I REFUSE to compromise the basic principles of the party by the amount we would have to so that we can “snare” these voters.

Why would you have to. Conservatism is an idea - a philosophy, not a race or ethnic group.

Allen West is a conservative, Sara Palin...etc.

Educating the people is what is needed.

Like Rush Limbaugh says: "conservatism wins everytime it's tried".

It was not tried in 2012 or in 2008.

Mitt Romney is no conservative.

Allen West lost.... to a freakin’ drunk! And he was an excellent messenger of conservative principles.

What I’m saying is that the voters made themselves clear. Hispanics care about open-border immigration above all else. Blacks care about voting Democrat above all else. There are great exceptions, but that’s the majority. They’re called “idiots”.

Name one conservative principle or idea Romney embraced. He agreed with Obama’s policies - both domestic and foreign. I couldn’t embrace them and for the first time in life, I skipped voting. I don’t feel particularly terrible this morning. For me, there won’t be any good deal of change in the next four years. I felt that Romney wouldn’t have made my life better.
