend their seats this year to only 10 Republicans. GOP winning the Senate? That ain't happening. Because of bad candidates with unpopular positions Democrats will likely retain control of the Senate if they turn out and vote. Running as ultra-conservatives who parrot Fox News and Right Wing radio is costing the GOP the Senate. Again. Same thing happened in 2010, and it is proving to me that massive money and the right wing propaganda machine along with gerrymandering can deliver the House of Representatives to the GOP on a local level, but on a State level Republicans can no longer win consistently outside of the South and the sparsely populated South West and North West.
