we lost because the GOP is feckless and weak...they let the rats and media carry the narrative that the Tea Party was racist, there was a war against women in the GOP, the GOP hates illegals for 4+ years now and never fought back...
as far as a change in culture; if Romney got the same number of votes as George Bush in ‘04 he likely wins...if he got the same number of votes as Mclame in 08 there’s at leadt a recount.... obamugabe barely got 50% of the vote and was 7mill below his tally of ‘08...
last nights results have nothing to do with culture change- its people who are pissed off that the GOP does not fight for them the way many of us fight for the GOP/conservative values...
Agree with you on this. If our voters were committed to winning, we would have won BIG. Hell, there were even a significant percentage of freepers that didn’t vote for our candidate!
I think we have to admit right now that we have lost the media. We can gripe about it all we want, but we HAVE to find a way to get our message out there.
Mitt Romney himself was proof that the GOP would not fight for those values; rhetoric aside, his history shows that he's a liberal, socialist, statist.
Even before the primaries, the establishment (GOP Party [leaders]) had anointed him.
