(Reuters) - Ending a self-imposed silence about the November election, 2012 Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan said on Wednesday that he and presidential running mate Mitt Romney lost not because of ideas, but due to ineffective communication.

Wait a minute, did Ryan run for Veep and his Congressional seat as well? ‘Coz I thought he’d be out of Congress now?
Agreed. Chattering little insider who is supposed to hold the key to solving all our fiscal problems.
But I haven’t anything resembling a detail out of him, since he first surfaced long before the election through the present.
If he plan is so damn good why isn’t he talking about it to this day? Romney isn’t stopping him. Who’s stopping him? Where is his support? What’s his plan?
Ryan is the one person last election who was worth running.
Romney tried, but he faced an uphill battle from the very first day.
Ryan needs now, to become our spokesman. Rebuild the GOP with Ryan for now, and whoever else comes along as we go.
Go Ryan!
Wait for me, I have my own original theory of why Romney lost, and I too know for certain that I’m right and everybody else is wrong!
Ryan: “We have to do a better job of explaining and demonstrating why our ideas are better on such issues as fighting poverty and helping people move up “the ladder of life.””

I’m so sick of listing all the things the Romney Team missed, but if Paul Ryan thinks this is all, I hope he doesn’t run.
Sorry Paul losing is bound to happens when you run a Liberal Republican against a flaming Marxists from Chicago, McCain Part 2.
The GOP p*ssed on conservatives; so they stayed home or voted for someone else...wonder how many write-ins Palin received?

Indeed...dems supported Romney wherever an open primary was available to them.
The voter fraud in the states obama needed was the tipping point. Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and probably others, .. that had 100% for Dems in some precincts. You know that is fraud. But no one except West tried to stop it... the deck was stacked against the Republicans.. especially when so many stayed home. Maybe they thought Romney would win, from the turnout when he spoke during the campaign.. but they misjudged just how far the left will go to get their way. Badly misjudged them.
The only one that lost the election was Romney and Romney only. Many conservatives felt that the election was lost once Romney became the nominee because he is a milquetoast liberal Republican. Yeah, the other candidates may have well lost too but it was pretty certain that we were doomed once the media anointed candidate to take on Obama was chosen
Dole, then McCain, then Bush, then Romney. Enough! We don’t want someone from the Rotary club. We want someone with conservative ideals. I’d rather run Rand Paul and lose than put another check pants republican on the ticket. And speaking of Rand Paul, I think he could run and WIN!
yeah...and they had better control of all the voting machines in all the swing states as well...I think that helped them alot too....
Communication? Well, as if I hadn’t already been starkly unenthusiastic over having a nominee that was a Massachusetts liberal, take the GOP convention: Not even allowing the very words “tea party” to be uttered, and compound this with the obvious “get lost” message to Sarah Palin. That was a very CLEAR communication to me.
The GOP might as well have spit in my face.
yeah..and he can turn out 110% plus in many Afro-American run cities and precincts too..../s
Start thinking Tea Party.
More and more. Think about it.
Not saying anyone should actually do anything about it yet, but do not let the Tea Party out of your mind.
Think about it.
Become familiar with the idea. Tea Party.
