That is true.
However, the DOC supports this (polygomy), although the BOM does support it.
The truth is, pubs should not nominate a morman. Anyone that believes in this nonsense will not receive a vote from those that are Bible believers, or believe in families.
” Even though Romney was not the ideal candidate, I think enough conservatives voted for “anyone but Obama” and enough independents had enough of Obama’s anti-business and socialism. Obama won by fraud.”
We lost 4+ million conservative /Christian voters.
A very rich, very liberal, Mormon is the worst person we could have run. Obama sucked for 4 years. He should have lost easily, fraud or no fraud.
I’m a bit shocked that any FReeper would overlook the degree to which 0bama engaged in ‘abuse of power’ to win re-election. Looking at ANYTHING Romney did or didn’t do is USELESS. With our entire government (NSA, DOJ, IRS, EPA, FEC, etc.) and the news media working 24/7 to PIMP for 0bama, Ronald Reagan would’ve lost against 0bama.
There are five reasons that Obama beat Romney
1. Obama had a far superior ground game in GOTV, including the use of microtargeting and social media data-mining strategies.
2. Romney did not keep up the pressure on Obama after the first debate, and fizzled in the 2nd and 3rd debates.
3. Hurricane Sandy, and the aftermath. Romney still had momentum after the debates, but lost it all due to Sandy and Obama’s response, and MSM coverage of it. Furthermore, Romney and the GOP significantly curtailed campaign activities for the week surrounding the storm while the Democrats went into overdrive.
4. Too many down ticket weak candidates. Akin and Thompson are the few that come to mind.
5. No effective strategy to counter the MSM’s outright bias for Obama and the Democrats.
” There are five reasons that Obama beat Romney”
Just one....Romney.
If you consider illegally using Facebook data, the IRS, the FEC, the DOJ, and the NSA as campaign headquarters then, so.. Yeah right. "Superior"??? Obama had an egregiously criminal ground game and should be in federal prison.
The IRS scandal is 10x more serious than Watergate because it deterred Republicans from getting donors. I don't consider 'superior' as the proper label for brazen and widespread federal crimes committed by an incumbent president.
Romney deliberately took a dive just like Juan McLame took a dive in 2008. Romenycare didn’t want to be President, per his son, ran a phoney campaign, sabotaged his own supporters, and said nothing about Obama’s election fraud. Obama is so terrible, so disliked, such a talentless, worthless, meritless punk that it took the combined efforts of the Obama and Romney machines to get Barry back into the White House.
Nice guy finishes last,,,, again
Romney lost because he played the nice guy. I personally could have come up with a dozen TV ads that would have gotten almost ANY Republican candidate elected against Obama.
Didn’t read the article I guess.
RE: I personally could have come up with a dozen TV ads that would have gotten almost ANY Republican candidate elected against Obama.
Let’s read the theme of at least one of them...
“Romney’s biggest mistake:
Not playing Bruce Springteen’s song, “Born in the USA” out on the campaign trail at every stop.”
Very true and apt. I would have played the song and had a huge poster of OweBowMao not putting his hand over his heart when the anthem was played.
I wanted Romney to win because he was a CEO, and the country needed that kind of green eye-shade expertise even if he was a typical RINO.
Romney lost because he was Romney and the GOP demographic is rapidly shrinking. It’s that simple.
RomneyCare = Obamacare, so the base stayed home. The bloody primary fight didn't help, either.
I still maintain that if Romney had repudiated his signature legislation when he first announced for president and declared that if he had an opportunity for a do-over, he would have vetoed it, he would have gotten the base behind him early on and avoided the long primary slog. This would have given him a fighting chance, because he would have been able to be a better advocate for Obamacare repeal. Considering how unpopular Obamacare is, if Romney had truly been able to make the case for repeal he probably would have won.
They won't. They can't "wise up" and still retain their cushy power base. That would mean they'd actually have to do what voters sent them to D.C. to do -- be aggressive against Marxist Dems who have turned America into a banana republic.
Don't ask me for a solution; i don't have one. All i know is that I'll never hold my nose while voting again. And i may be wrong, but it seems that there are many, many conservatives who feel the same way, especially after the Romney vs. EveryoneElse fiasco they forced down our throat. Which means we may as well start another party if the GOP doesn't wise up..
And they won't!
“Why Romney Lost”
No guts, afraid to take on Bam, sat on a lead, listened to RINO @$$holes, kept quiet on Benghazi.
“Let’s read the theme of at least one of them...”
1. Slow panning vids and pics of Detroit ruins with Vangelis’s “Blade Runner” opening theme music in the background with overlay of numerous grim economic stats read by announcer’s voice.
2. Group of armed Taliban sitting around their campfire at night speaking Pashu (or whatever) with translation captions. Lots of knee-slapping and great big belly laughs about U.S. withdrawal, rules of engagement making it easy to slaughter U.S. soldiers, laughingly enumerating all the benefits at Guantanamo if captured, all the help they’ve been getting from released Guantanamo terrorists, etc.
3. Much more hard hitting ads about “others built that”. Extremely angry and sarcastic remarks interspersed with brilliant accomplishments by individual entrepreneurs. In their own words if possible.
4. Hammer Obama on green cronyism, failed and bankrupted businesses, money given away to rich fatcat donors, abandoned factories, pics of abandoned windmill farms, etc.
5. One ad emphasizing the bowing and scraping and apology tour.
All ads would attack Obama’s record and all would stretch the truth almost to the breaking point. All would be designed to elicit powerful emotional responses, primarily anger.
Quite frankly, the material just wrote itself, but the Pubs didn’t want to be perceived as “mean”. Meanwhile, they were being torn to shreds by the entire Democrat/Commie media anyway, with not one negative thing said about the Obammunists. Not one.
Gee, I wonder why...
I strongly disagree.
Romney never believed in our most fundamental American ideals, but was wholly in sync with liberal orthodoxy, e.g., his long held support for gay 'marriage', the AGW fraud, gun grabs, abortion, higher taxes, and gov't run health care.
Bottom line - Romney isn't a conservative, never was, and is a Democrat In All But Name Only, which is why a good percentage of the base didn't turn out to vote for him.
He lost to Obama because he's a milquetoast liberal with an R velcroed to his sleeve.
Romney lost because he was a leftist pretending to be conservative and people did not buy it
