Will the republicans learn that insulting a large portion of the electorate isn't a good idea?

The 47%, all their constant talk about people with their "entitlements", the horrible comments about women and rape. They do realize that if this continues, they won't be relevant for very long. Or will they remain in that little fear bubble quietly telling themselves how awesome they are?

    Going by the remarks of some Republicans, I don't think they have taken a lesson from this election. They seem unable to grasp that the demographics of the American population has change quite considerably in the last 10 or so years. The middle classes are struggling far more than they used to, and are more amenable to a greater sharing of the tax burden.

  • No, they will continue drinking the Faux News Kool Aid. They haven't been humiliated enough yet. Maybe when real patriotic Americans take the House back from them in 2014, they'll wake up. Maybe not.

    They must feel awful that they can't even loosen up and tallk straight at the country club anymore without worrying about a busboy with an iphone recording their miserable fear and loathing of middle- and lower-class people.

    Romney was right. Freeloading is a problem. 47 million on food stamps. 15 million more since 2008

    I noticed talking all kinds of madness about republicans is completely acceptable. You know the usual democrat lies "You Nazis, racist woman haters & etc ad nauseum".
