So some of you decided that King Obama was better. Good thinking, or rather immature foolish childlike thinking. Got what you asked for. Are you enjoying your choice now? Most never understood voting for the lessor of the two evils since the Republican voters placed Romney on the ballot not you ass hats. Get it? So STFU. You were wrong.

Hey I voted for bastard, but that still doesn’t change the fact that he sucked as a candidate.

I don’t know about that allegation. In general they are good people.
I would have liked someone with fire in the belly, but I will not call Romney a bad guy or a homosexual. That IMO is a bit childish and not true.

There’s no way that my dislike of Romney could override my absolute loathing of the Obamanation. Some here seem to have managed that.

Romney would have been a much better president than Obama. I think he would have really tried to take on the deficit using moderately conservative solutions. I’m not sure what he would have done in foreign policy. Pretty much every candidate says things and does the opposite — Example # 1 is Obama himself. Having said that, Romney certainly wasn’t some dream candidate. I haven’t seen one of those since, oh, about 1980.

He swore he’d be better for gay rights than Ted Kennedy. And proved it.

Yeah, but he lost. His campaign sucked just like McCain’s. Just like Dole’s. Don’t run GOP-e RINOS!!

This piece is rich with irony. Not the least of which is the fact that in order to find a “fan” they had to find someone who was on his payroll.

You are clueless about the Romney Agenda.

Gay Marriage by FORCE.

RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE by FORCE.

Romney even wanted Americans to pay for the healthcare
of Hezbollah.

If not for Romney, Obama and Soros would not be
running America for al Qaeda.

Natural ally? Russian folk’s endemic animosity towards anything American is known world-wide. Have you just arrived?

Romney may have been vindicated by the course of events, but he could not convince enough people, or buy enough counter-votes in those districts where the practice of vote fraud is wide-spread, to carry the day.

And Romney did not fully convince people that he thought he was a better man for the job than the Current Occupant of the White Hut. He pictured himself as “just as good”, and that was not enough to get a LOT of people off their hands.

Nope, he was wrong about almost everything, from his lukewarm campaign, his refusal to paint Zero as the Social he was/is, his refusal to point out the failures of Zero in stark terms, to his support of abortion and the Gay Agenda.

Wrong Candidate for the GOP at any time!

Romney was wrong about a lot of things, like his op-ed encouraging a national version of RomneyCare

Yup. The GOP leadership sucks! Stay away from them. I’m supporting nothing but grassroots conservatives. Run, Ted, Run!!

Not sure how many ‘fans’ Romney had, but he was unquestionably the better option last year. Of course he was right on Russia, health care and most things. He even did a decent job telling us. It looks near impossible to get through the noise of the media and left these days, as they have their guy’s back 24/7, and will destroy anything in the way. Yes, their campaign could have been much better, but when the left can get their turnout in that environment, it’s tough to win.

You, are simply, NUTS!

Romney did a horrible job communicating positions, and in fact, many of those positions were just plain wrong, or completely watered down.

We don't need a candidate who supports Abortion/Gay Agenda and who doesn't believe in limited Government.

We also don't need a candidate who refuses to engage the enemy, and that enemy was Zero.

Like Reagan said:

"Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people"
and
“We had rabbits when we needed tigers.”
