Is the author the same Rachel Alexander who had her law license suspended by the Arizona Supreme Court last year for unethical conduct?

If conservatives are such a bother to the minuscule “moderate” faction of the GOP, perhaps it is time conservatives launch their own party. Let’s see how many elections the Romney/Christie/Kristol moderates win then.

[OneWingedShark]

Mitt Romney was criticized for being too moderate of a Republican presidential candidate, yet he ran the most conservative campaign as the Republican nominee for president we have seen since Ronald Reagan.

LOL
1 -- Romney is a Fabian socialist, a progressive, not a moderate.
2 -- Romney "running a conservative campaign" is like Ted Kennedy running a MADD convention: it's better to look at actions than what they're spouting off.

The 1%........ the sanctimonious selfrighteousists

They are alive and well and suffer shoulder pain from constantly patting themselves on the back

Romney is not any sort of "moderate." He is a Progressive. He would go to the same place as the kenyan wishes to go. The kenyan is more inclined to Revolution and confrontation. Romney is a Fabian. The kenyan fancies himself as a Lenin. Romney is a socialist manager, more like the French socialists. Unfortunately Romney is a Republican and so are most of the Tea Party people once they get elected. They are all Fabians.
Or abject cowards.

Ann Coulter can get away with making shocking political statements, but former Virginia Governor George Allen, former Missouri Congressman Todd Akin, and former Indiana Congressman Richard Mourdock cannot.

The latter two on this list were thrown under the bus not only by the GOP-E but also by 'vote for the R' posters on this very forum. Unless I'm misinterpreting the meaning of this supposedly intellectual piece, it looks like the author is trying to have it both ways.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

It isn’t “one percent” sweetie. Passing a budget with no real spending cuts that hikes taxes on the rich is a pretty big disagreement. We played your game with George “Lyndon Baines” Bush and the “Republican” Congress in the early part of the 2000s and got absolutely nothing. No spending cuts, no shrinkage of government. Instead we got new entitlements and Bush’s “compassionate conservatism”.

You can quit pretending, we easily see you prefer nobama. Did you secretly vote for the marxist too?

The progressive anti-Americans thank you. Enjoy in the ruin of freedom and liberty.

Romney is "Conservative" like PIGS FLY.

Romney was a backstabber of Gov. Palin and every real Conservative.

[NTHockey]

The Whigs are out in full force. How many times do they have to say that they don’t want Conservatives in the their party before we wake up? The Whigs are a dying breed; no amount of “taking the party back” will change that.

Time to move on. Remember that the Whig party went from electing a President in 1844 and 1848, only to disappear after failing in the 1852 election.

[Diogenesis]

It was Romney that put in Obama. No one else.

Team Romney's TYPICAL Dirty Tricks:

"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

Poor sport spoiler Romney doing what he does best:

Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"

Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson."

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."

You can quit pretending, we easily see you prefer nobama.

I've made it no secret that I consider Romney and Obama to be the same politically. (What Romney says is of little impact; what he has done, however, is basis for this.) Nor have I hid my opinion that it is possible a Romney presidency would be worse than a second Obama term: simply because he would not seriously roll back any of the tyrannies and instead simply make our overbearing government seem to have a kinder & gentler hand, when in reality simply offering a more "acceptable form of tyranny.

Did you secretly vote for the marxist too?

Nope, I've been quite vocal about my stance: I will not vote for any candidate whose only 'positive' is "I'm not the other guy."
I voted third-party, Gary Johnson, simply because I know what he's about and believe him to be the superior candidate (he was NM's governor, was reelected while it was still SOLIDLY democrat, and left office with a sizable budget surplus).

The progressive anti-Americans thank you. Enjoy in the ruin of freedom and liberty.

Really? I suppose they ought to be thanking you, after all is it not you who are railing against me for voicing an opinion not your own? Is it not that behavior they want, because just like in compromise betwixt good and evil -- where good always suffers and evil wins ground -- progressives win when people are forced to choose between "really progressive" & "not quite as progressive."

In short, your accusation has the same character as "did you quit beating your wife yet? Yes or no."

The international banking cartel makes or breaks Republican candidates (as well as Democrats).

They are the ones who ultimately decide who they want and let their media machine (check out the board of directors of news organizations) know who to smear and who to make into a winner.

All the “issues” are just campaign fodder as far as the bankers are concerned.

“Let me issue and control a nation’s money, and I care not who writes its laws.”

 Actually, the left wing has a pretty accurate take on Rachel Alexander.

The GOP-e is probably shunning her like the plague these days despite s#ck-up articles like this one posted on FR.
