“Romney lost because the conservative virtues – the traditional American virtues – of liberty, hard work, free enterprise, private initiative and aspirations to moral greatness – no longer inspire or animate a majority of the electorate”
wrong.
The electorate is starving for a leader who holds and champions these values
Romney lost because he was not articulate and inspiring about those principles.
He may be a good man and a good able leader, BUUUT
with rare exceptions, Mitt’s public persona is that of an insipid elitist milktoast from a strange secretive quirky religious cult who had no fire in the belly to lead this nation and who stayed constantly on defense
Mittens kept his mouth shut about Barry Benghazi when he had the chance to stand up for those dead souls.
NO RINO will be able to inspire with these values because they don’t hold them except as campaign slogans.
LOL... democrats are better at using these values as hooks and they don’t even believe in them
Obama also knows that the electorate has changed – that whites will soon be a minority in America (they’re already a minority in California) and that the new immigrants to the US are primarily from the Third World and do not share the traditional American values that attracted immigrants in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is a different world, and a different America. Obama is part of that different America, knows it, and knows how to tap into it. That is why he won.
As long as this country continues to bring in 1.2 million legal immigrants a year, 87% of whom are minorities as classified by the USG, it will continue to descend into a third world country and tribal politics.
