Ahh yes, more race hating. With conservatives like you, who needs liberals?

More cluelessness by the resident dull blade.

Or do you really think “Mr.Cool Black Guy” wasn’t a factor against Yet Another Old White Man?

Romney wasn’t a “by his bootstraps” capitalist. He had a lot of trouble articulating what true free markets and capitalism can do for prosperity. There are others out there that can carry the message with more passion.

Indeed.

Instead of picking the one with star power this go around we settled on boring white guy number #1 who had to buy airtime everytime he wanted to get apoint across.

Wall street and the banks gets all kinds of tax breaks the avg person will never see.

Wall Street and banks also pay all kinds of fees, and have to comply with all sorts of rules and regulations that the average person will never have to. They also have all kinds of expenses the average person will never have. What’s your point?

VDH offers sanity in a party of screaming and fingerpointing.

He and Thomas Sowell are invaluable and should be listened to more often. Their advice and insight is spot on.

agreed very good article

It doesn’t matter what the party’s message is, it will never get out to the people. The major media will never report it unless a Republican gaffes. Things that are NOT the message will, however, get wide distribution. “Romney wants to ban tampons” for example.

this is why you need star power to get over the heads of the media. Instead of picking the one with star power this go around we settled on boring white guy number #1 who had to buy airtime everytime he wanted to get apoint across.

In other words, the GOP should promise more freebies to everyone to get their vote. Well, bread and circuses worked really well for the Roman Empire, so why not.

You know this freebies crap is getting really old and it will drive away the middle class. The GOP isn’t pure as the driven snow when it comes to handing out freebies to thier special interests. Hell Bush invented K-street. Wall street and the banks gets all kinds of tax breaks the avg person will never see. Big business gets trade deals cuts, tax cuts Oil compnaies ge ttheir piece of the freebies also. the dems didn’t win becaus ethey gave out freebies to the poor. Obama won because Mitt was a terrible candidate. He was out of touched. He never tied Obama to the economic mess because he had the same polices as Obama when it came to government programs to “create jobs” Mitt was upset with the fed chairman when he did Qe3 not because the printing of the money would drive up inflation and hurt millions of people on fixed incomes but because he thought Qe3 would work. Mitt was never able to tie Obama-Bush to the economic mess because Mitt believes in the programs he just thought they needed a better manager.

Here is a thought until the GOP stops giving out freebies to the rich and well connected why don’t they stop with this holier than thou attitude about the poor and working class. I want to support a party that is for small government that hands out no “freebies” to anyone but if the government is going to hand out freebies to the rich the poor adn middle class will want their cut of the pie too.

… his agenda was aimed at getting the underclass jobs, empowering the lower middle classes…

It’s funny, I was just thinking about that this morning…. one word I don’t recall ever hearing out of Romney’s mouth during the entire campaign was “empowerment.”

I think it would have helped.
