Yep, goodbye RINO’s. Good luck with your next election.
Reading the posts on threads like this proves that Mitt’s liberalism was just right for some of our more liberal freepers, they really do support the anti-conservative wing of the GOP and Mitt’s lifelong agenda of taking down conservatism.
So.....after reading all the replies (so far)in this thread, it just served to piss me off.
Romney had his chances. I was FURIOUS after watching the third debate, watching him let opportunity after opportunity go by to eviscerate Obama, and was very vocal about it here on FR (for which I was almost universally chastised).
I think Mitt’s a good man, an honest man. I’d do business with him in a heartbeat, and on a handshake.
He was still a weak candidate against a raving, Muslim, Socialist lunatic like Obama.
I’m 30 years in high tech sales and marketing, so I freakin’ well know a little about positioning and differentiation, thank you VERY much.
The original article above, and the quotes therein, is dead on. We needed a true Conservative, or one willing to adopt and espouse true Conservative principles and values....sans the MSM hype and bullshit....to draw a CLEAR distinction between voting R or D.
Romney, nice and good guy that he is, failed to do that.
Add to that the obvious: a MSM hell-bent on getting their fellow traveler elected yet again. Wouldn’t do to let the messiah they helped create cast to the dustbin of history after one term, right? Besides, these sick f**ks actually agree with him.
Face reality, boys and girls. We’re now a country dominated by takers. They actually have the right to vote, although not a damned one of ‘em who doesn’t pay FEDERAL income taxes should be allowed to.
We need to take over the RNC and turn it into what it should have been for the last 30+ years, and the Tea Party is probably just the right structure to do so.
They’re being realists. Throw rocks all you want.
I've sucked it up every election following Reagan and have been a good 'team player' just like the GOPe asked. Only to have some limpd*ck moderate republican blame me and my kind for the loss afterwards.
It gets tiresome -
“Are you kidding I had to quit a forum I joined in 2003 because all of the Christian bashing from the libertarians after the election.”
Well, they also stayed home because Romney was too religious for them. Social Conservative stayed home because he wasn’t 100% this, secular fiscal cons stayed home because he wasn’t 100% that, Obama promises free $$$ and wins. That’s the problem.
Are they going to have a “reset” button for his next inauguration since he is inheriting a sh!tload of messes from the first Obama term?
Wow, your “theory” isn’t really born out by the empirical evidence. Where is your evidence that a bunch of conservatives stayed home? This election had record turnout.
Maybe you’re just ticked because like a poster above said, the same people that told you running Moderate Mitt was a bad idea are now telling you again after your boy got creamed, and it kind of sucks, huh?
He got his message out. It was all about debt, spending, and the economy... just what we asked for. He articulated it well and with competence. He won the debates. There were no gaffes by Romney or Ryan. The voters made their decisions. What would you have had him do differently?
I voted for Mourdock in the primary.
He had been elected Treasurer in the state, so I figured he was ready for prime time.
We traded an 80% Republican (old Lugie) for a 97% Baraqqi.
Romney was our nominee, we had no choice. Well, I guess we did, but if we had a chance to oust zero, he was the hand dealt to us. Now, I’m not under the illusion that he would go after obama like he did conservatives, because I believe that many of McCain’s handlers were working behind the scenes.
I’m going to be honest, I wasn’t crazy about any of the candidates during the primary. I really wanted Sarah, but they ruined her. From what I heard, the Romney team was somewhat behind taking her out of the race. If so, then I’ll have to go with the Bible- whatsoever a man sows, that shall he reap.
I would have been ok with Mitt as president. At least I wouldn’t have been awake all night last night worrying about this country. He loves America - unlike the imposter who just won re-election. God, I hate saying that.
So did the Romney campaign point out with the HARD FACTS of gun running to Mexico by the OBAMA administration?
So did the Romney campaign hammer the OBAMA presidency on the Libya debacle?
So did Romney hammer home the FACT that we are in DEEP, DEEP, DEEP, financial trouble....if OBAMA stays in power?
I'm going to say....Nope, nope, and nope.
Prove me wrong.
Neither could Scott Brown. He lost to a faux-Indian for God’s sake. I think the people in MA are nuts. I really do!
yep!
I think we need to part ways with the RINO’s
I would have been aok with Mitt as president, but he is not.
He lost.
Time to move forward. Sarah Palin that means you.
I would characterize him as being -100% on the issues of most importance to me (not going by his talking the talk recently, but we he did in his elected capacity in the past).
I think we have arrived at a parting of the ways
****************
I hope and pray this comes to fruition!
There are ways of measuring elected officials and Lugar barely measured over 50% on Constitutional issues. That may not matter to you but at 81 years old, don't you think there was no one in the entire state of Indiana that measures up to Lugar?
and Indiana, who voted for Obama in 2008, voted for Romney in 2012. What does that tell you?
