"Reince" Prebus- RESIGN NOW
You people are CLUELESS
During the primaries it was obvious that 7 out of 10 GOP voters WANTED SOMEONE MORE CONSERVATIVE than Romney, you forced him on us
YOU ARE TO BLAME FOR THIS LOSS and the continuation of this Obamanation on The Republic
Did Ronald Reagan "reach across the aisle" or did he win with strong conservativ eagenda?
WE LOST TO A COMMUNIST BOOB
No, this is what you get when the people are brain washed. Oh and give them freebies, lie, lie, lie, commit voter fraud, don’t allow voter identification, lie some more, intimidate people so they are afraid to put up yard signs for the more conservative candidate due to the vandalism that has been done to those who did, take Glenn Beck off the air, produce a forged birth certificate, yet have the majority of media look the other way; Also this is what a country gets when it covers up for murder and blames the killings on a video so as to advance the muslim agenda. This is what a country gets when people such as Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Eric Holder, Feenstein (the list goes on and on) hold powerful offices. This is what one gets when the “one nation under God” inhabitants allow its babies to be murdered, allow pornographic material to be shown on TV, even at early hours to pollute the innocent children, and shun God, shun prayer, and shun giving with a cheerful heart to God and His causes.
Because He said, “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Sorry to all you patriots who have faithfully fought this battle. Our enemy roams around as a prowling lion seeking who he may devour. Don’t give up! Resist the enemy and he will flee from you. If you are in Christ, greater is He that is in you, then he that is in the world.
I hope Saint Rick doesn’t get another chance because it is his “turn”. He is another loser.
Listen dumb ass, no Republican candidate was moral or decent or seasoned enough. At least Romney knew how to keep his pecker in his pants.
Look no adulterer will ever be good enough. We needed someone exactly like Romney. The voters were stupid and lazy and immoral and the Democrats ran for the second time someone who does not qualify.
Who did you want?
The person we should really be blaming is that bastard Chris Christie
Hah hah hah!
That was funny...

No need to drill down. The proximate causes of the loss are demographics, takers, corrupt MSm and certain womens irrational concern with their vaginas.
I think Newt could articulate a good defense of his past; people do make mistakes and, hopefully, learn from them... Romney showed nothing in the way of reforming to [in writing we call it developing character] the conservative side, it was facade and I think people knew it.
As for Ron Paul, yes he's getting up there in years... but he may have been "righter than wronger" on the Osama Bin Ladin issue: the "speedy 'cleanup'" [sea burial] was mighty suspicious, and it would have been more old-style justice [and considering the part of the world, may have been more respected] to lay the body out for public viewing. (IIRC Paul advocated using letters of marque and reprisal rather than the war on terror, and I think that may have been a better idea.) But bringing up the issue would go badly for Obama: he didn't issue the 'go' order.
In your mind no Republican could have defeated, the second Jimmy Carter?
How loyal are you to this failed Massachusetts Governor that has won a single election in 20 years of running (with less than 50%), and was forced out of that office with 34% approval?
” How would have things turned out if Ron Paul, Santorum or Herman Cain got the nomination instead of Romney ? “
They all would have lost by even more. 6 point losses instead of squeakers.
Yeah. I think Romney was our best shot as a candidate from the crew we had to choose from, which wasn’t great.
He proved to be a damn good man who worked his ass off. And he would have made a great CEO of America.
We have a demographic problem here and it isn’t just Mexicans and blacks. I’ve been watching those shots of Obama’s victory party. That audience is packed with women between 25-50 years old. And none of them have a husband or boyfriend next to them.
We’ve let the family get destroyed by the welfare machine and now the single woman has married the federal government and Barack Obama.
well that is a real good point. No men around, all babbies that want mommy to support them, so why bother. If men would really take care of their wives and families instead of having affairs................
“The bottom line is Obama won because he was black”
***************************
I think Obama won the first time in part because he was black. This time, not so much. This win is bigger than Obama or his skin color.
You are right, TT. It wasn’t Romney’s fault. Or the GOP’s fault. Or the media’s. Or . . . or . . . or.
This one is on the American people (or at least the majority). At the 1992 Republican convention, Pat Buchanan said we were in a culture war. All hell broke loose. How could he say such a thing?
Twenty years later we’re still in the war. Actually, we may have already lost it. I believe we’ll know within the next few years.
in the Bloggers & Personal forum, on a thread titled Dear GOP: This is what you get when you run a candidate that 70% of REPULICANS didn’t even want, achilles2000 wrote:
They gave conservatives a crap sandwich, and then the imbecile brigade on FR pissed on anyone who criticized Mittens because he was allegedly the better alternative
Yea I know we went along and would have been better off except he never had the guts to call Obama what he is a socialist nor call his programs and policies for what they were.
GOT THAT RIGHT; and I am in KALIFORNIA, so my vote didn’t even count.
Might I suggest the TEA PARTY!!!
Romney won 49% of the popular vote, and was 1% from winning the presidency. He got 95% of the Republican vote.
Now, you tell me, which Tea Party candidates won swing-state Senate races?
“When we are offered Democrap or Democrap Lite WE ALL LOSE”
And when we offered Akin, Mourdock, George Allen, Josh Mandel and Smith in PA ... they lose TOO.
So where are these magical uber-conservative candidates who will sweep 60% of the voters off their feet and win the races we need won?
THE PROBLEM IS BIGGER AND MORE OMINOUS THAN YOU THINK. It’s about 50% of the electorate voting for more socialism.
Something to remember people is Obama won by fewer votes than he won last time, the first time in almost 70 years . Republicans retained control of the House. Charles Krauthamer correctly pointed out this is hardly a mandate
“The democrats have learned something the republicans have not. Half the voting-age population doesn’t vote, because they don’t care. So they have spent years becoming the party of the big city. Now, they simply pick some stupid small issue, like contraceptives, and use it to scare people. They then run around and register all those people, who could otherwise care less about anything, and hand them ballots, and those people vote democrat.”
BRILLIANTLY STATED.
Of course it occurs to me that if you know your voters demographically, it aint to hard to do the voter registration get-them-voting thing. Cities are now 80/20% for Democrats and we Republicans should try to make them 60/40%. It’s hard when the media is against you.
The GOP used to be real good about this back in the day, via the Christian Coalition etc. but the fracturing of libertarian vs social conservatives vs RINOs is killing our party. We are more divided and that makes us lose.
Unity would be our strength.
