I thought Romney was supposed to attract all those moderates
and independents from both parties. That’s why u didn’t need the conservative vote. That is why the GOPe’s
wanted him. What did all you moderates and independents do on
election day?

Cause you moderates, and independents on both sides didn’t show up.

Yep, that was Team Romney's cold "etch-a-sketch" calculation back during the primaries---get just enough Conservative votes to win the nomination, and then chuck Conservatives to the side and go for the "moderates" and "independents."

We don't need no stinkin' Conservative votes now----that was their thinking, and we warned them then that this strategy would bite them in the arse, and it has now come to pass.
