The electorate do not want a candidate that can even br perceived to be or painted as a conservative. They would trounce the real thing. This is not 1980. Whole different country. Whole different country.Without a cultural/spiritual revolution there is no hope. We live on a country of immoral adolescents. Nobody wants to grow up.
The “nightmare” is, only, beginning. My longtime existing tagline rings, even, truer, now!
That’s a fact. We reached the tipping point, and the new reality is that the users and takers outnumber the producers and makers. The transformation from a constitutional republic to a socialist nanny-state is complete.

Yep and we’ve allowed them to pass early voting laws that in some states last up to several weeks just so the lazy asses can be dragged to the polls by the dems.
Yes, I am spent, politically.
The voters have spoken.
They decided on Obama, and that includes Obamacare, homosexual marriage, massive federal debt, crushing taxes, free contraceptives, churches dictated to about their beliefs, support of a sychophantic Left wing media and the Muslim defeat of Israel.
At least I live in a conservative state that voted for Romney. However, the 25% of the population that are African American here almost to a person voted Obama. “Schwartze Uber Alles”.
Face it, we are a minority. I believe now even Ronald Reagan would lose with today’s modern voters.
“I am wondering about the “Mormon” thing. Perhaps voting for a Mormon was just too much for many Republicans, so they sat this one out? Curious numbers coming out of this election...”
Perhaps the Geriatric Old Plotters can run a culture of death, statist, gay activist Hare Krishna next time and do better?
Damn right!!!
Yes and I don’t wanna hear from people like Rush and Levin that “the public is really conservative” uh no its not.
Clearly they’re not. It’s not just about sending that socialist bastard back to office it’s the senate and ballot initiatives that passed; pro leftest.
It’s not all of the country but it’s enough that we’ll never get states like PA, or OH back again.
I’m with you on that. My days of pledging allegiance to the flag and singing the national anthem are over.
This twisted vision of what America used to be isn’t worth fighting for.
“It is time to run a true conservative”
In yesterday’s election, which voters would a “true conservative” have picked up that Romney didn’t?
I wish I had a name to offer.
I will start looking now. I’m sure there are many FReepers who have good ideas.
One essential quality for me is unquestionable eligibility. I will not support anyone whose citizenship is dubious. I don’t care how conservative or patriotic they may seem. I want a candidate who was BORN here and RAISED here. I want a candidate untainted by islam. I would much prefer someone who is not a lawyer.
I can already hear Rush... The answer is to be more conservative because it worked for Reagan.
Whatever, whoever.... the GOP is dead by its own hand
It may make many people feel good to think this is still a free America so they blame it on to the fact that the GOP has lost its conservatism which is true,
but the reason they have lost it is because they realize that American men are no longer men but have become just a bunch of little socialist children that do not have the gumption to work and take care of them selves.
Socialists are not going to vote for any one who thinks that government is not our mommy and daddy, the people in this country even many who call them selves conservatives are socialists and think it is the job of Government to take care of them.
Romney was not my choice in the primaries, but I backed him 100% in the election and worked for his campaign going door to door, handing out flyers on election day, volunteering to work campaign events.
I encouraged everyone I knew to get out and vote for Romney. So he did not get a lukewarm attitude from me.
When you nominate socialist light to compete against a true socialist, the people vote for the real deal every time.
State Governors need to stand up and call for mass civil disobedience against intolerable regulations instituted by federal apparatchiks
how so?? obama received 7 million less votes last night than he did in ‘08....George Bush received more votes in ‘04 than obama got last night...
when the GOP grows a pair and puts up a good conservative candidate they will win- plain and simple....the country is not buying what the GOP is selling because people in the party are not buying what the GOP is selling...cripes- Romney could not even pull in more votes than mclame...
Conquered? Negative. Now the insurgency begins.
The Tea Party has been hampered by not being a “real” political party. I can only speak for myself, but I suspect there are many like me who although we are fed up with wishy-washy Republican establishment candidates, have nevertheless supported them in order not to split the vote and give the election to the Dems.
Ok, we tried that. It didn’t work. They say the definition of insanity is trying the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results.
Sure we can try something entirely different and still fail. I’d rather fail in a new way than keep failing in the same old stupid way.
I will admit that I do feel an overwhelming sense of defeat this morning. I sympathize with everyone who feels beaten down and discouraged.
Losing this election is like death. And like death, we have to go through the grieving process: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
Based on the posts I’ve read, most of us are in the anger or depression stage.
I can accept the reality that we lost the election. I will never accept the loss of our country. We are on life support and I am praying and working for a miracle, a cure, anything. If that means I’m delusional, so be it.
I can’t understand why the GOPe ran without a plan “B”? There was such a low priority on Senate races, and now as the morning after dust settles, America looks just like it did yesterday. There is no way to hold Obama accountable for Benghazi, or Fast and Furious, or Obamacare. No way for conservatives to advance anything. Just a meek defense with the House under “Boner”. God help the USA!
The Tea Party has not really been an organized force. That is both its strength and its weakness.
An intelligent person or group is not one that never fails. It is one that learns from its mistakes and improves.
The Tea Party is young. It’s learning. It’s improving.
