I never said I was a Romney supporter, but why turn the guns on ourselves? Here is a question: If Romney would have been the standard bearer, do you think the Republicans would have lost a few less Senate and House seats? I think the answer is yes and the result would have been that the Repubs could have been able to better block some of this horrible stuff that is happening in Congress.
Like many, I voted for McCain because of Sarah. The Republicans desperately need to change the election laws in the various states, so that only registered Republicans vote in the primary. There are too many crossover voters that dilute the conservative vote.
I don't think Romney is the answer, but if we are going to fight Obama and have any chance of winning, we need focus on Obama and his supporters and not on our own selves.
As much as I loved Reagan, he was not totally orthodox. Remember his tax increases in 1986?

With Romney it is always about rewriting history, Romney ran in the primary, he spent a fortune including 45 million dollars of his own money that he could inject at the most important down times, multiplying it’s effect. He had a slick seemingly unbeatable, well oiled campaign machine and an almost cult like labor organization and best of all no competition, what happened? republicans didn’t support him.
This isn’t a hypothetical that we can all speculate and fantasize about, against an empty field Romney already ran and he lost badly, the base doesn’t like him and would have stayed home on election day giving us larger losses all the way down the ticket.
Romney would not have chosen Palin and the Palin choice saved a lot of our down ticket races which is incredible for a vice presidential candidate.
Why keep rerunning the 2008 election anyway, our next election will consist of an entirely new set of candidates that are all governing successes that win elections and reelections, Romney’s only election victory, his failed single term as a governor with no reelection looks a little dingier and distant with each passing year.
Sounds like you changed your tune real fast once you realized you called Jim Robinson a fool.
