If this isn’t a mandate I don’t know what one looks like. He got the EC and Popular vote. The people have spoken. IF all of the Republicans in the house’s term had been up for re-election I’m sure that the Dems would have gotten more traction, probably got the majority back.

These Republicans are stubborn, but it takes more than blind determination to make a difference. IF they would just start acting like representatives of the people and start LISTENING instead of dictating to their constitutients they might deserve another term. If they keep fighting progress they are doomed to obsolence.

Tiberius – pulling the tail of the left AND right when needed

To give you the best answer I can:

Prior to 1964, the preponderance of African Americans were not considered a part of the American populace; it took passage of teh Civil Rights Act for African Americans to get full constitutional protections. Because LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act and the changes that the GOP underwent to be viewed by African Americans as the “white peoples’ party, African Americans shifted their loyalties to the Democratic Party. Since 1964, the Democrats have done much to maintain minority constitutional protections; part of those protections is the participation of Social Security and Medicare. The life expectancy of minorites has been historically lower…but it is growng; in some cases, survivor benefits of Social Security go to support the surviving spouse….so in essence, a part of an estate does go to the heirs.

Kyle, the problem is that voter FRAUD is virtually non-existent! The primary reason that voter fraud became an issue in 2008 is the VOLUME of the minority vote that came out for the President. Republicans saw that, knew that they couldn’t win the battle for ideas nor the demographics….so they did all within their purvue to suppress the minorty vote!! That was made quite evident in PA, OH, FL!! When someone beats you by playing within the rules, somehow, the rules always get changed!! There were ELDERLY people who were disenfranchised because of voter-ID; there were EX-felons who were disenfranchised — particularly in FL…because their voting rights were not reinstated after they served their sentences! Republicans made it known that they were going to suppress the minority vote by any means necessary….but it STILL failed!!

If Republicans want to ensure the elimination of these abominations, then agree to a NATIONAL STANDARD for voting…don’t leave it to the states…..or the reincarnation of Jose Cuervo (Jim Crow in Spanish…) will occur……

Re: “Make it clear the laws are about reducing fraud, not voting.”

I wish that were true, but some Republicans have admitted, out loud, that the purpose of these voter ID measures are to suppress the vote to improve their chances for winning elections.

Suppressing the vote is also why Republicans across the country, especially Florida and Ohio, have sought to reduce early voting, confuse voters about what IDs are required, make it more difficult for provisional ballots to be counted, purge eligible voters from the rolls, send “poll watchers” to distribute false information about required ID, make it significantly more difficult to register in the first place, and much more.

The more people that vote, the worse Republicans do. So, their strategy is to reduce the number of people who can vote. Republicans have clearly decided that that is a lot easier than persuading people to vote for them.

The truth is that this was predicted over a year ago.

President Obama had his accountability moment last night and came away with another resounding victory.

The question of a mandate is for losers. It is exactly what Democratic Party was asking after Bush won reelection. It was a silly question then. It is a silly question now. Voters did not reelect President Obama to carry out the conservative agenda.

Senator Rubio trying to play lipstick to the Republican pig is a demonstration that the party does not want to change. Best listen to Senator Graham and take his advice.

So how do you explain Mittens loss last night? By the third debate he was as far left as he could go without changing parties… Leagues away from where the “severely conservative” Mittens started out during the batcrap crazy primaries. Like it or not, this is a center/center-right country, pulling the GOP so far to the right like 2012’s primaries did scared the hell out of a lot of good people, then topping that off with the non-stop and outlandish lies just drove them away. So Huntsman was a moderate, he served his country when his president asked him to. That neither made him a RINO nor a liberal. Just because he doesn’t believe the female body shuts down the procces of pregnancy in the case of a legitimate rape does not make him a Democrat.

I think I saw something raw and inexplicable happen last night. A sitting President in the midst of an economic monster no when alive has seen, unemployment prevelant, and a congress in epic gridlock, wins. Hmmm, what’s afoot?

According to the geniuses at the Republican bunker (no doubt hunkered down with former VP “Darth” Cheyney), they poured over their battle plans and set strategic offices up to further the GOP machine….unfortunately, it was targeted at RED STATES that have always been RED. They delighted in the performance of their selected at his first real Presidential debate (Fact Check? We don’t need no stinkin’ fact check!) They all watched as we did the avoidance of facts and substance (something the GOP needs to get its head around, ASAP!! The entirety of the electorate is not and does not resemble the GOP base, nor do they think like them). They allowed money to pour through their coffers in a clear and unabashed attempt to purchase the Presidency (no Mitt, I gues Citizen’s United ain’t a citizen like corporations…). And yet, the guy with the “bad record” lost.

Hmmm, the Gods must be crazy??!! Or the American citizen? Up until the last day, the GOP was pounding its chest, GOP surrogates and pundits alike, declared National Mitt Day. The Mittster in a landslide!!!! (enter crickets..here.) Watching the Romney Victory Hall Soiree’ was about as bad as watching back to back episodes of Cop Rock (I wanted to put my own eyes out…..OH THE HUMANITY!!!). Cut to Chicago and the crowd NEVER looked worried….ever!! Hell, even El Mustachioed D. Axelrod KEPT his face fur in a bet he placed with Georgie at ABC. The electorate knew that the President was going to win. Even the media knew it, but, of course you gotta keep em’ guessing (makes for great ratings and Ohhhh, those advertising dollars!!)

As for the what now? Well GOP’ers, moving to Canada is a poss…wait…what’s that??!!! The devil you say??!!! Canada has UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE??!!! But the GOP wants everyone to pay the insurance companies….oh because of that we can’t get in to Canada??

Kyle, you three journalists work very well together in this kind of informal context, and I hope that you three will have many more broadcast sessions for readers and for citizens throughout the greater Atlanta area. Excellent work!

I have a few remarks, below, regarding the concepts discussed in the video, above. My remarks run a little longer than I had hoped, but I could not cut anything and make the impact I wanted with detail. I hope that this is ok this time. I think my thoughts will generate additional thought.

Conservatives cannot simply pull in constituencies, such as the Latino vote, by voicing a more inclusive mantra. Instead, they will have to fundamentally change, from within, to believe authentically in a vision of all humanity which sees others in egalitarian terms, rather than in hierarchial terms. Monied people often fail to see others through egalitarian eyes, although they can mask their hierarchial vision of others through appearances, such as in supporting humanitarian works of some limited selection.

Some have pondered – over the years since the Civil Rights Movement – why African-Americans have voted for present day Democrats en masse, seemingly becoming only tools to serve that political party’s interests, without awareness. I believe to see African-Americans in this light, because they have voted in large voting blocs for Democrats, is wrongheaded thinking. Those who think that African-Americans have been used by Democrats, instead of making up their own minds, with insight, demonstrate a basic disrespect for the intelligence and awareness of African-Americans. I believe that African-Americans, like women, have a special radar – having been suppressed for generations – as to who authentically sees them and their capabilities and sensibilities with egalitarian eyes and who does not – over and beyond verbal arguments put forth to gain their support. I believe that African-American, like women, have grativated toward the present day Democratic Party because of how Democrats perceive them.

For example, when Gov. Romney changed his political approach toward a more moderate one from a hardline conservative one in the presidential election, he gathered more support overall, but he never really gained the full support of women, or the full support of African Americans, because these two groups have developed a special emotional radar, if you will, which could see beneath his tactical change by his words, alone. These two groups knew how deeply the 47% remark – made by Gov. Romney in private – resonated in his heart and soul, beyond what he said. They could see that he lacked the authentic internal vision to see them as equals, without any condescension in his heart. They could see that he lacked the vision, in other words, of the true egalitarian who sees all human beings as equals (regardless of the cards in life that each human being might be given to play) and regardless of how kind a man he might be with his own loved ones. In other words, they saw that Mitt Romney lacked a deeply human vision of, and understanding for, all humanity that Barack Obama contains in his heart and soul. And they understood that beyond words.

This is a subtle awareness and a subtle change of consciousness that Republicans will have to come to understand in their hearts as well as in their minds, and that takes longer to understand than a “sensitivity training” session. It requires a change of how one sees the world and those who inhabit it.

One, because the majority of polls in question have oversampling of Democrats trying to mimic 2008 turnout (which I don’t believe will happen), and two, because voting trends of actual and historical trump polls.
This is not the Obama-mania election of 2008; more in the mold of a traditional election where both candidates are equally inspiring and uninspiring to their respective parties. And if I were Obama, I wouldn’t like the cry for help out of Pennsylvania yesterday, especially with a possible depressed vote out of Democrat stronghold Philly due to the storm while western PA (more fertile GOP territory) has no issues.

One good thing about Obama winning is foreign policy. Obama will do whatever it takes to hold the maker of that anti muslim video responsible for getting our people killed in Libya. Romney would not be smart enough to understand that it was not terrorists that were responsible, it was a video. Any one want to wager how many will be on welfare in 4 years ?

5 Big Stories The Media Will ‘Discover’ After The Election

“But now that Obama is safely in the White House for another four years, the press is sure to churn out what can charitably be called “now they tell us” stories about these matters, now that any potential election impact has passed.

On Tuesday, Yahoo News provided a glimpse, with a story by seasoned journalist Walter Shapiro, who finally got around to wondering whether “anyone outside (Obama’s) family and the inner sanctum of the White House staff really know Obama or have a clear handle on what he would do with a second term.”

Among other stories the media are likely to “discover” now that voters have made their decision:

• The economy really does stink.

• Massive debt and entitlement crises loom.

• The debt ceiling limit is fast approaching.

• ObamaCare isn’t what it was cracked up to be.

• Obama’s deficit-cutting plan won’t work.”

Tiberius,

You have been pontificating from on high for months on this blog. Claiming you understood the secret sauce and regurgitating the idiocy of “Rove’s numbers/trends”, Benzhagi, and Fox News’ trumped up Dumb Story of the week. True statisticians and quants had it correct, but Fox News never deals in facts. Face it you were summarily wrong. What you need to realize is that Republicans as a collective need to come back to the middle, be more inclusive and distance themselves from the evangelicals and social issues. That’s the direction of the country. Republicans and the Lunatic Fringe that is the Tea Party is needs to realize it or face obsolescence. You also need to stop attempting to be so smart yet end up so wrong. Open your mind and acknowledge other points of view. You really should be embarrassed.

This is a good example of the psychosis and denial now going on among the cons. It has to be something that commie Muslim Obama did that caused poor Mitt to lose. It could not be Mitt stating he is seriously conservative or him taking extreme positions on taxes, regulation, the environment, women’s rights or saddling up with the most conservative neocons that could have effected the vote? Funny I did not see Obama in that videotape of the real Romney talking to his base -the 1% fat cats forcing Romney to say those extremely right wing views. Or was he there in disguise as one of the waiters with a gun pointed at Romney.?
This is the Rove disease that permeates the cons- what ever you have screwed up always and I mean always blame it on the other side.

The awful Joe Walsh, Alan West, Todd Akin, Scott Brown, George Allen and Richard Mourdock all deservedly kicked to the curb.

Tammy Duckworth and Tulsi Gabbard – the first two female combat veterans elected to the United States Congress. Salute!!!

And on and on and on and on.

This election was MUCH more than just a victory for the skinny black guy over the morphing fraud. It was another nationwide repudiation of right wing fanaticism, willful stupidity and incompetence.

To wit, the hijacked, hemorrhaging and horrific GOP lost all of the following demographics. (Again.)

American women, American Jews, African-Americans, American Latinos, all other American minorities and all of the centers of commerce, culture and education in this country.

So what’s your excuse for the overwhelming advantage Obama had with women and the hispanic population. Maybe a majority of women were worried about the retarded statements coming from Republican candidates about women, rape and contraception. And the Hispanic vote went to Obama because of the Dream Act while Republicans were screaming DEPORT and exhibiting other forms of xenophobia (I know it’s a big word so look it up). And African Americans? Considering the many examples of racism coming from Republicans, expecting them to support you would be like expecting a Jew to vote for the Nazi Party.

The problem for Republicans — and this is not at all unique to Romney — is that the best hope they currently have in terms of electoral math is the 286 electoral votes that George W.

A ceiling of 292 just leaves very little room for error — for any Republican candidate now or going forward.

Remember the 50s and 60s? Tax rates on the wealthy were 90%. Guess what? The nation prospered!!! Even returning taxes to the Clinton years is for your side a return to socialism! Really???

Facts Please. Where are Romney’s plans to ban abortion? What nation has trickle up economics that is thriving besides Germany? Can you tell me how Germany does it? Thought not.

SOP (hey shorten that screen name and it fits you), forget Germany and look north to Canada. No trickle down there. And explain how this country prospered in the 50s and 60s with high taxes on the wealthy? Ban abortion? You want me to pull Romney’s quotes? What about Ryan’s quotes? Planned Parenthood? I can on with this one too. Gay marriage? Ditto to that. Heck, you Republicans don’t even believe in teaching sex education to youngsters and would rather teach them “abstinence”. Really? One reason why the South has among the highest rates of teen pregnancies. Evolution? That’s just a little theory according to many of your kind while creationism is okay. The list goes on and on.

Hey SOP, those other countries which teach 14 year olds sex education and contraception have far lower teen pregnancy rates than Dixie. Nambla??? Really?

President Obama has a huge a mandate from women in general, and especially unmarried women (who want their reproductive rights protected under the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling), Asians, Hispanics, Blacks, Jews, GLT, and young voters per stats published today.

Women put women in the Senate in numbers NEVER seen before.

Yesterday was a great day for women.

I suspect Romney’s lack of respect for those 47% he referred to on that infamous tape, showed up in great numbers, in support of a President who respects them.

When Glass-Segal was struck down removing the separation of investment banking with traditional banking, the seeds of the financial collapse were firmly planted.

It went far beyond ending Glass-Segal. PBS Frontline did a fantastic job of detailing exactly what took place and who was involved. Even more information has been posted on Wikipedia. Anyone who believes this was a partisan event, is in the kindest of terms, IGNORANT OF THE FACTS!

For what this is worth: Putting Glass-Segal back on the books isn’t the answer but ending or separating the government backed participation in the housing and mortgage industry. Not only because it not constitutional but because it is too darn risky and too far easy for systemic corruption to take root.

Government debt is the only instruments the Federal Government should back with the taxpayers name and money.

“Republicans were able to gerrymander districts in such a way that the Republicans should be able to easily maintain control of the US HOR’s for the next 10 years.”

You just don’t get it, do you?

Oh I get it. This is an ongoing battle for the heart and soul of the nation. The Progressives have been in constant battle mode since the early 1900’s. Conservatives have always thought that politics only matter a little and business is way more important. I have been fellow conservatives for years that the battle must be continual and constant and maybe they will start to listen.

On topic……and the bitter truth about the GOP, which means Wingfeild will probably censor this.(it seems as if Bookman doesn’t censor the unpleasent truth as frequently).
.

I know that the term Neo-con is overused but it is a self-named term. You republicans should really educate yourself on the origins and history of Neo-Conservatism. A quick history of the start of this bankrupt philosophy——
“The “new conservatives” who now run the Republican Party and much of the Democratic Party as well, are a peculiar bunch. The leading lights of “neoconservatism” during the Reagan years “were Trotskyites who had replaced their hereditary agenda of global socialist revolution with one of a global revolution of ‘democratic capitalism.’ Unashamedly embracing Machiavellian tactics against opponents and against the American people, they gloried in ‘big government’ and fervently planned to project American armed force around the world, the national debt be damned.” None of this “could be considered a “conservative” agenda . . .”, they write.

McClanahan and Wilson don’t mention it, but the intellectual guru of most of the high profile neoconservatives was the late Leo Strauss, a University of Chicago professor. Strauss was quite the crackpot. He was an atheist who “scoffed at the idea of God,” wrote Daniel Flynn in his book, Intellectual Morons, but who nevertheless preached about the value of using religion to dupe the masses into accepting the neocons’ interventionist foreign policy agenda. The “evangelical Christians” in America would be Exhibit A of the success of this Machiavellian strategy.

A neo-con is just another type of progressive.
And the GOP is full of em.
It doesn’t bode well for your party or for America either.
.
Where does the GOP go from here?
.
Until they get rid of every last traitor who signed the NDAA…..the GOP can all go to hades.(or New York city).
.
The only future for America is Paulism.

Mandate-The concept of a government having a legitimate mandate to govern via the fair winning of a democratic election is a central idea of democracy. New governments who attempt to introduce policies that they did not make public during an election campaign are said to not have a legitimate mandate to implement such policies.

If Obama suddenly decided to slash taxes 20%, increase defense spending and turn Medicare into a voucher he has no mandate….

On the other hand if he asks the rich to pay more, continues to match defense expenditures to needs and agressively rolls out Obamacare…yes he does.

The discussion everyone seems to be avoiding is how American politics has fundamentally changed. The non-white population of America has made it clear they will vote largely along racial lines. Very few of them voted republican. The ONLY reason Obama has his keister in the oval office is because white voters are NOT using race as their primary voting basis. This is a huge difference.

What it means is that the only way the republican party can rise from this point forward is to play the same race game as the democrats. The republicans need to be the party of white America. Romney proved how far they have their heads in the sand.

Everyone needs to realize that if white Americans were largely racists, we would not have a black president for many more decades to come. White Americans have made fantastic progress in terms of racial reconciliation and acceptance. Non-white Americans have regressed during the same time period and have become more racist than ever before in history.

To this point I agree with Eric Holder; America really is afraid to talk about race. But this election and all the gloating over the loss of political influence among white people is certain proof that the racial pendulum is nearing the extreme of travel and will begin to return.
