Human decency needs no defense.
Let Obama have the poisoned chalice of his victory. He has NO mandate and no right to do anything in our name.
Add in the fact that our nice guy holds some of the same positions as their bad guy, and only wants to do what the left wants to do at a slower pace and then you really have the recipe for the Mega-disaster we are seeing.
Romney had a better chance playing mister nice guy than not.
This country is split down the middle and slants to squishy. If he was to gather any goo to pack the bearings— he had to play it nice.
I hated him and said awful nasty things about him and his family during the primaries. I was wrong, Romney is a good guy.
I still don’t like his politics but the politics I prefer are in the minority and can’t win. It is just a sad reality.
It’s interesting. While I thought Romney would win, I was perpetually bugged by his passivity. Rather than attacking Obama, he would use phrases like “He tried, but it didn’t work”. That gave the impression that Obama was trying to improve things. Thus, in many minds, Obama just didn’t have enough time to correct Bush’s mistakes.
Romney was the wrong candidate. I said that from the start. I hoped for the best...but as late as August it seemed to me that Romney wasn’t even trying.
I guess we could dissect this until the sun burns out, but we don’t need to tear Romney down for this loss.
Romney did not lose this race against Obama.... Romney lost this race against the greatest enemies of our time, the MSM. These vicious bastards have deliberately caused more damage to our country/society than any terrorist has ever done and likely ever will.
It doesn’t matter who our candidate might be, if we don’t figure out how to eliminate this threat, we will never see victory.
