A RINO [Mitt] running as a yes man conservative (and losing) isn't a rejection of conservatism

Again, a rejection of a RINO who has a Youtube video of him bashing a coal-fired power plant, all the way to articles of him flip-flopping on practically any subject you can think of running as a conservative (and then losing in the general election), isn't tantamount to conservatism being over.

Let's face it - Romney had a long track record of being a RINO. There are plenty of past threads here detailing his RINO past as governor, as well as his flip-flops before, during and after the primaries.

Yet the GOP-e thought that putting up someone whom they said could be wound up and would robotically rubber-stamp conservative legislation for 4 straight years (I mean, all he needed were some working digits) meant that conservatives as well as center-right voters would come out and vote for him in greater numbers than they did for McCain --- which didn't happen.

I am sick of the crap. Romney did a good job considering who he was up against.

If the country went for Obama’s free stuff, no conservative had a prayer anyway. If the election wasn’t stolen, I think it was, but, we will never know, they would never have went for a Tea Party conservative. We would have had a worse loss.

Tea Party better fend better candidates than Akins, Mourdocks, O’Donnells and Angles.

Cain couldn’t beat Obama because he didn’t have the infrastructure to do so. He’s a radio talk show host so he would have a short political life span due to saying something inflammatory.

Cain’s campaign sucked. If you couldn’t stomp out a small bimbo eruption, Obama’s nasty campaign would have made mince-meat out of him. Hell, it was Obama who took out Cain from the beginning. One Bimbo was a cracker from Chicago and the other one worked in the Obama administration. Nothing turns off white people more than a black guy raping white women. Obama would have turned his ass into another O.J. Simpson.

A good campaign would have neutralized all of this before their candidate even announced his Presidential bid.

Bachmann was my girl. She was eloquent, feisty and she wasn’t bad on the eyes. Palin just scared the living sh** out of conservatives who don’t like seeing their women get beat up by the abusive and sexist liberal media.

A RINO Idiot. And unfortunately the GOP-e is top heavy with them.

Good bye.

You say that, but you don't really mean it.

The left only uses Alred against someone they really fear.
