Romney at the Bat

Give the real reason.... Mitt sank to Tea Party levels WORST mistake in what could have been a victory for him. The toxic Tea Party killed his chances. Many were swept away...and the few that stayed (darling Bachmann spent more per vote in her district than Obama and Romney did) were bitter battles. Lesson learned Republicans

You're kidding of course? Since when do Republicans ever learn anything? They, if they survive, will be dancing to the same old tune 40 years from now!

Blame all you want...but the truth is, Hispanics will vote for the Dem's just like the blacks have. They bought into the lie that the Dem's will take care of them, and look at what history has shown. Many Repub's stayed home, the "left and west coast" with lot's of minorities made the difference, just check the blue/red state voter map.

The outlook wasn't brilliant for the GOP this year:

The economy had tanked; hope and change had morphed to fear.

The strong and swift refused to join the presidential race.

So the weak and doubtful rose -- and tried to take their place.

Our Herman Cain, for instance, flogged his taxing 9-9-9.

To 10 parts cuts but 1 part tax, all said that they'd decline.

Newt brought his wife, who wore her hair as if it were a hat.

Forget the freak...
