Voter fraud in Ohio, Florida and Virginia did him in.

Read Zombies “The Secret Life of Willard Mitty” for a good take on the Mitt Mind. I think Steve Sailor has the best summation for the failure that was the Romney 10 year Campaign!

I read that from the son and your reaction was my reaction: treasonous.

If not to the nation, then certainly to those who yearned for the guiding hand of a conservative president. (Which Mitt wouldn’t have been....but...can of worms...)

I think the loser Romney was picked by the GOPe w/ the intention to clear a nomination for red Jeb Bush in 2016. I loved how all the hard-on for Romney/Ryan Freepers were so Full of Shitte stupid and meek but erupted into savage warriors with the mere mention of PAUL! I will not vote for any BUSH in 2016.

Romney lost because the Republican Party is the political equivalent of the “bad guy” in any WWE pro wrestling event.

Right on. The GOP is not stupid or spineless. Its not bad luck, idiot voters, the "liberal" media, or those wascally ol' Democrats.

Mitt Romney took a dive like a Don King boxer. And it wasn't for money or fame or pride. It's because he agrees with Obongo's agenda or, more precisely, the agenda of the men that pull Barry's strings.

Mitt was there to keep any real Christian conservative from winning. He relished that role because he hates Christian conservatives like his Dad did.

Yup---you nailed it.

The "plan" was a Bush dynasty---until stupid Dubya got duped by the pukeneos---and installed them in the WH Office of Special Ops. ONLY the pukes had the list of Mideast countries the US was to invade without provocation.

War profiteering were never from the pukes sordid little minds---Puke guru Richard Perle is starting an oil company in Iraq with his share of billions.

===========================================

Now, when we hear "Bush" we think "debacle---trillions of US dollars down those hellholes and rivers of young blood shed."

BTW---the opportunistic pukes are still loitering around politicians --- Rubio hired a puke for his planned 2016 campaign (barf bag, please).

I guess Perle needs another couple hundred billion US tax dollars for his oil business. (cackle)

” Who could believe there was a candidate stupider than McCain-—but there was-—and his name was Romney.”

I shudder to think who the next stupid, nonconservative fool will be....

Romney could do fine when focused on making money with his largely Mormon friends, and with the Mormons behind him to boost his efforts and public profile and coming from a family of wealth, power, and celebrity, but he is terrible when trying to operate in the world of regular Americans, and in elective politics.

I call it Madonna smarts, Madonna has made three times Romney’s money, not because she is broadly, widely, brilliant like a Reagan, but because she is bright, and is single mindedly focused on making money, kind of the way a cat can appear smart because his focus is so narrow and concentrated.

Romney should have listened to me. I'd. Been posting since March what the poll trends were saying, both in the Senate and the Electoral College.

“free stuff” works.

I know of one, yes an anecdote, conservative who went to the evil side because he applied for disability and thought obama paper pushers would be more likely to give it to him. (no clue what his disability is or would be since he does not show) Either way, he is a person not to hire or go into business with.

I think that it was running pro-abortion ads is what hurt him, especially in Ohio.

Running pro-choice ads, and coming out against the party's pro-life platform just before the election, is no way to turn out the voters of the pro-life party.

Stu Stevens abandoned the competence theme after the first debate when he turned chicken.

He also ran a very INcompetent campaign. Orca failed miserably, along with Rove, whose playbook Stevens used.

A friend of mine has been on the inside of over 25 campaigns. He said he this was among the worst he's seen. If he had half of the money Romney and his PAC's did, we'd have a different winner.

So we are supposed to believe that Romney, a man who achieved such success in business, went out and hired a team of idiots to win?

I do.

A lot of CEO's delegate. I see it with candidates quite often too. They like to meet people and focus on what they can control. Admin is someone else's job. Their manager sees this slick new program that sounds great. ORCA. Perfect. It evens the score from the dems. Right? If it works....

Consultants from DC are in a bubble and use that to try and affect campaign message. Doesn't work either.

put against a black thug street fighter.

Not even close. Obama was a privileged kid like Romney.

The other parts I don't disagree with, but an old school fighter would have at least given us all a chance.

That you're dumb enough to use a term like "halfrican" tells me that you will never get it. Obama was never going to lose. Romney had no viable path to victory.

The power of incumbency, the "historical nature" of his presidency, his celebrity status and pitch for a mulligan ensured Obama had a lock no matter who or what Republicans nominated. It was further undermined by the strategy of divide-and-conquer that ensured Pontius Pilot "conservatives" sat out at the polls and GOTV efforts.
