I'm guessing I won't get flamed anymore saying the fix was in. The GOP wasn't going to have any other candidate but him since '08 or before. They meant to lose both these elections. Don't think for a moment it was the RATs who whittled down the conservative candidates and caused them to drop out of the primary race. No, the GOP did that. We haven't had a two party system since at least the middle of W's time and probably since BJ. They're all in bed together.
Gotta agree with this completely. The Republican party has apparently taken on the role of foil for the Democrats - a minority fall guy to take the blame when the policies that they BOTH secretly support inevitably fail.
Anyone who supports a mainstream Republican candidate like Romney, however good their intentions, is actually doing just as much, if not more, harm to our nation as those who vote for Obama.
I finally figured this out in '08 with McCain. I'm still in disbelief that after that debacle, people still actually supported and voted for Romney.
