Yup. Romney was dropped squarely on our shoulders like a pile of crap.
You know what? I am TIRED of you negative people. Romney wasn't my choice either, but whaddya gonna do? Hope Ron Paul gets some kind of a miracle appointment or something? Quit being so negative and either get behind him or get outta the way fer chrissake.....
Romney was not "dropped squarely on our shoulders." What happened was what always happened. Instead of getting behind an acceptable Conservative with the chance to win, we divided the vote among several candidates based on litmus tests. This diverted votes from nominal conservatives, who would have been preferrable to Romney, such as Gingrich and Perry to people who passed more of the tests (Santorum, Cain, Bachmann) but had zero chance of winning. On top of that, our primary system is broken. Moderates like Romney and McCain are rewarded for winning huge liberal states like NY & California, which the GOP has zero chance of winning in a general election.
