However, during national elections, we have told moderates on the West Coast and the Northeast that if you don’t subscribe to conservative Christian principles of the Deep South and Midwest then you can go take a hik

We nominated a liberal Northeastern RINO.

Your analysis breaks down.

We nominated and ran a northeastern RINO this time and lost.

Your anaylsis makes no sense.

Conservatives will never, ever, ever do this again.

Sorry to tell you, but there is no ‘we’ anymore.

The GOP jumped the shark this time. Not going to go into the reasons why, just check the record.

It’s Constitution Party time for all those who want this country back. And we will take it back.

The Republican ‘Wet Noodle’ Party is not only finished, they’re through.

Another call to pander to the abortionists, homosexualists, atheists, big government pushers, shamnesty crowd and weak-kneed sisters of either gender? No thank you. RINOs will never win! When all the dust settles on all the arguments, Romney lost because he was the GOP-e RINO loser dujour.

Run a rock-ribbed conservative or dissolve the party!

FUGOPe!!

Oh please. Mitt Romney is the most Rockefellerian republican to get the nomination since Gerald Ford. He ran the most moderate, civil, non-threatening campaign in decades, and it did no good at all.

Yes, a couple of stupid yahoos in senate races shot their big mouths off and cost themselves big-time, but that isn't why republicans can no longer win in California and the northeast. Immigration, demographics, and geographic relocation have made that happen. America today is simply MUCH different than it was in the '70s and '80s, and it's never going back to the way it was when a Nixon or Reagan could sweep almost everything.

How do we get more votes than the Democrats?

Give them more free stuff? You got to give the people what they want man! This is all show business now. It ain't politics anymore.

I don't think you can win if you isolate women, the youth, and the male libertarian elements with rhetoric that sounds more like the Taliban than American.

Screw you...you're lost.

You don’t make any sense.

California and the other states you mention aren’t going to go for the Republican candidate no matter what.

If every little thought that trickles into everyone’s brain, that they are somehow compelled to share with the world, is “News/Activism”, then there is no “News/Activism”. I'll be glad when all these navel gazing vanities end up back where they are avoidable.

This is the thanks we get for voting for one of you RINO pukes - being called Taliban.

I would say go F yourself, but you are probably already plugged up there.

This is the right question.

But your analysis proceeds from the premise that what we are facing is primarily a political problem.

I would submit that what we are facing is primarily a cultural problem.

Beneath the landscape of politics lies a bedrock of cultural factors.

The liberals changed the cultural landscape by leveraging a very small portion of the population to affect the broader culture of the American people through movies, television, books, magazines, newspapers, websites, school curriculum, university faculty, and so on.

They were ruthless in keeping control of influential positions in Hollywood, the mainstream media, university faculties, publishing company editors, teachers' unions and similar places.

After decades, they are reaping the benefits of their long march through the cultural institutions.

Does it strike anyone odd that a terrorist revolutionary like Bill Ayers who was willing to plant bombs and kill 25 million Americans if need be (according to an undercover informant), decided to change his strategy entirely and devote his life to educational curricula? His goals didn't change. He concluded that it was more effective means to the same ends.

Politics follow culture.

I think you're advocating that the party become more flexible on the social issues like abortion and homosexual marriage. And should the party become more flexible when it comes to immigation? And should the party become more flexible on economic issues like income tax rate increases, public employee unions, entitlements?

Where do you draw the line?

What an utter load of crap. Guess what, we hear this from the establishment every single time that they lose an election -- "social conservatives are a drain, they need to shut up". And when we do, we lose.

Every. Damn. Time

That's the BS that gets us Romney and McCain and Dole. It's going to get us Christie in 2016 if you "party" guys get your way.

We've done it your way long enough, now it's our turn. The answer isn't to abandon the field to the left, but to offer a clear and distinct alternative. Get with the program or get out of the way.

Excellent commentary and analysis.

I agree with you most of your points.

Honestly, I think what killed us was the “War on Women.” However unjust you think that attack was, we have to come to terms that some rhetoric on our side is what hung us.


That falls apart when you look at the polls from the time that showed that support from women was increasing not decreasing. We were winning the war on women. And that is no “fluke”

The Democrats kicked the can down the road a few paces, but that can is still sitting there in Europe. I was hoping for a Republican President so the Federal bailout of California would be turned off. The natural consequences of liberalism/socialism/progressivism will cause California to fail. The only question is will it be sooner or later? Most Republicans believe in getting after the problem now instead of letting it fester and get worse. The Democrats are like quack doctors. They just keep treating a cancer with sugar pills so they can keep billing us. Greece and Italy and Spain are still boiling. We’re going to see how socialism works in those countries. Unless, of course, we use American taxpayer money to bail them out, too.

Your screed overlooks the most important thing of all..
Very short sighted of you...

Generally the American people have become CORRUPT... in a hundred ways..
Therefore wants and requires and deserves a corrupt givernment..

America got what it wants and deserves..
Occams Razor demands you reconsider..
Barring CWII America WILL NOT be “fixed”...

Of course you could be a lazy self absorbed coward..
like the rest of the general public..

Obama is just punishment to a corrupt people...
75,000,000+ babies cry out from the dumpster..
many more being created today as we speak..
