The thing is, the ultra right, ultra religious conservatives are a minority. Yet, the GOP panders to them (see: Palin).
I'd say the GOP would have had a VERY good chance if they'd picked a decent VP.

It doesn't matter. People see Palin on McCain's ticket and it's an instant turn off.Ajax_the_Great1 wrote:

VP is the without a doubt the easiest government job a person can get. A retared monkey could do that job so I'd say she was perfectly qualified.

Liberal and conservative are just some peoples views on life with no right or wrong answer. It has nothing to do with intelligence.

Interesting to see how the word is misused so often today...Classical liberalism (also known as traditional liberalism, laissez-faire liberalism, and market liberalism or, outside Canada and the United States, sometimes simply liberalism) is a form of liberalism stressing individual freedom, free markets, and limited government. This includes the importance of human rationality, individual property rights, natural rights, the protection of civil liberties, individual freedom from restraint, equality under the law, constitutional limitation of government, free markets, and a gold standard to place fiscal constraints on government as exemplified in the writings of John Locke, Adam Smith, Ludwig von Mises, David Hume, David Ricardo, Voltaire, Montesquieu and others. As such, it is the fusion of economic liberalism with political liberalism of the late 18th and 19th centuries. The "normative core" of classical liberalism is the idea that laissez-faire economics will bring about a spontaneous order or invisible hand that benefits the society, though it does not necessarily oppose the state's provision of some basic public goods with what constitutes public goods being seen as very limited. The qualification classical was applied retroactively to distinguish it from more recent, 20th-century conceptions of liberalism and its related movements, such as social liberalism. Classical liberals are suspicious of all but the most minimal government and object to the welfare state.

"Republicans have a serious problem with young voters. In Florida, they overwhelmingly backed Barack Obama over John McCain and since the 2008 election, voters 18-29 have continued registering Democratic far more than Republican.
Because early voting habits tend to become long-term voting habits, the Florida GOP understands the gravity of the trend and is taking action. Its secret weapon for winning back the Twitter/Facebook generation? Brace yourself.
Panel discussions! And that's not all. Bruce Jenner, too!
On Aug. 22, the state Republican Party is hosting a "Drive the Discussion Exchange '09" youth conference in Orlando. Targeting Floridians 15 to 35, the conference promises panel discussions, "exciting speakers" and a voter registration drive.
The keynote speaker is Bruce Jenner, who won his Olympic gold medal before most of the event's target demographic was born. Jenner is surely better known to the future Republican leaders as the regular on Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

I think the line in "W." where Bush Sr. tells Dubya he fucked up Jeb's chances is pretty applicable here. I know there would probably be a fair amount of people who might support Jeb as a candidate, but by-and-large the Bush at the end of his name would be enough to lose the election.Varegg wrote:

See, if what you were saying were correct, the 30-44 and 45-64 age groups would be overwhelmingly in support of the GOP.
They're not.
Lets see GOP has a problem snagging voters who don't have a job, have no responsibility, have no idea what they are doing, or even give a shit about the world around them? Yeah, those are most definately democrat votes the GOP is trying to steal.Spearhead wrote:

Hey Spark, I doubt even you can deny that 18 to 25 year old age group isn't exactly a pool of productivity. Most are still suckling their parents bank accounts while they try and figure out, what to do, now that their party is about to end and it is time to get serious about building a career.Spark wrote:
