We had more than half a dozen good, conservative candidates and we ate our own.
We voted (or didn’t vote) and we got what we deserved.
Don't you get it yet. WE Conservatives had no voice in this.
The GOP establishment shoved Romney down our throats from day one. They shoved Baby Bush down our throats giving him a huge warchest. Then they shoved McLame down our throats.
In this election, they painted Cain as a doofus and Bachmann as a religious nutcase, and Santorum as extreme. They shoved Romney down our throats just as they shoved McLame down our throats.
WE DID NOT do this. The GOP establishment hand-picked their foisted candidate on us against a very weak field like obscure House members and private businessmen who never won office. Don't you get it yet? The machine picks the candidate, not us. We are just along for the ILLUSION we pick the candidate.
Unless there was something having to due with Sarah Palin we don’t know about, that was the day which changed the race
Up until that day, I believed Sarah Palin would lead the GOP to a new destiny this year.
She stood down.
Palin stood down.
After that, is was a giant mop-up job and Romney got the best of that.
That’s the way things sometimes work. You deal with them and you moves on.
And so we’re all well divided on both R & R.
Nevertheless, they are not foreign self-professed America-killing monsters.
What unites us is this country’s need to take out the trash, starting at the top in less than 3 months.
Let’s focus on the country’s needs first.
If Romney isn’t already pwned by BiG media, then they will work overtime to keep him honest and hammer anything else to us ad nauseum.
God help us all.
As a group, we did not show up en mass and vote for Romney. We (as a group) sat on our butts.
The last time I checked, voters were supposed to be responsible adults with the capability to read and analyze. The Tea Party didn’t show up in droves to support ANY candidate.
No. Conservatives bitched and blogged and waited for everyone else to vote for them.
Yeah, the RINO GOP did their best to discredit the conservative candidates in order to get us their version of the best ‘moderate’ (thanks Rove). But we didn’t buy it. The Tea Party didn’t buy it.
They just didn’t take action when it mattered.
It kills me that thousands can show up to stand a park in August heat to wave a sign and an American flag, and the vast majority of them couldn’t show up to fill in a ballot.
Wah wah wah!
Nothing was stopping those voters from voting for any of those people other than their own brains.
I voted for Newt. My guy didn’t win. I had a voice and that voice wasn’t the majority.
But after Newt was out, I wasn’t going to pretend like it was stolen.
Agree, we did not pic this candidate. Not possible under the current primary system.
For the voters to have true control,all the primaries need to be on the same day, just like the national election.
Many never had a chance to vote for their candidate because he was run off the ticket before their state voted. The established GOP uses this piecemeal voting to pimp their candidate and vilify all others. And the media is overjoyed to go along with the scam.
As mentioned, Virginia was handed to Romney by the “rules committee”.
