Accurate piece.
Sadly, Romney was another Bob Dole...
Of course Romney was the problem....Romney and the globalist Bush/Rove RINO cabal that foisted him upon us !
He sure as heck wasn’t my first choice. The GOP Establishment needs to be taken over by Conservatives.
Yeah, he WAS the problem. Let’s ignore voter fraud, an entitlement mentality of over 50% of the country, a totally biased media, racism, and several other factors. Yep, Romney was the problem. If people actually believe this, the GOP, and the conservative movement in general is dead.
Absolutely dead on perfect. Romney was THE problem. It wasn’t anything else but Romney and the fools who pushed him on us.
If he’d fought as hard against Obama as he did other Republicans, he may actually have stood a chance.
But, he played patty cake and tried not to offend much.
Coupled with the demster vote fraud, he was another Bob Dole/John McCain weak candidate.
And yet another one we would not be able to trust because his record of governing was that of a solid liberal.
Thanks for posting this, Reset. Romney had an absolute target-rich environment in the 3rd debate - he could have nailed obozo to the wall over Benghazi, but chose not to. That whole debate should have been about Benghazi and obozo’s inability to defend those men who he watched in REAL TIME as they were murdered.
Several of us said all along he was the problem and we were accused of being DU trolls even if we have been here for over a decade.
Finally, everyone else is seeing what we saw
And if what I heard a couple of days ago on Fox News is correct, a big chunk of his campaign team has already started meeting with Jeb Bush.
So we've got that to look forward to.
Let me see....in 2008 McCain decided not to use Rev Wright and his terrorist pals against Obama. You dream about something like this falling in your lap!
Now Romney could not have used Rev Wright even if he had wanted to because of his own troubles with cult of his own...
Do not think he would have used it anyway. NOW in 2012 we have another scandal in Bengazi, again the kind of things you only dream of falling in your lap, but we do not use it.
Perhaps it would not have worked, I have no idea, maybe the American people or too many of them have just back slided to far to far
The fact that a Democrat, a anti Christian Democrat can be elected is a sign we are in the last days...not really news, I mean Kerry and Gore almost won
Also remember that the folks that voted for Obama are every bit as evil as him, anybody that has voted with Dems since 1972 or thereabouts is also anti Christian.
Hillary and the gang are every bit as evil as Obama, they all share same values
2016 prediction --
1) The GOP will nominate a moderate candidate indistinguishable on may issues from the Democrat candidate.
2) People will bitch & moan about how he/she is a RINO, etc and how they will NEVER, EVER vote for that person. And, if you say you will vote for that person you'll be subject to name-calling, ridicule, etc.
3) As the election draws near, those same people will turn 180 degrees & say voting for the RINO must be done, it is imperative, the future of the entire universe rests on electing that person, etc. And, if you say will not vote for that person you'll be subject to name-calling, ridicule, etc.
4) The GOP candidate goes down in flames. Again.
Not much of a prediction, really.
So, I suppose Romney is the problem as the GOP prepares to cave on tax increases for the rich in exchange for nothing at all?
The problem is the staggering stupidity of the right.
I am sick and tired of the predictable circular firing squads that come out every time we lose an election. And I am also sick and tired of every GOP candidate being compared to Ronald Reagan. There will only be one Reagan.
Was Romney perfect? Of course not. Did he flip flop? Of course, nearly all politicians do. Rule of thumb: When a candidate is flipping in YOUR direction, don’t complain about it.
Now does anyone think any of the other candidates could have won? Newt Gingrich with all of his personal baggage, Herman Cain with all of those women coming out of the woodwork? Ron Paul??? Michelle Bachmann who narrowly held on to her house seat? Rick Santorum who lost re-election in his home state by a whopping 18% then hightailed it out of PA to become a Washington lobbyist? Rick Perry who performed miserably in the debates?
Let’s get on with it and stop fighting yesterday’s battles. I’m sick of the blame game. We need to unite for a change and block Obama’s ruinous tax hikes and agenda these next four years. Our greatest enemy is ourselselves, our endless finger pointing, circular firing squads, and blame games. We need to be UNITED now more than ever if we want to stop Obama’s agenda these next four years.
I know people are writing articles that it is time to move on about the candidate being the wrong one/stories to accepting it and don’t bash him posts.. But..He was the problem .. republican moderates/dems lites rewriting the republican party platform is the disease and until the conservatives get back into leadership roles to make these other representatives stay in line, nothing can change. If we had a strong speaker, even in the worse of times, we would win some of these battles. Just image a young Newt leader(someone who is there to get work/reforms done) The current speaker has let us down. I wish he was a different type of leader. He’s one of the problems. He should be out front and center about all of these issues. Where is he? He needs to be strong (crack the whip, as they say) so the others follow a message vs some going off in a foreign place of ideas with a diluted message.
A charismatic personality is needed for our next candidate. Romney has never been accused of having that personality, but others show great promise in this area.
Charisma will be a determining factor for many cycles to come and we need to adapt to that need.
We need to hold all of the Republican primaries on the same day throughout all the states. By the time Texas has its primary there are only RINOs left.
Then he should've run as a an open Liberal instead of pretending to be a Conservative.
At least then we could finally put to rest the fool notion that The Republican Party needs to be more like The RAT Party in order to win elections.
Ask Scott Brown how that worked for him.
This double sucks. Not only did a Liberal Republican lose, The Right still gets blamed for it.
Screw it. I don't care. The truth is the truth. If people are too stupid or too lazy to figure that out for themselves, that's not going to stop me from spouting it.
Hmm... I was told by some (who happen to be of the RINO persuasion) that Romney should not get specific about what he will do."Obama's sinking himself"
Guess I wasn't really the "concerned troll" he or she tried to make me out to be, huh?
If the rats and the media’s main strategy was wage a war on women and they pulled it off against Romney.... Imagine what they would have done to Santorum.
