Republican Party in disarray.

Mitt Romney’s shadow looms over a Republican Party in disarray.

The face of the GOP for much of the last year, the failed presidential candidate has been a virtual ghost since his defeat Nov. 6. He has quietly weathered the fallout of the campaign from the seclusion of his Southern California home, emerging only momentarily for a private lunch at the White House with President Barack Obama on Thursday.

His loss and immediate withdrawal from politics, while welcomed by most, has created a leadership vacuum within his party. It’s left the GOP rudderless, lacking an overarching agenda and mired in infighting, with competing visions for the way ahead, during what may be the most important policy debate in a generation.

In his final meeting with campaign staffers at his Boston headquarters, Romney promised to remain "a strong voice for the party," according to those in attendance. But so far he has offered little to the Capitol Hill negotiations over potential tax increases and entitlement program changes that could affect virtually every American.

He declined to comment on the Treasury Department’s recent refusal to declare China a currency manipulator, which was one of his signature issues over the past 18 months. He made no public remarks after his meeting with Obama, quickly fading away, again.

Both parties are a big mess.

Mitt never was a leader imo. He just tried to please the people. Contrary to the latest chatter he did not promote anti abortion. He steered far away from the topic when possible. He did not lead on "gay rights" issues. He proclaimed the most harmless statement that marriage was between a man and woman while proclaiming he was fine with gays adopting children. He resented social issues being brought up and wanted to ONLY talk about money.

On the left we saw during the Democrat Convention to them the election was ONLY ABOUT SOCIAL ISSUES. They did not and do not care about a "fiscal cliff".

Their concern was/is the promoting of personal whoredoms for all. The Repubs dont get it. They cannot accept the fact Amerika has become that evil. They still think if the economy gets worse the people will turn to them.

They to this day think its all about the economy when that is far from the truth. The majority would rather go over the cliff with the Dems holding tightly to their "rights to sin" and see the country totally bankrupt than to vote for a pro life, anti gay rights, halfway moral agenda they wrongly think the Republican Party is pushing.
