WHERE DID ROMNEY SCREW UP?

I really give a rats ass about anything dor Romney can learn, hes done and crisped up. Id like to see how to prevent the same thing from other candidates positions.

I undertand the "shut up and deal" attitude, I fekt that way with John Kerry, I think here the Dems ran a better candidate an all the GOP could do was try to disassemble his accomplishments.

Roney really did piss off little nits of a constutuency that he really needed to court.
If all your candidates are of his quality, bring em on.

I'm the last person to scold anyone about spelling but sometimes your free for all style makes your comments difficult to comprehend.

Other than a rant against Romney, what are you saying here?

You seem to think the truth is lying when it comes to describing the Obama record.

Not surprised with that and I'm not going to even try to argue the opposite.

The surf can render huge boulders into sand but it takes thousands of years and I only have ( I hope) another 30 or so.

Romney was a good enough candidate. He lost because the Obama campaign's strategy was very solid and his was not.

Farmerman has a bad hand, and never mentions it.. no matter the taunts.

He eschews fixing spelling but once in a while does it when he feels he has to.

Tie your fingers and try to reply.

Sorry, Farmer, I try to shut up.

The American people want style. Obama has style.

I apologize for not doing a massive spellchek. However, I post quickly and spellcheck is for pussies, dont you agree?
Here, Ill do a redo
Me quoting me sez;



To the point and accurate. If you believe that Romney was a good candidate, then you apparently dont get out in the world much. When Romney would come up with his latest "foot in mouth" statement, even my conservative friends got hives. Dont try to act oblivious to Romney's inability to relate and his "pedaphagia", he was a disaster and all you guys had going for you was when Obama didnt show up for the first debate.

Even Karl Rove, in an attempt to cover his own ass, had said that
"It woulda been a much greater rout had we not spent all that money"

I understand Jeb Buh is in the wings, now that Limbaugh has vocally denutted Christie.

You guys are all operating from a complete misunderstanding about the electorate, MOST OF AMERICA IS NOT SOME RIGHT WING KLAVERN as most of your talking heads seem to assert.

Like I said.

I lliked your reply. It has nothing to do with the question but made me smile. It must be known that I only gave you the much desired red dot after conferring with the awards commissioner and the Board of Trustees.

And substance too.

I could mention that I love you. Ok, I will.




Never mind, I want to hear your take about the sewer system.

Hey! You moved the red dot! I didn't know you could do that.

If I had stopped to wonder who would notice the omission, I would have definately thought of sozobe.

Ive awarded two red dots in this thread. I thought you could award multiples .

Yours still had the mpost relevant answer to the question, Ossos was jess cute.


I always chnge rules

I'm sure farmerman appreciate your post, but you climbed way up on that high horse for nothing.

I never comment on the spelling in a post unless a mispelled word seems to be a Freudian slip that I find amusing.

I've responded to numerous posts by FM and if I was inclined to taunt him about his spelling I would have done so on numerous occassions since, for whatever the reason, it is usually mangled at best.

Usually I understand what is getting at, but this time I didn't . If he wants (again for whatever reason) to employ his free for all style then he's bound to run across someone who doesn't understand it. If he doesn't care he could have told me to pack sand.

By the way, I sometimes wish you would try harder.

See my response to your White Knight re: Your spelling.

Now that I comprehend what you wrote, I can only respond that we disagree.

This victory was based on campaign strategy, not candidate quality.

You can keep thinking that delusion if you like:

And you stay warm wrapped within your delusions.

How can you possibly know this? Surely, the quality of the candidate had SOMETHING to do with Romney's loss... if for no other reason than the fact that he's the one responsible for SETTING his campaign's strategy!

If he's such a damn good manager, why did he run an incompetent campaign organization, that wasted money and the efforts of their volunteers?

Cycloptichorn

Not that I disagree, but what part of the campaign strategy did you disagree with? I see several questionable moves:

1) He tried to run to the right of all his primary candidates. That lead to the "self deport" latino immigrant comment, the "don't support the bailout" fiasco and the "abolish FEMA" position.
2) He tried to suck up to everyone. This is what gets him to make a birther comment at a rally and tell a private group of rich people he's not concerned about the 47%. You can't get a rep as a leader when you are brown nosing all the time.
3) He really, fundamentally believed his own misinformation. He was deluded by his own internal polls, ignoring all the information out there telling him he was behind and believing he was headed towards a landslide victory. As a supposed businessman he really should have known better. (To me, this makes him look more like the Bear Stearns CEO playing golf while is company is collasping than a guy with the right skills to lead the country.) With a more realistic picture, he might have been able to better apply his resources.
4) He took his eye off the ball to try to get bogus charges to stick to the President. Bengazi was a distraction that got the base all riled up but didn't bring over undecided and used up precious time. The Jeep thing was a terrible distraction for his campaign at a time he needed his message to be sharp.

As for candidate quality, Mitt isn't bad especially compared to the others that put themselves forward, but he really at his heart does not understand how the average person in the US lives and works. Some of his "missteps" were blown up by the press and his republican primary challengers (like the $10k bet thing) but the 47% comment and the 95% of what you need to succeed comes from being born in the US and the "I'm a self made man and gave my father's estate to charity" comments show that he really has no concept of what your average person in the bottom two income quartiles face in paying the bills and trying to get ahead. Most of us don't have a CEO/Governor dad who can pay for overseas trips and Harvard.

Or buy us a house, or give us entry in the highest levels of society in order to get backing for a new business.
