So, Rubio and Jindal, the supposed future of this party, seem content to go into full throttle pander mode to ensure future election prospects. Notwithstanding what we think of Mitt in the rear-view, is the lead-up to 2016 inevitably going a be full out fire-sale on Conservative values as a means to acquire the keys to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave? Isn't there another way?

I hate it.

How are they going into pander mode by pointing out that such comments aren’t constructive?

Our next struggle to cauterize the wound of this William Weld/Massachusetts disaster of a candidate, is to figure out a way to shut him up, and drive him out of the GOP leadership, or else he will continue his war against the tea party and the right.

Romney may not have used the best wording, but his remarks about the progressive left and Obama creating an entitlement, and free “stuff,” society are exactly right and we are going to have to educate them as to the fratal nature of that course...not adopt it ourselves.

I don’t agree with your accessment. Romney surrounds himself with rich people, which is understandable since he is one of them, but he doesn’t get regular people need their social security check that is theirs due to having to pay into it all their lives. I have to have Medicare since there is no other insurance I can get since I’m over 65. He needs nothing so thinks no one else does, either.

His main reason for losing is because he is a liberal and his attitude turns people off.

Romney told the truth. I just wish he would have done that before the election.

From the article:

Rubio said that as a party, “our mission should not be to deny government benefits to people who need them,” but the GOP should work to ensure “less people need government benefits.”

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!

The “Free Stuff” has to stop before the country will change. A tall order indeed.

Well said. We need to look to someone who isn't going to pander and act like Democrats. These two have been crossed off my list.

This election worked out perfectly to Washington DC’s ends. Every advance of the left accrues more power to DC...and then the Oligarghy takes turns playing with the new batch of toys....of which ObamaCare is merely one of the latest games they get to enjoy. Rubio and Jindal merely see their turn coming unless We the People get up on our high horse and do something about it!

Ensuring a “fair vote” in some of the ghetto communities....why would anybody in DC wanna spend time DOING THAT?!!! Hard work, potentially dangerous...and besides could interfere with the whole game!!!

This problem is clearly only solved by We the People out in Flyover Country. If we’re tired of the DC “two party” illusion and want a real system....the hard work starts locally. BTW the left has been there almost 100 years now...and uprooting them will take some effort.

“I don’t think it’s helpful,” Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad told POLITICO at the Republican Governors Association conference on Thursday. “I guess my feeling is that we need to turn the page, and we need to focus on the future and not make excuses for the past.”

Spoken like a true executive who doesn't want, or doesn't know how, to fix any real problem. Yes, by all means let's "move on"... or "forward," if you will.

While still superior to the truly awful Tom Vilsack (currently Obama's Ag Secretary... despite not knowing anything about farming) and Chet "Lumpy Rutherford" Culver, Terry Branstad has never been particularly averse to "free s**t." Without the influx of federal - i.e., other people's - money, Iowa would see depopulation until there were nothing but government workers, landed Junkers, enough low-wage farm supply and roadbuilding workers to service same, and the bones of our ancestors.

Unpleasant to contemplate, but on the other hand, it would eliminate most of the diversity imports from Illinois.

Wake up and smell the coffee, Terry.
The election was bought and paid for by you and me.
