I thought Romney was an awful candidate, but I think JR did the right thing by finally deciding it was ABO, and that was one of the things that convinced me to vote for Romney. I think more people (you libertarians know who you are) should have voted for Romney, because he would have been nowhere near as bad as Obama is going to be in the next four years.

The other thing that made me vote for Romney was Ryan...who it appears was immediately muzzled by the Romney campaign. Fat lot of good that did - I did it this time, but I’m not doing it again: I’m not voting for VP.

We’ve got to do this differently next time around, people. Even the odious Peggy Noonan thought it sucked, and if she, the ur-liberal, wasn’t on board, I know the GOP-e program is in serious trouble. Mutiny on the Bounty.

I live in the DC area and find it strange that the number of Obama bumper stickers has seemingly gone up five fold since the election. I drive around a lot and always look for bumper stickers and today I was overwhelmed by the number of stickers I saw. It is like a bunch of queers suddenly coming out of the closet.

The maelstrom of political controversy regarding Free Republic founder Jim Robinson and his attitude towards the then Republican presidential candidate front runner and odds-on favorite to win the nomination, as anointed by the msm as the weakest candidate in the Repuplican field, was one punctuated by severe criticism of Mr. Robinson for his uncompromising, vituperative take-no-prisoners stance towards the liberal bent, RINO candidate Mr. Romney,as unacceptable under any circumstances as Republican Party nominee in the 2012 presidential election.

That's one of the longest butt kissing sentences I have ever read in my life....Truly epic!

I hope you had plenty of chap-stick......

We lost because the media is against us and convinced the takers that Romney wouldn’t give them free stuff.

Jim was correct. But it was the R party primaries that selected Gov. Romney (and most people thought his choice of Sen. Ryan was a pretty good one, too). Some of the other R candidates got torpedoed almost overnight, rather than running the course and seeing which one was the most popular. So, that is an issue — how do we prevent such things from happening in future so that we are really permitted a choice of all R candidates? Second issue for the future: is Ronald Reagan’s “11th commandment” worth reviewing and, perhaps, resurrecting — at least in some measure or form, so that the R candidates do not form a circular firing squad and, basically, torpedo the eventual nominee from within the R party itself? (And how could any such policy be enforced if, say, one or two primary candidates were to violate it next time? If it can’t be enforced then maybe it is not worth a lot of time to debate?
Just asking. I regret I do not have answers...but I bet some people here DO....so have at it please....
Meanwhile, alas, let’s all see if we can somehow help USA survive the next 4 years .....

Is that you Rachael Maddow?

So true, I remember all those people quiting because during the primary we wouldn’t allow attacks on other canidates and Romney Propaganda.

I still don’t think the GOP have learned their lesson, I think the GOP might have finally jumped their last shark.

Unfortunitly we need these weak kneed republicans to hold the line in the house to ensure that freedom holds in this country.

I say to you fellow freepers, what is more important. Your paper currency and the theft of others labor for your benefit or the freedom to live your life without threat, coercion, or limitations on your liberty??

Right - Jim Robinson and several million others refused to vote for Romney.
And we now have Mr. Obama. Aren’t you all pleased?

No question that Romney was the weakest candidate of the 9 who started out. Yet, he ran a good campaign and should have won. The Monday Morning Quartermasters are all so wise now, it is scary. The know-it-alls! Yet, I do recall that as many were predicting way back when that Romney, the Weakest would lose, others were predicting the same about Newt the Strongest and about everyone of those others. I suspect that Newt and those others would have lost this year as well. You can argue, but we’ll never know. Romney didn’t lose because he’s a RINO, he lost because of the division in the country, because of the class envy and resentment, guilt about some idiocy called “racism”, because of misinformation, because of ignorance of the voters voting against their own best interests.

Are you blaming Jim for other people’s stupid ideas? Just because woman in the GOP voted for Mitt does not mean Jim was wrong.

Alone among political observers of weight did Jim Robinson berate Romney as the wrong choice — JR has more brains in his little finger than the whole of the GOP.

In the end, months after the controversy had died down,the election of 2012 having ended, it comes as no surprise to have ended in the manner in which Mr. Robinson did all that he could and more, the sagacity and prescience in which he had already determined the outcome to the election is one in which should teach us all not to repeat the mistakes of the past and to heed those we have faith and admiration for in their reading of the political map and and its various minefields.

Thanks for the sagacity of giving us another 4 years of Obama.
