I took have deep reservations about Romney. Yet that is distinct from the failure of his GOP opponents to assemble and run good campaigns. Conservatives seem temperamentally inclined to think that if they and their policies and ideas are good, they will win. To the contrary, in war, politics, boxing, and most everything else, victory in a fight goes to those to are better fighters.

How empty. Throwing over liberty for safety because in a single battle the other guy is slicker and better guarantees defeat, loses wars and condemns nations. Such a statement excuses folks like Pol Pot, the victorious in charge in Darfur, even Hitler. Bigger, faster, slicker is not the soul of patriotism entirely......yet. THAT point of yours is not the point of the Constitution, and when the USA was not Godless, your point of view could not work. It works today only while superficiality rules, preferred over the “temperment” for freedom, liberty, Life, Marriage, capitalism, etc., etc.
When goodness is taken over entirely by competence at doing evil, now made rather acceptable, we have distorted our own conscience.
A reassessment is needed.
