“The GOPe deliberately gave conservatives the finger, betting they wouldn’t do anything to protest.”
Gee, so you stayed home and look what happened, we got four more years of Marxism. I don’t think Romney was a Marxist. Thanks for nothing. Your “protest” really worked out now didn’t it. Of course “ you really showed them” that you couldn’t be pushed around. I hate the GOPe with a vengeance, but not voting is just plain stupid. None of the above is not one of the choices on the ballot.
You need to work on your reading comprehension.
I did not claim to have stayed home. I simply identified that your complaint is exactly the same as many who HAVE claimed they stayed home.
I also pointed out you are hypocritical for blaming those that (1) told the GOP that Romney was unacceptable and (2) subsequently did not accept him.
If conservatives are to be demonized by the R party for upholding conservative values, then the R party should not be surprised when conservatives fail to support them.
Did I write that so you could understand it?
Oh - and “none of the above” is ALWAYS a choice on the ballot, unless you are completely unwilling to stand up for your core principles.
Romeny was a hostage to Marxists. Just like Bush, he would have never vetoed any legislation. Obamacare would then have become the GOP’s problem.
Again and again, the GOP of Nixon gave democrats the race card, and the GOP of Bush Sr gave Clinton the economy, and the GOPe of Bush Jr gave Obama the stimulus and comapssion card. Now they are trying to pluck into Obamacare and be blamed for it while democrats will keep playing hero to doctors.
The GOPe was supposed to play good cop to conservatives but they are failing obviously at appeasing them. Now the centrist always look like bad cop from both sides. It is the GOPe that needs to move right and not drag the conservatives left. People need tough schools, they do not need that limp wristed GOPe. They want new wind. They are not necessarily afraid of conservative views, even women, because people want leadership, a pack leader, not some easy going carnival party.
The country is more important the party. But the GOPe insist just like democrats on the party before the country, or bipartisanship.
As a councilman once stated, bipartisan seem nice, but these people make deals that are not in favor necessarily of the county, they are corrupt deals that work for the party participants, not the actual owners and dwellers seeking proper representation and translation of their work into appropriate legislations.
You cannot call normal business practice to hire a son or a buddy who takes from the cash register because of politics of preferences. This is not what the workers in the business work or bleed for. It is completely corrupt and dishonoring.
Nobody staid home. We went and worked hard to replace the corrupt party-crats and bipartycrapists in facor of people correctly interpreting the constitution and translating the country into its aspirations.
No one ran on a third party gravy platform the way Perrot profited from it.
Go attack libertarians or democrats, not conservatives. But those for some reason do not bother the GOPe because these are all party crats.
