Carlos Gutierrez, adviser to Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign, said Sunday he was “shocked” by Romney’s comments this week on minorities.
“I think we lost the election because the far right of this party has taken the party to a place that it doesn’t belong.”

Ugh.

CNN reported:

In an interview set to air in full Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Candy Crowley, Gutierrez also sharply criticized Romney’s remarks made on a call Wednesday with donors following his loss in last week’s election. Romney explained his loss in part by pointing to “gifts” President Barack Obama gave to certain groups that turned out in high numbers.

Gutierrez, the former secretary of commerce, said he was “shocked” by Romney’s comments.

“I think we lost the election because the far right of this party has taken the party to a place that it doesn’t belong,” he said. “We are the party of prosperity, of growth, of tolerance. I mean these immigrants who come across and what they do wrong is they risk their lives, they come here and they work because they want to be part of the American Dream.”

I'm pretty good with tree rat.

But if we're going Russian, lets do blinis, caviar, and tiny little wodka shots.

“NOTHING adds up, except fraud. “

I hear ya, totally, and I agree that fraud is no doubt a major portion of the voting numbers not being as expected. I think what muawiyah was trying to say is that perhaps also there have been a number of deaths in the last 4 years that alsoa account for many, more than expected, number of less voters, and I agree. But I also saw numbers that suggest many voters simply didn’t vote, the percent participation was also lower than in 2008.

How about Democ Rat?

A little long pig may be the staple diet after the EBT cards go permanently offline. No shortage of that pareticular feral animal to be had.

[who knows what evil?]

Far Right is their codeword for ‘white people’

Conservative Christian white people...they don't mind white people like Maddow, Matthews and their ilk...

[JRandomFreeper]

Long pig goes to the dogs.

If shots are fired, I will be there. I've proven that.

And I'll proudly stand by your side, as we're on the same one.

Truce, FRiend?

[Norm Lenhart]

It has indeed! ;)

You lost because you are a squish who refused to fight lead by a squish candidate who didn’t know how to fight.

Thanks for the clarification. As you indicate, I’m not giving my own opinion about it, I’m speaking about populist pragmatics. Unfortunately the common road in politics now is to give up on core beliefs and follow whatever leads to the most votes. In such a case, the goal is to amass power rather than to better society.

[muawiyah]

The D side probably had some activity, but they probably got excited when they found out there were so many fewer free range Democrats!

Higher effective death rates (due to the passing of the Boomers) and abortion at the registration end are working hand in glove to evaporate Democrats nationwide.

... or maybe

Mitt Romney Ran a lifeless, Dewey, no-risk, Sucky Campaign!

... like every other GOPe candidate, Hall of Losers.

[muawiyah]

Maddow and Mathews aren’t ‘people’ ~ the acolytes of the antichrist and hell’s own demons KNOW THEIR OWN

[muawiyah]

Remember that actual head counts are much better than estimates ~ and nobody goes around counting missing voters!

The result is no one can actually answer the question but actuaries can tell you about how many deaths to expect among people over a 4 year period.

[muawiyah]

not ‘so many’ but ‘only so many’ ~ they’d already snagged the replacements back at Uncle Groucho’s Abortion Parlor.

“free range Democrats”

That was funny. True, most D voters are found early on and in welfare offices. Very few left to rope in.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Thank you, your reply is spot on.

[Bigg Red]

The reality is the ballot box is never going to fix the mess we have now.

So true. The fix is in now for the Marxists.

[PLMerite]

“Santa Claus Light” can’t compete with the full-on fat man routine presented by the Left. The 47% will never get it, and even when it collapses around them they’ll still think it was because someone didn’t pay their “fair share.”

[dalereed]

Romney and his advisor don’t belong in the party!

[Lady Heron]

These people are so stupid it is sad.

Let's ignore the history of who wins and who loses presidential elections for the Republicans because the rino agenda is more important than winning....Bush I, Dole, McCain and then let's go even farther with the worst liberal North Eastern Republican to date in Romney..yep, let's blame the conservatives to show just how stupid we are.
