"That guy" in the White House is an ideologue. It would have taken and ideologue to beat him. That wasn't Mitt. Our problem isn't the lack of Mitt, or even the White House.

It's the lack of courage and conviction from our own guys. Republicans have the power to defeat the left's agenda in Washington, even after accounting for the 2012 election.

What they don't have is the courage of our convictions to do so.. Hell, the GOP-e doesn't even share our convictions, much less our courage. THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

Rick Santorum is right.

Congress isn’t going to help us, the GOP held states are the only ones holding the line at this point.

Too bad you don’t like the obvious truth. Hope your fantasy keeps you warm at night.

The plan was to get Romney and GOP Senate. Jim DeMint discussed this last July. I would much rather have Romney being inaugurated two weeks from Sunday, and so should you.

You are one giant hypothetical. Artistic license, I guess.

We simply would be facing the exact same situation if Romney won simply because the inauguration isn’t until January 20th so Obama would still be President.

Everything else is just speculation.

Damning with faint praise:

At least [insert favorite RINO here] is better than Obama.

I was thinking of what a good, thoughtful response to your vanity might be, and only came up with: “See, and you guys didn’t like Romney, so this is what you get.”

IT'S OUR GUYS FAILING TO STAND UP FOR OURS.

Exactly right. Liberalism is succeeding because there is no opposition.

The deal you would have seen would look almost exactly like the deal you see now.

Put down the Slivovitz.

Right. The difference would be that it would have gotten MORE Republican votes, because some of the less committed conservatives would have voted Aye out of party loyalty to a Republican President.
