I was not addressing it to you. Please accept my apology.
I was addressing my comments to all the Mitt naysayers.
Both, but we MUST DEFEAT OBAMA!
I didn't sign such an agreement and neither did Patton@Bastogne.
It's good to be a free man.
I think the collapse and they don’t want the GOPe to be blamed is a more likely scenario.
There are several problems with the whole losing now may be good eventually for the party, for conservatives, and for the nation.
One is the Supreme Court. I don’t know that a President McCain would have nominated good judges, and if he did if he could have gotten them confirmed. Same for Romney should he win. But we know how horrible Sotomayor and Kagan are, and that was a huge opportunity lost to finally right the Court. Now we have decades of insane, activist, power-usurping jurisprudence from these two. If Obama wins again, then he’ll replace Ginsburg for sure. Breyer might retire too. That would mean we lost the chance to replace every one of the most recent liberal retirements. If Kennedy or Scalia were to retire, then it’s over as far as the Court goes. Gay marriage will be imposed on the entire nation (though that may happen now with the threat of Kennedy or Roberts jumping ship). The Second Amendment victories will be reversed and in its place the worthless collective right interpretation will reign. Inevitable ‘anti-hate’ speech laws will be sanctioned. And so on and so on.
Another thing to consider is Obamacare. For it to be overturned Romney must win and the GOP must retake the Senate. Otherwise it stands and it will never be overturned.
And finally there are the mass immigration-driven demographic shifts that are favoring the Democrats, and making it harder for the GOP and conservatives each cycle. I don’t know if a Romney loss would result in the party ‘moderating’ (i.e. going left) even more, or if it would mean we get a real conservatives in 2016. But either way, the country and electorate will be less white, and that won’t be good for the GOP or conservatives.
Does that hurt?
“Everybody thinks Romney lost the election yesterday.”
Funny how the polls look to have bumped up. So much for what “everyone” thinks.
Look, I think willard stinks. Don’t believe me that I think willard stinks? Feel free to check my posting history. But honesty compels me to note that he did good the past few days. He didn’t say anything that was untrue, and any votes he “lost” weren’t his anyway. So he told the hard truth, the base agreed and he got a bump as a result.
As for kristol, there’s a gop-e bootlicker if there ever was one.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, age 79 (and fighting pancreatic cancer)
Antonin Scalia, age 76
Anthony Kennedy, age 75
Stephen Breyer, age 74
Clarence Thomas, age 64
Samuel Alito, age 62
Sonia Sotomayor, age 58
John Roberts, age 57
Elena Kagan, age 52
The odds are pretty good that 3 or possibly even 4 of them will retire during the next administration, either to replaced by Obama or Romney.

“We can fix the RINO problem, but it is for damn sure that if Obama wins on Nov, 6 it will not be fixed.”
Really? If willard loses, the gop-e that supported him loses as well. At minimum, the leadership of the gop is up for grabs. And the gop-e will be fighting both the conservatives on the outside and the Paulistinians on the inside for control.
Also possible is that the gop finally goes down in flames. Another political party would fill it’s spot. And that party couldn’t be any worse than the gop.
I don’t see a willard loss as being a win for RINOs any way you cut it. Ain’t got a dog in the fight myself, but I don’t see the gop-e winning anything if their candidate loses the most winnable election in my lifetime.

Not naive, I know enough that they don't always endorse each other after the primary. Ron Paul this year is a case in point.
Regardless, Gingrich not only endorsed Romney, but stated that "Mitt Romney is a solid conservative." He also stated that he will be campaigning for Romney.
So the point remains, P@B was still recently advocating Gingrich as having the intelligence and values to be President, yet P@B trashes the man that Gingrich endorsed and campaigns for as being evil incarnate.
That is an absolutely irrational stance.

All the GOP-e crowd would need to seek our permission for an honorable seppuku ~ but I’m not sure we can offer an honorable one ~ so they’d probably best start looking for tall bridges without those guard fences on top.
Bill Kristol has always had lots in common with lefties, except that he’s a war monger.
We see the problems State Department has defending its ambassadors and others in the Middle East. We have well over 100,000 Iranians, Afghanis, as well as other Moslem and Arab speaking people in the DC area. I have no idea how many of them are "safe' but they are all relatively easy to compromise.
Could be that we might be doing business without any of the top officers of state sometime in the next 4 years.
So, the question could well be ~ who, in Nebraska, is going to take over and when will we run the next election.
Yes let's be real. Kristol best not look over his shoulder because he will discover no one behind him but the usual beltway buttkissers.
>Excellent points, especially about the Supreme Court.

Obama or Romney appointing judges? No difference.
