In a sense Coulter is right. Romney was not the problem.

Indeed he was a weaker candidate than we would have liked but overall it was the campaign “managers” who we’re the problem.

They never went after Obunghole the way that they needed to. He lost because he tried to be nice and play nice according to the media template. They feared being Painted as “mean” rather than attacking rightfully on the glaring failures of the administration.

Yep, and here’s the problem: how are the GOP supposed to appeal to independents when they won’t support candidates beyond what the candidate does for his/her self?

There is a long laundry list of reasons we lost. From not countering "it was all bush's fault" to the regime hiding key facts before the election, to hurricane Sandy, the two big traitors that cost us possibly 2% and the election-- colon powell and the fat busturd from NJ.

Romney actually did as good as he could with the big exception of saying dumb stuff that got spread all over the universe and then never countered.

The way to beat the left is to go after them 10X every time they come after us!! We don't do that. Until we do we will keep losing.

I agree - Romney wasn't the problem, as his post election comments have indicated its possible he does know whats at the root of our problems in this country.

Its the GOPe that hasn't a clue.

There is a Republican, even a conservative, establishment. It is lead by elitists who, in truth, care nothing about Christianity or any religion. Instead, they care about global financial interests, big business, and the Treasury bond ponzi scheme not popping suddenly. They do not adovocate for government being held to is rightful amount of power and cost, per se, just a slower growth rate of government than their left-wing counterparts do.

Millions of people know that these elites do not represent the true interests of millions that are staunch conservatives but outside of elite power circles.

The elites, knowing the interests they represent, can't help the feeling of needing to tip-toe into a win as opposed to loudly espousing the Bible, the Constitution, free enterprise, etc., ergo they continually take positions that compromise with the radical left. They simply can't figure out a way to avoid the tacit admission of elitism that such compromise implies, and for good reason - there is none.
