We're getting screwed either way.

[Diogenesis]

Romney was chosen to lose.

Chosen by Rove. Chosen by the DNC.
Chosen by Soros.

Chosen because HE is ineligible.
Chosen because HE invented gay marriage.
Chosen because HE invented ObamaCARE/ROmneyCARE>
Chosen because HE supports TARP and sharia.

And the RMNE LOVES him for it.

People were upset with me months ago when I stated how the people of Pennsylvania disliked Santorum and how he would not win his home state. Little did I know that confronting a loss there would lead to his demise.

[MacMattico]

Ted Kennedy was never going to lose that seat until he died.

An Obama second term would feature expanded use of executive orders, expanded abuses via administrative fiat, further retrenchment from military strength -- and a real effort to stack the judiciary with ideologues who will refuse to rein in these abuses. In fact, the likelihood is reasonably high that he will be able to replace a moderate or conservative on the Supreme Court with a statist ideologue -- and thus secure an Alinskyite vision of a power grab on behalf of radical aims.

THAT'S IT FOLKS....IN A NUTSHELL. FOUR MORE YEARS OF OBAMA AND THIS GREAT REPUBLIC AS WE ONCE KNEW IT IS OVER FOREVER!!! The only way to stop the Obama, Marxist Agenda in his second term (since most folks on here are convinced Obama is going to be reelected) is to keep the House and take the Senate. Since Romney can't beat Obama we must concentrate on the House and Senate.

I can’t think of a single issue important to conservatives that we wouldn’t have to concede for Romney.

He’s not a RINO, he’s an outright democrat running as a republican. We may as well have Joe Lieberman as our nominee.

[Happy Rain]

If the Mitt campaign can pretend Obama is a conservative—they would stomp his narrow butt big time.

[PreciousLiberty]

"The GOP establishment -- the money men, the consultants who so repeatedly spread the message that only Romney could beat Obama while they angled for a piece of the lucrative campaign pie, the hangers-on and officious kingmakers, and the cultural elitists who secretly share much of the big media's cultural attitudes and disdain for middle America -- now must prove they can actually deliver a victory. If they can't, the GOP should have a figurative bloodletting that banishes them forever from party power."

Worth repeating.

Further, if the GOP can't swing back to being a true small government, pro freedom party, it will be past time for an actual Tea Party that fields its own candidates against both Republicans and Dems.

Nonetheless, every conservative, and everybody who loves this country and cares about its traditions, its Constitution, and its freedom, should do nothing other than help that establishment succeed....

this is a bit of a non-sequitur, is it not?

[muir_redwoods]

I am no fan of Romney by any means but two points invalidate this article to some degree. 1) No Kennedy is, was Ir ever will be vulnerable in Massachusetts. A Kennedy could ax murder a nun on Boston common and get elected the next day. 2) Romney won a state-wide office as a republican in Massachusetts. This is a rare And wonderful thing even if he is a RINO

[Ronin]

The only thing I have to look forward to is the feeling of tired schadenfreude I am bound to experience when Mittens gets eviscerated and defenestrated by the MSM types who have been all buddy buddy with him these last few months.

It always happens — after the selected RINO chump is safely nominated.

Poor boy is going to be looking shell-shocked and teary-eyed soon...

[DH]

I have a seething hatred of all voters who were bought by Romney’s money. They placed a dagger into the heart of what was once a great country and the bastion of freedom.

Romney is the personification of what our elective process has become...vote buying. It does not matter which party for they all do it.

Special interests run this country now, not the common people. Buying votes by complete saturation of the media, advertising and the use of public facilities and churches has blitzed the simple minds of our country to believe that the individual who’s picture is is front of them the most times in a day is one you HAVE to vote for. For younger, more impressionable minds, it’s a social must to go for the most popular politician who lies to you and tells you what you want to hear.

It’s a sad, sad world we live in today within the blameless society.

Romney and the GOP has sealed our fate and it’s time for a new party to represent the true Americans that are left. The GOP cannot be fixed for the ones to fix it are the ones who are currently in there. The only way to remove them is to find someone who has more money (votes) than them...and that ain’t gonna happen.

Simply being not only a northeastern liberal but a Mormon are both deal breakers for me.

[EternalVigilance]

A horrid article.

The writer makes no principled arguments whatsoever - they’re all utilitarain - and then sells all principle down the river.

The Republican Party has gone insane.

[Vision]

Plus, he's a perfect caricature for Obama's anti-corporate-elite message to take root. Plus, he's plastic.

Barf. Americans want a business guy.

[G Larry]

Get over your crying in you beer soon, because by not getting behind the ONLY OPTION AVAILABLE, you ensure the destruction of America.

There is a vast difference between Obama’s “Burning the House Down” and Romney’s POTENTIAL for inadequately maintaining the home.

There will be no America to save in 4 years, if Obama stays in office.

[Peter from Rutland]

Whoever wrote this has no clue what they’re talking about. Even Jesus Christ himself couldn’t unseat Ted Kennedy. Death was the only salvation for us.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

This is a man who lost by 17 points to an incredibly weakened Ted Kennedy (people forget how vulnerable Kennedy was that year) in one of the most pro-Republican years in history, 1994

This isn't a fair knock. Jesus Christ himself, arising from the dead, could have run against Kennedy in 1994 and lost by double digits. Mitt actually looked pretty good for awhile, before Kennedy brought out the howitzer attack ads painting Mitt as a merciless capitalist who bought companies just to lay off poor black and hispanic wage earners.

[DTogo]

Conservatives would do far better for themselves to hold their noses and work hard for Romney than they would if they stood back, stayed home, and watched the forces of Big Government complete their extreme makeover of American society.

Letting the country burn just because your candidate for Fire Chief didn't win is NOT an option.

Algebra 101:

(Mitt Romney) + (1 personality) + (1.5 libidos) - $200000000 = Bill Clinton
