Summary
This document appears to be a page from an article or blog post written by Rabbi Steven Pruzansky analyzing the results of the 2012 US Presidential election. The text argues that Mitt Romney lost not due to campaign errors or Hurricane Sandy, but because 'conservative virtues' no longer inspire the electorate and because it is 'impossible to compete against free stuff.' The document bears a House Oversight footer, indicating it was collected as evidence, likely as part of an email attachment or correspondence file in the Epstein investigation.

"Romney lost because the conservative virtues - the traditional American virtues – of liberty, hard work, free enterprise, private initiative and aspirations to moral greatness - no longer inspire or animate a majority of the electorate."Source

"The most charitable way of explaining the election results of 2012 is that Americans voted
for the status quo - for the incumbent President and for a divided Congress. They must enjoy
gridlock, partisanship, incompetence, economic stagnation and avoidance of responsibility.
And fewer people voted.

gridlock, partisanship, incompetence, economic stagnation and avoidance of responsibility.
And fewer people voted.
But as we awake from the nightmare, it is important to eschew the facile explanations for the
Romney defeat that will prevail among the chattering classes. Romney did not lose because
of the effects of Hurricane Sandy that devastated this area, nor did he lose because he ran a
poor campaign, nor did he lose because the Republicans could have chosen better
candidates, nor did he lose because Obama benefited from a slight uptick in the economy
due to the business cycle.

Romney lost because he didn't get enough votes to win.
That might seem obvious, but not for the obvious reasons. Romney lost because the
conservative virtues - the traditional American virtues – of liberty, hard work, free enterprise,
private initiative and aspirations to moral greatness - no longer inspire or animate a majority
of the electorate.
