Far better man than Romney ran. They were ignored in the name of ‘lesser evil’ and “Winning no matter what”. No one ‘won’ anything.
Why don’t more ‘better people” run? Because the conservative base can’t be trusted to vote for conservatives. And to this day many prove it screaming for more ‘lesser evil’.
Well Norm...the whole election system is pretty messed up. Too much money changes hands and to many “other” reasons people run for office , seems the last thing is a sincere desire to serve the country and it’s people.
We know it’s a fast track to wealth with all the inside information they have access to....and wealth means power. Plus it’s a pretty much a cushioned job.
I think it better said than “No one won anything” is no matter who wins they have to compromise in order to get some of what we want because that’s how it’s working now. Obam’s a perfect example when there is no compromise....and there is none because he thinks he’s King and has no skill in getting Congress to work with him.
“Obam’s a perfect example when there is no compromise”
Actually no. Obama is the definitive result of compromise. People were going to go with the lesser evil to win. We told them that their lesser (really no so lesser afterall ad history shows) evil was going to lose. But they knew better.
Instead of standing firm on principle, many many millions compromised principles, ethics, pride, reputations...you name it. And what they got in return was a loss, Obama and a GOP that now openly sides with democrats, compromising even more.
Conservatives compromised everything that defined a conservative and now we all fight a rearguard battle trying to rebuild from the massive damage compromise caused.
Reagan helped make Obama President because in 1983 he signed the King holiday bill. The King holiday has transformed America in many ways; now more popular probably than anything but Christmas.
I have to laugh when I hear off the wall theories like this.
Oh... enough “STOOD FIRM” that they let Obama slide right on in. Their perfect perfumed princes were not available.
On the advice of a couple respected Freepers I’m henceforth going to make a supreme effort at ignoring you.
Have a nice delusion.
“Oh... enough “STOOD FIRM” that they let Obama slide right on in. Their perfect perfumed princes were not available.”
Oh, I’d vote for a candidate that was 65-70% conservative, if necessary. Unfortunately, the choice of Willard was fatal conceit by RINO central. Once they manipulated the system to choose their little RINO, the die was cast - again.
What I won’t do is vote or support a candidate just because he has an R by his name. I’m off their plantation.
And so we have the “blame a convenient enemy then do the counterproductive thing” syndrome once again.
You sure seem to be an expert on delusions. Nothing beats experience.
“And so we have the “blame a convenient enemy then do the counterproductive thing” syndrome once again.”
Actually, you just perfectly demonstrated RINO Plantation Syndrome to excuse the behavior of your masters. Flee while you can!
Nope, this is a malady of all parties.
