the delusional mainstream "GOP" pundits are already re-envisioning the election

[CaptainAmerica]

Limbaugh is attempting already to re-envision the elections and the candidates who took part.

Mitt Romney and his family would have been the essence of exactly what this country needs. But what was Romney's recipe? Romney's recipe was the old standby: American route to success, hard work. That gets sneered at. I'm sorry. In a country of children where the option is Santa Claus or work, what wins? And say what you want, but Romney did offer a vision of traditional America. In his way, he put forth a great vision of traditional America, and it was rejected. It was rejected in favor of a guy who thinks that those who are working aren't doing enough to help those who aren't. And that resonated.

So now the delusion of a grandeur "Mitt Romney and his family" being the the great hope America should have had is being used to cover up the sore losers' failed policies and truly progressive nature.

While the election loss is fresh in peoples minds, I think it is a good idea right now to comment everywhere about how liberal Romney is and to just totally destroy his reputation of being that false "conservative" that he is.I see that people are already trying to claim that Mitt Romney was some sort of great conservative, and its revisionist.


Mitt Romney was not an american messiah, and he definitely wasn't a conservative. Romney was just a progressive who offered the U.S. a progressive vision, and non-traditional values.

Actually, he made his startup money the old fashioned way: Daddy gave it to him.

As for hard work, I didn't realize it took all that much hard work to buy out a company, lay everyone off and sell the assets...

 

[CaptUSA]

Wow, I just can't even imagine Rush saying that about Romney 6 months ago. He would have been tearing him apart for losing against Obama. He wouldn't be blaming America, he'd be blaming the GOP for allowing a liberal on their ticket again.

Neo-conservatives like to rewrite history and re-envision themselves to gain support.

Wait, that would be too much work. You have to get government loans and assistant to do that too if you're Romney.

Let's not talk about corporate welfare. American's that make below the poverty welfare are lazy and the real problem. Even Alan Greenspan, head of the counterfetting racket, said so last year.

Romney's government assistance.

It's this self serving hypocrisy that picks at the mote's in other people's eyes, and ignores TEN TRILLION DOLLAR BANK HEISTS that is the problem.
The GOP got taken over by these guys in 1994, and they were parading this hypocrisy well before that. They've never looked back.

They can keep dreaming. Most of the rank and file GOP are sick of them too judging from the election. A party ripe for remaking.

Limbaugh is one smart dude. He is wasting no time in initiating propaganda that "The People" lost their golden opportunity at a traditional and prosperous America. So that they will be more inclined to vote for the 2016 nominee, should he or she happen to be a pathetic RINO. This is genius. Hindsight false branding.

The narrative is being built as we speak. Everywhere I look (aside from here of course) the reason Romney lost was because he tried to pander to the far right of the GOP. Which, is of course, idiotic to say the least. However, like any old propaganda campaign "you just have to keep repeating it, to catapult the propaganda". Unfortunately, historically this works.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Well its obvious that the current "narrative" is that "america" rejected a noble ,family man who offered up "traditional values" hah. Its like hearing a TARP supporter claiming they were an Austrian economist all along.

Except if you have a large grassroots organization that is more effective.

We had better be. If the rank and file can't learn from a solid ass thumping, they can't learn at all.

Republicans ran a lackluster establishment moderate in 2008, who couldn't carry Florida, Ohio or Virginia, and lost.

Republicans ran a lackluster establishment moderate in 2012, who couldn't carry Florida, Ohio or Virginia, and lost.

Will the GOP run a lackluster establishment moderate in 2016, who can't carry Florida, Ohio or Virginia, and lose?

We have absolutely no post election strategy to spin the results our way. The GOP pundits are doing their job. We're patting ourselves on the back at RPF and DP and think we are doing something. Call into talk radio. Write a letter to the editor. Do something to get the story out that we were a factor. Or accept the fact that we are our own "media blackout".

We haven't even been preaching to those who showed up here last evening and today. We were too busy crowing to preach.

This isn't about our numbers. This is about how our principles appeal to everyone, while neoconnery appeals to few. The way to end corporatism is to decentralize government spending, and government regulation. Then corporations have to buy fifty state legislatures, rather than going to Washington for one stop shopping.

This is why Ron Paul would have won yesterday. Guess the Republicans didn't want Obama out as badly as they wanted to believe Fox lies. Now they have neither Obama out nor any reason to believe Fox lies. Remind anyone else about Aesop's story of the Fox and the grapes?

Wait...are you saying Rush is a blame america firster?

And the way to decentralize government spending when the rest of the country just doesn't get it is to.........? Somehow you've got to get enough other people to agree with you right?

So basically we wait for 2016 and hope for the best.

Heard Erick Erickson for a few minutes this evening.

From what I heard, he gets it. Romney was no conservative, so conservatives stayed home. Simple. No need to move further left. Just stand up for what you're supposed to believe in.

It's a tough pill for the GOP to swallow, but it's the same as what happened in 2008. Losses have nothing to do with the country moving further left. It's all about fiscal conservatives getting left out in the cold by Republican big spenders, bailouters, TARPers, ROMNEYCARE, etc.

GOP, get a clue.

They oughtta get something for the half a BILLION dollars he has been paid.

Yup he is brilliant at what he does. Was anyone listening to his show the day Obama was sworn in? I remember he had a huge surge in rating and popularity during that time period, and he made a bold move saying he hoped Obama would fail. I think that had a big impact in setting the "anybody but Obama" tone in Republican listeners. It struck a nerve.

The radio heads will scorch us if we call. I suggest that if you do call, don't come on as a loyal Ron Paul person but tactfully slip in some good points about him. ALWAYS portray the Federal Reserve that we're up to our ears in debt to as
"the Federal Reserve that Democrats gave us".

WE, yes WE can change the narrative by creating a truthful narrative. It will not only put the Republicans on the spot eventually forcing them to either reject the Fed as a Democrat failure or deny the Fed is a problem. That would be a lie on their part of course. As for Democrats, it would force them to either reject it, try to blame it on Republicans or justify it as necessary. I really believe our strategy should be to blame Democrats by association with the Fed and we should do the same thing realtive to foreign policy. After all. It's frigging TRUE. I really believe that by us spreading the truth in subtle ways simply by ALWAYS associating policing the world and debt via the evil Fed with the Democrats it will force the Republicans to embrace at least part of our platform. The two most important parts of it.
