“...a failure of having a ‘pure’ candidate that some conservatives cannot seem to get past of having before they will cast a vote.”
NO! It was the decision of the GOP Establishment to foist upon conservatives (yet again) a presidential candidate who can “win moderate voters”.
Time and time the GOP Establishment has sandbagged genuine conservatives (see Palin, Angle, O’Donnell, West, and Akin). GOP establishment types, lobbyists, and professional pols would rather have President Obama in the White House than a genuine conservative who would shake things up.
It is way past time for the Republican Party to go the way of the Whigs. It is time for a new party to rise up from the ashes.
No, it’s your refusal to be flexible that makes it hard for the GOP to win.
The liberals are winning, by incrementally instituting their philosophy and beliefs across the country. The Dems don’t run ‘pure’ candidates. They run whatever they can, becasue they know they don’t need a pure candidate to move the country in incremental amounts. Peeling off flecks of paint, as it were.
Romney, objectively speaking, was a good candidate. Whenever he was caught speaking in secret, those secret conversations were conservatively based. If he had won, he would have done the country a lot of good, not to mention that his failure to win is going to allow Obama to put upwards of 4 Supreme Court justices on the bench.
remember...all you Romney haters and pro bammey freepers really don’t have a right to comment anymore....you were part of the PROBLEM not the solution so your belly aching is a little absurb now, after you got what you wanted.....
