Wah.

Let the circular firing squad form…unloose the pointing finger.

Oh my!

(1) It’s too early for this.

(2) It’s all wrong. McCain got clobbered but Romney (or anyone else) would have got clobbered even worse. At least McCain won the south, based on the primary results I’m not sure that Romney would have even done that. McCain was the right guy; this just wasn’t going to be the GOP’s year.

I think Guliani would have won, and probably (though I didn’t support him, Huckabee). Both of whom I think would have managed to address the economic crisis more convincingly than McCain. As unfair as it is, Romney would have been roasted precisely BECAUSE of his big business background.

It’s grotesque, since Romney really does know his ass from his elbow on economic matters and Obama hasn’t a clue, but this is the level of irrationality we were up against.. just look at McCain took so much blame, and totally unfairly.

But that’s something we couldn’t have known about in advance, and all things considered, McCain was the best shot. Water under the bridge.

If McCain’s seven houses indicae his elitism and if Palin is dangerous Christian who wants a redux of Holy War…

Romney will be painted as Richest Mormon Elitist and the King of Apocalypse.

Many people have sided with the liberal media and the congress-run propaganda that the Conservatives are gearing towards the Born Again Christian War against Islam… a MAD war as the Americans voting for Obama are saying.

You should change your viewpoint. That’s the reason why we are defeated today. Many conservatives are lukewarm in fighting the liberal, pacifist, fascist, and socialist propaganda.

So I fail to see your point. As for the economy, he showed he was willing to move as far left as required during the primary. I fail to see how that is any different from McCain’s strategy. I was not a McCain supporter in the primary… in fact he was my second to last choice… but I am not delusional enough to think that Romney or any of the other guys we had to pick from could have done well enough to win it in this environment.

The above article is well written–John McCain proves what we should have realized all along. America sees things in black and white (no pun intended) and the man who reached across the aisle and tried to make nice with Kennedy, Feingold, and Leiberman was handed a pretty decent electoral college butt kicking. There is no reaching across the aisle–I don’t think it is significantly different than negotiating with terrorists. There are folks calling for us not to be as angry as the left was toward George Bush, but I don’t see us as being the problem. Again, as in dealing with terrorists, I think there is this sense that if we were just somehow nicer to them, they would like us back and the whole thing would be okay. John McCain thought he would be given a free ride from the media but he was wrong. McCain had a fairly clean past and Obama’s was riddled with questionable associations and statements, and it just didn’t matter. Some things are worth fighting for and conservative principles are one of them. I agree with a poster on this site who said that he is glad in a way that the whole thing is on the Democrats now–let them be responsible for every plague, every storm, every lost job, every pulled muscle in America because there is a side of me that can no longer stand to hear how every problem is because of George Bush. Stand up for conservativism until this site and talk radio gets shut down –at that point, you can go outside and enjoy the new Utopia.

This defeat was ours because for nearly eight long years when Republicans were ruining this country by being “compassionate,” we conservatives said nothing and even defended them against the MSM.
