Hey Actinanass, Is America A Center Right Country?

[thoughtone]

Well?

This is still a center right country.

Still no response!

I don't really think you know what center right means.

Lets see how this next term plays out. I really don't have the energy to even waste time debating on here anymore.

Besides, you should be happy, the republican party is officially split in two. Your side pretty much got what you wanted.

Enjoy life...

Oh for crying out loud, the answer is "no". It's been "no" for my entire lifetime (40 yrs this summer). The only time Republicans win nationally is when they adopt liberal like stances. When they run as true Right wing politicians, they lose.

Here are some final stats about Obama's victory, courtesy of Bloomberg's Greg Giroux:

• Obama got 51.1 percent of the popular vote to Mitt Romney's 47.2 percent, a four point margin. (Let's all pause for a moment and savor the fact that history will show that Romney won … 47 percent.) That's a wider margin than George W. Bush won by in 2004 (51-48), when pundits on the right like Charles Krauthammer declared that he had earned a mandate.
• That makes Obama the first president to crack 51 percent two elections in a row since Dwight Eisenhower more than a half-century ago. (Sorry, conservatives, Ronald Reagan only reached 50.75 percent in 1980.)
• Obama won 26 states and the District of Columbia, piling up 332 electoral votes. You can think of it another way: There is no state in Obama's column which would have swung the election to Romney had he won it. In other words, if Romney had pulled a stunning upset and won California's 55 electoral votes … he'd still have lost.
• There were only four especially close states in the 2012 election. Only Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia were decided by less than 5 percentage points. (Note: Romney won one of them, North Carolina; had he swept those four states … he'd have still lost the election as Obama totaled 272 electoral votes in the rest of the country.) Four is the smallest number of close states in a presidential election since Reagan trounced Walter Mondale nearly 30 years ago.

Whose fault is that?
