The GOP House Has a Mandate Too

They'll do nothing about it, but it will set the stage for negotiations for a compromise from what they've crafted, rather than wait on the prez.

Instead of crying over spilled milk, because what you are doing here isn't going to fix anything - it's just whining, why don't you focus on how you can fix what is wrong with the Republican Party.

I heard Newt, on Morning Joe this morning, talking about how wrong he, Karl Rove and Michael Barone were on who would win the election. He is going to do a personal study which will take 4 to 6 months. My answer to him is that they couldn't see, through their partisan eyes, what those of us saw who were not partisans - an untrustworthy candidate. 3 million Republicans stayed home.

Why don't you focus on how you can fix this in the Republican Party:

"Mitt Romney is a very nice man who as a husband and father possesses a spotless moral character. Among his political peers, that fact alone makes him a rare and unimpeachable gentleman. However, Mitt’s public-policy record and achievements – if you can call them that – are nothing short of a bold and committed liberal and by his own declaration some time ago “to the left of Ted Kennedy.”

His campaign for the White House from its inception was going to be a herculean effort to keep the Republican base willing to cast their votes for this nominee."

So stop the excuse making and cowardly whining. Instead cure our own “in house” systemic disease.

I am sick of hearing what Obama did or is gong to do. I want to hear how the Republicans are going to re-brand themselves, if they can.
