Nonsense. The tea party candidates didn’t have a much better night than Romney did. We won Texas Senate. Lost several other races. Allen West is on the ropes, and probably out.
The fact is, we lost because we are not the majority at the moment. The problem isn’t Romney, or Christie, or Johnson, or Obama, or tactics, or speeches, or debates, or the establishment vs. the tea party. The problem is the electorate.
Romney was a fine candidate, and he ran a good campaign. He wasn’t McCain or Dole. I might’ve made a couple of different decisions than him ... might’ve attacked harder on some things. I’m not confident that him doing things my way would’ve made a difference.
This is not an unrecoverable problem ... but we have to acknowledge that the American people were not hoodwinked. They chose Obama, and they’ll get the government they deserve. It may be a very long four years — but I wouldn’t rather spend it anywhere else on earth.
So ... how do we win them back?

You are correct. Bleeding heart liberals just don’t seem to get that after bleeding enough the host will die. The system as it is can only go on so far and then it will come crashing down. When there are no more millionaires to blame they will come for the middle class. If you own a home you will be the rich. Once the homes are gone they will say if you own a car you are rich. Hang on to your canned goods, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.
Agree. Romney ran 10 percentage points better than Mourdoch in Indiana.
We traded an 80% Republican for a 97% Baraqqi for the next 6 years. I’m sorry I voted for him in the primary, he wasn’t ready to compete at this level.
