Any normal candidate would have beaten Carter 2 during this almost depression.
Mitt was just what freerepublic had said he was all along, a disaster of epic proportions. No wonder JR was so anti-Romney, until desperation had him call for a truce in banning the romneybots.
Romney was so unpalatable that he couldn’t even beat Carter 2, he was the disaster that conservatives had said he would be since he was telling us that William Weld was his political soul master and that he did not support Reagan.
Who thought that a Massachusetts governor booted out of office with 34% approval and rejected for reelection, was the goof ball to make the GOP presidential candidate.
Yes really, perspective. After Florida, it was over. Anything that happened after that was just wasting time and money. Perspecitve is needed, but the sweater vest geeks never had a shred of that.
Go ahead, worship your union thug, petulant, nasty pro enviro pro specter big government establishment tool if you want. Was and always will be a weenie tool.
“Go ahead, worship your union thug, petulant, nasty pro enviro pro specter big government establishment tool if you want. Was and always will be a weenie tool.”
I believe this is called ‘building consensus’?
Amen, sir, Amen. :)
No, that’s called the painful truth.
Consensus? Well, I’d have voted for Rick over Obama in a skinny minute and never would have considered sitting it out. But he is still a union thug, petulant weenie tool of the establishment who has only pedestrian talent, and who is a phony who actually did run as a liberal in Pennsylvania while blaming Mitt for running as a liberal in Massachusetts.
But consenus? I’d take him over Obama any day and twice on Sunday.
I don’t like Newt, but I don’t think he’s a traitor.
Why alienate people unnecessarily?
It is one thing to make the argument that birth control isn’t something that government should mandate that insurance covers, any more than auto insurance should cover car washes.
I think we could get an electoral majority behind the idea that such mandates are not the proper role of government, not Constitutional, and that the consumer ends up paying more for it through insurance premiums than it would cost to just buy it outright.
It is entirely another thing to make the argument that birth control is “evil”, and that government should have the power, and should act upon that power, to outlaw it. I doubt if you could even win the Republican nomination making that argument, let alone the general election.
I’m a faithful Catholic. I was perfectly happy with the status quo of you paying for your contraception, and leaving me alone.
Now, status quo no longer applies.
The Republican party can no longer ignore the issue of contraception. We have to tackle it. It’s not right that god-fearing Catholics are forced to pay for abortion and contraception through Obamacare.
Your statement saying that contraception is essential, sounds an awful lot like the Flake folks who are forcing me to pay for their contraception.
What am I supposed to think of you when you say the same thing she does?
What am I supposed to think of you when apparently you have to lie in order to make your argument?
I never said birth control was essential. That is a construction of your own devising, a fraudulent one.
Making the religious freedom argument is also perfectly sound.
Making the argument that birth control is “evil” and something government should have the power, and act upon the power, to make illegal is an entirely different argument.
But thanks for attempting to conflate these separate arguments and your lame attempt to put words in my mouth.
Now I know what to think of you and it isn’t complementary.
“Making the argument that birth control is “evil” and something government should have the power, and act upon the power, to make illegal is an entirely different argument.”
An argument I never made.
How many condoms are you buying this month?
I never said it was an argument you made.
Now why did you feel the need to lie about what I said to make your argument? That sure isn’t the behavior of any faithful Catholics I know and respect. Bearing false witness is one of the big 10. You should be ashamed of yourself.
How’d the ladies do with Obama vs. Romney ?
Rick Santorum didn’t win eleven states — more than three times that of Newt and RuPaul combined — because of Karl Rove. He won them by being the most credible alternative to Mitt Romney.
I agree that Rove has got to go for reasons that go quite far beyond the Presidential race, but come on.
Not sure what you mean. Romney outperformed McCain with both men and women.
The election we just had.
Romeny women:
Obama women:
So helping Santorum was a bad thing? I don’t his supporters thought so. And what if he had been able to take off?
Many folks on here are irate at Mitt getting money and now we’re irate at someone giving money to Romney’s opponent?
This is a “damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t” conclusion.
When the continual cascade of No Good, Very Bad Polling Data continued unabated regardless, said maladroits -- rather than dealing forthrightly with the increasingly dire reality of their candidate's situation -- actively CHOSE to relocate, en masse, to a happy, magical la-la land of talking bunny make-believe. (E.g. "unskewedpolls.com"; "Lunch Alerts!" featuring bucktoothed wish-casting from Dick Morris; etc., etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseum.)
... and now, today: rather than sacking up, like adults, and finally admitting that their cherished baseline assumptions ("Sacrifice the Conservative Base for 'Moderates'"; "You Really CAN Beat a Socialist with Socialist Lite!"; etc.) might have been, just maybe, wrong a teeny tiny little... they simply throw their hands up in the air, and huff exasperatedly: "Well, then, nobody could have won, darn it!"
Never, ever again will you (or I) live to witness such a perfect storm of mulish, blinkered GOP-e electoral incompetence and insanity as we've been treated to, these past twelve months or so.
God willing.
Not so nice when someone returns the favor eh? I accept your apology.
We need to be all on the same side - contraception isn’t appropriate for government intervention.
You're one of the jackasses that didn't even vote, and you have the nerve to come on this forum and gloat (and bitch) because we have the unabated Marxist for four more years. You and your purist jack asses let him be reelected.
GFY.
Yikes, that was one wild post.
All that I said was, that any normal candidate would have beaten Carter 2 during this almost depression.
Mitt was just what freerepublic had said he was all along, a disaster of epic proportions. No wonder JR was so anti-Romney, until desperation had him call for a truce in banning the romneybots.

Seriously, who thought that a Massachusetts governor booted out of office with 34% approval and rejected for reelection, was the goof ball to make the GOP presidential candidate?
