billvon 3,098 #78 November 9, 2012 > By your logic, Democrats that lean right should win. One did. It was a little surreal watching Obama implement deep Medicare cuts and then see Romney promise to restore the spending. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #80 November 9, 2012 QuoteMore than 3 million more Republicans voted for McCain than voted for Romney. IMO this is because Romney was viewed as too liberal. The lesson to be learned is the Republicans need to select more conservative candidates and stop trying to push moderates on their constituents. If you think I am suggesting that the GOP become more progressive, you are sorely mistaken. I don't expect you to know who this man Jason Kenney is, though if you did spend sometime to educate yourself on his accomplishments, he has done a lot of things many can learn from. Mr Kenney didn't go into the ethnic communities and promise them more entitlement spending. No that's what progressives do. Mr Kenney went into these communities and explained to them how his views and their views were not all that dissimilar. So when the election came and the Liberal media ramped up their usual anti-conservative rhetoric, many (not all) of these people ignored the media BS and voted for the conservatives and they won a hard fought majority government. The CPC is not perfect, no government will ever be perfect. But in a troubled and uncertain world, Canada is weathering the storm quite well. Oh and what is Mr Kenney doing these days? He is off scouring the world looking for highly skilled people who might want to emigrate here. Western Canada needs workers, we need highly skilled workers badly. We have hundreds of thousands of high paying jobs that are unfilled. So remember this is not about becoming more progressive. It is about reaching out to the new demographic in North American society and explaining to them your vision and trying to bridge the gap. There a lot more similarities than differences and many of these ethnic folks are smart and incredibly motivated hard workers. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gravitymaster 0 #81 November 9, 2012 If you read my posts, you will see that I mostly agree with you. The GOP needs to articulate their vision more clearly. They needd to speak to hispanics and remind them of how similar are values are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 2,138 #88 November 9, 2012 Quote He had it all wrapped up until he went to the center the last few weeks. Complete nonsense. Winning an election requires more than just getting Republican votes. The number of registered Republicans is insufficient to win even if they all vote. Every single poll showed Romney increasing his share after his move way from the extreme position he took for the primaries and moved to the center. But please continue to push your position, it will guarantee that no Republican gets elected president.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

As he moved closer to the center by making statements such as wanting to keep parts of Obamacare, his numbers began to drop. 3 million Republicans who voted for McCain DID NOT vote for Romney. All we have to do at this point is just give Obama enough rope to hang himself. Once people begin to feel the pain of government cuts in their cheese, they will begin to take more responsibility for themselves and vote for the only viable alternative.

SkyDekker 1,465 #90 November 9, 2012 QuoteThey spent money on a cause that the money was given for. I know this is a difficult concept for many. Taxes are general revenue and to be spent as government sees fit. Hence electing people, who according to you have spent billions on a race they could not win, would not be overly smart.

SkyDekker 1,465 #91 November 9, 2012 QuoteNo, I haven't. I don't think anybody is saying that Sandy knocked out ten percent of the Democratic vote. 9 or 10 million voters? Nor am I. However a 15% reduction in voter turnout in the North East is going to effect the Democrats more than the Republicans. Hence, the total counts you are providing are skewed and the real difference likely not as extreme as you are portraying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
