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:

I appreciate your explanation but still take issue with any reference to blaming Christians in any way for any part in this expected loss, he was not our candidate, not even close. Being a Mormon had nothing to do with my decision to not support Mitt Romney in this election. His positions on most social issues of which I support Romney was on the other side, way over. He advocated for very few, if any social issues that was of great importance to me therefore I could not in good conscience abandon the principles that I hold dear.

I can compromise at times but some issues are beyond compromise as for as I am concerned. If the Republicans want my vote in the future then give me a more palatable candidate that I can feel comfortable with. Romney has been and still is an unprincipled perennial loser in my book. He ranks right down there with Ford, Dole, McCain and maybe even "W". As it appears to me the "R" party is over as of this election, finished. Next election there will be ever more federal tax-dollar tit suckers (welfare and the etc.) draining the life out of our economy.

But the “experts” told us that this made him look “Presidential”. How can so many political experts, many of them on payroll, be so damn stupid?

Do you really think acting more liberal is a winning strategy. There is a truth in elections that liberals masquerading as conservatives always lose to the real thing.

ummm...no. I was asking an honest question. Would being more conservative help?

How can they SEE something work and then do the opposite? His “experts” were idiots.

All losing issues. All issues no one cares about.

Blacks know about abortion but don't care.
No immigration reform short of open borders will please Mexicans.

It's just wasted energy.
