Well put.
We need to recognize that the Republican Party is a party without an ideology, only an appetite (for power).
Nonetheless, it is the only vehicle available by which the Tea Party can achieve victory. A third party -- a "Tea Party" -- is a fool's errand that would ensure Democrat dominance for, literally, ever.
Best that the Tea Party remain aloof and independent from the Republican Party -- influencing from outside, beyond the party's control. But, at the same time, we need to actively infiltrate the party -- with the aim of eventually controlling the leadership.
This was how the radical left took over the Democrat party. In 1968, they were across the street, in Grant Park, protesting the Democrat National Convention. In 1972, they were inside the building.
“In other words, America is dead and gone.
I concur. It is every man for himself now. Good luck.”
Why not? Screw it all. Let’s go fishing.
For 2016, it is critical that conservatives coalesce around a single conservative option early on. Or else the conservative gaggle will just get Romneyfied again.
I am still contending that Obama knew he had this election won before the first debate even took place. He showed up to that debate basically mailing it in.
I don’t think Obama lost voters. I think those were Romney votes which were mysteriously lost. I don’t buy into the 59 predicts and not 1 Romney vote.
Ditto !
Although, I gotta wait til hunting season’s over...
WE could also add to this the many hours the sheeple spend voting for an American Idol. This country is going down the crapper.
I must have been working and missed this news.....Please post exact source.
6-9 million white voters missing
assuming the gop make up 40% of those voting.. that would be about 56m
i said early on... 10-15% of the right will never vote for a mormon due to the differences in religion
that equates to 5.6 - 8.4m people... or 6-9 million if you round
(how much do they pay these political advisers again?)
Be careful out there. Keep an eye out for illegal aliens, especially the Hmongs.
I understand that but that's largely because Obama got something like 5% less turnout. Which means he doesn't have a whole lot of political capital to make mistakes now.
But I believe Romney won more votes than McCain did last time around.
Obama got 5% fewer votes than last time.

You must have been sleeping for the last 12 months. Google it, you’ll find it easily, from credible sources. I’m not going to do research for somebody who hasn’t been following the news.
We've been 'HAD', as they say. Never trust an INELIGIBLE president and a FRAUD with a STOLEN birth certificate, STOLEN social security numbers and FORGED selective service card to allow an election to transpire honestly and without corruption, meddling and FRAUD.
The biggest FRAUD ever perpetrated on the American people is 0bama and his presidency. The second biggest FRAUD ever is the 2012 election, RIGGED by our government and their puppet unions. We want to believe that our election was free and fair. What's free and fair when the DOJ AG Eric Holder pursues ANYONE seeking to implement Voter I.D. laws? Hmmmm.. I wonder why 0bama pushed Early Voting and CRUSHING anyone who wanted voters to prove who they were at the polls? This election was a CROCK OF B.S. and more of the same from the CRIMINAL REGIME.
you are right about the Romney vote.

This is a good place to follow it. There’s supposed to be a better one on the Cook report, but I don’t see why anyone needs more than this for this type of discussion.
This is a great place for historical statistics

All those people standing in line and beating each other up were definitely BO voters. That’s who they are.
I do think that a lot of it was just that the social conservatives either decided that they could not support a Mormon or that Romney did not share their values, and they just decided not to vote. If that is the case, then they just committed political suicide. Romney’s defeat really marks the end of social conservatism as a viable political movement. In the next 4 years, Obama will appoint at least 2 and maybe 3 Supreme Court justices, all of which will be of the hard left variety, like Sotomayor and Kagan. Once he’s done, the liberals are going to steamroll over the entire conservative social agenda, flattening it like a pancake, and constitutionalizing the entire liberal social agenda. I suppose once that happens, people like Ryan and Santorum can talk about conservative social issues if they want, but there won’t be anything they can do to implement them.
Do you think they destroyed Romney votes or just kept a pool of people on call they’d drive to various precincts to vote as many times as they’d need them? In the Prosser election , Kathy Nickolaus in Waukesha county did a very effective thing by holding back vote totals until the Dems reported from their strongholds. She’s the only Republican who’s had the guts to do that in my memory. Meanwhile, currently for the November 6 election, California and New York in particular are still counting huge numbers of ballots. So why should Republican jurisdictions be any more fastidious about rapid reporting than the Democrats are/ we ought to hold, hold, hold, until the Dems have no idea what the target they have to shoot for is. It’s irrefutable that this happens, look at Hillary campaign’s complaints about Gary IN in the primary against Obama 4 years ago.
This regime can’t even call a TERRORIST ATTACK ON OUR EMBASSY ON 9/11 A ‘TERRORIST ATTACK’. They’re STILL laying smoke screens, cries of ‘racism’, blah blah blah.. I don’t trust ANYTHING this regime says or does. 0bama has his unions engaged in a SHUT DOWN of our private sector to propel his mission of ‘government takeover’ of our economy FORWARD. If they can shut down iconic American companies like Hostess at the expense of 18,500 employees, just imagine what they can do in Swing State precincts. Conspiracy? YES.
I refuse to believe we didn’t have a turnout
we had voter fraud through electronic voting machines
