What say you?
And what about the Dick Morrises, the Roves, Barones, Rollins, George Will’s the RINOS/CINOS, etc, etc? Should they ride off into the sunset?
Are they now obsolete? Is it time for more grassroots conservatism as espoused here on FR?
Is it time for 100% bottom-up and 0% top-down?
And what about the O’Reilly’s and the Krauthammer’s as well?
Are they now obsolete?
Is it time for a shake-up at FOX News and maybe talk radio as well?
People like you are part of the problem. Never offering any reasonable solutions in the beginning, only complaining when you don’t get your way or when things go bad.
Wow, OK.
Romney was not a bad candidate. Certainly the most inspiring one we have had since Reagan. He was the right man for these times, but the public didn’t put 2 and 2 together. That is not his fault, that is the result of a society that has failed ourselves.
I saw nothing wrong with Mitt’s candidacy.
I thought he was much better than the rape clowns who got their asses kicked.
"That is not part of our campaign."
- Mitt Romney's response to being asked what he thought about the outpouring of support for Chick-fil-A's defense of true marriage.

I disagree with your characterization of Mitt, but even if it was true that would still make him a far better choice than Obama.
Trumpet the ‘conservatism didn’t lose’ line all you want, but the ugly truth is something far more basic DID lose. Common sense lost, the ability to comprehend the most basic economic principles lost, the ability to learn from experience lost, being able to perceive reality lost. Do you really think conservatism has a chance when even the current mess doesn’t drive people to try something, anything else and they hold out their hand to government and say gimmie!
Yep. And dozens of FReepers prove the point as they sat out the election on ‘principle,’ giving us—Obama for another 4 years.
I’m supposed to be preparing to retire...instead me and my family will just try to scape by and not become homeless. Thanks Principled conservatives!
Conservatives know that the lesser of two evils is evil. Liberals roll like pigs in evil as if it were mud.
Romney wasn’t a bad candidate he ran a bad “Johnny One Note” campaign and had bad campaign advisors . He needed to go after Obama with a grape shot cannon and had all kinds of shot to stuff in it instead of using a poison dart blow gun.
In addition Rove who I understand was handling the Senate campaign played games and his material
never warned voters that if Obama gets re-elected as well as senate the chances of repealing Obama care ...AND ALL THE TAX INCREASES THAT GO WITH IT WILL NEVER GET REPEALED
We lose on a national level because our electorate is divided into group identities. We had two intelligent, capable candidates, and we had good issues. We lost anyway. Unless we appeal to ethnic minorities, we can’t win. And it does no good to make derogatory remarks about ethnic minorities.
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.
