Romney won the nominations because CONSERVATIVES gave Romney the nomination on a platter.
We can't circle the wagons and agree on ANYONE can we?
There are Freepers who hate Gingrich.
There are Freepers who hate Santorum.
There are Freepers who did not want to support Herman Cain.
I supported all three of the above, each when they had a chance.
But? The “purist” and holier than thou types in our own Conservative movement gave us Romney.
Many of us then did our best to help Romney, but those who would NOT agree to any Conservative before the nomination, now want to blame it on the “GOP e” when they SHOULD be looking in the mirror!
We are often our own worst enemy.
That is the case.
The enemy divides us, the GOP divides us and we divide ourselves.
We ain’t going anywhere anytime soon.
No they didn't. They merely settled for Romney after the GOP establishment elite spent months force-feeding him down the throats of casual Republican voters and leaners, a task that was made easy for them thanks to the lazy rat newsrooms who remembered Romney from last time and followed went their meme.
You really think that all along the "conservatives" wanted the liberal Massachusetts governor and father of the original version of commie-care as the standard bearer for the GOP? Get a grip.
Your comment is pretty accurate......I still think our issue is that no one is laying out the message about capitalism and taxes and spending in an easily understood sound bite that is digestible by the masses. The candidate that does this for the conservative cause will be the next conservative nominee....imho...looks like Rubio for now......
As did I. I had reservations, but would have gladly voted for any of the three.
The problem is that the CINOs actions reinforced Romney’s lifetime of stupidity and two full campaigns/tens of millions of dollars worth of lying and corruptly trashing his opposition, by running around FR and elsewhere praising his ‘conservatism as if he were Obama at the Greek Pillars and condemning anyone not on board as ‘traitors to their country’. We were called ‘purists’ and condemned for sticking to conservative ideals and beliefs. Since the opposite of purity is corruption, I wear the badge proudly.
None of the above CINO BS is remotely conservative. People who did so are not remotely conservative. They are the enemy every bit as much ‘our’ problem as a person openly supporting the bullshit of Bohner and the GOP.
Words mean things whether CINOs want them to or not. “Conservative’ requires conservative actions, not feel-good words. And by their actions, determining truly conservative people is not hard to do.
If people are either too stupid or too willfully ignorant to tell the difference, then Conservatism is dead and lets just embrace the greater evil.
You sure they’re conservatives? Name ‘em and let’s see who exactly is conservative out of the bunch. Let’s be honest, indeed.
Purists didn’t give us Romney. The GOP-e gave us Romney since they wanted the naive to believe he was the only one who had a chance against Obama and some people were foolish enough to believe them.
I’ve known for years that there was no way any socialist republican like Romney could ever beat the democrats because they are democrats. Romney proved that beyond a shadow of anyone’s doubt. He didn’t engage our enemy because our enemy is his friend.
As for Rubio, even he knows he’s not NBC but he’s hoping against hope that the same idiots who fell for that Romney baloney will be just as naive about his situation.
