Voting against Romney and for five or six different candidates, all of which were outspent and assaulted with negative ads by the Romney slime machine.
Were you in hibernation when all that was going on?
“Voting against Romney and for five or six different candidates....”
________
Exactly the problem. There was no leadership during the primary, just random ambling. Conservative media figures were all trying so hard not to upset audience share that not one single figure came out for a candidate. I don’t think that I or any other Freeper would have ceded their vote to a media figure, but the discussion could have brought about real debate and a conservative candidate. had just one stepped forward and said, “I back______ because”, then a discussion would have ensued. What happened was mud slinging, lying, attacking each other and the cnaiddate who could afford the most mud and TV ads won.
” Liberal Republicans like George Romney and Nelson Rockefeller.”
Yes, and those liberal Republicans are the very ones that Rush and Hannity are actually gushing over when they brag about the GOP passing the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Goldwater voted against it.
Not that I expect that they know the slightest thing about the nature of the GOP back then. It’s just more of their perennial cheerleading for anything that the GOP has done, ignoring the fact that The Stupid Party has often advanced the interests of the Left. That’s why they are the Stupid Party.
“He doesn’t need a fire-breather, just someone who isn’t ‘moderate’ - and bland ( e.g. Pawlenty). Or Portman.
He will not do that. He handlers won’t let him.
“I hope he has people that will advise him...but from what I’ve seen...they are inept. If he can’t manage his own campaign..”
I SO don’t get it! When he ended up last man standing, I thought well, at least he has an incredibly skilled, efficient and killer campaign, to have knocked all the others out of the race, that will have a fighting chance against BHO.
NOW they have him being Mr. Nice Guy, lame and weak?
There’s such an obvious contrast here that it does make one believe he’s part of a New World Order plan to let BHO win again. (We already know both BHO and Hillary attended the ‘08 Bilderberg conference.)
Even my 93-year-old dad says we have the worst possible candidate (he didn’t like McLame in ‘08 either). It just makes me sick to see all this unfolding. A conservative friend of mine and his dad talk about going to Australia to live because they don’t want to be here when our country goes down the tubes, and because Australia doesn’t worry about political correctness, has tough rules on immigration and values their sovereignty.
