We lost.
We the People got our teeth kicked down our throat.
I know that sounds harsh, but let's face it fellow Republicans, we're members of a party that failed to defeat a racist, dog-eating, homosexual agenda pushing piece of human garbage who isn't qualified to be a cashier at 7-11, let alone be President of the United States. We, the party of strong economies and national defense, failed as a party to dislodge an economically illiterate man who hates the US military with a passion. In short, this election was an absolute train wreck that may very well destroy the Republic.
Why did this happen, and more importantly, who do we blame ?
The Republican party, like a kid who can't sit still, refuses to learn. Moderate Republicanism and RINOs suck. They're about as exciting as lukewarm bath water. They stand for absolutely nothing. And yet, time and time again, ever since Reagan, they're all the Republican party offers on the presidential stage. Bob Dole ran a tepid, lackluster campaign in 1996 that ended in defeat, as did John McCain in 2008, and Mitt Romney in 2012. Yes Bush I and II won, but let's face the cold hard reality about them. Bush I shed his Reaganite skin like a rattlesnake the moment Ronaldus Magnus went back to his ranch and proceeded to lose to accused rapist Bill Caligula. Bush II won and was magnificent on the War on Terror, but was Herbert Hoover on domestic policy.
To this day, I still have no idea what any of the above folks ran on. (Except for the 2004 election, when it was rather clear it was either Bush or pray to Mecca.) Bush I ? He was Reagan's Veep. Bob Dole ? No idea. Bush II's first run ? I dunno, I voted for Pat Buchanan because it wasn't Conservative, whatever it was. John McCain ? Well, it was his turn. Romney ? He wasn't the guy who bowed to the inbred king of Saudi Arabia. They never gave me a real reason to support them, other than party loyalty. That's a horrid reason to vote for anyone. What's worse, they never gave libertarians, paleocons, Reagan Democrats, or independents a reason to vote for them, either. And hence, they lost (except for Bush II) and in some cases, in a rather embarrassing fashion.
Ladies and gentlemen, the reality of the situation is this: We the People need to take back the Republican party before we do anything else. We need to take over our local Republican parties and send the RINOs packing. Is it easier said than done ? Yep, but what choice do we have ? A third party won't save the day. Working with the communists in the Democrat party is unthinkable for a variety of obvious reasons. We need to stand up and say, "Dont Tread On Me."
“Where are the jobs?”
For an answer to that question, try Googling “Obamacare” and “Dodd-Frank”.
I read that at one point West was 2000 ahead, Dems demanded recount, the head Dem election official whose title I can’t remember did a recount and voila, West was 2400 behind, and the official had destroyed the ballots he recounted.
I am 100% there was incredibly massive voter fraud of many kinds all over the place.
We’re in a coup now.
I stand by statement: Romney sucked as a candidate. Period. We all knew it, and that’s why every Conservative here fought him tooth and nail during the primary. For crying out loud, he didn’t even win his home state, nor did he even have a chance to do so.
I don’t play the “candidate x would have done better” game because it’s pointless. There’s no way to really know. But if we refuse to learn from our mistakes, we’ll keep making them. It’s that simple. Our big mistake was letting another limp-wristed RINO carry the banner. It’s a sure fire loser. Bush I, Dole, McCain, and Romney and others like them are simply not going to carry us across the finish line.
I saw that. And I am certain there was plenty of fraud. I’m all for an investigation. I know no one will do time, but I’m all for it. No question about it.
At the same time, we can’t ignore the obvious. Weak-kneed RINO Republicanism is a sure fire loser and it’s time for them to hit the bricks.
Well, I’m officially nauseated. Idiots.
Yes, that was an oopsie on my part. I fully acknowledge there was voter fraud.
HOWEVER-—
We can’t have any more RINO nominees. Enough is enough.
Thanks for the kind words as always!
“The MSM needs Ceaucescu treatment.”
I’m definitely in.
They will only move more to the left.
They are done.
When they nominated career liberal Mitt they signed their own death warrant.
If by some astronomically remote odds defying hell freezing over chance they somehow become conservative again I would be glad to support them, but I cannot fathom them stopping their free fall Wile E. Coyote plunge into the ravine they have tricked themselves into diving headlong into.
Chris Christie, Jeb Bush anyone?
Not me.
Go conservative or go home like Mitt, John and Bob.
Agreed, no more RINOs. We must prevent the GOPe from continuing to nominate designated loser after designated loser. Conservatism wins because it makes sense, appeals to practical thinkers, and is clearly the right way to live. Squishy reach-across-the-aisle RINO dithering loses every time.
And you’re welcome, dear.
“At the same time, we can’t ignore the obvious. Weak-kneed RINO Republicanism is a sure fire loser and it’s time for them to hit the bricks.”
Wouldn’t a mattered if we had resurrected Ronald Reagan himself...he woulda lost. Why do you think Plain disappeared? She figured out what happened to her and McCain in 08. She’s waiting for the rest of us to figure it out.
We have been disenfranchised .
“Direct” disenfranchisement refers to actions that explicitly prevent people from voting or having their votes counted, as opposed to “indirect” techniques, which attempt to prevent people’s votes from having an impact on political outcomes (e.g., gerrymandering, ballot box stuffing, stripping elected officials of their powers).

And by not challenging it, fighting it..and getting in their faces about it...we grant permission for it to continue....and even worse...increase the probability of needing to resort to the cartridge box for resolution.
That’s because “us” is conservatives. We cannot expect the GOP to field a conservative candidate. The blame lies not just with party leadership but also with the rank and file. Too many of them are just not conservatives. The majority of the GOP was quite content to run Romney. As long as Conservatives remain in the Republican Party they will continue to be disappointed. It is way past time for a Conservative Party. Voting for a Conservative and losing would be preferable to losing with a Republican or just staying home.
I couldn’t agree more.
The thing about that is 3rd parties can’t win-—look at the Libertarian, Constitution, and Green parties. They have millions of members. but not one seat in CONgress and obviously, have no way to win the presidency.
As much as we don’t like it, the Republican party is the only way to go. We the Conservatives must take over the party, and do so quickly. We have 2 years before the 2014 midterms to do so.
Stories about massive turnout on Election Day and polls having to stay open late to accommodate lines of voters do not line up with lower vote totals...
Are there? 8 million of them 'disappeared' between 2008 and 2012.
Brilliant!
No, they don’t. I don’t discount voter fraud, not at all.
At the same time, it doesn’t change the fact that Romney should have made this a fraud-proof proposition. He should have blown Obamugabe out of the water so badly that fraud wouldn’t have mattered.
We lost because Romney sucked as a candidate. He wasn’t a Conservative. He was way too far to the left.
Feel free to use it in good health, FRiend!
Romney has only won ONE election, and is opponent on that occasion was also a real loser.
