Actually, the last time the Republicans ran a Romney type against an Obama type was in 1972, and Nixon won 60% of the vote, 49 states and 520 electoral votes. And just like Romney, Nixon was despised by most of those that voted for him, I still remember my dad saying that Nixon was the biggest asshole ever, but Mcgovern would destroy the country if elected. Now I know the country has changed a lot since then, but the conditions this election season seem to be the same. Do I like Romney, hell no, but just like my dad in 1972, I will do my duty, I owe it to his memory.

Actually, that was pre-internet which means conservatives and conservative activists are much more informed about the record of that lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal Mitt Romney, it was pre-Obama, a crypto-Communist with a no holds barred approach to destroying his opponents and lying about anything, basically a much worse type of Democrat than what Nixon had to face.

It was also Pre-Reagan, we had not won for many cycles, we had not experienced what a real conservative was like, and any Republican would actually do.

I also, correct me if I am wrong, believe that there is no comparision between the scorched-earth, dirty-rotten tricks and out and out lying that Romney did to destroy his opponents in the GOP primary and whatever Nixon may have done.

Nixon was very moderate, almost liberal in a lot of his views.

Romney's record IS lying, left-wing, and Progessive Liberal.

There is only a passing resemblence between the two campaigns, that is between Romney and Nixon.

I'm not buying it. It's Lucy holding the football, and I'm not Charlie Brown.

And before you badmouth Nixon too much, you might think about the things he did manage to do. Like get elected. Twice.

Do what you like. Romney is another liberal in a long line of losers that the GOP has tried to cram down the conservative throat.

There was no internet in Nixon's time, or Johnson would have topped out at school teacher or convicted felon.

It's a brave new world.

I think the comparison between Romney and Nixon is accurate. I’ve been thinking the same lately.

He’s another tricky dick with strong socialist tendencies running against a committed communist who hates America.

Deja Vu 1972 all over again.
