Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire "Anyone but Romney". The Graphical View

As long as those liberal States like Iowa continue to have a overly significant say in our election process, things will remain static.

With Dimocraps in control, static is downhill. You think folks like nwa give a crap if we are $50 trillion in debt. They don't have the mental capacity to contemplate the fact we spend over $4 billion per week to pay the interest. They think interest is what you pay to a game,

Yeah, it isn't like the "conservative" Republican Party "accidently" gave the Caucus to Romney....

Seems to me "conservative Republicans" had a hard time with the democratic process and didn't like who actually tallied more votes.

Republicans hate Tea Party people more than the Democrats do, especially in liberal Iowa.....

I said all that crap not just some.

You want to win the presidency, pick a more conservative plus personally appealing GOP candidate not a liberal from the GOP.

The election will be decided by middle-of-the-road (read: moderate) dems and independents. They are not suddenly going to turn "hard right" and vote inconsistent with their historic political leanings to elect a hard right conservative. Therefore, what we should strive to nominate is the most conservative, electable candidate we can find---one with a record of governing prudently and conservatively.

That's the William F. Buckley approach....I agree but who, exactly, is that going to be this time around?

I agree.

That is true, as long as conservatives continue to not show up to vote, which they won't if an "electable candidate" that is attractive to "middle-of-the-road (read: moderate) dems and independents", like Romney, is nominated.

How many times do you guys have to make the same mistake before you realize it's stupid, or are you throwing the elections on purpose?

If we have a moderate the real conservatives won't vote and if we run a real conservative the moderates won't vote.

Dimocraps win because for the most part they all vote for their man.

I think it was Herman Cain who said we have to vote like democrats. We have to vote for the best conservative, but we have to vote. We are in the shape we are in because many didnt do their patriotic duty and vote for the best they could.

It is a lie, propagated by the left, that moderates will not vote for a conservative. It is a fact, that conservatives will not vote for a liberal. The numbers and results don't lie.

Not a bad idea to replace the panty waste in chief with Obama lite. The American citizins would not have to suffer the shock of dealing with a president who has the best ideas for the protection of the U.S. and really cares about the nation.

Exactly

no one gets elected without the moderate vote

the problem is liberals are more forgiving of a democrat catering to the middle than conservatives are of a republican.

Romney had to go hardcore evangelical war hawk conservative to get the nomination - and had to constantly reinforce it during every primary - thus turning off moderates as he fought successive campaigns against Cain, Bachman, and Santorum

and then when he admitted with the nomination it was time for him to move back toward the middle, his base went apeshit.

Had he won the nomination early and had the full support of the base, he could have worked the middle early on as opposed to the last few months of the campaign.

I doubt it would have mattered though.

The Republican candidate gets the "moderate" Republican vote...always. Romney GOT the moderate vote. He did not get the conservative vote. What is so damn hard to understand about that?

Exactly

Absolutely. Reagan was painted to the moderates by the MSM as the most extreme sort of conservative, yet they voted for him in droves.

And after the vote, the white house went ape chitt - again.
