If Conservative actually want to win again then they must stop allowing the Republicans to nominee ineffective Liberal candidates, who close the deal even under these conditions.

This could be the wakeup call that Conservatives need. An (R) next to a candidate's name is not good enough - either they are a Conservative or they are not.

no- this is what happens when a nation turns it’s back on God- We kicked God out, and God, even though He has been long suffering with us, has finally allowed us to have what we as a nation wanted- a nation without Him

Conservatism and the U.S. Constitution have both been dealt a death blow.

Learn to live with Marxism.

I fought for this country and today I realize that it was only a delaying victory. Communism is the future and I am not going to be part of it.

I will venture to say that most active service men/women will not re-up and you will be left with U.N. Forces ruling and enforcing our laws.

I have to decide where I’m going to go but I can’t stay here and watch this country turn into Obamas dream.

Goodby.

   and you will see them now push Jeb Bush as the party's next savior in 2016

  I thought we were all out of moderates and had completely forgotten about Jeb Bush. So we have at least one more concession speech to look forward to in 2016.

Exactly correct in the assessment.

However, the greater truth is that unless this nation does a II Chronicles 7:14 (be sure to read verse 13 also) - we have no hope of healing this land from the tyranny it has chosen for itself.

When not even the churches are willing to advocate that as the only course of action for this people - then we have conceded God’s governance in our lives. The truth that is unwavering is that a people who will not be governed by God will be ruled by the tyranny of men.

Here we are.

We have Democrats and RINO’s joined and whats left of the rest of us.

Thank you for posting this! I almost agree 100%, and I’ll explain my doubt.

The GOP throws all their weight behind the moderates in the primary cycles. The media, all too adverse to conservatives, gladly does their part, only to turn on said candidate for the Democrat come the general election. They use the tired, worn out lines that the independents won’t support a conservative. A conservative is too extreme, too out of touch, they say, to ever win in the general. Ususally conservative candidates split the vote, so this helps, and there are too many people who go along with the GOP and media. They figure, this guy is seemingly the most popular, so I should support him.

I said after Romney got the nomination that the GOP had once again given us another moderate candidate, and we’d see just how well it would work out this time. I was very skeptical. Sure enough. When you run a liberal lite against a liberal, people are going to pick the real thing. Now Romney did move to the right in the primaries, but his entire record contradicted that, and then he centered out some for the general. The libs were able to use terms like “Romneysia” to call into question the discrepancies between his past and how was running for the election.

The odd thing is, despite how adamantly opposed to Romney I was in the primary, he did grow on me, and I did believe that he, if he stayed true to the principles he espoused while campaigning, could turn this economy around.

That said, my doubt comes in that, maybe the demographics of this country are such and the beliefs of many Americans are such, that people simply want such a big government, that conservatives may be in trouble.

That had nothing to do with it.

Problem is that the takers finally outnumbered the creators.

Romney actually ran a good campaign, but the 47 percent worked really hard to take away what was not theirs.

Sadly, we are lost and this nation is gone. Now, it’s just to join them or leave them.

No, the country is moving more toward the left.

Notice that the unemployment level was only so low because there are fewer and fewer people working overall. This has been the trend for decades.

Democracy inevitably leads to communism. People find that they can appear generous by declaring their willingness to give other people’s money to the poor. Other people of course find that they can get this free stuff and have 100% free time for whatever recreational purpose they have while benefits never decrease.

In addition the constitution has been replaced by precedent. Judges no longer look at the constitution they look at precedent instead. And that includes even the silliest of precedents that came from a court that was intentionally packed to rubber stamp Roosevelts socialism in the new deal. So there is no barrier to this slide to communism though he founders intended the difficulty of amendment to make the constitution a barrier to evil. Any new precedent can be created at any time to replace any part of the constitution. All they have to do is connect some phrase in the constitution by any number of “this affects that somehow” links to whatever they want, and then suddenly the constitution favors their new law and it is binding precedent.

The only way to reverse this is to convince people of the truth. Once that is done the politicians and even the judges themselves will become more conservative. Also the media will become a little more conservative.

If you’re response is “they are just too dumb” or “they don’t listen to reason” then we are probably doomed to lose.

But no. Romney had the entire right wing extremely excited. He had massive Obama-like rallies. Anyone else would have to be better at communication, not just more conservative. And the more conservative they are the better they have to be at communication until you make conservatism the default belief before the election.

This is a pessimistic view but if you don’t see the problem you can’t fix it. And this is the problem: we are on the path to socialism not because we didn’t get a conservative through the primary but because people are finding out that its more rewarding and a hell of a lot less risky to get stuff for free than be vilified for being successful.

And you allow a Soros funded Venezualian company to count the votes.

This what we get for having too many primary debates and having the lib media orchestrate that circus designed to eliminate all the candidates one by one, except their choice. And Mitt Romney was that choice to run against Bathhouse Barry. The GOP blindly stepped right into a liberal media trap. Like most FReepers, Romney was my absolute last choice for the nomination, well maybe tied with Ron Paul. I voted against Barry, not for the flip flopping big government nominee.
