CONGRATULATIONS, MR. PRESIDENT!!
In the final hours of the election, before the first polls closed and votes counted, Republicans continued to insult the president and demean those who vote democrat. Not even wishful thinking and praying from all republicans could get Mitt elected. Republicans had every opportunity to win the election by working with the president rather than against him. All of the economic and jobs bills that came from the president had more republican ideas than democrat ideas, but republicans chose to make it their only effort and job to make President Obama a one-term president.
Mitch McConnell sounded the hatred and anger in his pledge to ruin President Obama's administration through outright partisanship and deny him anything at every turn. Full transparency into how all republicans are to act hostile to the president. Technically, this was treason on the republicans part because they openly abdicated a civil war, expecting citizens to rise up in arms to "take back the country" from overt obstructionism to using "second amendment remedies".
Mitt Romney was supposed to win through the use of voter suppression laws, his billionaire friends and donors, lies, "Citizens United", and rigged voting machines in Ohio. In the case of the voter suppression laws, it seemed to back-fire because those very laws designed to discourage minorities, veterans, and women, also alienated his own republican voter bloc.
However, Mitty-boy did most of the damage to himself by identifying the middle-class as those who earn $250,000 up to one million and alienating those who do not by calling them moochers, only wanting a handout and "not wanting to take personal responsibility to earn a living". Mitt also said "Let Detroit go bankrupt". Mitt angered our allies as well as refuse to show America at least eight years of his tax returns and responded to a crisis prematurely without waiting for the facts. Mitt also showed that he does not know or understand foreign policy and flipped on allowing his record at Bain Capital and his tenure as governor to show what kind of person he is. Instead, he has only showed us how much of a bully he really is from his youth to a spiteful candidate.
The republicans failed in their efforts to block the vote and tried to use race and gender as a definitive factor to divide the electorate. Hopefully, this will be the last we'll see Mitt or any other plutocrat run for office. So, who will it be in 2016? Jeb Bush? Chris Christie? Jon Huntsman? Donald Trump? We shall see in 2015, so get ready for that campaign to get uglier. Republican strategist are already learning from this election and planning their next platform to run on, so be prepared to hear more euphemisms and code talk to influence their base while skewing or dismissing the facts of the matter.
Should the republicans regain the White House, there will be a campaign to bring a "right-to work" law that would give organizations to bust unions and erase pensions and retirement accounts, and take away the rights of workers to have a voice in the law. If they can get that to pass, Civil Rights will be next, just as Rand Paul wanted.
If you can, influence the young on the importance of education, inform the clueless and misinformed, use logic where needed, and keep up with important issues to call out those who lie or "opinionate" actual fact.
Go get'em tiger!
