We nominated Romney and we are stuck with him, warts and all. Maybe we do better next time.

What is this we business. I had ZERO to do with this tragedy. I was going to vote for him just because, but he has seriously pissed me off with his love gay marriage. He does not deserve our vote. What has he done to piss of the liberals? Nothing. He is a repulsive individual who won’t even fight for his own marriage.

I am referring to "we" in the collective sense. I know that most folks here did not vote for Romney in the primaries. Back in March, I voted for Newt Gingrich in my primary, not because I'm a fan of Gingrich but because at the time, I felt he had the best shot of beating Romney for the nomination. My first choice, Sarah Palin, didn't even run.

Using the collective "we" might irk some but look at the results in conservative bastions like Utah, Wyoming and Texas. In those stays, Romney didn't just win their primary/caucuses - he crushed the opposition overwhelmingly.

So yes, collectively speaking, "we" did this to ourselves. You and I alone are not going to change things. We need to convince others. We are not going to accomplish this by yelling at them, calling them names, telling them they are stupid, etc.

On a positive note, I am glad to see the victory of Ted Cruz in Texas last week. There are other Tea Party victories we can point to across the country - so the tide is beginning to shift. We are beginning to build on something here. We need to keep the momentum going and should not attack other conservatives because they are not 100% in lockstep with us. The key is to win them over through persuasion.
