When Ronaldus Maximus challenged feckless and totally unprincipled GOP-E POTUS, His Accidency Gerald Ford, I was one of his state chairmen and you weren't.
Getting 75% or 80% of what you want is not a description of what you get for voting for GOP-E crap like Bush the Elder, Dole, McCain and especially POS Romney, IF you are an actual conservative. So you are quoting Reagan to no avail since his words do not apply to such spineless ideological treasonweasels as these. With POS Romney, you get 0% if you are not a trust fund baby.
Romney is simply the very bottom of a verrrry sorry barrel of GOP-Elitists. He is a gun grabber, a pro-abort, militantly pro-same sex "marriage," and a thoroughgoing social issue revolutionary. Can anyone point to a single example of POS Romney's track record that suggests smaller government or control over the spending avalanche in DC? Can anyone show that POS Romney would do anything whatsoever to rein in the environmental lunatics who are fanatically attacking basic property rights and business freedom for anyone other than megacorporate interests and globalization fanatics?
The fact is that, unless you are a trust fund baby, a polo player or an abortion mill operator, POS Romney offered NOTHING to conservatives who ARE conservatives. The US needs one major party that will defend traditional conservative values and POS Romney cannot and will not offer any such positions. Obozo was re-elected by the Republican National Convention nominating that useless POS Romney. In the process, Paul Ryan was exposed as useless as well.
If you want Hillary to be inaugurated in 2017, just keep it up, nominate New Jersey Fats or re-nominate POS Romney and you can get it done. Meanwhile, study on what happened to the Federalists and the Whigs and why and remember that their errors are the errors of the GOP-E which has always had far more money than brains.
