Mitt Romney was not the conservative candidate of our dreams, but I don’t believe he deserves to be trashed. Sure, we can criticize campaign performance and weaknesses, but unlike McCain, Romney wanted to win and he fought for it.
He is also a good man and an accomplished man. If we trash that and ridicule him for being financially successful, we are no better than the welfare state addicts who re-elected Obama.

I agree and would like to add: America turned down a great opportunity to get its economy in order. He lost now leave him the hell alone.
Agree. Although his chief campaign strategy must take responsibility for sitting on a load of cash and not answering and rebutting the DNC attempt to define Romney as an evil Bain capitalist, for concentrating solely on the economic issue and not bringing up ads about the Rats booing God at the DNC and issues of Obama’s support for gay marriage. These issues may have either turned off some independents or they may have stayed home..
Even Mitt would tell you that depending on the time of day. And he has.
Romney deserves to be trashed every bit. He had an opportunity to tell the world just who zero is and he decided to be the gracious loser which was exactly why he was chosen. No one else could have or would have done that. We all sat and watched an election stolen in broad daylight and no one did a thing. Navel gaze all you want but facts are a “difficult thing”. The GOP won’t do a damn thing about it either because if folks realized there ain’t any reason to mail them checks then the honey stops. Sad to say but people make mistakes and sometimes they make them in groups. Mistakes have consequences that, like gravity, can’t be turned off. Over the last couple decades we missed a couple opportunities to maybe blunt the impact or spread out the pain but we let “him who stalks the Earth” confuse and confound us and we just plain missed those opportunities. Sometimes being able to see what is really going on ain’t a blessing.
I wasn’t the biggest fan of Mitt for President. Voted for him, and will give him credit for the hard work he did put into the campaign. Let’s be honest, he was covering a lot of ground and had to battle the MSM who completely ignored: Fast & Furious, Benghazi, and the list goes on. I read or heard somewhere that some of the analysts were claiming Mitt was too scripted. When it comes to being scripted, Obama is king.
This election came down to a mass of people, I won’t even call them Americans, that were more concerned with either race or handouts. I fear it really is that simple. What does concern though is the exit polling and the number of military Obama received.
The even larger issue is that the RNC doesn’t embrace a conservative message, and is incapable of explaining what that really means.
That simply isn't so. Romney campaigned for it, but he didn't fight for it. He totally disengaged from any discussion of Benghazi, the scandal of our lifetime. He avoided that real discussion of budget and ObamaCare that he promised with the nomination of Ryan. For all practical purposes, Ryan became a prop on stage, his mouth taped shut.
But Romney's most egregious ommission was Benghazi. He had a winning hand dealt to him and he refused to even play it, thinking he could just run out the clock on the strength of his first debate performance.
