And everything is in place for them to be a very friendly environment for RINOs.

Let's just say these are friendly environments for the Uniparty, and all their supporters, i.e. the Main Stream Media.

As long as everyone keeps holding their nose, there’s no reason to do anything about the stench.

I live in the state of Florida which had the largest number of electoral votes ‘in contention’ in the entire national election. If Romney was going to fight, he would have done it here. It’s not like we hadn’t seen him fight in Florida before. We were bombarded night and day on TV, radio, and in mailings with every bad thing, real or imaginary Romney could think up to tar Newt Gingrich in the primary. Sometimes I had up to six to eight mailers a week full of lies, telling me Newt Gingrich was the cause of every imagined evil on earth.

When people brought up the lies Romney was spreading about Gingrich in Florida, right here on FreeRepublic, Romney people said, Romney’s such a fighter, just think how he’ll go after Obama! I waited weeks to see that “fighter” show up. He never did. He had every opportunity to flood the airwaves on Obama as he had done with Gingrich. He could easily have reminded people of all the onerous things Obama had done starting with the roundly hated Obamacare. Any conservative would have torn into Obama, Obamacare and every other thing he has done. But as we all know very well, Romney was not about to go after his own grandchild, Obamacare. Socialist Romney was not about to try to make any liberal or liberal idea look bad. He only opposes conservatives.

Nothing on radio about what Obama was doing to tear down this country, or its military. He flat out lied about his position on the border and when he spoke in Florida, he had already started the switch back to his pro-amnesty position. (Etch-a-sketch) There was an occasional bland, milquetoast TV ad, about his vision for the future and if I got any mailers at all, they were just as nondescript as the TV ads. Even if Romney thought Obama was ‘in just a little over his head,’ he said nothing about how he would be better. Just vague terms about being a businessman. No reminders of how bad Obama was. No attempt to contrast himself at all. Not even a mention about the economy.

You have to give the people a reason to vote for you. Romney never did. Romney supporters need to face the fact that Romney lost Florida. Once that was mission accomplished, he turned tail and ran out of the state, knowing full well he wasn’t going to win the election. An insurance policy for the socialists, he had done his job. Just like McCain before him.

Now you snookered supporters have to save face. OH it’s not the fact that the liberal (r) Romney had no intention of running against Obama. Just because people saw that he refused to run against Obama and wouldn’t come out and vote for him anyway was just mean. Just because Romney refused to go against anything Obama did was no reason not to vote for him. Conservatives are just mean and selfish. /s

Go cry to the UniParty. You get no sympathy for your non competing candidate here.

He sucked, end of story.

What’s the definition of insanity, again?

Those missiles are sure to pop anybody’s balloon, even Mitt’s. Were you a Gunner in the military, or do you just know something about weaponry for combat?

My first two years in Germany, I was a Platoon Leader at a composite Chaparral/Towed Vulcan battery. Our battalion's mission was the short range air defense for three NATO air bases: Hahn, Spangdahlem, and Bitburg.

The unit was deactivated at least 15 years ago. The motto for 6/56 ADA is "Night Hides Not", as it was originally a searchlight battalion in WWI.
