If you gennuinely think that 50% of your own countrymen need only to be thought of as some kind of evil, and stupid, 'takers' that cannot be reasoned and bargained with, you do not deserve political victory.

And indeed, Romney literally thought this way, and did not deserve political victory, and did not win.

And people like Romney do not deserve to win. It is just sad that Obama was the other candidate.

Where did I say they were evil or stupid?   An individual voting based on how they 'feel' is not necessarily stupid, although one might certainly wonder about that.  They are ignorant at the least, maybe misguided, stupid at worst.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Romney's loss is perhaps the surest proof that he was right.

That war started in the '60s.  Headline: We lost.

Impressed yet befogged, they grasped at his vivid leading phrases, seeing only their surface meaning, and missing the deeper current of his thought.

Well, Romney "lost" something, but it wasn't the election.  What he lost was the vote count.

There's a difference.

Remember, if someone stacks the vote, stuffs the ballot box, forges thousands of ballots, that does not mean they outnumber you.  It only means they have "numbers" to back up their claim.

Lies, damned lies, and statistics vote counts.
