Romney reflects on his loss in call with campaign donors

LA Times ^

[Arthurio]

Mitt Romney told his top donors Wednesday that his loss to President Obama was a disappointing result that neither he nor his top aides had expected, but said he believed his team ran a “superb” campaign with “no drama,” and attributed his rival’s victory to “the gifts” the administration had given to blacks, Hispanics and young voters during Obama’s first term.

Obama, Romney argued, had been “very generous” to blacks, Hispanics and young voters. He cited as motivating factors to young voters the administration’s plan for partial forgiveness of college loan interest and the extension of health coverage for students on their parents’ insurance plans well into their 20s. Free contraception coverage under Obama’s healthcare plan, he added, gave an extra incentive to college-age women to back the president.

Romney argued that Obama’s healthcare plan’s promise of coverage “in perpetuity” was “highly motivational” to those voters making $25,000 to $35,000 who might not have been covered, as well as to African American and Hispanic voters. Pivoting to immigration, Romney said the Obama campaign’s efforts to paint him as “anti-immigrant” had been effective and that the administration’s promise to offer what he called “amnesty” to the children of illegal immigrants had helped turn out Hispanic voters in record numbers.

“The president’s campaign,” he said, “focused on giving targeted groups a big gift — so he made a big effort on small things. Those small things, by the way, add up to trillions of dollars.”

What most refuse to acknowledge is that it was unlikely that ANYBODY could have beaten the voter fraud planned and perpetrated by the Obama machine. They seem to prefer pointing fingers, blaming Romney and blathering on about Patraeus' sex life.

Col Allen West; "I don't want to see America become like Zimbabwe where people don’t trust their electoral process. If we cannot trust the integrity of the voting system then we are no longer a free republic".

Col West has opened the door.

We must fight election fraud.

It falls on ‘We the People’.

Excerpt from Mitt Romney's reference:

These elections are NOT certified yet. The only way to get this investigated, much less recounted or overturned, is through the Secretary of State of each of the five key states: Florida, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. EVEN IF YOU ARE IN ANOTHER STATE you can help. But it won’t do any good to dilute our effort to challenge California or Michigan or other states. Until a major group gets involved to do more, here is the plan: Contact the Secretary of State of the state in question. See contact information below...

“he hurt the ticket and was devastating for conservatism.”

I don’t think so.. I this point in time we needed a CEO not a priest. (Although we might need a priest in 4 years)

I can overlook his history because I think he would have been good for the country and the world by setting America on it’s feet. That and I think Obama is way worse socially.

At the beginning of this we all thought the country wasn’t too far gone - that the people who voted cared about issues and the country as whole.... we was all wrong.

[ansel12]

I don’t think so.. I this point in time we needed a CEO not a priest. (Although we might need a priest in 4 years)

Romney is currently a Priest, and was the equivalent of a Catholic Bishop, Mitt Romney is the only high ranking church official to ever be the presidential nominee, and is currently in the process of becoming a God.

Romney did not start his presidential run until he received permission in a personal meeting with his Holy Prophet.

The reality is that this is today, not the day before the election, and we know that Mitt was a disaster and couldn't even beat Carter 2, Mitt proved to be everything that FR said he was.

Even now, after 20 years of running for office, and 7 years of running for president and investing 55 million dollars of his own money, no one knows what his politics are, or why he was obsessed with being president, or what his involvement in politics is about, or why he left democrat politics in October 1993, having rejected Reagan, to return to the republican party.

Romney has left no mark, no 'Romneyisms', no agenda or theme, no anything on American politics or conservatism, it is as though he never existed, unless you return to the Romney of Massachusetts and Romneycare, and the homosexual agenda.

[mike_9958]

“Romney is currently a Priest”

You realize I was being sarcastic right ?

I understand Romney gives you alot of angst but I still think he would have been way better than Obama...

It sounds like you would rather have Obama and I can not imagine why... the guy has been an absolute proven failure for the last 4 years.

Yeah say Romney was the worst the Republicans could have chosen - that would still be better than Obama.

Relax, Obama is still your president. (sorry that was mean)

[ansel12]

I don’t think that you knew that he was an active priest, but I did notice that you suddenly abandoned the topic and launched into a pure personal attack of no relevance and for no reason.

[mike_9958]

“launched into a pure personal attack”

I said I was sorry... right after I wrote it, yeah in retrospect I should of used the backspace key...duh

I just get tired of people blaming Romney and badmouthing him but giving Obama a pass. Like thinking if Romney was pres it would be worse the what we are going to endure for the rest of my life.

[ansel12]

Romney does not belong in republican politics at all, at any level.

Now, for all the destruction that he has brought to the party in the last 7 years, he is disappearing like a wisp of smoke, he is a chameleon that left no marks or legacy except for what lives within the left’s health care and homosexual agenda, the legacy of Mitt’s single term in political office.

[mike_9958]

“Romney does not belong in republican politics at all, at any level.”

You can keep saying that - but it doesn’t make it true.

Romney was probably the last practical politician we will see in a long long time, meaning a person who didn’t grow up as politician like Obama, or Clinton or even a Rubio or Ryan. Romney made his millions the old fashion way, he earned it. So yeah, he may be a crummy politician, but he understood what it meant to serve and govern - even in a liberal state like Massachusetts.

[ansel12]

The reality is the opposite of what you described, Bishop Mitt Romney, son of Bishop George Romney, grew up in politics, liberal politics, anti-conservative, anti-Reagan politics, pro-abortion politics, taking a break to get rich, and then to exact revenge on the treatment of his political family by the right, while at the same time adding president to his score card, and fulfilling the “White Horse Prophecy” and earning the eternal gratitude of his cult.

You might not know who his parents were, 2 term Governor and anti-war presidential candidate George Romney, and pro-abortion Senate candidate mother, Lenore.

Romney has been a political animal all of his life, starting as a republican intern in his early teens, attending the 1964 convention, being an activist in college and then evading the draft, participating in campaigns and political interviews all of his life (including the 1960s), leaving the republican party because of Reagan in 1979, donating to campaigns, becoming a supporter of democrats and a democrat fund raiser and voter, and running for office for the last 20 years while spending about 55 million of his own funds and breaking spending records in multiple campaigns.

Even Ann has run for political office.

Romney isn’t practical, he isn’t anything, my guess is that you do not even know his current position on abortion and the party platform in that regard.

[mike_9958]

Ansel I know he started Bain and was a successful business man.

I know Reagan was a democrat - so .....

I know of his political involvement and his family’s.

I don’t know why the history of Romney is important because it is better than Obamas ?

You still seem obsessed with Romney but are giving Obama a pass, when the point is Romney is light years better than Obama would be for this country....simple

[ansel12]

I don’t know if you are just trolling or what.

What do you want, to run the loser pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, proRomneycare, lefty from Massachusetts again?

Do you want to try to make some weird connection of WWII era Reagan and the anti-Reagan Romney 60 years later?

Do you want to turn a thread called “Romney reflects on his loss in call with campaign donors”, into not discussing Romney’s loss and him as a loser?

Any conservative can see why we conservatives despise the man, what we can’t see, is why you are so devoted to him, hopefully you held your nose and voted for him out of desperation, but it is starting to look like you PREFER the anti-conservative types.

[mike_9958]

Ansel - I believe you are trolling:

Who but a dem would argue against the Rep nominee and not include one bad element about Obama or the dems ?

Who but a dem would dragged up a ton of history on Romney and never once compare that to any of the Obama history ?

Who but a dem would focus solely on the social perspectives (not facts) of a man’s state of mind without observing the factual effects of his competitor on the state of Union ?

You have crossed the thin line from extreme right to actually being more useful to the left than to any conservative cause or candidate - or you are just trolling.

[ansel12]

Welcome to freerepublic and conservatives, and you seem to be pushing the left’s agenda as, now that the election is over, and the curse of the Massachusetts liberal disaster is removed from influence, you continue to push his liberal agenda, as you try to rewrite history and lie about Mitt, hoping to keep liberalism alive in the GOP.

Thank you for the welcome.... and I invite you to live the conservative dream of FREEDOM rather than to fight it, or run from it. You may feel frustrated because of what you feel but be aware these are your “feelings” an not necessarily reality. And as terrible as liberal social paradigms are, you too are punishing people for what they BELIEVE rather than what they do.

Be assured the next time you turn on the news and Obama is on you can rest with thought that you are aligned with the folks that put him in office. (whether you think you are conservative or not)

And quoting Jim to me isn’t super helpful. I have great respect for Jim as a fellow conservative and entrepreneur (and programmer), but anybody who thinks the Obama administration deserved another four years is wrong, under any circumstance.

These next 4 years will take decades to unwind, and now people like you can go to sleep a night wondering how much misery have you have caused because of their “feelings”, and aligning yourself with the folks that put Obama in office. Be proud Ansel be very proud.

[ansel12]

You seem confused, this thread is a postmortem on Romney.

The election is over, you can quit campaigning for the most radical, leftist, anti-freedom republican in history, and engage in the the thread defending conservatism, and discussing Romney’s loss.

You don’t need to keep fighting for liberalism, this is about Romney’s loss, it is over for him.

[mike_9958]

“You seem confused, this thread is a postmortem on Romney.”

I don’t think I’m confused - I just don’t agree with assessment of the postmortem. I believe it is shortsighted and harmful to the conservative cause as a whole.

And I’ll quit campaigning for Romney when you quit campaigning against him, because yes Romney wasn’t the most socially conservative candidate the Repubs could have nominated, but he was nominated. And he didn’t lose because of your perceived liberal bias. Try to pay attention.

And yes, if it’s over for Romney I’d like to invite you to try to understand some other more plausible perceptions on why Romney lost instead of trying tear down a man who ran a race. Your assessment is silly. A postmortem is useful if you are honest and objective in looking at ALL the facts, not a just one that isn’t a fact but a perception based on a set of different political circumstances.

Lastly, I’m not fighting for liberalism, I’m fighting against Obama vs you who is tearing down Republicans and disenfranchising conservatives.... thereby supporting liberalism.

You’re going to get dizzy if you keep spinning....

[ansel12]

No, you are fighting for liberalism, and Mitt Romney, and whoever the next liberal is that the GOPe produces, and you are fighting against conservatism.

Your biggest complaint about conservatism is probably the social issues, they annoy liberals to no end.

You can cling to Mitt for as long as you want, but that story is over, except for the gaffes and bizarre statements that he will mess up with occasionally, but he won’t run again.

After 20 years, it is clear the man sucks as a candidate, he is only worse in office.

The most hard left man to ever lead the GOP ticket.

Mitt Romney was weaned on politics, he was born into a politically aggressive, liberal, anti-conservative family in which dad became a Governor and a national figure, ending in a liberal presidential run, and mother was a 1970 liberal Senate candidate.

Romney has always known and lived his liberal convictions, and his anti-conservative drive for revenge against the conservatives of the GOP, the Reagan/Palin/teaparty types who he shuns and insults even as he gains control of their party today.

Romney was anti-Reagan, he left the GOP and from 1989 to 1993 only gave money to, and fund raised for democrat candidates, he voted for Paul Tsongas in 1992, he was giving to and fund raising for Planned Parenthood in 1994.

His father had run against Reagan for the Presidency in 1968, Mitt Romney and his father formally protested the victory of the conservatives at the 1964 GOP convention in which Goldwater was nominated and Reagan gave his famous speech. Romney was anti-conservative in every way during the first 59 years of his life.

ROMNEYQUOTES
“Reagan was adamantly pro-choice”

“Look, I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I’m not trying to return to Reagan-Bush.”

“I’m not a partisan politician. My hope is that, after this election, it will be the moderates of both parties who will control the Senate, not the Jesse Helmses.”

“These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense,” Romney said. “They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.”

“I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share.”

Do you think that Mitt was just merely confused a little about his core “Reaganite” beliefs during the the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and the 2000s, until 2006 at age 59 when he started his run for President, the second such run in a row for his family?
