It wasn’t about Mitt Romney. The fact of the matter is people don’t see how the debt affects them. Their taxes haven’t gone up and Obama says he is only going to tax the rich. Maybe the best thing that can happen in the long run would be for all the Bush tax cuts to expire. Let people see their paychecks shrink and then maybe they’ll realise this is costing them. If I were the GOP, that would be my compromise. Raise taxes on everyone, not just the rich.

It wasn’t about Mitt Romney.

It most certainly was about Mitt Romney. All about Romney and the GOP-E.

They picked the absolute worst candidate to back, worse than John McCain, shoved him down our throat, backed us in a corner, and then asked, where are conservatives gonna go?

From his HORRIBLE progressive record as Governor of MA, to his active support of both Abortion and the Gay Agenda AFTER he got the nomination, to his utter lack of a comprehensive and complete plan to decrease the size of Government and his inability to communicate it anywhere close to Ronald Reagan, Mr. "Like me I am a Centrist" was the absolutely WRONG person to go against the Marxist Obama.

I agree. The MSM has been covering up the true state of the economy to get King O over the finish line. They are in for a rude awakening when the economy stays stagnant and worsens.

You're forgetting that "boehner" is, I believe, Middle German for "bend over"...

“It wasn’t about Mitt Romney. The fact of the matter is people don’t see how the debt affects them.”

The job of a candidate is to communicate these things and be able to get people to see what the problems are and why America needs to elect him. Romney was incapable of that. He was incapable of communicating the mess America are in and that he would make it better. He allowed the Democrats and the MSM to say he threw people out of jobs and even killed people.
