That doesn't diminish the first question. You claimed Romney destroyed a decent candidate. Yet, the other candidates really destroyed themselves. Santorum, with his nutty sex-ed beliefs; Newt, with being Newt; Perry, with being GWB part deux. Ron Paul didn't destroy himself, unfortunately he was destroyed by way of being ignored and passed on by the MSM and even conservative media.
My defense of Romney isn't because I'm a huge supporter. I did vote for him in the election, only because he was the better Republican candidate. Had there been Rubio or Rand Paul, I would've likely voted for one of them instead. (Although I wasn't much impressed with Rubio's CPAC speech.) The allegations you made about Romney, however, are far-fetched, unfounded and more a personal dislike than a factional issue.

I agree with everything you said except that Perry is not Bush part deux and if I had a dollar for every person that said they would have voted for Newt if they thought he could win, he would be the President today. That was a ridiculous thing for people to say - just make it happen.
But, I realize that the GOP and Faux News paralyzed the people with fear over an Obama re-election, and so they didn't use good judgment. The fear was palpable in discussions all over the net.
Like I said, Rubio is not my enemy, but I am not impressed with him.
I wish we could get to a place where we wouldn't allow the media to drive the narrative, but I don't see that happening.
I want to add, because I want to be really plain on what I think about Romney - Mitt is a subversive liberal progressive that came into this party to destroy conservatism.
