Tonight's election results

GOP, You didn't lose tonight because of some socialist movement, you didn't lose because the country wants to go on the dole, you didn't lose because everybody wants to be "cool".
You lost because you didn't listen when Libertarian notioned members of your party told you to quit perpetuating the FIAT lie, you didn't listen,.. You lost because you believe that while you scream and shout for less government and personal freedom, you let the media and your chosen leaders tell you that what you NEED is more invasion and control in your personal lives and that pushing 1 specific batch of religious ideals should be pushed on everyone else.
IT IS THE ECONOMY but you let the religious right infiltrate a pure economical movement. Less government MEANS just that. You don't have the right to tell others to follow your religious beliefs. And by using socio-religious litmus tests for your candidates while our economy is burning on the water, is just overtly absurd and it gave the enemy the ammunition it needed and it alienated a substantial portion of yur electorate.
You lost because the leaders you chose in the past allowed crooked banks take advantage of uneconomical laws passed by the opposition "for the sake of the economy's growth" . And the opposition that wrote and passed those laws "in the interest of the poor and disadvantaged" point at your era where you had control and didn't stop what you KNEW was going to crash, because you didn't want the economy to drop while you were in control. Remember this?... "The most patriotic thing you can do right now is ...get out there and BUY things." Yeah, I remember too. You lost because you chose to put forth "face" that you didn't really believe in and ergo no-one in the middle did either. You picked a man based on believing the media that he was the best one "to beat the incumbent". We saw in 2004 that the "anybody but..." campaign doesn't work. So,... take a real hard look at your "personal freedom" platform, and look again at what you claim is your "fiscal responsibility" platform and come back in four years and BE Republican. NOT The religious, "if it makes money , it must be good for the economy", right. True Republicans are centrist by nature. The Libertarian party doesn't HAVE to exist or take your votes away. You can bring them into your fold by not projecting fanaticism and fear.
To the DEM, You didn't win a mandate, don't even try to kid yourself, and if you expect to win next time around, take a long look at who you're most likely to have for your candidate, The present VP. Yeah that's right, a rich, old, life long, politician who spews hate for the members of the opposition. Nice. BTW , pundits are pundits, they get paid to be controversial and rude. You don't you live among and work with and speak to the opposition every day and while their pundits may have said rude things through all this , THEY , your friends and family probably did not. And when you post on FB or Twitter, you're not being read by the people that pissed you off and said hurtful things about you or your candidate, you're being read by your life long friends that you have trusted and been through life's trials with. You might think of that while you enjoy the victory of your candidate.
