The Quartermaster says;
Romney lost because he was a lousy candidate. I said it long before
the election, during the election and I'll say it long after. Having
said that he would have been a much better president than Obama ever
will be. George W. Bush won without including gays or pro-life
exempters. You seem to be advocating that a person surrender their
integrity for a political win. I will never do that. That's why I
don't vote in national or state elections. And that's why I do not
subscribe to a political party.

Well...I could well be wrong, but I don't ever recall George W. Bush first
disparaging 47% of the American people and then claiming to be concerned
about and supporting 100% of the American people as Romney clearly did. And
if I am indeed wrong, I stand ready to be corrected by anyone here who has
the relevant references/citations/links as per GW Bush.
And I am not advocating anything...least of all that a person surrender
their [sic] integrity for a political win. After all, it was not I who made
that 47% remark followed by that 100% one. Clearly Romney when making that
100% comment without any kind of detail or clarification meant that he is
concerned about and supportive of those he considered to be part of his 100%
and not those he considered not part of his 100%, such as gays, pro choice
folks, and supporters of the single payer health program. In this way,
Romney's 100% is exclusionary rather than inclusionary.
