Yeah, we’d probably be smart to follow Mitt’s example just give up on all that patriotic, constitutional, pro-America stuff. Much easier to stop fighting with the left, and figure out how to beat them at their own agenda.

What a winning strategy!

While I certainly understand the desire to fight on principle, fighting when you don’t have any power is generally futile and tends to make things that much worse.

The Dems learned that lesson and behaved very carefully in 2007 and 2008 when they ran Congress, but Bush was still president. Not a peep about Amnesty or Health Care back then, or anything else that would make them look extreme. Better to hold quiet until they got their dictator elected - and they did. They were not about to blow the 2008 presidential election by acting on principal. It seems Romney’s campaign understands that also.
