Romney attacked conservatived during the primaries and distanced himself from evangelicals/conservatives/TEA Partiers as soon as he had sewn-up the nomination. Indeed, the absence of evangelicals/conservatives/TEA Partiers at the Republican convention stuck out like a sore thumb. Predictably, on the day after the election, non-support from evangelicals/conservatives/TEA Partiers was quickly trotted out to explain Romney’s loss.
I am an evangelical/conservative/TEA Partier, and I have held my nose and voted for each moderate du jour put forth by the GOP-e going back to Gerald Ford. As a gesture of appreciation, each time said moderate lost the finger was pointed at me as an inflexible evangelical/conservative/TEA Partier who refused to back the party’s choice (see above).
No more. From now on I’m working at the grass-roots level to ensure that candidates who share my values are elected. I may even have a go at our local RINO Congressman in 2014.
