1) Corrupt Media

If the media slanted towards Romney like they did Obama, we'd have won by ten points. Candy Crowley 2nd debate performance completely epitomized the corruptness of the media. Libya, Solyndra, Fast and Furious. Imagine those under a Republican president. We need to change the media, not ourselves. How I don't know.

2)Demographics

More minoriites, more single adults, don't spell a picture for electoral success. Bush and Rove deserve a lot blame for this, as they should have been protecting our border and our soveirgnty rather than pushing amnesty. So much for Rove's "permanent Republican majority"

3) Chris Christie

The polls turned out to very accurate, and they reflected the huge shift towards Obama after Christie's over the top, effusive praise. There's no reason he couldn't have called for a moment of unity and had both Romney and Obama tour the area.

4) Passive Candidate

Everytime Romney showed strength, he moved up in the polls. His pick of Paul Ryan, his 1st debate performance, both showed a strong side of Mitt that gave him momentun. Unfortunately he followed his 1st debate with passive performances, thinking he had the lead and trying to run out the clock. Whoever advised him to not bring up Lybia in the third debate should find new work. It is a huge scandal and Mitt deserves blame for not being confident enough in his debate skills to explain it to the American public.

[manc]

agreed we just have to explain it in more simple terms due to a population which has been ignorant and dumb

[manc]

imagine if he went after obama more and hit back, ?

People watching the debates woudl avesaid “huh what is this Libyan lie” etc
How about the border agent, Romney could have said parents want answers, they are lving in pain but no the GOP wanted to play modereate YET AGAIN

[manc]

nail on head.

The media are the enemy of this country, I ma stillstnned how many do not know who Ayers is.
Who ACORN was.
F&F
dead border agent and parents wanting answers.
Dead in Libya and then the lies and still we have no idea where obama was, did he watch the attacks live time, why the lies, did he go back to sleep as the attacks were going on?
Why to Vegas?

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD THE GOP JUST HAVE THEIR CUSHY WELL PAID JOBS AND MOST ARE NOT PUSHING FOR THE TRUTH BECAUSE THEY DON;T WANT to be targets of the media and the left.

solyndra
debt
black racism and why they voted on mass .
welfare,,
food stamps
I could go on and on about this media and we have to get together, talk radio, sites like this and then send mail, call these media outlets as well as our local ones and demand they tell the facts for once

6) massive voter fraud, including disenfranchising the military vote

[Army Air Corps]

We also have to revisit the strategies that built the conservative movement in the first place. One of the key strategies was direct expression of those principles by discussing them with friends, neighbours, and co-workers. Instead of trying to rely on pundits and talk show hosts, we should also spread the message as we did in the early days of the movement.

When the conservative movement began, there was nary a ray of daylight between the two parties. Grassroots, one-on-one conservatism changed that. It took time and effort, but it did happen. We want more conservative voters? WE have to get out there demonstrate to our fellow citizens the superiority of conservative values and principles. I say this as someone who did get lazy and didn't do as much as I should. After 6 November 2012, I have become determined to express our conservatives values with as many average voters as I can. We all know people who are open minded enough to give us a listen, if we approach them with reason and respect. To have a victory at the ballot box, we'll have to build an army one voter at a time. Is the Republic worth an hour a week to spend with an uninformed neighbour or colleague at work? I think it is.

We need to change the media, not ourselves. How I don't know.

It's easy: take jobs in the media. Want to fix the demographic problems with future generations ? Take jobs in education.

Jews know for The Tribe to survive they need to cultivate their future and foster good will in the broader culture. Conservatives need to think beyond their own nuclear families.

I’ll add another (granted) small one but one that floored me.

The Red Cross PSA (Public Service Advertisement) that featured Presidential Obama for Hurricane Sandy Relief. PSA are run by the broadcast and cable media for FREE as a public service. To have done this must have had the Obama election team rolling in the aisles - free campaign spots. Yes it was pulled later, but really why was it considered proper at all in a campaign?!?!

[Forward the Light Brigade]

These are true words—BUT we must not just talk—we must act.

1. We must create a new Media! Love him or hate him, Glen Beck did make the Blaze—This is a good thing. lets urge him to Buy up the old Current Slot on Cable and run his conservative programming nations wide (Trump can you hear me—I bet it could even make money) We need to think Grass Roots—create Tea Party Gazettes in every state, community and hollow. Conservatives need their own newspapers! We dominate Radio—lets see if we can do the same with the Print Media. We need to start Tea Party Cable TV shows on ever cable access channel in the Nation. Its not that expensive to do—just takes creative people who love their nation.
2. Dump all RINOs—don’t support them—don’t buy their line, Don’t vote for them—Gov. Christie cost us the election! He didn’t have to be so weepy eyed with Obama—that hug has cost many lives! Now look—Obama will abandon New Jersey!
3. We must reform the TEA PARTY in a New way— a more activist way! We let our foes in the Media define us as Yahoos and racists —I believe we need a new movement—The Sons of Liberty. As in the 18th Century—More in your face, more patriotic.
4. Maybe we need to start thinking like the Liberals and start to take over colleges and universities! No more—Mr. Nice Guy.
5. Freedom isn’t free! Use it or lose it!

[Behind the Blue Wall]

Exactly right. We’re all well aware of #1 and #2, but #3 and #4 were where we just basically forfeited. What in the hell is going on with the weak in the knees pansies and Benedict Arnold’s on our side? Everytime we’ve had the Dem’s on the ropes, somebody on our side stands up to stab us in the back. I don’t know how far you want to go back, but there was the bailout vote, Palin, Obamacare votes, the debt negotiations (the crybaby), the incredible Roberts’ fold on the Obamacare SCOTUS decision, Powell, Christy and then our candidate just completely letting everyone off the hook on Benghazi when he had the chance to nail him to the wall over it in front of 60 million people. With friends like these, who needs enemies?

More minoriites, more single adults, don't spell a picture for electoral success. Bush and Rove deserve a lot blame for this, as they should have been protecting our border and our soveirgnty rather than pushing amnesty. So much for Rove's "permanent Republican majority"

Bush & Rove are to blame for more single adults? Seriously? That's on the culture. What have you done in the last twenty years to espouse your values, renew the culture?

Bush & Rove wanted to "solve" the problem through amnesty to win the group for the GOP or least avoid massive erosion. Ironically, in stopping them we may have sealed the fate of the party and our nation. That could've been a pyrrhic victory. It may have been the nation's watershed, mirroring the triumph of "Prop 187" in CA only to spell the end of the state Republican party's relevancy because of demographic shift and Democrat exploitation of those new hispanic voters with no GOP counter-balancing outreach.

It may be over. It probably is.

The gay agenda war was lost in the early 1990s and Tuesday's votes clearly demonstrate the cultural and demographic shifts myself and others have warned about for some time.

Frankly speaking, immigration may have been lost in the Bush years. Here on FR, and elsewhere, Rick Perry was lambasted for his debate warnings on losing Hispanics and the importance of immigration reform. Jeb could be right; 2016 may be too late to fix the perception. Conservatives are supposed to be able facts, science, reality. Denial is not going to preserve or restore the country.

Denial is very strong in these parts when it comes to the need for outreach.

The work begins now or never; what are you doing about it? Are you just assuming immigrant populations will naturally find conservatism and know what they're told in their language media and by Democrat outreach about Republicans isn't accurate ?

Based on some prevailing attitudes on FR, many pompous "conservatives" need to stop their snarky attacks on the working poor. Inhumane and foolish in any time, there's absolutely no excuse for it during this roadkill recovery. If you're fortunate enough not to be struggling shut-up and hire.

Your step 4 is very important.

The problem is, we support corporations who support nobody.

When corporations support nobody, but we support corporations, we have what is happening now: Corporations sell out America while Americans continue to support them with their business.

I’m not sure how to do it without becoming a leftist, which I will not do, but this has got to change and right now.

Probably legally.

Except that (also) causes issues.

It is a big problem, but it has to change.

Soon.

Now.
