I’ll go even further

Dole - rino - pretended to be conservative - lost
Bush - rino - genuine about what he thought and believed - won
McCain - rino - pretended to be conservative - lost
Romney - rino - pretended to be conservative - lost

Bush - rino - genuine about what he thought and believed - won

I didn't throw him in because he actually was reeclected Ah, but you see even though Bush was genuine, he didn't really "win" he was more selected. But I get your point!

I think you’re missing the point:

Romney was actually more conservative than most people thought.

The problems were two:

1) He’s a Mormon.
2) Most people thought he was not conservative.

Had Romney held his views as a Catholic, he would be president right now.

The problem is, he is not. Never was, and was perceived as not conservative by enough on our side to lose.

So... enough on our side did not vote.

Thus Romney lost.

All that said, we need to regroup quickly and field a real candidate for competing with Obama.

Palin. Or someone else. But soon.
