Why Mitt Romney Lost

The plutocratic Republican challenger in the 2012 Presidential election Mitt Romney lost by two percentage points-one more at 48% than the notorious 47% mentioned behind closed doors. He probably lost the winning margin because of the Republican Party attitude of disdain for global warming theory. Two well-known Republican leaders (Bloomberg & Powell) jumped ship late in the campaign as if chased by the furies and banshees together to the Obama mansion.

Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levine's 1950's style Americana appeal to moral conservatives seems a losing battle with the new Afro-American/Hispanic/Homosexual/Feminist majority able to ride rough-SUV's over the best scrooge appeals they can make to cut back on social welfare safety nets. In the new Alien-led America where global interests and an open (if revolving) door with Mexico seems the norm (some Chinese though Mr. Obama 'cute') provisioning a viable social safety net is simply a Republican challenge that winners will need to support.

President Reagan won his large majorities largely because he accentuated the positive even as a conservative. Americans will vote for positive change rather than cut backs. While they won't vote for repression they will vote for more and better of whatever. The disingenuous austerity advocated by the two millionaires Republican candidates seemed to sound to many like 'let the poor eat dirt', and that's a hard product to sell.

In the new alien America where twitterheads talking abroad seems more valuable to the millionaires at NPR than the real need to provide incentives for corporations and government contractors to hire those out of work longest, and where the Obama administration first term failed to extend the alternative energy tax credit for a decade or let the Bush era tax cuts expire it is obvious that a spoiled middle class without concern for anything besides their own comfort will be difficult to bring back into corporate servitude.

The Democrat middle class elements want to blame the rich for the Congress disingenuously, since the middle class are the majority and if they were themselves competent politically the state of the nation through Congress would work much better. The Congress is the middle class value monstrosity in the flesh.

The new non-white racial electorate majority influence in Presidential elections would need to be brought over to the Republican column now and then not through token leadership and promises to let a few more illegal aliens become voters, but through positive programs that realistically promote the well being of individual citizens and environmental health.

The Democratic Party blundered badly in the first Obama term on environmental issues failing to at all transform the national economy into that of a lower entropy producing, resource depleting composite biosphere life form factor. Perhaps life on Earth is doomed anyway with the airhead policies of the spoiled Federal Government and middle class unable to get beyond their ad hoc planned economy that substitutes inertial corporate consumerism for communes. Instead of letting banks, home owners, investors and Detroit bite the bullet on their business perfidies the dependence on the 'too big to fail' planned economy determined that nothing would change.

The non-white voting block (95% of blacks and 70% of Hispanics) that put another term of an intellectually retired Harvard lawyer back in the White House is as concerned about global warming and mass global disaster as anyone I suppose. They would not be reassured by the Scrooge Limbaughs that the science is all a hoax. Why vote for the rich that say global warming is a hoax and wants the poor to be starved into working for nothing while the rich earn more from their interest in a day that the broke will earn in a lifetime if they actually ever had a job?

Economic planning is requisite for a demographically intensely populated society with limited living space. It is simply a convenient lie to pretend that the sort of unplanned wilderness economic situation of America in the 19th century could work in the U.S.A. today. There are a zillion levels of planned economic support and infrastructure development programs in existence from road and bridge construction to public education, airports and Homeland security. Without recognition of the implicit fact of ossified social structure and its historical inertia as a planned economy it is very difficult to change anything substantively for the good or even to protect free enterprise from the co-option off the main corporate concentrations of wealth that the left so desires to move into at the upper levels through socialist corporatism.

The challenge is to meaningfully comprehend what parameters need to be planned, set or revised to achieve the goals of full employment, environmental recovery and elimination of public debt. Then the government can set free enterprise to go to work to achieve what it can to accomplish those objects.

If an appeal to repress horse flatulence and h.s. in urban areas in 1910 was all that was offered to voters, New Yorkers would still be shoveling thousands of tons of manure. Instead Henry Ford offered a better way, and that is an approach that would still work for Republicans in the future if they are in the future, morally worth voting for as differentiated from the godless, atheist immorality of the Democratic Party
