Being a Republican is about restriction. Being a Democrat is about freedom. I'd guess Republicans get more ulcers.
Speaking of which, didja hear about Gov Christie losing it when a student disagreed with him on New Jersey education policy? The dissenter was forceable removed. So much for forums and citizen input.
Poor Christie. Maybe it was the diet pills. Or, the wretched campaign Republicans are having. Not a good year to be a Republican.

Let me try out a high road. Just as poverty blinds the poor, so does wealth blind the rich.
Obama has his blindnesses too. He is a person with an unusually diverse childhood, whitewashed with African-American culture and attitude, whitewashed with ivy-league/wall street attitude. Romney is 1/3 third that.

Campaigning for president and losing is a real downer. Rejection by a majority of Americans after you spent years singlemindedly running. It's shrink time.
How a man (or woman) takes it says a lot about them. With Romney, it's like "I'm picking up my marbles and going home."
Romney's reaction imo tells us that we collectively made the right decision. This was actually my feeling when Al Gore "lost" in 2000. He grew a beard and left public life, then reinvented himself. All those years as VP, as understudy, and then he didn't get the role. Shoulda had more balance in his life, shoulda had a life.
It bothers me when a person is either president or a void. That's the feeling I get from Romney, that there really wasn't a person there besides a candidate, that it was all like a movie set, filming over, all actors gone, the bare boards blowing in the wind.
