” Finally! Thomas Sowell pointed the finger to the root of the problem - it’s not “demographics” or sudden change of ideology (2010 “shellacking” was not so long ago) - it’s the lack of conservatism in all Republican presidential candidates ever since Reagan left the White House. “
I posted the same on another thread.
” Romney doesn’t need to “apologize for his success” in making money, but it doesn’t make him a “businessman” or a “job creator” and as a politician he was nothing but a failure, from his run for Senate, to his one term as a liberal Governor of MA, to failing to win a nomination against widely despised by conservatives and badly outspent John McCain despite pouring $50M of his own money. No wonder he found such a firm support from GOP-e in the next cycle - he was the most liberal and Bush-like in the bunch.
That leads to stupid mistakes like “I like to fire people” and “47%” (many people who don’t pay income taxes and/or receive some form of permanent or temporary government assistance - e.g., military, temporarily out of work, retired etc. - are not freeloaders) or accusing Obama of “picking losers” (Solyndra, Ener1, A123 etc.), as if government “picking winners”> would be OK - so Obama nailed him with GM and Chrysler who are now declared “winners” because they are in business, with little debt and profitable - courtesy of taxpayers, of course.
Free advice to GOP, which they won’t hear, won’t see and won’t take - Stop picking losers! “
Hey, how bout that??
BUMP!
I really like the above comments.
I saw this during the R primary, Romney was the LAST person who could win a debate on redistribution, himself being a rich detached elitist. It was a recipe for disaster. Then he helps Obama with the 47% comments intended to raise R campaign cash while insulting half the country before the election.
The Knee-jerk Republicans fall in line behind the super rich Romney's simply because Dems demonize them.
And did you notice that now when we no longer have to make belief Mitt was a good candidate how many Rs appear to actually believe he was Now even though he lost?
Common sense rule : Don't get high on your own supply.
The 2011 to 2012 Boehner/Tea party house did a great job of delaying the spending cuts till after O was elected(delayed cuts).
Worse yet the prior congress Senate Republican minority in late 2010 won a great victory to keep taxes from going up till AFTER Obama was safely re-elected, go Republicans! You gave Obama an issue. You kept the economy from tanking before the his re-election,
And then Romney picks Ryan. I was never impressed with Ryan but to team him with Romney was absolutely stupid. He had no appeal outside of the R cult. Another boring white guy. HELL, they even lost WI !!! Yet Walker did great in WI even after being targeted by Dems.
Too many things done wrong, then the hoax that all the polls were biased for Dems so it must be voter fraud now.
Don't get high on your own supply (believe your own BS). it just hurts more in the end.
