Rush is right! And the GOP-e along with the Morrises, the George Wills, etc, failed in their predictions. Morris admitted he had egg on his face, but I did not see George Will admit this. Maybe he did, but I didn't see it. Are the now obsolete?
Are the Krauthammers, the O'Reillys, the Vannitys, Rollins, etc also obsolete? Is Vannity still going to continue having the same ol same ol on his show? And what about the other shows on FOX News? Are they going to continue having RINOS/CINO guests/hosts on their shows?
Mitt Romney got fewer votes than McCain did. Yes, fewer people also showed up to vote for Obama, but all RINOldus Mittnus had to do was equal the turnout that McCain received (which was a surge of conservative voters driven by Palin being on the ticket (which Ryan could not match)) and Obama would have been defeated. Even better, have a conservative on the top of the ticket, and not some RINO [Mittnus], who has a long history of supporting RINOism (which the numerous past threads here at FR have shown).
Add to that Romney having a RINO past greater than that of McLame and the Romney/Ryanticket was doomed for defeat. Romney running on a promise to rubber-stamp conservative legislation did not undo the mistrust of his past record.
And the GOP-e now thinks that what cost them the election was not reaching out to Hispanics with a message of a pathway to citizenship (amnesty to illegals)? Please.
The GOP-e will try its hardest to shift the blame elsewhere, but they just can't help putting up Ford's Doles, George "read my lips" Bushs, McLames and now RINOldus Mittnus. The GOP-e loves RINOS/CINOS.
But RINOS/CINOS lose.....
Obama is what you get when you don’t vote enjoy it for the rest of your life.
The Romney people purposefully iced out Ron Paul and Sarah Palin to make a point: we can win and govern without their influence.
Except. They can’t.
This is the lesson the GOP-e must learn if it wants to win. Coalition-building doesn’t mean reaching across the aisle (their preferred takeaway message from the election); it means not brushing off the constituencies that hold residence on OUR side of the aisle.
Hint: the next establishment puke that disdains our base isn’t going to win, either. Yes, Jeb, I’m talking about you.
Obama won because he made a concerted effort to appeal to every portion of his base.
We tell our base to go to hell and then scratch our heads at the result.
There it is for all the RINO/CINO's to see. Their pig-in-a-poke lackey was a known commodity. A persons past is usually a very good indicator of just what to expect in the future as in a leopard can't change his spots. In essence, once a liberal always a liberal.
۞ "Since the bygone days of Ronald Reagan the present day Republican Party has taken on the appearance and all the demeanor of the corrupted liberal Democrat Party and has now become the party of appeasers, apologists, liberalism and an ever bigger government with all of the welfare largesse that emanates from it."
A very good example of one NOT getting it. As a typical SC I was not interested in trying teach anyone anything by refusing to vote for the RINO. Just give me/us someone we don't have to hold our noses for and feel as if we need to be deloused after pulling the lever for. We SC's were being told to do all the compromising (as usual). What compromising did the RINOs do? Hmmmmm?!
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the purest conservative of all? All who did not vote or voted third party are spoiled little children who in their tantrum, gave our country to the enemy. You purists are our enemy ever bit as much as the Dems.
Thank you. Your comments reflect my views exactly. Bless you.
Put it another way that goes something like this, social or Christian Conservatives may not be able to get a candidate elected all by themselves but a Republican candidate cannot get elected without their committed support. The record speaks for itself.
Sean Vanity is the outclassed lightweight here. End of story. LOL.
I can’t stand either of them anymore, I pretty much stick with Dennis Miller now.
You ain't never lied.
No... Not me. I learned several election cycles ago that the GOP cannot learn, or does not want to. The 'lesson', therefore, is without function. I have written the GOP off. Call me when all y'all want to promote Conservative principles... Otherwise, I will continue to advocate a new party. And I will always ONLY vote for Conservatives.
*raises single-finger gesture*
There's your problem right there... If you vote for turds, that is what you will continue to get.
Question: How will you ever get a statesman if you are content to vote for a politician?
LOL! And how, pray tell will you get Conservatives to vote for a liar? Didn't work out so good this time did it?
LOL! ZACKLY, as always. You really need to move out of Seattle, son... Your intellect and outlook would be better served elsewhere - Go EAST young man! At least to eastern WA...

My dearest mother-in-law -- who gave me the incalculable gift birthing and raising a wife far, far too good for the seedy likes of me, really -- is too ill to conveniently uproot, and doesn't want to move away from where her late husband is buried, in any event.
Out of love and admiration for her: my wife and I are resolved to stay here until her story is finally all told, one way or another.
I sure like your optimism and enthusiasm. But I'm gonna need a helluva lot more convincing to believe we can do this with a full half of the population suckling from the government nipple (the slang may have been flagged).
Your tagline may indeed be appropriate here. Lol
Lol.
See, the liar we will need will be one that is so convincing that the brain trust here at FR will see the magnificent trick playing out. We'll have a candidate with die-hard, true and uncompromising conservative record running a campaign promising reparations, amnesty, peace in our time, free cell phones, free cars, free houses, gay marriage, open boarders, no guns, etc. Then when he gets elected with more of the female, black, latino and gay voting groups, he'll giggle and go into a screaming right skid pegging the wacko meter on the liberals "conservative extremist" monitor.
That's the kind of liar we will need to run in 2016 to win.
(yea...I know.)
A noble response, and a more than adequate one to explain that singular oddity. : )
It took my uncle most of his life to finally leave the Chicago suburbs, albeit that when he did, he didn't even get a day's drive away... And he is as Conservative as the day is long... So understand that I mean no assault upon your person or your thinking - One CAN BE Conservative and 'trapped in liberal Seattle', as you are the very evidence in your own self - But your condition must be admittedly rare, which is what makes it odd, and it is that curiosity which prompted my inquiry.
And it also prompts me to wish this grand mother - who is honorable enough for such respect - a very long and ever-more-blessed life... without any malice toward your person and with due consideration of the inevitable torture that such a wish will heap upon you. ; )
Montanans are not known for their fondness of those who inhabit the Left Coast, but I say, without reservation, that if you ever do get the chance to flee, you are welcome here. : )
