You are free to express your views, never said you weren’t, but if you believe Bachmann or Cain or Santorum would be winning a general election you are indeed NAIVE.
They all washed out for very good reasons. Just because they may have been more ideologically to your liking does not mean they were going to win a general election.
The rest of your rant just comes across as sour grapes, and that doesn’t solve anything, though it may make you feel better.
Romney wasn’t my first choice, but this entire electoral field on the republican side was WEAK AS HELL! Of that weak bunch Romney won the nomination, you can whine about that like a child, or deal with it.
Who has asked you to lie about anything? You believe he was the worst the Republicans had to offer, you are free to believe that, but I can tell you without any remote reservatioin Bacmann, Perry, Cain and Santorum had ZERO chance of even having an national campaign had they won the nomination, every one of them would have been 10 points behind from the get go and fallen from there. They may have been closer to your or my ideological viewpoints but they had ZERO chance of election, and like it or not, winning elections matter.
Romney for all his flaws showed he could get votes, all those others failed. You are trying to make the argument that folks who lost in previous rounds of the playoffs would have been better options for the championship game and like it or not, that defies reality.
Now, I can sit here an voice all the points I disagree with Romney, and there are many, or I can be sour grapes and make ludicrous claims that there isn’t a “dimes bit of difference between Romney and Obama Larry..” Or I can point out that, that argument is nonsensical.
Our embassies are attacked, and Romney condemns the attackers, while Obama apologizes to them! I don’t think Romney is the savior of anything, no living person is my savior, he left this world a long time ago. however this nonsense that there isn’t any difference or one is just as bad as the other etc is nonsensical. You are free to believe it, but its nonsensical.
You have some good points. Trust me, I have long ago come to the realization that I have to vote for Romney. It doesn’t even make me ill thinking of that. You could be right about the others not being able to beat Obama, but everyone here has stated that an empty suit can beat Obama but you are saying differently. Anyway, some good points by you for sure and every now and again, I will get frustrated and whine like a child as you say but I can tell you it has gone down quite a bit from the day he won the nomination (the day Santorum got out and Romney was basically it and not the convention). The United States of America’s population has clearly gone the way of liberalism even though it is reported here that 40 percent of America is conservative...I find that hard to believe after this nominating season. I get most of my news on FR so I guess I believe what I read from fellow FREEPERS who say that Obama is EASY to beat....
