Very well thought-out article, thank you.

I might add one other failure that I cringed about was Romney’s insistence in the debates that “we have to crack down on China for cheating and manipulating their currency.”

That just lost him most of the Asian vote here in America. And besides, isn’t the US “manipulating their currency???” Duh! And it will create a trade war, which fiscal conservatives are fundamentally against.

Given the huge MSM headwinds against him, Romney was amazingly close. The idealists (Freepers and libertarians) who are delusional enough about modern American culture to think that running a more conservative candidate than Romney – and win – are in for a big disappointment.

This country is now too stupid/brainwashed, so the reversal CAN ONLY be done incrementally. Romney would have been a stepping stone back to full conservatism. Rome wasn’t rebuilt in a day.

So, I was indeed enjoying your article until I got to this last sentence:

“Unless we fix what is wrong we will lose it again and again until there is nothing left in America to save. We are running out of time, we are running out of money, and we are running out of white people.”

What does conservatism have to do with skin color???

Why did you write a very thoughtful analysis of Romney strategic missteps - which I agree with - and then end on this note?

If at all possible, I encourage you to rewrite that last sentence with something to the effect of: “We are running out of CONSERVATIVES” lest you come across as the White Supremacist that you probably are.

Please don’t continue to give the left any ammo against those of us fiscal conservatives who strive for a colorblind society (e.g. no affirmative action, no government racism).

It’s comments like that and the use of a nathanbedford handle that give conservatives a bad name. And yes I read your profile rationale of your moniker. Doesn’t fly with me at all and your last paragraph shows your true self.

Alan,

The Democrats run a racist campaign, trample on the Constitution to pander to Hispanic votes, and blatantly play the race card to stimulate the African-American base in favor of a black candidate and you insinuate that I am the racist for criticizing them for it.

Shame on you.

I point out to you that in the midst of broadcasting the election returns last night, Bob Beckel, a Democrat spokesperson and former campaign manager for Democrat Presidential Candidate could say to the American people on Fox News that the Republicans were getting 73% of the white vote but they needed at least 74% or 75% to win. This is how fine the Democrats calculate their racism. It is not I who originated the idea that we are running out of white people, it is the Democrats and their spokespeople who appear on national television who maintain that idea.

The reference to running out of white people means that we have to recalculate our campaign so that we garner votes from people of color. How the hell you can turn that into a racist remark is quite beyond reason. In answer to your question, skin color does not have anything to do with conservatism, I never said it did but it has plenty to do with winning elections and I did not have anything to do with that reality, I did not create it but neither will I be victimized by it if I can help it. I will speak out against it and every chance the right of free expression gives me.

Nor will I be victimized by you playing the race card at me anymore than I consent to be victimized by Democrats playing the race card. I stand by my "about page" and the explanation for the use of the name and avatar expressed there. I regard your definition of my "true character" to be gratuitous and outrageous.

Alan Greenspam? That does "not fly with me" I know your "true character" is that of an anti-Semite. How much more outrageous than your statement is mine?

I would prefer to leave this on a better note so I thank you for the compliments contained in your reply.
