Exactly....Coulter told us “TO SHUT THE F-CK UP AND TRUST HER WHEN SHE PICKS A CANDIDATE”

REPUBLICANS WIN WHEN THEY ACT LIKE CONSERVATIVES. PERIOD.

Johnson has 41,928 votes now. Roseann has 7,689. We could have used those votes.

“Yep, instead they decided to send the message: “I’m fine with Obama. Politically, I’m an idiot.”

I think the message was... Mitt has nothing to offer. They voted accordingly. Mitt’s bad. He followed the Dewey strategy of not risking anything. I’m sad Zero won.

It is up to the candidate to attract voters. Mitt has electoral disfunction and didn’t do it. Every one of those Johnson voters could have voted for Mitt. He didn’t close the sale. His bad.

Partially agree. Romney ran a reasonable campaign for a RINO many of us detested. Actually it was better than I expected and there were some good moments. Romney got in because conservatives couldn't close the deal on an alternative candidate and were squabbling over Newt vs Santorum etc. A unifying candidate is a must when you fight the democrat machine. Even then with increasingly entrenched socialism it will become harder for conservatives to run any candidate that can win nationally.

There are numerous policy similarities between the two.

The big difference between Obama and Romney is malevolence and love of country. Obama hates the US and wants to harm it, Romney does not.

If you’re looking for somebody to blame look to the RNC RINOs and your idiot neighbors who vote for Obama.

Gary Johnson has collected 42,000 votes so far in Florida. As of right now 10,000 votes separate Mitt Romney from Barack Obama.

Hope you like another 4 years you Johnson idiots.

Keep deriding libertarians, it obviously works so well in getting them to join ranks with Republicans.

If it weren't for things like the Tyrannical War on Drugs, for example, those libertarian Johnson voters would probably be voting for Mitt Romney, as I did.

As long as Republicans continue to decry Democratic Tyranny, while still embracing their own petty Tyrannical tendencies, such as the aforementioned contraband and prohibition laws, scenarios like this are going to recur.

So GOP authoritarians can take their share of responsibility for alienating just enough libertarian conservatives to actualize that result.

It's tragic. We were so close to defeating 0bama, but thanks to a complicit media, hysterical women, and a perfect storm named Sandy, it looks rather doubtful at this moment.

I couldn't be more disappointed, including being angry at the GOP elite who were so sure that a moderate was the answer to defeating 0bama.

I'd rather have seen somebody like Palin or Gingrich take a shot.

Just damn...

As it stands, Obamacare is now a given.

And, with each subsequent election, the driving issue will increasingly be "which party can best manage our National Healthcare System?"

Which is a job that is likely to turn today's Conservatives into a clone of Britain's Tories...

The folks who voted for Johnson cut their nose off to spite their face....either that or the dope they smoked was too strong and they couldn’t figure it out.

Apparently lots of folks forgot 1992 and enjoyed Bill Clinton’s eight years

Those who said screw everyone the only way to get a conservative is to let O win....yeah well since the country will no longer be a federated republic in four years I hope you enjoyed your freedom while you had it.

Blaming Johnson for a few thousand votes it utterly mistaken. It should have been a CAKEWALK for the Republicans.

Gary Johnson is very pleased with his FL vote, for he predicted on Monday that Obama would win again, and Johnson’s own NM is also in the Obama column again.

Sorry, Obama = Romney is just nuts.

look to the RNC RINOs

If we re-elect Obama, the stupidity runs a lot deeper than that.

I look to the dumb folks who voted for Obama and those who didn't vote for the only one who could defeat him. It was a no-brainer election. Now we have more bad times ahead.

If I blame any 'group' it's dumb people, in particular those dumb about politics and government. Every eligible person who didn't get out and vote for Romney.
