All these political brainiacs to give their analysis on how Romney lost but the answer is simple. There are just more takers out there and they out number us.
The electorate has changed...it’s firggin’ goofy.
Did Coulter have anything to say about her boy Christie doing his part in sinking Gov. Romney?
Coulter, both of your boys flubbed. When you see Christie again, thank him from the bottom of our hearts for that big hug he gave Commrade Barak Hussein!
The electorate has changed...it’s friggin’ goofy.
As if either of them really has a clue. But, they do make oodles of money pretending they know.
What a great gig. Freakin’ Dick Morris and his “landslide”. I could just kick the little toe sucker’s butt right now. Instead, little Dickie gets to run to the bank with piles of cash.
much better to debate how Obama won it without trying all that hard.
His campaign was a masterpiece of marketing and troops on the ground. The US has never experienced such, IMO
During the primaries, Coulter & Drudge pushed Romney and ignored the others. Drudges headlines were all Romney all day.
(Don’t get me wrong—I believe Romeny is probably a great guy)
But—Romeny was not tough enough.
He ran a Mr Rogers campaign. Nice guy—not tough enough for dealing with the lying, dirty, cheating left.
Don’t bring a wet noodle to a smash fest.
Anyone else having second thoughts on the 19th Amendment?
Now she needs to completely disown Christie. Her infatuation with that RINO jerk should be long over - she should acknowledge it publicly (and loudly) now, if she hasn't already.
Coulter. Lost me with early pushing of Romney over a conservative
Constitutional illiteracy, brought on by neglect of the ideas of liberty--that is the primary reason we are continuing on the road to tyranny under deficit, debt, and government control! The secondary reason is the GOP's failure to use its billion-dollar campaign to focus like a laser on educating voters!
During the primary season, one of my FR posts stated the following in response to a Jonah Goldberg comment about Romney:
Sorry, Jonah, but this is not as simple as "not speaking the language (of conservatism) naturally." When a person is steeped in the ideas of Jefferson, Adams, Madison, and Washington, it just "naturally" slips through in the ideas they convey. Remember Reagan?Do Republicans seriously want to conserve America's constitutional principles? Or, are they just objecting to Democrats? Do they have a passion for liberty? Is this just about changing the Party in power, or is it about preserving freedom?
If their concern is for convincing enough voters to reject the idea of "a government big enough to give you everything you want" and turn to advocacy for "a government small enough to allow you freedom to keep most of what you earn," then they'd better get busy seeing that someone is nominated who has been "marinated" (to use a word coined by Ingraham last night on "The Factor") in the Founders' ideas (isn't that what conservatives purport to "conserve"?).
So far (February 2012), Mitt Romney, though a good man, demonstrates no such "immersion." He has been "successful" in benefiting from those ideas, and he recites familiar words and phrases from patriotic speeches and songs, but that is different from understanding and being able to call up and articulate the philosophy which made such success possible.
Ronald Reagan's life and letters reveal that he had "immersed" himself in those ideas for years before he agreed to run for President, and that is why he could set "issues" in light of constitutional "principle." and explain his advocacy or rejection of solutions in by that light.
The other three candidates in the Primary--Paul, Santorum, Gingrich--couch their answers to questions in a manner which indicates personal pursuit and understanding of the Constitution's protections, each in his own way.
Of the two so-called "frontrunners," however, the lifetime history scholar, teacher, legislator, and participant in what was called "the Reagan revolution," appears to be the one most likely to be able to successfully articulate and distinguish those ideas to voters, if given the chance to compete with the "counterfeit ideas" of tyranny cloaked in righteous benevolence by Obama.
Is "politics as usual" to win the day, or might we not bring Gingrich, Santorum, Paul, and others who embrace founding principles together to help to create a "passion" for liberty among citizens sufficient to defeat the counterfeit ideas which are leading the Republic to ruin?
The following is excerpted from "Our Ageless Constitution," p. 181:
"It was John Adams who said: "The foundation of every government is some principle or passion in the minds of the people." Clearly, the Founders' passion was liberty, and in order to secure that liberty, they sought out and incorporated into the United States Constitution those ideas and principles embodied in the Declaration of Independence.
"The French historian, Guizot, once asked James Russell Lowell, "How long will the American republic endure?" Lowell replied: "As long as the IDEAS of the men who founded it continue dominant."
"Herein lies the answer to the question, "Will the Experiment Succeed?"
"It can and will succeed IF the motivating "principle or passion in the minds of the people" is LIBERTY, and if that passion causes them to exert the determination and will to complete the needed restoration of the IDEAS upon which the great American experiment was based." ---(End of excerpted material)
My call to the GOP and all lovers of liberty is the same as then! To rediscover and recover liberty from the hands of those who are turning America into just another failing nation dominated by a government-over-people ideology, a determined and massive education effort should begin November 7, 2012, focused on the teaching of the fundamental principles essential to the survival of individual liberty for a people.
The Conservative fighters split the vote of Conservatives once again and the rich, monied, supported by the establishment RINO won the primary again. We were doomed when everyone else ran out of money before a third of the country had a chance to vote for them.
Romney almost had it, when everyone rallied behind him anyway, but he went and blew it himself by playing safe.
Well, here we are. Drudge, Rove, Ingraham, and Coulter can eat nice fresh feces for their collective parts in this.
“When you touch the Romney button it changes to Romney.” That report come from many locations during the early voting phase. Surely many more people than complained did not even notice that their votes had been switched. How many machines were better hacked so that the switch didn’t show up on the screen? Only Democrats will win presidential elections from here on out. Other elections will be controlled by the Democrats and the percentage of nonDemocrats elected to anything will steadily decline. This was not our last chance. 1908 was our last chance, at least peaceably.
Yes, the tipping point has been crossed. The Takers beat the Makers.
And the Takers numbers will increase in the next four years. The truth
is we have become a taker society. It will only get worse.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I almost totally agree with Coulter. And, by the way, what Christie did was politically unforgivable.
America still has enough Christians to decide an election. The republican party has offered us no one standing up for our values. We weren’t invited to the republican convention. Dirty tricks were used in keeping the right away from the convention while voting took place on important issues. Supporting bleeding heart lefties in Massachusetts while disowning others in states like Missouri.
Do the top dogs in the Republican Party think the little people are brain dead?
I am no longer a republican, haven’t been for several years. They lost me way back with Dole, Bush 2 and McCain. I did vote for Romney but not because he was a republican.
...loves her some Mitt Romney & Chris Christie!
Lest we not forget that wimmin are a big reason we got him agin.
