Extremism Cost Conservatives the U.S. Presidency

Here comes the last round!Other IssuesMy opponent then gives a list of radical issues that might effect the election. These are gun control, taxes, immigration, the UN, and foreign policy. However, he has not provided proof that these issues would be considered extreme by people. In fact, none of Romney's stances on any of these issues are really radical. Romney wants to cut taxes, but that it not really radical. Neither is having less gun control or more prevention on illegal immigration. No one really considers foreign policy issues radical unless its something really crazy. Romney's policies are tuly not that out of the norm. I added the next most important issues according to Gallup. These are surely not radical issues.I have provided proof these issues are important. Romney's standings on these issues are not radical. Its not radical to be against a healthcare plan by President Obama and create a new one and declining ethics is not radical either.AbortionMy opponent has argued that the reason Romney lost was because of Paul Ryan, the GOP platform, and several famous Tea partiers. However, he is completely wrong and has once again not provided evidence that is true. The party, the VP candidate, and allied organizations all support and follow the presidential candidate. The presidential candidate does not follow them. Its common sense. Everyone knows that Supreme Court candidates have to be screened before becoming justices, this safely prevents radicals these days from being elected. Also, remember that the Republicans may not win the majority in the Senate.The Other Radical IssuesRemember, the conservatives follow Romney and the people listen to Romney and think about what he says. Romney is not a conservative candidate, just a moderate one. Elephant Watcher has proven that. So Romney is not radical and thus the people do not think he is radical. Had the candidate been more conservative we might have seen something else. Conservatives follow Romney, it is not the other way around. [1]Also, keep in mind that in the 2010 midterms the people elected many conservatives to Congress so the people may not see the stances as radical. That 15% that would disqualify Democrats are most likely liberal democrats, who else would disqualify it first? Even if it disqualifies a candidate, it may not be considered important. Remember less than 1% (in fact is less than 0.5%) believe that abortion is an important issue according to Gallup. As for the pro-choice Republicans, remember that other issues probably made them vote for Romney. I doubt many of them see abortion as an important issue. Again, remember that 49% of Americans consider themselves Democrats and Obama won by 50.9%. All that 0.5% gives him is 49.5% for the election. Still not enough to get him to win. Remember, abortion has only been proven that it has the potential to be radical.Obama's VictoryMy opponent just basically ranted that popularity is faulty reasoning without giving proof or even debating it. Because of this he has dropped an argument I have made so I am victorious. Regaring Swing StatesMy opponent has not made proof that the radical issues (aka Abortion) is important in the swing states. Because of this, we don't know if swing states care a lot about abortion.ConclusionI have proven that only a small amount care about the radical issues. There is only one radical issue that has been agreed in this debate: abortion. Only a small amount of people care about it and there is no proof that these people live in swing states to help Obama there. Even if Obama received all 0.5% of the people who see abortion as a major issue, he would still not win. The people looked at moderate Romney who was the candidate, the conservatives followed Romney. The conservatives had no effect because of this. President Obama was already a popular president which helped him win. Vote Con!Sources1. http://www.elephantwatcher.com...
