Why are Republicans so bad at handling losing?

Conservatives are such sore losers. When Obama won in 2008 instead of accepting the defeat they double down on more of their stupid out of date policies and went into this mental state of insanity that can only be described as some type of serious brain damage. Then they lost AGAIN in 2012 and yet again rejection only made them crazier. I thought when you lose you crawl back into your shell, learn from your mistakes, and try it again under a different approach. Although that is asking a lot from a very primitive, narrow minded, creature like a conservative Republican. Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh are examples of these pathetic worthless lifeforms.

    The low self esteem, and the need to put others down, is pretty much why they are republicans. So the inability to handle any sort of defeat is a direct effect of the psychological problems.

    Wow, so for the first two years of Obama's administration when the Democrats in the House lead by Nancy Pelosi told Republicans to sit in the corner and kept them out of the government process means that Republicans are sore losers?

    Second, in case you didn't realize that in 2010 the Republicans won the House and gained seats in the Senate thus they actually won this election.

    Third, in 2012, the Republicans kept the House even though Conservative voter turn-out was down.

    This tells me that enough people want Conservatives in Government to be a voice of reason to the liberal nonsense. I mean, the average liberal can't see the changes that Europe and Canada has been making and continue to make.

    If there is any one group out of touch it is the liberals who are currently in charge who can't stop trillion dollar deficits like we have had for 5 years now.

    Aren't you just a little late for the 'Sore Loser' band wagon? I'm sorry but you come off a little funny to us republicans at this late date. Now had you been a little quicker and not so far behind we might have given you a little guff, but now we can only try to hold back our giggles. By the way, is this how the democrats felt when Bush mowed them over 2 elections in a row?? I know it took them 8 yrs plus up to the present to get over that!

    That's not true about the 2012 election, as far as I can see how things appear to be turning out. Yes, perhaps that is more or less what they did after the 2008 election, but now they seem to be making a turn around on their outreach to non-white sections of the population, and changing their policy on immigration.

    How can you ignore the FACT that Republicans won the majority in Congress in both 2010 and 2012? And talking about bad losers YOU probably haven't gotten over the fact the Bush won in 2000.
