Umm, Herman quit.

Palin never got in.

The rest couldn’t beat Romney, who couldn’t beat Obama.

Even on FR we couldn’t unite behind any one of them.

They couldn't beat Romney because the voting public isn't paying attention to what's really happening.
Too many of them are worried about being nice, rather than solving problems.
Too many elected Republicans are "going along to get along", instead of standing up for principles.

So where are we in this "Fatal Sequence" of The Cycle of Nations:?

Bondage to Spiritual Faith;
Spiritual Faith to Courage;
Courage to Freedom;
Freedom to Abundance;
Abundance to Selfishness;
Selfishness to Complacency;
Complacency to Apathy;
Apathy to Fear;
Fear to Dependency;
Dependency to Bondage
