That's the spirit! StupiOldLyinFart doesn't vote for anyone who has a snowball's chance in hell on winning. That way he can bitch and moan about anybody and everybody. After all, bitching and moaning is the only thing he specializes in.Not sure which one is COG

Big Louie; congratulations on posting an original piece and asking a legitimate question................Trends didnt mean nearly what you seem to think they meant, DOTY, voters really didn't have a decent choice.
If ever there was an election that the GOP should have won, it was 2012. All the stars were aligned; the GOP got beat for a number of reasons, demographic trends playing a small but important part. Originally Posted by Whirlaway

I'd say there is little hope that a conservative Republican will ever be elected president again. The Republican party will probably morph into being a slightly less Marxist version of the Democratic Party, just to stay competitive. To some extent they already have.
Big Louie; congratulations on posting an original piece and asking a legitimate question................WW why haven't you addressed the question at hand? How do you feel about the fact that Rpmney's own son admits that Romney really didn't want to be POTUS? That is scary- that basically means Romney was a fraud and everything he said on the campaign trails and debates were lies. If Romney truly didn't want to be POTUS that means his interest were not for the good of America- someone would have been pulling his strings and he would have been a puppet President.
Obama's margin of victory was thin, especially in the swing states......Romney ran a poor campaign and was a weak candidate from the get go..........had Romney ran more to the right of center he would have energized the evangelicals and constitutional conservatives who didn't turn out...a mistake. Romney overwhelmingly won the independent vote in the swing states, they would have stayed with him, even if he was a more forceful conservative candidate.
I think Romney's Mormonism was a disadvantage that people want to ignore. Many evangelicals couldn't support him.
Going forward, no doubt the GOP needs to recruit better candidates; but they also will win more elections by running more conservatives and staying true to conservatism. The last 2 presidential candidates abandoned the conservative wing and lost......the TP platform wins in local and state elections; the right candidate can make it a national agenda. It just takes a better messenger.
States like Florida prove that the Hispanic demographic trend isn't necessarily a Democratic lock........Rubio is an up and comer and can bridge conservative principles with a successful campaign.
In the end, Romney had his wind knocked out by a combination of blows; weak 3rd debate performance (he didn't take it to Obama on Benghazi), a very skilled opposition, Hurricane Sandy, and Christi (who kneecapped Romney imo).

Obviously if Romney was actually trying to lose he wouldn't have come so close to winning. Anyone who watched the first presidential debate and concluded that Romney wasn't trying to win is nuts.
Tagg Romney meant that his father had mixed feelings about being president but ran because of a sense of duty. Here's what Tagg Romney actually said:
" If he could have found someone else to take his place ... he would have been ecstatic to step aside.
"He is a very private person who loves his family deeply and wants to be with them," Tagg continued. "He has deep faith in God and he loves his country, but he doesn’t love the attention.” Originally Posted by joe bloe

The majority of the American people are stupid worthless parasites, i.e. liberals. So of course these are good times for the Democratic Party.Bullshit like this is the reason that our government is ineffective. It must be great living in your world where distinguishing right/wrong and good/evil is as easy as Liberal = wrong/bad, and conservative = good/right. Blaming all the country's problems on 1 group of people is nothing more than asanine scapegoating.
We may never see fifty one percent of the American people willing to vote for a decent presidential candidate again. Clinton was trash and won twice. Gore was trash and won the popular vote. Obama is evil incarnate and won twice. I think it's pretty clear that America has reached a point of no return in terms of culture rot.
Conservatism may well be dead in America because it requires that a majority of the people be essentially decent and honorable. Originally Posted by joe bloe

By the way, I do not refuse to take a stand. I take a strong stand against both tyranny and depotism. You can't understand that, because you have no values that go beyond yourself and your own personal desires. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy
