Meet the Press Panel Blames Romney Loss on Limbaugh and ‘Loons and Wackos’ of Conservative Base By Brent Baker Created 11/11/2012 - 6:01pm

Sunday’s Meet the Press featured a panel of five, none of them conservative (Congressman-elect Joaquín Castro, Republican strategist Steve Schmidt, author Doris Kearns Goodwin, the Washington Post’s Bob Woodward and NBC’s Chuck Todd), to assess why Mitt Romney lost and “the future of the GOP.” And they agreed conservatives are the problem.

Todd, NBC’s political director, decided the GOP has become “a coalition of special interest forces” and fretted “the leaders in Washington can’t control the special interest groups” as Republicans, like Democrats in the past, “succumbed to their base.”

As if the Obama campaign this year didn’t succumb to and exploit the liberal feminist agenda on Planned Parenthood.

Steve Schmidt, who managed John McCain’s 2008 loss, argued that “to too many swing voters in the country, when you hear the word conservative now, they think of loons and wackos.”

In an obvious allusion to Rush Limbaugh, a clip of whom host David Gregory had played earlier, Schmidt snarled: “Our elected leaders are scared to death of the conservative entertainment complex, the shrill and divisive voices that are bombastic and broadcasting out into the homes.”

Earlier, liberal historian Doris Kearns Goodwin declared: “The fundamental loss of this campaign probably took place in the Republican primaries when they put out a group of people who were so far off the political cliff on issues that mattered to Latinos, to women and to young people.”

(Picking up on how the new Lincoln movie is based on Goodwin’s Team of Rivals book, host David Gregory cued her up to explain how Obama can “be a great President” like Lincoln: “The polarization then so profound; as this President now strives to be a great President, like Lincoln, what is his challenge to break this polarization? Does it all come back to bipartisanship at some level?)

From the Sunday, November 11 Meet the Press:

CHUCK TODD: Let’s look back at the Republican Party. How did they become a coalition of special interest forces? They really do look like the Democratic Party of the ‘70s and ‘80s where they seem to -- the leaders in Washington can’t control the special interest groups. And this is what happened to the Democrats, labor, all of these special interest groups that were, the folks in Washington knew what the right way was to try to win national elections. They couldn’t quite do it because they were -- basically, they succumbed to their base. The Democratic Party, started with Bill Clinton, and Obama successfully has been able to carry this over, has never been able to allow the base of the Democratic Party, special interest groups, to overtake the national message. The Republican Part, it’s unbelievable that they have allowed to happen.

STEVE SCHMIDT: Conservatism is a serious governing philosophy that has served this country well. But to too many swing voters in the country, when you hear the word conservative now, they think of loons and wackos. We gave up five U.S. Senate seats over the last two election cycles by people who were just out there, completely extreme, manifestly unprepared for the offices that they’re, that they’re running for. Our elected leaders are scared to death of the conservative entertainment complex, the shrill and divisive voices that are bombastic and broadcasting out into the homes. And this country is rejecting the social extremism of the Republican Party on issue after issue. And if you look at the four states that legalized gay marriage, on a range of issues, our coalition is shrinking and the Republican Party has a lot of soul searching to do if we are going to assemble a majority.

[Typical_Whitey]

I find it amazing that the right refuses to fight back on these charges of extremism... I think voting for infanticide is an extremist position that is well outside what Americans would tolerate of their politicians but they elected a President that is that extreme.

When the left is allowed to determine what defines extreme than of course even moderate republicans will be charged as such.

[bboop]

Let’s just cut the NE loose. They can sink in their own muck. And WE can bring the Constitution and start over.

We can not wait for 2014 and 2016 to regroup and figure out new strategies. By then it will be too late. The Marxist/Muslim usurper will have completed his planned distruction of America. That's what people fail to understand.

We must act NOW.

Start with the election. If we let the Rats get away with this massive voter fraud, we're no better than a bananna republic.

We must keep digging and pounding him every day, in every way we can- phony birth certificate, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, his hidden life, records....

We are FReepers. We must fight!

Those who shrug and accept this atrocity without a fight are not worthy to be called Freepers!

[who knows what evil?]

And they agreed conservatives are the problem.

Then why don't you just kill us?

This one is MUST SEE:

“Obama won 100% of the 900,135 votes cast in Cuyahoga County OH! No votes from new registered voters or indies went to Mitt.

A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT WILL BE FILED against the networks for not telling the truth! view pic.”

Throw out this all-fraud county and Mitt wins Ohio, no question!

Why? A total of 5,364,324 “people” voted in Ohio. Obama got 2,691,861 votes, while Romney got 2,584,620, a difference of 107,241 votes.

How did Cuyahoga County’s 900,135 votes affect the final result? You do the math.

For Ohio to certify this result would be a crime in and of itself.

Thank you to the Examiner for mentioning us!

Much more to come! As one of our commenters below said, voter fraud is like cockroaches. You find one and they are likely everywhere. Cuyahoga County, Ohio is obviously not alone!

Here is a petition you can sign at Change.org to request a full recount. I suggest we just focus on the swing states, but it is true that many Congressional and Senate races are also affected, from Allen West to, I believe, Mia Love. Mia was up by 10% the week before the election and lost by 3,000 votes to Matheson in a state that went 73% for Romney. Not likely!

And what do you think of this? This was way before the election, but apparently George Soros, who we have already established rigged an election in Hungary and was banned for it AND helped get Obama elected the first time... I’ll let you read the headline:

“Soros advises Obama to use forceful measures to override the will of the people”
http://redwhitebluenews.com/?p=12336

I think this goes well beyond the 900+ executive orders that go around Congress, more than three times the executive orders given by all previous US Presidents combined. We saw it in action Tuesday, November 6th!

A Tea Party group has posted this article, with interesting stats and some criticism for Romney for not standing up and doing something about it yet:
http://teapartyorg.ning.com/m/discussion?id=4301673%3ATopic%3A1108645

Personally I think as the case is strong enough, Mitt will do something. Too much is at stake, and as we just found out, Ohio is definitely Mitt’s, and Florida, too, just based on fraud in a few counties! Colorado, too!

Keep up the referrals and the sharing, everyone! Thank you SO much for helping America fix an election that has clearly been “fixed.”

Voter fraud cheapens the votes of the 60 million who picked Mitt to the point of nothingness and gives weight to those who in reality were the minority. If grand theft is defined as any theft over $5,000, what do you call the ONE BILLION times that that is likely to happen AGAIN over the next four years if we do not right this wrong?

Here is to our real President Elect and First Lady, Mitt and Ann Romney.

I would like to beat the press.

[NKP_Vet]

Romney’s treatment of the Tea Party, especially Sarah Palin came back to bite him in the ass.

[leebee vmizrach]

So much blather about how the election results turned out as they did. In my opinion this terribly sad and dangerous outcome was overwhelmingly due to one thing:

The coven of filthy, stinking, hypocritical whores that refers to itself as "the press."

Well, actually ... there is one more thing: a degraded voting populace, half of whom can't identify Libya on a map, don't know even that it is a country, and proudly couldn't care less.

[central_va]

Ok Let’s ditch the word Conservatism. Let’s call ourselves “Originalists” instead. As in the original intent of the founders.

[BerryDingle]

I blame massive voter fraud. Until only LEGAL voting is allowed, the election process will be constantly hijacked by the rats. No conservative or Republican will ever win a national election until voter fraud is stopped.

Exactly!

[jivin gene]

“That’s odd because I blame the media and the 47%.”

All of the above and good old vote fraud and pubbies throwing a tantrum.

[GOPJ]

After Tim Russert died the show became shallow ... stupid - an embarrassment. I’ll bet ‘Meet the Press’ numbers are way down... that’s why they’re so angry. It’s loser talk. No one respects Meet the Press except liberal elite - a group that would be hard pressed to elect a dog catcher in most cities...

[depressed in 06]

Like they weren’t cheering for DumBO. With friends like they, we need Rush more than ever,

[PapaNew]

The Looney Tune Liberals calling the other side looney?

They think the GOP is extreme when in fact it's only lagging behind the Socialist Democratic Party.

America's Demolition Derby Culture War looks to be about over and it looks like the only demolished car still going backwards is labelled "Obama" and is also about to expire. The "Obama" car is the "winner" though. Not much remains except for mass destruction. I guess the "Obamanation that makes desolate" (Daniel 11:31) is a pretty apt description of things.

[Sivad]

OK, so if Limbaugh and FOXnews go away the MSM will
start treating the conservative POV fairly? You freakin’
morons. If you ever gave fair treated to the conservative POV
then there wouldn’t be a Limbaugh or a FOX

[bigbob]

as long as we’re going to get blamed, I wish we’d do a hell of a lot better job of it.

For starters, where is the conservative equivalent of Jon Stewarts Daily Show? Liberals have a whole network devoted to their propaganda plus all the news content of the broadcast TV networks, plus most newspapers and half of Fox News (the only truly conservative program in the opinion timeperiod of FNC is Hannity, and he sucks0.

Where is the Conservative Channel? Koch Bros, Adleson - are you listening?

[WaterWeWaitinFor]

Is Mitt OR the Republican Party doing anything about this OR is it as usual..... ho hum..... I guess we lost.

This is sickening.

[SeminoleCounty]

Everyone should note that people like Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, all of Salem Radio Network, Neal Boortz (he is gone soon)...and many other GOP Media subscribe lock, stock, and barrel with what these liberals are saying....that Conservatives cost the election

Note what these Liberals are saying...and see how it is being parroted on PhonyCon RINO GOP Media. Stop listening to the PhonyCons...and that will do a lot for the Conservative movement
