Dear Republican Party, this is what happens when you treat your Ron Paul supporters like shit

This is exactly it. The Republicans shat upon the only real conservative on the ticket, and thought that everybody would fall in line. The irony is delicious. Especially because Romney was not advocating any huge difference compared with Obama.

Hell, I have even rethought the Russia comment Obama was caught with. Russia could be a great ally, and it seems that Romney wasn't even willing to play ball with him.

The main concern for me, though, was that while everybody knows Obama's anti-gun, he hasn't the political clout to actually do anything about it. Romney, on the other hand, is a confirmed gun-grabber, and with the mandate of the Republican party he could have done real damage, with 1/2 or more of the Republicans just falling into line on any vote he would have advanced, and all the Democrats, we would have a much greater chance of losing gun rights than we would under Obama.

Now the real question becomes, does the Republican party view this as a splash of cold water, knowing that the tea party would rather vote Johnson than the milk-toast Romney? Will they finally recognize that a white Obama isn't acceptable to the real conservatives?

My guess, is that they will fail even more miserably next time, but this will allow an actual alternative to emerge.

Plus, with Obama we already know we won't be going to war with Iran. With Romney, it was all but certain, and that would have been dangerous.

Prediction? End of the world is postponed until at least 2016!

Somehow I think the idiots in charge of the Republican party are not eager for a house cleaning. Their corporate backers would suffer just as badly as the Democrats under Paul. Principles be damned, this is about MONEY! As long as some generic buttplug keeps the largesse flowing, it's all good.

The new hotness? SEQUESTRATION! Look for this to be the new buzzword during Obama's next term.

for the morning crowd

I stayed home. No WAY I am voting for the 'lesser of two evils'.

As far as I'm concerned: EVIL IS EVIL.

You repubelickins let people like Carl 'I love Satan' Rove pick your candidate for you. You are so brainwashed by the mainstream media that you actually MOCK freedom and liberty.

Look at what the media did to Ron Paul from the START. Either totally ignore him or MOCK him at every chance they got.

I'll NEVER vote in a ReBLOODlican or a DemoCRIP.

This country is Sodom & Gomorrah, it's going to be destroyed by GOD.

BTW....ROMNEY & OBAMA ARE COUSINS.

ALL presidents are RELATED.

ELECTIONS are a FRAUD.

Grow up.

Saving the country isn't about voting. It's about capturing the spirit we lost. At one point an old school republican would have been a modern libertarian. At one point we were told that all men are created equal. That does not mean all men are ended equally.

Choice and responsibility make us who we are. I totaled a car this week, DUI. I fucked up. Made a bad choice. I'm going to court, taking responsibility for it, and in the meantime doing a lot of productive work, doing small design innovation in my basement. What I'm working on would probably be profitable, but much more so, beneficial. At one point that was the goal of every working man in the country. Because one needed to support the ones he loved.

Now we elect people to pass laws so that my parents tax dollars fund my rehabilitation, rather than leaving me on the hook to may them myself or them doing it out of care. We as a people elected an unloving mom and dad government who charges the older son rent to pay for the younger ones bail, rather than the watchdog government that occasionally poops on the front step and awaits the tablescraps you feed it to sustain it's fighting form.


All because man no longer cares about beneficial work, but only profitable. Rather than innovate, rather than invent, rather than solve problems, we stagnate and our industrial nation becomes a paper nation. Rather than learn to create our own world, we chose to rely on our mom and dads, because we grew lazy, and they give us free food! Why build a better method of IC motor or try implosion if you love designing engines, when the government doesn't support it, the people can't afford it, and you have to pay so much in taxes and go through regulation after regulation. You can become a wealthy king of business, and a noted inventor, if only the world cared as much about advancement, both personally and as a people, as you do.

Do you wanna save this country? Do what our forefathers did, find a tech advancement or find a resource, and build a boomtown. Wanna save the economy? Export to other countries primarily, do business on the internet. We have millions of college graduates working in fields they didn't go to college for, why don't all of you get together, build a few new cities, and upgrade America.

This isn't a rant, this is your instruction. Colorado and Washington just legalized marijuana. Why not build a few Hydroponic boomtowns? If enough of you could go tenting in parks across the country and rally at townhall meetings bitching about what you'd do different, go do it. Now's your chance, build, create, prove to the world America isn't going down. Prove to the world that our generation is rising, that we have no fear, and that all the best new technology all across the world is still designed and commercialized in the USA.

Rise. It's time for real change.

Now 51% of us will be takers, instead of just 47%.

that was the bottom line for me as well.

ita w/all you wrote though not sure about iran
hope obama doesn't do anything but then he's not the one making the real decisions so we'll see but i'm with you, truly hope not
we don't need $10/gallon gas and milk which would be the result of such a war
can't believe anyone w/a brain thinks iran is a bigger threat than nobody being able to afford food or gas or heating...

but, anyway, i doubt they'll learn
by 2016 they'll be plugging into the words of beck, limbaugh, hannity, o'reilly, etc. who will be all too happy to, once again, tell them who does and doesn't have a chance at winning and will get behind another phony conservative warmonger and we'll see poll after poll showing how close the race will be (lol) and they'll get angry again, shut out anyone who disagrees again, and the party will further fracture...

what they don't realize is that they NEED independents
i don't know how many threads i've started here trying to explain that only to have neocon romney supporters laugh and mock
but, as i've said in the past many times (only to be ridiculed) they need our votes
and they aren't getting them unless it's a person with a track record of upholding the constitution, fighting for our rights, and not pissing away our grandchildren's futures on empire building and profit for globalists in wars that cause real pain to innocent children when they get starved and bombed for living somewhere where bankers want more power

they should know this
instead they nominate people who, election after election, promise to pursue the path we don't want with even more zeal than the guy before
i'm becoming convinced most of them are retarded tbh

So the post-mortems have started. Where are the fingers being pointed?

1. Mitt Romney - he's a weak candidate, he sucks, etc.

2. We need Hispanics and women, not just old, white men

[link to hotair.com]

3. Similar to #2, the electorate has permanently changed

[link to hotair.com]


Not really very inspiring stuff. The problem seems to be perceived as the candidate and the inability of the party to market its ideas to Hispanics and women. There does not seem to be much understanding that the problem is the current set of ideas. You can't sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in white gloves (unless you are Tommy Boy).

The good news is some Republican thinkers are beginning to refocus on ideas. Not many, but some. Here's one good link. I will add another one later.

The search for ideas will lead back to Austrian economic thinkers and libertarian political thinkers.

I hope.

right there in front of them all the time.

good post ac. wonder how the Paul haters are justifying themselves now.

I absolutely loved RP and voted for him in the primaries, but it was obvious it would be stolen from him and I resigned myself to vote for Romney. What you have done has harmed the entire country, possibly fatally out of spite.

The only thing that makes it tolerable for me is that you will go down with the rest of us. Congratulations. Your selfishness may have destroyed our country. It was possible with Romney we may have had more time to wake others up. With Obama, we may only have months, if that. Thanks very much.

Sincerely,

Another RP supporter who put country before self.

I couldn't vote for Mitt after the way the party, largely at the instigation of the Romney campaign, methodically worked to discredit Paul.

On the spectrum of ideas, I actually consider the gulf between Obama and Romney smaller than the gulf between Romney and Paul. Romney wasn't championing any substantial change. He just wanted to shift the status quo just enough to aid his benefactors rather than Obama's.

You might be right that a Romney presidency would have bought us more time, but the more important point is that the Republican party would have learned that there is no cost to crushing independent thought within the party. The party is now in crisis, which is good, because it opens up the possibility that party will reconsider what it stands for. In a debate of ideas, the Liberty wing stands to continue gaining influence.

Yeah, good point.
Enjoy your Obamacare

Really? If something major happens or a collapse happens, the most organized will be in control. It sure as won't be you Paultards. You guys can't even organize a fuckin pizza party. What did you give us.......Johnson? 99% never heard of him up until a few months ago. Brilliant! Yeah, you guys aren't picking up shit when you just gave Obama and Co that much more power and more time to organize. At least Romney would have to seek reelection where Obama doesn't. He's got free reign Without consequences now.

You retards keep gloating that you screwed the GOP when all you did is screw yourselves. You're going to get the exact opposite of everything you believe in with Obama unchecked. But hey, you screwed the GOP. Although you fuckin monkeys hate the GOP, they're the only ones saving your asses because they have a majority in the House. If they didn't have the House, you'd be singing a different tune.

You assholes are going to be the first to complain when Obama dry fucks you but hey, you screwed the GOP.

Congrats and

I'll show you again in 4 years. Romney would be the same shit different asshole.

You mean it was over before it started. We all knew that Romney was the nominee before the GOP primary process even started, and we all knew he had no chance to beat Obama.. Now why the media got a $2 billion stimulus on political ads when the outcome of the race was already determined is beyond me.

Man you are really stupid have you read the 1rst amendment?

The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights. The amendment prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.

Thread: Ron Paul's Revenge!!! GOP in Deep Trouble.

Many cid remove themselves and didn't vote in this election or they voted for a third party candidate.

So let me get this straight. I screwed the gop because I refused to vote for the lesser of two evils? Because I didn't vote for a warmonger chicken hawk, police statist, fascist/socialist, crony capitalist flip flopper without a shred of principle who supports the ndaa,drone killing,the fed?

Maybe you should also blame the fundamentalists who wouldn't vote for him because they don't think he is a Christian.

I won't be complaining because tweedledum,tweedledee is all the same to me.
