“You seem confused, this thread is a postmortem on Romney.”
I don’t think I’m confused - I just don’t agree with assessment of the postmortem. I believe it is shortsighted and harmful to the conservative cause as a whole.
And I’ll quit campaigning for Romney when you quit campaigning against him, because yes Romney wasn’t the most socially conservative candidate the Repubs could have nominated, but he was nominated. And he didn’t lose because of your perceived liberal bias. Try to pay attention.
And yes, if it’s over for Romney I’d like to invite you to try to understand some other more plausible perceptions on why Romney lost instead of trying tear down a man who ran a race. Your assessment is silly. A postmortem is useful if you are honest and objective in looking at ALL the facts, not a just one that isn’t a fact but a perception based on a set of different political circumstances.
Lastly, I’m not fighting for liberalism, I’m fighting against Obama vs you who is tearing down Republicans and disenfranchising conservatives.... thereby supporting liberalism.
You’re going to get dizzy if you keep spinning....
No, you are fighting for liberalism, and Mitt Romney, and whoever the next liberal is that the GOPe produces, and you are fighting against conservatism.
Your biggest complaint about conservatism is probably the social issues, they annoy liberals to no end.
You can cling to Mitt for as long as you want, but that story is over, except for the gaffes and bizarre statements that he will mess up with occasionally, but he won’t run again.
After 20 years, it is clear the man sucks as a candidate, he is only worse in office.
The most hard left man to ever lead the GOP ticket.
Mitt Romney was weaned on politics, he was born into a politically aggressive, liberal, anti-conservative family in which dad became a Governor and a national figure, ending in a liberal presidential run, and mother was a 1970 liberal Senate candidate.
Romney has always known and lived his liberal convictions, and his anti-conservative drive for revenge against the conservatives of the GOP, the Reagan/Palin/teaparty types who he shuns and insults even as he gains control of their party today.
Romney was anti-Reagan, he left the GOP and from 1989 to 1993 only gave money to, and fund raised for democrat candidates, he voted for Paul Tsongas in 1992, he was giving to and fund raising for Planned Parenthood in 1994.
His father had run against Reagan for the Presidency in 1968, Mitt Romney and his father formally protested the victory of the conservatives at the 1964 GOP convention in which Goldwater was nominated and Reagan gave his famous speech. Romney was anti-conservative in every way during the first 59 years of his life.
ROMNEYQUOTES
“Reagan was adamantly pro-choice”
“Look, I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I’m not trying to return to Reagan-Bush.”
“I’m not a partisan politician. My hope is that, after this election, it will be the moderates of both parties who will control the Senate, not the Jesse Helmses.”
“These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense,” Romney said. “They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.”
“I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share.”
Do you think that Mitt was just merely confused a little about his core “Reaganite” beliefs during the the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and the 2000s, until 2006 at age 59 when he started his run for President, the second such run in a row for his family?
