Would we have had a mid-western son of a milk truck driver (Pawlenty) as our nominee has she not surged up until Ames Straw poll?
I am trying to trace down to the seed that germinated into re-electing Obama. That is the closest I have come. During this cycle, a more modestly wealthy mid-western governor of a Blue state may just have been the ticket.
Thoughts?
I blame the OP on moonshine
Let’s put the blame where it belongs. Many Christians didn’t vote and on the numb-nuts who believed Zero’s BS!
Haha some patient was watching the Today show while waiting to be called back for his lab work. He started complaining about Bachman winning and how nutty she was. He asked how could she win again. I told him well sir the democrats ran someone even nuttier. Haha you could have heard a pin drop. He was very polite in the drawing chair.
Top Reasons Romney Lost:
The broadcast TV media spiked the Benghazi betrayal, lies and cover-up. It was all about Sandy.
Much of the GOP base stayed home. (Evangelicals rejected a Mormon.)
Romney was right about 47% of people voting to keep their entitlements.
Racists voted based purely on skin color.
Romney’s temperment is ill-suited to the attacks Obama so richly deserved.
(So who was that running in the primaries? go figure)
No one with any gravitas would stand up for the Constitution and properly vet Obama’s eligibility as a natural born citizen.
Puhleze, all attacks on conservatives were from
RINO Romney and spoiler Rove.
What a selfish, self serving prick!
Spot on
We lost the popular vote in 1992. We lost the popular vote in 1996. We lost the popular vote in 2000. We lost the popular vote in 2008. We lost the popular vote in 2012. If you’re old enough to drink then you’ve seen exactly one election where more people voted for the R than the d. This has nothing to do with Michele friggin Bachman. It has to do with the homofication of America, the population explosion of the takers vs the makers, the rise of the atheist, the pervasive liberal media, the liberal educators who pollute the minds of the most vulnerable with evolution and global warming, the death of American Exceptionalism, and the desire of so-called Americans to take from those who achieve the America Dream. It if were ever time for Jesus to return, it is most certainly now.
Imagine losing a chess match because you started short 1 queen, 2 bishops, two rooks, and a knight ... and saying “I should have moved the pawn 2 spaces instead of 1 in that opening move”
We are demographically outnumbered. It’s no longer about ideas, it’s about race and ethnic identity and and various other identities.
This circular firing squad has got to stop...there are too many that don’t want to get off the couch and actually work for their money, they think they are owed just to breath!
Nice try, but don't blame it on the Christians; instead blame it on the “True Patriots” who just couldn't bring their fragile egos, and 8 year-old intellects to vote for the better of two choices. They can stammer around all they want wrapping their selfish B.S. in patriotic platitudes; the fact is, these A$$wipes helped Obama win reelection!
no hildy- we didn’t lose because THERE ARE MORE OF THEM THEN US....we lost because a bunch of “us” (not me) decided to sit on their asses at home rather than go out and vote....stop pushing media lies...
“WE LOST BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE OF THEM THAN US.”
No, we lost because 2 or 3 million who voted for McCain decided to stay home, and because 2 of our senate candidates are retarded about rape. Smooth move by those A-holes who stayed home. Hope they like 6 dollar gas, doubled electic rates, a gutted military, the UN small Arms treaty, carbon taxes added into everything, higher food prices, a 6-3 liberal supreme court split, and an atomic Iran.
Oh, and the utterly final shot at ending Obamacare.
And yet Bachmann continues to win in her district despite the heavy influx of money and nasty ads against her. Your logic is pathetic.
The reason the republicans lost is due to the folks who satyed home because Romney wasn’t their cup of tea. As long as we continue to form circular firing squads we will remain wounded and dying
“Romney was miles Better than pawlenty. He is awful. At the very least awfully boring.”
That’s a given, but what about Pawlenty?
my thoughts...this is truly one of the most thoughtless and useless threads ever started on FR...
Abert is that you?
Pawlenty was a snore. None of these banjo hitters had a ghost of a shot at winning anything. That's why they didn't.
Think about the utter selfishness, and stupidity of these idiots on are side who decided to not vote for Romney in their little protest. Actually, it wasn't really a protest; it was grown men and women pi$$ed that their candidate didn't win the primary. Instead of acting like an adult and dealing with reality, they had a little pity party on election night.
You can almost imagine these idiots on election night:
“We'll show them...they'll be sorry! Boo Hoo!”
These 3 million who didn't vote are selfish, classless bastards who are responsible for sticking this nation with a known Marxist for 4 more years!
