I got this in an email from some Tea Party group:
“We’re disappointed in Governor Romney’s loss. But this goes to the heart of what we have been saying all along. Bob Dole didn’t win. John McCain didn’t win. And now Mitt Romney hasn’t won. The lesson the GOP and Americans need to learn is that weak-kneed Republicans do not get elected. Conservatives do.”
“The Tea Party has not yet begun to fight. It’s time for a wholesale reassessment of the D.C. establishment politicians and party grandees who have no commitment or courage to reduce the size of government. We now have another four years ahead of us with Barack Obama leading the charge against liberty.”
They’ll blame Mitt and Sandy and Christie, they’ll blame the media, they’ll do everything but look in the mirror. It’s not about weak knees, it’s about addled brains.
Fine with me, move even farther to the right, you nut jobs, and keep losing.
I just listened to Karl Rove on Fox for kicks and giggles – no – it had nothing to do with social issues – womens issues – it was the likeability factor that did Mitt in…I guess that is why the rape comments guys lost…they just weren’t likeable – nothing to do with their beliefs.
As to the Tea Party email above – agree with you – keep moving to the right so none of you ever get elected.
I know. Why would we want them to abandon their delusions? We should do what we can to feed them.
Thankfully, I’m a moderate, but if what you say is what they’re thinking right now, then I’d suggest they re-look at the polls, results, and margins from Tuesday. If they go further right, they’re going to get creamed in future elections.
