I really have to wonder why the Republicans are surprised about the election results. How could they really think that the majority of Americans want a president who will say anything to get elected, regardless of what he believes? Or, that actually has no core beliefs? Or who does not care enough about the country to actually demonstrate it by paying his fair share of taxes.
And I am grossly offended by the allegations that the only people who voted for President Obama are the “moochers,” the “takers.” The data show that the “Democratic states” actually pay more federal tax than most Republican majority states and thus are supporting those states! And now they think he’s somehow going to take all their guns away!
This hysteria happened four years ago and nothing has happened even though hundreds of people have been killed or mutilated by crazy people with guns and assault weapons. There are those on the right who do not consider Obama to have a mandate from the people although, now that they have called Florida for President Obama, he has the largest electoral vote (332) total since President Clinton.
Seriously, I am not sure how we can possibly consider this group of people rational.
Obama did everything he had to do, including winning without Florida’s electoral votes, and they still do not consider his presidency legitimate.
