There isn’t going to be a 2016 for America, and even if there was, the GOP would lose.
You can't win the GOP nomination, how will you win nationally ?
Where will you find your voters ?
What are you going to do, start a Tea Party? How's that worked out for one-and-done Allen West or various senate candidates like Akin, Mourdock, O'Donnell and others... easy wins that were thrown away?
But wait, you don't even want a real Tea Party because the actual Tea Party movement is SILENT on social issues.
Much worse than that this America is not Reagan’s 1980 America.
Ronald Reagan'd be too much RINO for a substantial number of freepers.
He may not even not win the nomination.
Michael's a hack still riding on his adoptive father's good name and reputation. He tried selling access when Ronnie was in office.
I can’t agree on Herman Cain. His heart is right, and he’s as conservative as they come, but he has trouble thinking on his feet, a critically required skill for a president. His various misstatements were enough to disqualify him as a candidate for me.
But, still, a great man.
The communist got MORE BLACK VOTES than he did in 2012! In otherwords where were all the black pastors and their flocks that said they wouldn’t vote for him when he came out for queer “marriage”. Answer: They don’t exist. Blacks vote racist. They voted for him because they think he’s one of them, makes no difference at all that he was raised by affluent muslims and whites and has absolutely nothing in common with the black man in America. The vast majority of blacks are too dumbed down by the democratic party to realize that. The ones that do have a mind of their own and call the communist for what he is are labeled uncle toms and belittled by 99% of other blacks. Skin color trumps everything else for these people. Well I should say skin color and being a welfare daddy leftist. They could care less if the fake and fraud now claims it’s OK for two men to get “married”. As long as that welfare check and free cell phone keeps coming in he has their vote.
The slut battle did help Dems. Was pointless and Rush showed his age.
It’s a post Christian country (sadly) and Republicans are running like it’s Norman Rockwell. Morality is resented these days.
Focusing only on economic issues is where we win the majority of voters. For now.
Four more years of millions added to disability and food stamp roles, might be too late by 2016 to do anything. Economy collapsing from the debt will
accelerate dependency.
Sad but true.
Black Christians complained about gay marriage but lined up and supported Obama. Big time support.
They will vote skin color in DETROIT level garbage status. They’d do the same to the entire country. Just give up that demographic. West and Love lost. Blacks don’t want anything more than handouts.
A number of women I have talked to have identified Mourdoch’s and Akin’s statements on rape to be a deciding factor.
We need more discipline in our candidates. A lot more.
“A number of women I have talked to have identified Mourdoch’s and Akin’s statements on rape to be a deciding factor.”
So they voted against Romney even though he didn’t have anything to do with the statements? They obviously lack critical thinking skills.
I wonder if they had any opinion regarding Benghazi . . .
. . . and how do they feel about a president that believes it’s quite normal to leave an infant [no matter how she is conceived] to die alone in a cold, dark closet . . .
. . . and that it’s okay to pierce their head or burn or poison them so they’ll be delivered dead? That’s the person they voted for? What a tragedy! Some people are beyond disgusting!
Speaking of disgusting, wonder what they think about all the leftists who are thanking whatever it is they worship (I’m positive it isn’t God) for hurricane Sandy?
Because, after holding their noses for McCain, they realized that Romney, a liberal, signaled that the Republican party would only preserve the [Obama] Status Quo.
IOW, they weren't fooled by his rhetoric, by his waking up one day and deciding to be conservative [because he wanted to run for president] -- the GOP got exactly what it deserved for anointing him [long before the primaries] and pushing him on us through unsavory means: remember the VA delegate bus incident? remember the three states where Romney was declared primary winner with a later 'whoops'? remember the Ron Paul supporters winning their primaries [or at least portions thereof] through some shrewd rule-using only to be denied due retroactively placed rule changes?
The GOP got exactly what it deserved.
They’re Democrate and their critical thinking skills are less than impressive. They decide on the basis of emotions and those emotions are easily led by someone who knows how to do it.
My feeling is that we should have picked someone who was very charismatic for the slot as this approach by the electorate is going to be come more common.
But we through out Sarah, Rick Perry early on and there was no one left who could really turn on the charm.
“Herman Cain has the right idea..”Time for a new party”.
Well Herman, I’m all in.”
I’m not. And I happen to like Cain.
While the nominee slimed far better conservatives than himself in order to win the nomination because 'it was his turn'. It takes two to tango, Michael.
Ha, the GOP's been running loser candidates (McCain and Romney), so if the GOP's "best winners" are that much of losers what does that say about the party?
You forget that Romney wasn't offered, he was actively pushed. Remember the fiascoes at the RNC? Remember the primaries where Romney was declared winner, with a later 'we were wrong'? Remember the Ron Paul supporters winning delegates through some good rules-lawyering, only to be denied when the results came out?
Nonsense! How is it that the two states those two represented both went for Romney? And by a very significant margin.
Conservatives are tired of being shoved to the back of the GOP bus!
