"It is not, as many “conservative” media personalities insist, that Romney is a “RINO” (Republican-In-Name-Only)."

Yeah, it is. The reason Romney lost, is because he's a liberal, plain and simple.

Some folks still insist upon blaming Romney's loss on Republican voters, but the fact is, many of them took a hard look at his record and realized that the GOP-e was trying to sell them a Democrat In All But Name Only.

Had our nominee been a reasonably passable conservative, he (or she) would have beat Obama soundly.

I don't think there was a candidate in the race that could have won from our side. As much as I like Palin, I doubt she would have won either. Newt? He would have been dispatched in a heartbeat, likely a much worse beat down than Romney. Santorum? He would have barely gotten 42% of the vote. Bachmann? She couldn't even make it to the first cut of the primaries. Perry? He barely made it beyond Bachmann with all his money, virtually self destructed in the early debates.

The main reasons Romney lost:

1. A corrupt media who has taken sides, reports only what will help its chosen candidate. Benghazi, the economy, horrendous foreign policy, crony capitalist corruption (a combo of fascism and Marxism), fast and furious, ad infinitum ad nauseum unreported on. The debate "moderator" mysteriously having the quotes Barcky wanted her to say when challenged on Benghazi. Lots more, nuff said.
2. A corrupt vote. This is a far more serious issue than is being told. By itself it likely came close to swinging the election.
3. A corrupt president who audited donors, prevented the TEA party from gaining traction through the IRS and other forms of executive intimidation against conservatives of all stripes through multiple federal agencies.
4. A corrupt democrat machine that ran a ruthless, lying campaign to perfection without a watchdog media.
5. A Republican base that had enough people stupid enough to believe that a USA hating Marxist wasn't worth going to the polls to get rid of. Axelrod loved trolling conservative sites with his paid Mobies giving out the meme that there was no difference.
6. Romney himself was not a great candidate, a RINO squish who didn't see his opposiiton for what it was. Unfortunately as stated earlier, and I hate to admit this on 20/20 hindsight, he was the best of the candidates who ran. The rest would have done worse against all these other problems. I'm saying this as a strong Palin supporter who turned to Newt during the primary, and yes, again, it's 20/20 hindsight.
7. An America that is being fundamentally changed in its voter base. The "yout" vote has been totally taken over by the democrat/media/hollywood complex. Stupid, vapid, no knowledge of American history, its dream or exceptionalism.
8. An America that has slowly accepted that it's right to turn to government for its problems. It's difficult to beat Santa Clause and his free stuff.
9. A GOP that can't deal with the above realities.
10. A conservative movement that can't deal with the above realities.

There's more to say, an essay in each of the points made, several more points to make, but I can't hardly face saying any more without throwing up......:-(
