I have a suggestion for you: CHECK YOUR FACTS. Oh yes, Mitt Romney did push for gay marriage in Massachusetts and anyone who said he didn’t is out to lunch.
>>...Oh yes, Mitt Romney did push for gay marriage in Massachusetts...<<
I’ll take you at your word. I’m not a Romney fan. My choices are anyone-but-Romney in the primary and anyone-but-Obama in the general. If Romney is opposing Obama in the general, I’m voting for Romney. I will not vote for Obama, nor will I fail to do what I can to vote against Obama. Our choices stink. But I will not fall into the false thinking that allowing Obama another term will somehow teach the GOP or the country a “lesson”. For one, the GOP could care less. They will happily accept the status-quo if that’s all they can get.
I fully realize that more folks are voting for Romney than other more desireable candidates. I don’t like it and I can’t understand it, but if Romney gets the most votes, then he’ll be the nominee. That is how it’s supposed to work.
The *WHY* is our job to figure out and overcome...
Is it MSM propgandizing?
Is it that our preferred candidates are viewed as “too conservative” by the voters?
Is it because we put up a laughably weak field of candidates?
Could we have done more to support those candidates?
Could we have taken a more active role in the process?
Should we each, *PERSONALLY*, do more to sway voters and grow our numbers?
Were these candidates the best we can come up with?
etc...
I suspect the truth is a little or a lot of all of those in combination.
This election should be a galvanizing lesson to what needs to be done for next time. Now, we just have to figure out how to tackle that laundry list of things we failed to do adequately & properly this time.
In the meantime, doing everything we can to oust Obama is all we can realistically expect to accomplish at this point. If that means I have to vote for Romney, you better bet your last nickle I’m going to do it. I’ll keep my powder dry and look to the next election and hope I can do something more to help. Regardless of the outcome, I doubt the GOP will be wounded in the slightest this time. Next time, I hope they get their @$$3$ handed to them by patriotic, constitutional conservatives.
I personally think that means we have to find a leader who will coalesce the tea-partier’s into a solid, reliable, voting-bloc. Right now, I think we are too scatter-shot and I place the blame for that *entirely* on poor to non-existent leadership — and I mean *organic* leadership. Reagan had it and could attract, motivate and convince. I truly believe there are other’s with those leadership qualities. We just have to identify them, support them and promote them.
Well, I double checked and I don't see where this is stated.
So maybe you can help me out here: what's the URL of that Soros-funded information trove where you formed your verdict?
