What is with all of the post election Romney bashing?

[santahog]

He DID NOT get elected.  Whatever he would have done good or bad for firearms, healthcare, the economy, etc. does not matter any more.  He didn't get elected; the people chose to keep what we've got.  There is no reason to continue to post bad things about what Romney would've done; he's not going to get a chance to do them.  Now is the time to figure out what we're going to do under the current president for the next 4 years not what we would've done under Romney or any other third party candidate. 

I understand the often cited sentiment about picking the lesser of two evils. I also understand the sentiment of picking the better of the two and approaching it that way.  I'm not here to choose the optimistic or pessimistic view of voting.  I'm here to say the votes have already been cast and counted.  Move along and look towards what is ahead; don't keep looking back at what didn't happen in the election.  History is important to know, but it can't be changed.  Only the future can be affected; work towards that and quit dwelling on what might have been.

Once again, our newly elected president for the next four years will be Obama.  It will not be Romney, Ron Paul, or any other piece of crap politician or heralded savior.  There is really no reason to continue posting about any other candidate; they are history.  Work towards a better future with our current president in mind not some fantasy president that is not going to be there.

Thanks for reading my rant.

We're complaining because we had to choke on it for the last number of months and keep our mouths shut, "for the greater good"..
Nominating Romney was a stupid idea and most of us are just now fresh out of lipstick to put on that pig..
That's why..

I don't have time, and I'm not quite awake enough to vent my spleen right on all this now.
That said..
The first things we need to be about the business of doing is replacing Boehner and McConnell with DeMint, and (I would have said West, but I think he lost. I don't know yet).. After making damn sure that everybody knows what those needed to succeed at anything positive will and won't go along with, we need to undo that business that the Romney Campaign did at/with the Convention, disallowing State GOPs from picking delegates of their own choosing, without the blessing of the Campaign at the head of the ticket...

Good start?
Who do we start rattling the cage for, for Speaker?

I pity any one naive enough to believe that the answers to America's current problems lies with in the "system".

Santahog, I'd go for Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz for Speaker of the House. Take a look at his election history. He ran on conservative principles, literally, and beat Republican establishment favorites all the way. I like his style in front of the camera. He is insightful, forthright and can be meaner than a junkyard dog...and he doesn't cry like Boehner or Obama.

........ He is insightful, forthright and can be meaner than a junkyard dog...and he doesn't cry like Boehner or Obama.

I like that.  The Republicans lack leadership.  A bunch of RINO mama's boys.  The populace can smell a follower.....so when the RINO's run a Romney can you ever expect to win?  In the arena he was in for Governor he may have stood out, but in the national areana he was the candidate least likely to offend....NOT A LEADER.

You people that condemn the GOP for running moderate candidates are stupid.
You think some one like Barry Goldwater or Allen West could get elected ?
If you do you're on crack.
You think Ted Nugent would be a good candidate ?
Go back on this forum and see what some of the other members have to say about him.
TAB comes to mind, but he was far from the only one .
Then you've got the people who were to stupid to figure out that the choice was Obama or not Obama .
Any one who thinks "the system" still works is an idiot.
The last election did not do anything except prove that the Republic has been dead long enough for the communists to do as they please.
The question is no longer how do we win in the next election, it is how do we survive .

Just went through the final vote tally's and regardless if Willard would have gotten every single vote that a libertarian or greenie cast for their guy or gal, it would not have changed a single swing state outcome.

Willard got spanked and it's over.  The rules have changed, the systems rigged and we're outnumbered by the inept, ignorant, lazy, shiftless, bigoted, leftist shakers and takers.

I give up...I'm moving on with my life in as much as it's possible!  If y'all start a revolution I'll be looking after my own as I'm no longer willing to die for a country of fools!

And his opponent is what, more qualified?

This was about turnout point blank and period.  BHO had ~10 million fewer votes this time around but Romney had ~3 million fewer votes than McCain, MCCAIN-the original "reach across the isle and cave" guy that no one on the Right wanted.

The real question is why. Media bias? Apathy? Mormon?  Moderate?

My opinion is the later, conservatives want a conservative candidate but the Moderates that run the Republican Party won't have it.  So its time to change out the leadership starting with Boehner and McConnel then Priebus the RNC Chairman.  We, conservatives, have to take back the party before the country is too far gone, which may be a mute point.

Your own numbers show it wasn't about turn out.
It's about a nation of parasites who are to fu*king dumb to govern themselves responsibly.

I'd lay odds on the fact that a true conservative will never be elected to the highest office again!  The games changed and we're no longer on a level playing field.  

Look at the last so called conservatives to win.  GHW Bush and GW Bush!  Both relative RINO's and while both likable, decent fellows, they're not going to win against this biased climate.  There ain't no Ronnie Reagans out there that I can see.

We're two heartbeats away from a liberal Supreme Court.  After that, we might as well call it a day!

I appreciate the frustration, but I recall you and I getting a little bit of a mutual smile over the prospects of one Newt Gingrich winning the nomination. He isn't a small government conservative.
