    There you have it folks. They've finally come out and said it, they now also blame Chris Christie for their loss. Apparently putting aside politics and telling the truth is tantamount to injuring the republicans presidential ticket.

    The rock star of the republicans national conference is now the ostracized pariah who dared to tell the truth.

    How fickle the GOP is with its allies.

    Fatso didn't help Romney.

    But he did help Obama.

    If putting the lives of people you're elected to protect above politics is such a (*)(*)(*)(*)able offense to your party, it's probably a good thing for the country that you lost.

    So Christie sucking up to Obama caused Der Black Fuhrer to send extra help that would not have sent otherwise?

    I thought the governor displayed leadership by doing what was right for his state. It should be example to Democrats and Republicans that we all need to work together for the good of the country.

    Nothing could help Romney! He was a hopeless loser, with no integrity and representing NOTHING, due to his constant flip flops and to putting his foot in his mouth so frequently!

    If that is the standard for a president then Obama would not even have been on the ballot.

    Yes Obama won, with a clear majority and electorate vote.

    Yes, Obama won.

    And America will decline further as a result.

    Whoopee!

    I am truly amazed at the Romney camp.

    They lost to a fairly unpopular president during a floundering and stagnant economy. This was an election that by all rights he should have easily won, all in my fine opinion of course.

    So what did he do? He screwed it up with the greatest of efforts. His constant flip flopping on issues. His absolute refusal to put forth a detailed plan. His comments caught saying he did not care about 47% of Americans. Worse run campaign since Mondale running on a pledge to raise taxes.

    So does the Romney camp just accept their own incompetence? Of course not. Can't be their fault. It must be because of someone else. Why admit their own error and accept responsibility for their own actions? They are most certainly showing their true colors at this time.

    If you've got to ask me to interpret your own words for you we're in trouble here.

    I think the voters heard and saw what they wanted to.

    Romney's style was lacking.

    But comparing the substance of his message to that of Obama more voters choose free handouts from the government over sound fiscal policy.

    Romney didn't lose by much in the popular vote, and the main reason he lost is because the Republicans did the same thing the Democrats did in the 1970's and 1980's, which was alienate white blue collar workers and independent middle class in the swing states. GOP policies, and swindlers like Bain Capital, basically cut their own throats in those states by copying the tired old demonization tactics of the other wing of The Party. This makes it very easy for Democrats to whip up the anti-white racist vote among minorites, which is Obama's strength.

    White voters still swing all national and state elections, despite all the propaganda media twits attempt to shove down throats. The GOP lost the negative campaigning game, which is all about keeping the other guy's turnout low.

    Yeah right, like the GOP isn't all about free handouts for 'conservatives'. lol ... Even the Asian demographic went Obama.


    http://deanbaker.net/images/stories/documents/cns.html

    Barely scratches the surface, but is a nice and accurate intro to the myth of 'Conservatism'.

    For GOP muppets who swallow the 'free market' snake oil, and gives the Democratic party racists an expanding voter base:

    So, it's basically the 'conservatives' own cognitive dissonance costing them close elections. Can't work up any sympathy for the whining over GOP losses. Both 'conservative' and 'liberal' elites support this sort of thing.

    The right's constant conspiracy allegations regarding Obama have hurt their candidates badly. From the birth certificate garbage, to the Benghazzi witch hunt, people have had enough of that paranoid schizo BS. Romney was hurt badly by his own decisions as well. The misleading ads in Ohio were quite devastating for example. Not to mention his unwillingness to answer questions regarding FEMA after the storm, and hiding Paul Ryan for the last couple weeks so he wouldn't talk about abortion. They doomed themselves.

    Karma's a (*)(*)(*)(*)(*). Republicans need to blame themselves and the RNC. They kept turning a blind eye to voter fraud, vote manipulation from Fox, all clear warning signs that Romney was not universally liked and just put the man pants on and deal with the loss.

    But noooooooooooooo, they'll keep crying in their cups about how its everyone else's fault aside from theirs for picking an aging Malibu Ken for their nominee.

    Oh, your vote doesn't count. Sure, I want liberty, too, but anybody but Obama. Romney's the best hope for beating Obama. Yeh, I hate Romney, too, but anybody but Obama....

    All I have to say is: Viva la Paul!

    I have to agree with you. Christie didn't help, but Romney sunk himself. He said he had a alternate health plan for the nation but didn't bring it out. He said he could create millions of jobs but didn't say how. He pissed off 47% of the people not paying taxes for one reason or the other. He lost two states, right off the bat, Ohio and Michigan with his stand on not bailing out the auto industry. He was for helping them by backing up private loans, but didn't explain where the money would come from as the banks weren't lending. Then screwed up saying Chrysler was closing plants and moving Jeep plants to China. He had it hard enough knowing he wasn't going to get the Black, Hispanic and gay votes. He didn't have to screw up what he had left.

    Maybe you didn't mean to imply it.

    Libs are fond of emotional boilerplate that is not meant to be taken too seriously.

    But the actual meaning of your words were that by Christie making a big fuss over Obama (aka "sucking up") he was responsible for getting more relief for the people of New Jersey.

    Besides the fact that I happen to agree, something truly strange went down between Christie and Obama. And, I would have to say that "yes" some republicans have turned on Christie...as they should. But, I don't see the so called "fact" that romney or his team blamed Christie. Do you have video? No? Than your thread is crap.

    I think conservatives are pretty consistent in opposing the Nanny State.

    But most Republicans in Washington are not conservatives.

    Or they are conservatives on Sunday and big spending liberals during the week when business is conducted in Congress.
