To everyone who says this, how would a conservative taken away the 75% hispanic, and 93+% black vote that went for Obama?
You are kidding yourself thinking that “true” conservative would have won this election. The GOP as we knew it is DONE. Conservative values are not wanted by the majority, therefore you can not win by running on Conservative values.
What is so difficult to understand?
Bullshit. Romney was unable to equal even McCain's vote total!
That is sufficient proof that a non-conservative GOP candidate was unable to energize the Evangelical/TEA party base.
A Gingrich, Palin, or Santorum would have had a better chance against 0bama's socialism than Romney's socialism-lite.
It's not that there weren't enough GOP voters, it's that not enough of them went to the polls. Because the GOPe sold us a "moderate" once again.
For God's sake, Mitt Romney was the governor of Massachusetts! He was the virtual architect of 0bamacare! He also supported the auto bailout!
How was Romney different than 0bama, again? Other than, say, tax policy, there simply wasn't sufficient difference. Not enough to turn out an incumbent who was backed by a complicit media and a dependent "taker" class.

Someone gets it...
This has been building for 40 years, while most Freepers sat on the sidelines saying, “Someone! do something!”.

It's a pretty good bet that being moderate didn't win this election.
If we are going to loose either way, might as be right while we do it.
