If we cannot form a party and back people with conservative values, we deserve what we get.

At the moment, I'd just settle for values and principles of some form. There is presently a vacuum where those things should be.

[ Poor Ryan, did he know? ]

Does it make a difference?........ wise up..
VOTING DIED!.. it became ridiculous.. fanciful thinking.. a diversion..

The only ones to VOTE now will be the UNINFORMED...
Obama is a sock puppet.. and Romney seems to have been their Plan “B”..

Brilliant really.. Saul Alinsky carried out with almost perfection.. as Beck WARNED...
“Top down, Bottom up, Inside out”..

then re-route that info to others who were going to contact those who didnt vote

Who were these "others"? Central Committee? Romney volunteers?

[Cyropaedia]

Remember what Jack Welch and Rupert Murdoch were saying about the guys in charge of Romney's campaign? And how they were no match for the Chicago boys running Obama's operation...?

How in the world could the GOP allow a presidential campaign with a worse ground game than the one McCain had...? I thought Romney was supposed to be competent.

Twice the money, this time around, what did they actually do with it...? How in the hell could they essentially leave 35,000 people stranded like that? It seems there had do be moles within the operation.

What have I been saying? He was running for POTUS for 6 years and had no plan?

Come on now! This is maddening beyond words.

The author of the book gave me a copy at a business symposium once, and I've never forgotten the basic principle.

Love is the Killer App

In an age of increasing dependence on technology -- with automated and remote communications -- human contact and authentic interest attain value far in excess of the time committed.

[GVnana]

It appears that in its singular focus on competing technologically with the Obama campaign, the Romney team neglected to adequately account for and organize the essential human element necessary to any grassroots undertaking. Thus when its technological efforts failed, the campaign was left without a Plan B, and its volunteers were forced to fly blind at the moment the campaign needed them most.

"I think sometimes people get enamored of technology and they take people out of the mixture because its easier," Republican strategist Dave Carney told Business Insider.

That, and the apparent belief that getting people to the polls could be accomplished at the last minute with no prior contact. Complete lack of reach to voters and stupidly passive strategy.

[GlockThe Vote]

The enite concept of ORCA seems absurd to me and complately delusional.

Lemme guess no voter id in your state?
