"I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat," the American humorist Will Rogers once said. He also said, "Democrats never agree on anything. That's why they're Democrats. If they agreed with each other, they would be Republicans."
Will Rogers must be turning in his grave because this is the year that Democrats are organized and do agree on something — the need to defeat the Republicans.
That means if Republicans want to win this election, it's time to unite behind the only candidate that can still win the party's nomination, Mitt Romney, and then explain to voters how the core Republican philosophy of less government and lower taxes will rally the economy.
[SNIP]
Once the general election begins, Republicans must be sure to fight the battle on their terms. They'll have a businessman who created jobs versus a big-spending Democrat who has presided over four years of unemployment. They'll have a man who has succeeded at everything versus a failed president.
And they'll still have the issues that matter most to Americans on their side. According to a December Gallup poll, 64 percent of Americans said the biggest threat to the economy is big government, which can't be good news to Democrats, who love big government. Another 8 percent cited big labor, a Democratic Party ally. Only 26 percent said the same about big business, which traditionally is associated with Republicans.
A strong nominee, a united party, and a coherent message about the dangers of big government versus Obama and his big-government record. If that's what Republicans run with, they'll win.

Uhh, Bush wasn't running against Obama.
I thought that you were a Romney supporter.
United?
How come “moderate” Republicans never unte behind a conservative??
Spending is paid for (unless you believe in the money fairy).
Therefore you are wrong, he RAISED taxes. On us AND our children.
There is no such thing as discretionary spending (unless you believe we are ruled by the spending fairy). Every dime spent is spent at the discretion of Congress with the approval of the President. So don’t try to tell me he did not raise spending.
Not only did I debate you on Bush’s taxing, I blew your agreement out of the water.
I’m not convinced that Romney is that different from Obama.
Let’s take a look at Obama’s worst policies, Obamacare, EPA and Energy, how would electing Romney make any of those any better?

You accused everyone who doesn’t buy into the “vote for whomever the republicans throw at us no matter what” idea.
I suggest we eliminate the word “whine” from our vocabulary. It is nothing but an anger amplifier. And surely no one but a democrat plant would want to do that amongst us.
And then it turns into a hockey stick. In part because of Bush’s policies. And if interest rates rise even a little we are Greece.
Good try A.Hun but it’s not worth the effort with the usual fanatics like Diogenesis, cripplecreek, and EV. They are too stupid to realize they are 0’s biggest asset snd an extension of his divide and conquer strategy. Romney is the guy the political process has dealt us this time around and it’s time to put up or go join 0’s army!
“Nora” has become legion amongst liberals and the left.
Reading her comments, it should be obvious to all here that the “gap” between the left and the right has grown to become a gaping chasm that will never again be “bridgeable”.
What choices does this leave us?
Ever.
He’s not a conservative.
Never did I use the word ‘whining.’
You did, though.
Start with yourself to eliminate the word.
#122 Time to stop whining.
The assumption is that people who vote against Romney in the primaries will unite behind him in the general against the greater negative of Zero.
Excellent post, thanks for sharing.
hahahahaha.
Translation out of Romney Republican-speak: "Fanatics." "Those who refuse to vote for the most liberal governor in the history of the republic."
They are...stupid...
I think I see another Romney Republican bumper sticker shaping up.
You laugh at being caught?
I really don’t care what the mewling cowards think. They need to climb back over the fence on to the Grand Old Plantation and mind their own business. That cotton ain’t gonna pick itself.
Good for you. I wish I could be like you and have no problem with another four years of Obama and his team.
(Spare me the "no difference" bs .... I'm already starting to think you're off the deep end---no need to convince me.)
