Your Say: For Romney, sour grapes

Mitt Romney recently stated that President Obama won the election because of gifts he gave to certain voters.

Comments from Facebook:

It sounds like Mitt Romney is just being a sore loser, that's all. We teach our kids to behave better than that.

Kimberly Jackson

Mitt Romney takes the stage to concede the election.

Let me be the first to say that Romney and the Republicans gave the Democrats the biggest gift of all: a weak candidate and even weaker message.

Jimbo Kay

Mitt Romney is correct on all counts. Democrats now have what they've striven for: a dependency class that is larger than the productive class. Once they've won someone over because of what they give them, they're forever hooked, even if they're actually worse off than before. Nowhere to go from here except down and that will be hard and fast.

Don Scotter

It seems to me that Mitt Romney has blamed everyone but his party for the loss of the election. It was the GOP's for the taking because of the economy. Instead of focusing on that, they focused on every other issue and alienated 53% of the country. Big mistake.

Stephanie Mullen Fudge

The voters didn't understand that Obama just wanted their votes. He will drop them now.

Barbara Gooch

Romney does not accept responsibility for his own mistakes or the shortsightedness of his party. He would have been a disaster as president.

Nanette Bowman

Romney told the truth to a pack of entitlement junkies. The fact that he didn't get elected says more about how we have fallen than his failure.
