The Rinocrat party has not given us a decent candidate since President Reagan. Even Bush was not close to the Gipper. Not even close.

I was reading the earlier post and thinking of Nelson Rockefeller as a comparison to Mitt. While I don’t remember Willkie, I’ve read enough about him to agree with you and Harry Truman.

Personal baggage - Everyone had personal baggage but like a propaganda carrier you zero in on only one - just like Drudge/Romney’s pawn did on Bloody Thursday. Why didn’t Romney/the coward use Drudge to expose Obama’s personal baggage?

Ubama never stops campaigning. We can't wait until the 2016 primaires to figure out who our nominee is going to be.

We need a Conservative to start campaigning right now. Otherwise, we'll be playing catch-up. Like we always do.

You want the blunt truth from the way that I see this. Newt had this election electrified after South Carolina. The committed stubborn social conservatives if only would have forgiven him and ask Santorum to help Newt, things would be different today. So, please don’t be angry at your fellow conservative. We had to pick from the list. Cain went down due to not defending himself on those personal attacks (which I believe were leaked by Romney people to stop him) as they stopped Newt and Rick. Newt could have won because he was getting out the base who were are pissed. Palin tried to give us out here an insight time and time again. The woman is no fool. Now, we are in hell for sure. I think God left a message and you know what it is. Romney should never had been the leader the face of the republican party due to his career in Massachusetts politics. All the other things followed and controlled by the moderates of GOP HQ- Bush regime. The moderates are the problem.

You make my point. NONE of these men were true conservatives, and none of them articulated conservative principle

That would be great if 51% of the people in this country were hard-core conservatives. But as the last 6 or 7 elections proved to us, that is not the case anymore. Starting in the late 60's our kids have been indoctrinated in communism by our public schools since kindergarten and the conservative movement gets smaller with each generation. We saw this and did nothing ... now we see the results. Let's face it, McCarthy was right.

Yup, Romney ran a HORRIBLE campaign. I blame him completely.

Doesn’t mean there wasn’t vote fraud.

Those huge exhuberant crowds didn’t show up to cheer Romney in October. They showed up to cheer what they hoped and prayed was the removal of the African communist from the White House.

RE :”Several of us said all along he was the problem and we were accused of being DU trolls even if we have been here for over a decade. Finally, everyone else is seeing what we saw”

That’s pretty standard stuff especially near a POTUS election: “We got to get this guy I said I hate elected or we all die”

I must admit it (including the weak attacks) didnt faze me this time.

I wouldnt say that EVERYONE gets it.
The Romney/Jim Jones crowd in the bunker still claim that all those polls showing Romney was losing were rigged, because the election itself was rigged, everything is rigged.

But if this is true than why bother voting or having an opinion on a primary candidate?, in fact why post an opinion at all?

I guess that latest poll on taxes was rigged too, man nothing is real anymore, are you three real or part of the ‘massive consiracy too?? AHHHH’

The fact that you use a pejorative phrase like “hard core conservative” speaks volumes.

Let's not forget that Romney is meeting with the Marxist in the White House today!

WHY?

Scott Brown was as good a candidate and US Senator as we could possibly dream up for MA—and he may make it back to the Senate yet.

They pulled it off ONLY in your eyes - what about the ‘rats advertising to the women to vote with their body parts. They are scum to begin with - voting for what ‘they want’ and not want America needs.

Conservatives always has what is BEST for America when they vote. The GOP is all about their cronies and who’s up next to bat. America has been on the back burner since Reagan.

If he volunteers to help the Marxist in any fashion, then it’s all over.

->>Boehner and McConnell, unfortunately, agree with the enemy more often than they agree with their conservative allies.

I agree. We are also out here getting people elected while fighting the party bosses. It's like what Newt and Palin were saying all along but too many wanted to accuse them of self promoting issues for fame.
