Obama got more votes than any other person running for President EVER...yet Republicans went in the exact opposite direction and said the reason they were beaten so badly was because they weren't being absolutely fucking nuts, so they decided to do so.. It appeared to work for them politically anyway....If they are wholloped again I don't know what they will do.. 2nd amendment remedies I guess.
