Enough already with the spirit of defeat by our friends here. Show some backbone and stop bashing Republicans. We lost the election due to rigid concepts over religion so Romney s faith kept voters home. We should have won easy. A house divided cannot stand.
Please stop bashing our allies and let the Obama chickens come home to roost. Obama will pay for his blindness. Let us stop hating our own.
Yes, we should Unite and elect MORE Republicans...
(You can go nd lect more democrats)
We need unity and leave the blame game to the enemy.
The republicans have been demonized daily in newspapers, television, radio, magazines way before Obama, now they outright lie for him. When the republicans begin to publicly and aggressively speak out about the media bias, only then can we defeat the enemy. Remember the SC Debates with Gingrich when he outed the media?
Yeah, as if that'll do any good. Most of 'em are really Democrats anyway......
Romney might have won had he not blown the final two debates. Why didn't he protest when Candy Crowley kibbitzed in Debate #2? Why didn't he even mention Benghazi in Debate #3? That might have been a knockout punch.
Romney's squishy moderate-ness didn't help him, but that's not the main reason he lost. The main reason he lost is because we as a nation allowed the news media and all of our cultural institutions to be taken over by Leftists. If the media had been even remotely objective in their coverage of the election, Romney would be preparing for his inauguration right now, having won in a landslide. The GOP cannot and will never win another presidential election as long as every non-Fox mainstream media outlet is openly and aggressively propagandizing for the Democratic Party. The American people, sadly, are too stupid to withstand its effects.
The second reason is the intellectually degenerative effect of Political Correctness--America's dominant new religion. Had Obama been white, there is little chance he would have been elected to the White House even once, let alone twice.
I don't buy that for a minute. Conservatives are not that stupid. I could see that happening if this were 1996 or even 2000 but not a re-election of Barack Hussein Obama. Conservatives in their right mind would not stay home and allow an anti-American communist beat a liberal in the general election. Too much at stake. There's the children and grandchildren to think about and their future. Conservatives are for Family not for this.
The only Conservatives that may have stayed home are the Republican-conservatives who aim to punish the GOPe for not accepting their conservative candidate. They are basically party above nation conservatives who would prefer to see the nation spiral into the bowels of Hell before they would vote for republican that is not their guy. They are, in the long run, republicans first, Americans and Family second.
There was too much at stake this time around. Conservatives lost because we have become out numbered and there's a lot of people scared and without a job and no idea where the next pay check will come from to make ends meet and provide for the family. They voted BIG Government out of fear and panic. Obama knows exactly what he's doing. He's winning and we're losing.
By the way, Mitt Romney was second to last on my list next to the crazy uncle. I was not a Romney supporter for the very reasons you listed but I sure as heck was not stupid enough to let Obama get a second term without at least doing my part to see him lose.
Choose Obama over Romney? C'mon, conservatives - Real Conservatives are smarter than that.
We're out numbered. John Boehner needs to go or we will lose the House in 2014.
Even George Soros admitted there wasn't a lick of difference between Obama and Romney.
I second that!
I’m in full agreement on that. Those would have been risky moves, but Romney and his advisers didn’t want to risk losing more than 51%/49%.
51% turnout, 160% turn out in a few places. You’re assuming that there was no voter fraud.
Obama is not going to pay for what he is doing, we are. We already are paying with the loss of American lives in the Middle East.
The only way to end the circular firing squads that dominate the Republican party is take back control of the party from the media. We should never allow the media to run another Republican debate. The debates should be run by organizations or schools, like the Heritage Foundation and Hillsdale College. It would avoid giving an opening for attacking each other and force the Democrats to do all the attack ads, themselves.
Second, we do need a decent spokesperson, who has a sense of humor but can also take a firm position on issues. We haven’t had one for a long time.
I have news for you. People (Sean Hannity, Marco Rubio) who want amnesty for illegal aliens are not my allies.
The GOP has historically barely tolerated the conservatives within its ranks. They’re ashamed of the “nutjobs” who go on and on about God and abortion and homosexuals. I’ve had enough. If you don’t care about any of those issues, the GOP might be for you.
When you see something NOT worth “bashing” from those gutless cowards, let me know.
I don’t think any precints had 100% turnout, just that 100% of those that voted did for Obama. Still sounds fishy though.
Yes, I do. Short answer. We're talking about a pResident that decides when Congress is and is not in session. We're talking about an administration that publically claimed ObamaCare had penalties of fees but in court they called them taxes. I trust anybody over Obama when it comes to our rights. ANYBODY.
Romney lost for a few reasons. One was massive fraud. It must be fixed, if we ever hope to throttle the federal government monster.
And Boo Hoo Boner will be re-elected by his constituents.
We lost the election due to rigid concepts over religion so Romney s faith kept voters home.
Romney lost because he is a liberal. Not because of his faith.
Romney lost because people figured out that voting is easier than working.
The Election was the biggest Fraud in my lifetime
RACISSM!
Romney lost because of hsi gun grabber pro-homosexual marriage liberal justice appointing past and massiove vote fraud by Obama.
The big drop off in Republican voters that lost us the last two presidential elections
Romney pissed-off too many Conservatives with his flood of negative attacks during the primaries.
this was actually a very tight election, and bodes well for future Republican victories
conservatives lost the election in the Republican primaries
It's socialism more than Race
Racism, you know
we lost by a combo of single issue voters who refused to look at the whole picture; union efforts; voter fraud; the work of the MSM; low information O worshipers, and lack of unity amongst republicans.
Romney lost because he couldnt win over voters, not because of religion.
Well that pretty much covers the waterfront. Ever since election night I have been calling on FReepers to hold their fire until we know exactly what happened. If we want to lose the next election let us blunder on ignorant and fixed in our own opinion so that we will be doomed to lose the next election just as shockingly as the last.
Newt Gingrich is the only man so far that I know of who has commented intelligently on the debacle.
