Right on cue, Conservatism being blamed, not moderates

[SaraJohnson]

Liberals, humanists, are liars no matter if they call themselves Republican or Demonrat.

You are right my friend. Boortz is dead to me now. May he quickly retire and rot in hell....

[fortheDeclaration]

That is why conservatives need to leave the GOP for good.

We never are credited for it's sucesses but are always blamed for it's losses.

[fortheDeclaration]

No, we have to let the GOP go, like the Whigs went.

It is a Party that stands for nothing but getting elected.

It is the 'management' Party and no one is going to get excited about 'managing' the welfare State better then the other guy.

Brit Hume was already starting at 8 o’clock last night claiming that Romney had been too restricted by us filthy socons.

In other words, quit opposing abortion, gay marriage, and illegal immigration.

As if supporters of those issues would EVER vote Republican.

[kevkrom]

As if there will be enough pro-conservative votes to, actually, counter whatever the left does, between now and four years from now! You are living an “optimistic fantasy”! The GOP is dead, and U.S. conservatism is dying! It’s over for everything non-leftist, until and unless there’s a total collapse of “everything leftist”, in the U.S. and worldwide! Prove me wrong, please!

And yet, just 2 years ago, there were enough conservative votes to decisively take the House (with enough of a margin to retain it after this fiasco) and make a legitimate run at taking the Senate (which would have required a staggering +11 margin).

Today sucks. I get that.

But 2 years in politics is a long time. You fight one election at a time.

Romney lost light night because he failed to do as well as McCain -- let that sink in. Obama shed over 10% of his own 2008 total, so Romney would have won if he had merely retained all of the McCain votes. The people who stayed home -- rather than vote for someone who could pass for a mainstream Democrat less than 30 years ago -- were the margin of defeat, not some insurmountable horde of freeloaders.

Of course, when they are not busy blaming the fiscal conservatives, it has to be the fault of the social conservatives. Frack you Brit Hume. And frack you Dick Morris, Sean Hannity, and Matt Drudge, for carrying water for a self important dick like Romney.

In two years, MANY illegal immigrants will be added to the total voter rolls. In two years many criminals will be added to the total voter rolls. In two years, new federal judge appointments will be pro-leftist! In two years, Islam will rule the U.S. In two years, Free Republic may not exist!... You have no idea how bad it’s, really, going to get for everybody, very soon.
