According to one Tea Party leader, the reason for Mitt Romney’s loss to President Barack Obama is that he was not conservative enough and was “weak-kneed” and a throwback to Bob Dole and John McCain. The President Bush’s were not named, however.
In a press statement, entitled “Tea Party Vows "No Retreat" and a subtitle “Promise to search out candidates with clear conservative records; no more Dole-McCain-Romney nominees”, the group leaders said the following:

Romney showed some spine and some promise in the first debate and then we went into a “don’t lose” strategy of not attacking the president and his bounce steadily eroded.
"To hell with the country, what is my country going to do for me! It's all about ME!"
Atlas will shrug.
I am embarrassed for my gender, one that thinks with their body parts, EXCLUDING their brains. We have NO reason to blame men for anything that involves body parts like we have been wont to do.
The fact is the Republican party nominated two of the most able and conscientious people in the country to head the ticket.
The voters chose Obama.
Figure that, but it was nothing to do with any tea party.
Do you not recall the rules changes at last RNC? A strong conservative third party is our only recourse. The hell with the GOP-e
So how ‘weak kneed’ and ineffective was the Tea Party this time around?
They couldn’t protect and re-elect some members of the
class of 2010 and help pick dinosaurs for Senate Candidates that alienated voters in Missouri and Indiana so that two almost sure pickups went by the board in states where Romney won.
So the GOP is not out of touch with voters, they are not in touch with voters.
The GOP needs to directly market to groups- bluntly, examples:
The GOP needs to expose that the RATS view women as a life support system for a uterus.
With Blacks, the GOP need to market the genocide of abortion.
With Hispanics, the GOP needs to explain we want an immigration policy that helps Latin Americans and the United States, not create a sub-subservient class and voting group for the Democratic party.

DUH !
And so ends the rule of the RINO Wing of the Republican Party, with the RINOs exiting stage left and still whimpering “Next time we will be SERIOUSLY Conservative!”
BYE, and don’t let the door hit yuh, were the Good Lord split yuh!

And where in the hell was the so called Tea Party during this whole election??? I saw NOTHING, I MEAN NOTHING about the Tea Party one way or another during the last few months. The Party that was foremost in 2010 became invisible this time around and now are trying to blame Romney for their lack of zeal.
“And where in the hell was the so called Tea Party during this whole election?”
Getting bashed by the RINO establishment.
If Romney was the most able - why did he do more poorly than John McCain?
I don’t want to keep blaming but there is enough to go around. How many evangelicals did not want to vote for a mormon?
Also, TOO many Americans vote for their particular interests and not what is good for ALL of America. ie:
My Birth Control
MY Body
My Gay Wedding
My Food Stamps
My Free Phone
My (ha ha) Free Healthcare
My Race
My Citizen Status
Me, Me, freakin, me.
Self-motivated, single issue voters.
All part and parcel of what they are being taught in government schools. They are rewarded for just showing up.
Because they are just so special.
“Self” is not of God.
Ahhhh, here we go again. Blame it all on the Christian. Disgusting!!
Yesterday, for the first time, I heard some disheartening info regarding Christians I know--they didn't want to vote for the Mormon; they didn't think the candidates were conservative enough; their churches more-or-less told them to vote for Obama, so they did or they stayed home, not using the God-given freedom to vote; they have NO problem with voting for the abortion candidates because somehow they gain financially if that candidate won.
There are churches that do NOT preach against evil and good out of fear/PC and actually back gay marriage. (people do equate church with Christian, even if evangelicals do not)
We have NOT done what we should have done and it is a shame, not all of us MANY of us.
On another FR thread some idiot was boasting that by staying home evangelicals had taught republicans a lesson.
Gee...
I guess the American people:
-prefer the same thing--no matter how bad--to a change.
(Bam's change theme worked in '08 because change was
already in motion--Bush was leaving)
-are attracted to style and repelled by substance
-want a nanny when things get scary (ie, Sandy)
-don't or can't think about the future welfare of the country, only immediate desires
-crave collectivism, even though they desperately want to beat the guy in the next cubicle over.
-are ignorant of history and cannot draw analogies. -distrust millionaires, unless they make a big show of their so called philanthropy
-are demoralized, debauched and intimidated, even frightened of moral people, especially if these people speak of God.
-hate Mormons, much for the above.
-get their opinions from Time, Newsweek, etc, which hammered Romney and Ryan
-Neither R or R could cite military experience--this is only a requirement for Republicans.
Because competent as Romney may be, everything about his career smells "finance guy....Wall Street deal broker".
Take a Mitt Romney and subtract the personal integrity, and you've got the exact type that brought us all the bubbles, Too Big To Fail and the bailouts.
You can be rich and still win Main Street's approval if you are a hands on businessman who delivers products and services. Not a contract wrangler who makes his millions by transaction fees on paper moving around.
