Why Mitt Lost and it Wasn’t Very Close

Thank you. You are right. I keep waiting to hear Rush, Sean, Glenn, or Fox News say the same thing. Maybe they have and I’ve missed it...but I lay the fault for Romney losing at the feet of the MSM. If they had not covered up the Benghazi story like they did, Romney would have won, period.

For sure! Globalism serve citizen of the world, globalists.

Axe Homeland Insecurity, hand rape at airports and restore the constitution.

Go after the gang bangers and all crime by condemning the crime in the cities. Run against the lib VIOLENT crime rate and less police state micro-management in our lives. (Safety attracts the empty head vagina voters! We can appeal to Mexicans who had to flee murder.)

Now about the drug war...we need to figure this out because the cops are are acting like apes in the jungle with the excuse of the drug war. The DOJ are conducting themselves like we are a thrid world nation war ground where they pal up with one drug operation and use them to conduct war on the other drug lords - slaughtering citizens in the mean time.

If we legalize drugs to kill the cartels and the cop abuse, what do we do with drug addicts who can’t keep themselves out of the gutters because Liberals will use legalization to coddle them with socialist housing, health care, EBT cards, drug treatment programs and programs and programs, etc. What do we do to protect children from themselves and teen temptation.

Libertarians, you have nothing to contribute on this question. You are darwinistic retards.

That why you tax the stuff. It provides a revenue stream that pays for all of the above.

Taxing drug sales to provide rehab actually makes sense if you think about it. The users fund their own programs and you can have a HUGE tax rate on it. Think about tobacco taxes and how high they are. Then apply that principle to the drugs you legalize.

It also gets people out of jails. If its a tax issue then it is handled differently, usually with little jail time at all if any.

Mitt was a heck of a closer approximation to that than Barack is...

So are any number of Democrats, but I sure don't want them running things either.

You have to realize that where you’re going, you really ought to vote only for Jesus Christ.

However, Jesus Christ will need no ballot.

[SoConPubbie]

Anybody but somebody like Mitt Romney who supports Abortion and the Gay Agenda and whose Progressive record as record should make any honest man blush. Add in that he can arguably be called the Father of Gay Marriage and the Father of Socialized Medicine in America, and he should have been the last man the GOP-E picked if they really wanted to win.

Many of us spent months warning conservatives on this site that this would occur.

Conservatives need to stop playing the abused wife to the GOP-E and just say no, and mean it, whenever they attempt to force us into voting for their latest Progressive loser.

That really was a disengenous reply.

All Mitt Romney had to do to win this election was to reverse course on his Abortion and Gay Agenda stances, and actually provided a credible plan to reduce dramatically the size of government which would have shored up his right flank and the independents, and he would have trounced Obama.

If you want to falsely equate that with Jesus Christ, go right ahead. What a joke of a response.

Given Obama utter and complete failure as President and his lousy record, if Romney had just tried to be a conservative, and present a clear differentiation between his approach and Obama's, this election would have been a cake walk.

[SoConPubbie]

Well, guess what he lost and you are still hysterical and panicked.

Hey svcw, you do know I'm on your side on this one, right?

[D-fendr]

But who?

Who is that you would have run that would have beaten Obama?

[D-fendr]

Conservatives need to stop playing the abused wife to the GOP-E

You likely don't even realize how insulting that is.

We have an admittedly weak field of candidates, but that's who stepped up for battle. We pick our favorite and fight against each like crazy throughout the primary - perhaps 20 percent behind any one, but when the fight is over we unite behind the winner against Obama. And we go down fighting.

Then some conspiracy theorist above it all sideliner, who has done nothing but throw rock all along, calls us abused wives.

Shame on you. I have lost all respect.

Try to chase down a sinless man... you won’t.

So your threshold is quite arbitrary. I am not at all “disingenuous.”

[HarleyD]

Although he was my last choice, Mitt Romney was a great candidate. People need to quit this second guessing the GOP and focus on the fact that half the country believes in a socialist government. They can argue that there were groups of illegal voters, people want government handouts, the GOP are catering to certain groups, etc. But the real bottom line is that half the people want socialism. This election shouldn't have been close.

This isn't unlike post-Nazi Germany where the people abandoned democratic principles and voted in Hitler.

[Einigkeit_Recht_Freiheit]

Is the article than saying that what the GOP is a mean, angry man? Cause, we here is Germany have some experience with a particular leader of that variety and it didn’t turn out too well. Reagan was a nice guy too.

“we need to stop doing that! I.e. throwing way too much taxpayer money at public schools teachers’ unions, for way too little educational result”

You are saying that public schools are dysfunctional, ineffective and waste taxpayer money. I agree.

When someone says something is dead it means it no longer exists. Actually, “brick and mortar” can't be “dead” but I will accept the intended meaning.

To say brick and mortar education no longer exists is simply incorrect. Online education is becoming more common. My kids took online courses. But brick and mortar education still uses billions of taxpayer dollars each year.

[SoConPubbie]

Try to chase down a sinless man... you won’t.

We're not talking about a sinless man.

We're talking about finding leaders who don't purposefully do the wrong thing.

Like I said, disengenuous.

I am a protectionist. More-so every single day.

Me, too, brother.

A global economy requires a global lawgiver and a global police power.

I want none of it.

If you need to eat by feeding Chinamen, then move to f***ing China.

You can say that again.
