My mind-set and approach towards the GOP-e remains today what it was prior to this last election:
If we steadfastly reward them for unacceptable behavior... then the only thing that nets us, ultimately, is MORE unacceptable behavior. ;)

I have nary qualm nor compunction about likening the Meghan McCains of today’s Republican party to vermin of any stripe. ;)

To: goldstategop
I'm afraid Lindsey Graham is the next chosen GOP-e RINO loser—Pansy Grahamnesty believes being McCain's #1 butt boy and constantly being on all the news and talking head shows means it's HIS turn to deliver America to another Leftist...
...we are trying to work up a movement to primary his RINO ass out in 2014 but that sissy sumbitch has deep pockets and many favors owed him by powerful people.

Who would or could have been the perfect candidate in your opinion?Unsupported assertion. I do not (nor ever have) sought "perfection" in any political candidate.
What I do insist upon -- and this is a simple enough baseline to meet -- is that said candidate be both fiscally and socially conservative (see sig line, below). There are at present, to that end, approximately 230+ Republicans in the House; 45 or so in the Senate; and somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 to 30 sitting governors.
The pertinent question, here, is: why, from that available pool, does the GOP-e routinely (and suicidally) persist in cuddling and cossetting the absolute LEAST conservative potential candidates possible...?
Any other formulation is, ultimately, mere arm-waving and mugging in the service of (failed) distraction.

So Romney's shortcomings were more important to you than the evil that Obama does and now will continue to do thanks to you.
It's Mitt's fault that he couldn't convince you and others like you to help him stop Obama...
...but Obama thanks the both of you nonetheless...guess you can't complain about Obama now without being a hypocrite.

thanks to you.Pfffftt. Idiot sulking, and nothing more. Try familiarizing yourself with the electoral history of Seattle -- where a conservative's is the equivalent of Kleenex in blast furnace -- and then get back to me, mm'kay?

Ryan may leave more of a legacy than Romney.

Ryan may leave more of a legacy than Romney.That would be meager enough take-away, from the GOP-constructed bungle of this last election... but a (comparative) bright spot, nonetheless. ;)

Simple question, did you (and the millions like you) choosing not to vote for Mitt Romney help or hurt Obama?
We all know the answer as we are sentient beings...
...but you are addicted to sophistry and the thrill of argument so I cease to waste my time on someone who will not be serious.
a final sardonic “thanks for Obama” will end it.

Too difficult? Too bad.

As another “conservative in exile” here in the Seattle Area, my non-vote for Romney did NOT affect his election chances. AT ALL. My vote for all the folks with an “R” after their name for everything from Governor down to City Dog Catcher also was to no avail. I thought we had a chance with Governor and some of the other State positions.
And it is also disheartening to see all of the money that I donated to the local races end up on the losing side. But - we try to do what we can.

Strangely there are a few true/blue Romney-ist here @ FR. They are vicious and will start howling at anyone that mentions the failure that is Romney!
Then there’s Coulter, Hannity and friends.

Maybe because Bush won twice and real conservatives rarely win congressional of senate seats?
