We had that chance in 2012, but 4 million decided to stay home. This will not be stopped.

The ONLY "chance" we had of defeating Obama's agenda in 2012 was to nominate a conservative. Unfortunately, Romney adopted as scorched-earth policy used his money to make sure that EVERY conservative candidate was destroyed.

I honestly don't know why the RINO lovers even care that Romney lost, NOTHING would be different with Romney as president.

People need to understand that Obama is basically imitating Romney's policies as governor of Massachusetts:
- Romney imposed Romneycare. Obama duplicated it for Obamacare.
- Romney imposed taxpayer-funded abortion, so did Obama.
- Romney imposed same-sex "marriage," so is Obama.
- Romney tried to ban AR-15s, so is Obama.

What you need to get through your head is that when the voted are given the choice between two liberals with nearly identical positions, the one with the "D" after their name will typically win.

I agree. Romney tried to run as liberal-lite, and it cost him his conservative voters who wrote him off. The moderates still went for Obama and Romney was left without his conservative base. Result: he took a shellacking.

It was a poorly thought out strategy that thought they could cut into Obama's own voters, but all it accomplished was costing him his own. To the general goes the blame for bad strategy.

That said, only a thoroughly dishonest person could possibly believe that the 2nd amendment doesn't also include ammunition. "Arms" are not "arms" unless they are complete and lethal. Knives and swords without blades, bows without arrows? If there is a penalty that can be levied for frivolous action certain to be found lacking, then they need to throw the book at these people.

If we don't support the freep-a-thons, we are in jeopardy of losing free republic in the not too distant future. Jim Robinson is getting older, and there comes a time when everyday headaches say, "Is it time to retire?"

A major problem is that we had no A-team candidates in the running. Sarah Palin chose to sit out the election and Jim De Mint, once considered presidential timber, had vanished from the scene. All we had left were has-beens and never-will-bes.
