We got Mitt because the conservatives were and still are fragmented. We got outvoted in the primary, period. We don't control the pubbies because conservatives don't have enough votes. Heck we run people that agree with us eighty percent of the time off Free Republic because they are not pure enough. Note to conservatives this is not the way to gain the necessary votes to win.
Be that as it may, we lost the election IMHO because our candidate did not forcibly attack the dims. And what attacks might be appropriate? It is past time to call lifelong welfare recipients what they are: THIEVES. It is past time to call the mainstream media what they are: PROPAGANDISTS. It is past time to identify the democrat party as the party of VOTER FRAUD. We get voter fraud because we don't enforce existing laws and cannot/will not pass the laws necessary to protect the integrity of the ballot box. It is past time to call democrat run cities what they are: LAWLESS. And it is way past time to say so FORCIBLY.
It is past time to call activist courts what they are, DICTATORS. And it is way past time to provide support to freedom loving states by supporting NULIFICATION.
In short Pubbie leadership, it is past time to stand for something and tell the truth. What do you have to loose? Your methods and moderate ideas are not winning anyway.
You’re correct, we are fragmented and that’s why we lost. When we have ‘conservatives’ calling Santorum as ‘sir sweater vest’, etc. We deserve to lose.
The wisdom was that they could successfully ignore conservatives since we had to vote for Romney.
That - didn’t work out too well this election.
