what would Reagan do?
No it was dumb to run a statist socialist commie like Romney.
When you repeat the other guy’s line, no matter how stupid or untrue it is, you sell the other guy, IMHO.
I can tell you why he did so well here in Michigan.
He talked the language of the factory floor and spoke about street level taxes and things that would create jobs immediately instead of the jobs that will eventually filter down. Things like the ridiculous way manufacturing is taxed.
The GOP-e would rather lose with a statist than win with a conservative.
Santorum would have lost 48 states.
We need a Reagan type who can handle the media and be a
leader to their party. These current clowns are a has been.
Need new people.
.... and what about the sweater vest?
Don’t mistake my criticism of Romney as an endorsement of Santorum.
Or maybe we lost because Romney is a pathological liar who, amongst many other crimes, invented Obamacare, but still chose to run and sabotage his conservative opponents, including Palin back on the even of the election that saw Obama elected in the first place.
Shutting out Governor Palin and the base, probably had the biggest effect of anything related to the convention.
It was dumb for Rick to betray America, too- but he did it anyway.
It was dumb for Santorum to think he had a chance.
***...and we’ll be the first ones at the polls on election day 2016 to pull the lever for the nominee, even if it’s Marco “Legalization First” Rubio.***
Don’t be so sure. Millions sat out the previous election. This time around there’s not much more to lose. But then again the party bosses already plugged that into their political calculation, and it’s expected. The pro-American conservative has been written off. Will it pay off for the GOP? They seem to think so.
“Not a single janitor, waitress or person who worked in that company! We didn’t care about them. You know what? They built that company too!”
Wrong, the menial laborers did not create anything. It is this feel good populist crap that these assclowns pull to out liberal the liberals.
I knew he was a stuffed sweater vest when I saw that his campaign “issues” page had an article on the horrors of pornography on the top of the bloody list. Not Obamacare. Not illegal invasion. Just a polemic against porno, followed by other insipid articles touting his virtues and large family.
I’m a Christian, but I know when someone is full of it.
I think it is a good point. I think the “You didn’t build that” was not a bad theme but it was one prong of what was needed. There was little or no talk about Obama’s “war on religion and conscience”, Sarah Palin wasn’t there which immediately deflated the convention unnecessarily. Those same people who are always going on about a “big tent” didn’t have room for Palin and I think that speaks to the Romney problem. It was a perfectly forgettable convention outside of ‘the empty chair skit’. I enjoyed a lot of it but it was not overly inspiring not in the way George W Bush and his team knew how to throw a convention and inspire. The Romney team was so worried about appearances that the convention came off like a the perfect cocktail party that everyone says was so nice but did little to touch a heart. Ann Romney came the closest but in the end it was a convention that left me wondering “is there not more?”.
Christie did absolutely nothing for Romney at that convention. Christie promoted Christie and now we know that really that is what Christie is about. He gets to be the cool fat boy and he’s selling his soul out to keep that position. I really thought he could be something special but instead of helping build the Republican party he has helped build his own little fan club. I guarantee he wont be out there going full in for whoever the Senate candidate is for the October Special election and that should be his end as a Republican.
