Will Obamacare get its act together in time?

Too lazy to look it up, but didn't the GOP get slapped around after the shutdown in the nineties?

[Ben Kenobi]

Nope, they gained representation in the House and Senate after.

That said, I can't recall ever thinking Romney had a real chance.

You have no idea my frustration in watching the Republican nomination that year during my banning.

What some of us call "the good old days." I've been trying to get Plomp to commit to quadrennial bannings for you during presidential election years.

332 electoral votes is 'hanging on by his dick hairs'?!

You as usual are ****ing retarded. EVs swing wildly from a 1-2% swing in the popular vote. If the popular vote had been only slightly different nationwide, Romney would have won by a similar margin.

They lost a few house seats and gained two senate seats in 1996. As usual Ben is wrong.

Also lol if Ben thinks some other GOP candidate had a better chance than Romney at winning. Haha, yeah, because Rick Santorum has such broad based appeal.

Right. Shutdown means that the Republican party is doomed. Except - historical evidence suggests that's not the case at all.

And how did that Romney nomination work out for you? Gosh. Looks like he was an unelectable turd.

Had Romney simply carried over the same folks McCain did, he would have won.

Can't be bothered to actually read the thread and click "view post" for all of BK's posts but I think he's probably moving the goalposts here.

What makes you think any of the other candidates would have done that? (Here's a hint: none of them. The electorate in 2012 was slightly different than the one in 2008. Demographics changed enough that with an election that close it made the difference.)

It's good to know I have folks like you looking out for my welfare and wellbeing. Which is why you're grandstanding here.

Perhaps it's unwise to comment on what you haven't read.

It's depressing to know that you think there are people here who actually like you. Well maybe Slowwy does, but I can't think of anyone else.

I'm just going to ask this straight up, Ben: what can we do to get you to go away? If I mailed you $500, would you stop posting forever?

Yes, hate makes you stronger, Reg.
