The big question after the election is why did Romney lose
and why did the Republicans lose once again after promising to do everything in
their power to keep Obama a one term president.
I found it very interesting that the only group and I do
mean the ONLY GROUP that supported Mitt Romney were WHITE MALES of a certain
age.
I am a white male of a certain age so why am I in the
minority in this group.
Many say that white men cannot stand change and want to live
in the past, trying desperately to keep the future at bay…at least during their
lifetime.
Sure I remember the good ole’ days fondly and relive some of
my finer moments but then there were also not so fine moments.
Why did white men vote for Romney in such an overwhelming
fashion? …Because he is white like them?
I remember when the Republican nominating race started and I
remember telling you that if JON HUNTSMAN (another Mormon) was nominated, I
would vote for him. Why? …because he was a fiscal conservative like I am but he
was also a MODERATE when it came to social issues and I could live with that.
Huntsman was ignored right out of the gate with Republicans
saying they need a true conservative, red neck thinking, bible thumping moron
to carry them to victory…well, guess what…it didn’t lead them to victory because
Romney could not flip-flop into being a moderate fast enough at the very end;
the damage was done.
Many are saying that the Republicans need to change but I
think they are who they are and the people that they represent today (red areas)
need them to stay the same. What we need is a new Republican Party that stays
true to fiscal conservatism but drops all the hatred, bigotry and religious
nonsense and starts representing the modern American citizen.
Note: Notice where
all the red areas are on the map of the United States . Its blue in
population areas but red in rural and Southern areas…nuf said.
