Really, and you wanted to support a serial flip-flopper? Maybe that's that lesser of two evils you got going on.

I will say this again, since apparently YOU cannot read or answer a question. Was the GOP turnout down from 08? I dont know, so I asked. Now if it WASN'T that means just as many turned out for Romney as they did McCain and your idea of them all running from Romney is just more of your typical nonsense. If turnout was UP from 08, that makes you even more wrong as usual.

If the problem was independants, as I suspect it was, then that means the moderate Romney was unable to sway supposedly moderate Independants. If that is true, there is no way that Newt and his divisive character would draw moderates to him. Further, it appears clear that "moderates" really just means "liberals" more and more meaning there is NO WAY Newt would actually draw them.

and if the loss was hinged on women voters, then again...Newt holds much the same stance as Romney when it comes to stopping abortion and PP. So again...you really think women would vote for Newt over Mitt when they hold the same positions...but Newt dumped a diseased wife on top of it? Are you kidding me?

First of all, check your facts about Newt dumping a diseased wife. His daughters have refuted that claim. When you get that simple fact corrected, we can talk. And wrong as usual? Mitt didn't win, did he? Guess I"m not wrong about everything.

We are always in the hands of a good and great God. We have nothing to fear, but fear itself.
I don't listen to those talk shows. I just keep up with the news. The Jews in Germany in the late 30s and early 40s were in "God's hands" too. Not saying we should compare our situation with theirs but just sayin'....

Romney stepped into the healthcare issue contradicting himself that the mandate in MA was a fee. Later He flip-flops, in an interview, and called it a tax. So, the reality is that we didn't have a candidate to challenge Obama that made the people trust or feel comfortable.

There isn't any point in crying over spilled milk, it's done.
Yes, both parties are destroying our country. I just think the Republicans destroy it more slowly......

After how this whole primary and Convention deal went down. Not having hopes of an intervention coming from the Republican Party.

The RNC are fools for backing a liberal, progressive, vulture capitalist and the conservatives and Christians are fools for supporting him. We got exactly what we deserved. Call it Karma, God's will, or whatever. You get what you pay for and now the party has zero credibility because the "so called" conservatives and tea party people, enthusiastically supported this criminal. Good move. JMO.

Well, I didn't vote for either one of them. But I would have rather had Romney than Obama. At least Romney is not an open baby killer.
