Next time around, they should tell voters that they don’t think a woman should be able to have an abortion even if she was raped and even if it’s to save her life because it’s God’s will that she die giving birth. That ought to win us some votes.

You guys are right, we need to split into 2 or 3 parties

I am sure the RINO’s can beat the leftists then.

Please do.

Please just go. Go away.

Go over to DU. You belong there. Not here.

How do you explain the loss of McMahon, a RINO senate candidate from CT? She lost. How do u explain Scott Brown,
a RINO from MA? As well as other RINO’s that lost, as well?

Apples and oranges. Never mind redistricting games in FL that brought Alan Grayson back to the House.

America first.

With all that “moderation”, he couldn’t even carry Massachusetts!

I think your instincts are correct about what it'll take to turn things around.

Although I do believe Romney employed the wrong strategy I know why he did what he did. I'm not mad at him.

I'm not angry at the parasites who've taken the government up on their offer for stuff others have paid for with their hard work. I'm not even angry at the brainstems who in their ignorance voted for Obama even though they will suffer themselves as a consequence.

My unreserved disgust is reserved for the media - the whole gang of pampered morons who abuse their privileged positions to peddle their sh*t to the American people. Especially the news media, because they are the motive force that has caused all of the other dominoes to fall. I live for the day they get what they so richly deserve. I hope I'm around to see it, 'cause payback they will recieve.

Romney was like a General who makes a breakthrough, but fails to consolidate and press the advantage. After the first debate, Romney had the 0bama campaign reeling, but then he pulled back and started to play it safe. He was the victim of faulty intell in that the pollsters told him he was ahead in areas where he really wasn’t. I wish he’d hit Hussein hard on Benghazi - the end results might have been the same, but 0bama would be in a corner and the public would know.

Republicans aren’t expected to win blue states but we expect them to win Senate races in states that voted for Romney.

I am no Romney lover. I opposed him until late in the game, but the fact is he worked hard and ran a great campaign. Almost a perfect campaign. One single off camera gaffe (47%). I

Right.

This election did one thing. Cleared the field.

Cleared it wide, and cleared it deep.

Time to start over.

For real.

She described Romney as a “weak, moderate candidate hand-picked by the country club elite Republican establishment.”

I thought it was kind of screwy that RINOS thought Romney could beat Obama. Not inviting Sarah Palin to speak at the RNC was a big screw up also, she could have rallied everyone together. Then when I heard Romney say he was going to "reach across the aisle" to the libtards.......

“Apples and oranges. Never mind redistricting games in FL that brought Alan Grayson back to the House.”

but you think someone like that could win the entire country?

Hey, I got a wake up call for you:

This is a Conservative site.

If you wanna peddle Mitt Romney RINOism get stuffed and do it somewhere else.

A lot of us held our nose and voted for Romney to avoid the alternative. The Republican Party should look deep inside itself and decide what it wants to be. It can’t be both a Conservative Party and a RINO Party. You can join the RINO Party and create your own site called “Moderately-Free Republic.”

“They didn’t see a clear distinction so they went with what they know,” she said of voters. “

This is precisely what happened. I had a lot of friends who were of the opinion that “both sucked anyways” so they just voted for the incumbent. Its disgusting. If my choice was a guaranteed “4 years of hell” or “4 years of not sure”...I’d chose “not sure” every time. Atleast there is the hope of success.

This is true. If Romney ran such a poor campaign, why did he outperform the republican senate candidates in every single state?

Yup.

I supported Romney because he’s who we had. But it sucked.

Big time it sucked.

Enough of letting people decide for us. Enough. No more.

Republicans for the GOP.

And just in case ANYONE wonders, that means American products and American made.

No more buying “international”.

Buy American.
