I'm in a state of shock, as we all must be tonight.

I'm not. I knew the GOP couldn't beat a liberal with another liberal.

Acknowledge that we're now the MINORITY in this nation.

The last two decades of liberal Republican nominees should have made it clear that Conservatives are a minority not only in the nation, but within the GOP.

I don't want any recrimination against Romney. (No, he wasn't my choice, but I supported him.) He ran a much better campaign than McCain, who had no earthly chance to win at all.

Until Romney decided he wanted to run for the White House, he was every bit the liberal that many Democrats are, but ultimately I blame the GOP establishment. They have given us two decades of liberal candidates and the few times they've won have meant an even bigger, more expensive, and/or more powerful and intrusive government.

So...what do we do?

If you want to win elections, you start supporting Conservatives. An (R) next to a name means nothing anymore, that person is either a Conservative or they are not. A liberal with an (R) next to their name is still a liberal, and we can no longer blindly vote straight-ticket.

The GOP's response will be to find somebody just as liberal as Romney (Jeb Bush anybody?) and we can't let that happen. Furthermore, we have to retake Congress with Conservatives. Congress is the ultimate battle.

Whether that means supporting the Tea Party movement (which the GOP can/will try to subvert) or something else, I don't know, I just know that the GOP establishment is going to run liberals as long as we blindly bend over and vote for them.
