Romney’s was his relative liberalism on social issues — or, at least, his very-late-in-life (professed) change of heart about those issues.

Not just social issues. He foisted a socialized medicine system on Massachusetts which is in the process of bankrupting the state even a scant two years after it was enacted.

If we’re to revitalize conservatism, we need fresh faces. All of those that ran for President this time around should move aside for new names at leadership positions ... including Thompson, Giuliani, McCain and Romney.

McCain can finish his career in the Senate. I’d have no objection to the other three as Senators or Cabinet officials ... but they’ve had their shot at the White House, and its done.

It’s not the color of the skin or the gender of the candidate, it’s the message.................

I just don’t want to ‘have to’ compromise in 2012. Out with these guys who ran this year and bring in new, true conservative blood to the next election.

Of course, I could change my mind just to get Obama out of the White House. But, man, why can’t we have what we want in a nominee without cringing?

Palin is a keeper though. Without McCain she could be unleashed. Whether as VP or Pres candidate, she would have to be unfettered by RINO rhetoric of a running mate.

And in the real world socially conservative women and minorities think that the Republicans are a bunch of rich greedy white guys. Having more rich white guys preach the message that the Republican party is not just for rich white guys may not be the best way to broaden the coalition.

The message should be:

We want EVERYBODY TO BE RICH! THE DEMOCRATZ WANT EVERYBODY TO BE POOR! MAKE YOUR CHOICE ACCORDINGLY!.............

“He could make a good Vice President.”

Why? He would be another George Bush 41.

I agree 100% with the message. I also think that in the real world it will be more convincing if it doesn’t come from yet another rich white guy.

“There is a tradition in the Republican Party — you run first for the nomination and lose, and then you run and get it,” Wayne said, pointing to Presidents Reagan and George H.W. Bush, former Sen. Bob Dole and McCain.

“Losing once is almost a badge of honor among Republicans.”
____________________________________

Romney’s father, George, ran twice, and never got the nomination...

There was nothing honorable about his lose...

He badmouthed Ronald Reagan and his friends...

Mitt Romney has also badmouthed Ronald Reagan...
