Based on what the ‘leadership’ has done recently (folding like a lawn chair on every damn thing coming down the pipe), exactly how ‘banding together’ would have been any different??

The GOP would still not have the Senate and these ‘problems’ would still be on their plate. So nothing would still get ‘done’, the media would still be blaming the GOP and the GOP would still be bending over for their ankles ‘cuz they were called bad names. There’s no real fight to reduce ANY part of gov’t coming from the GOP; no real plan (oh, the 5/10yr. models...SURE).

I’ll even contend, w/ the CT shooting, Mitt would be on the forefront for new gun laws and possibly even another AWB bill. So, again, what difference would it have been??

I can’t say that what you bring to the table is inaccurate. Mittens was a lib as well. However, I still believe even with the media in the tank we stood a better chance of folks like Rand Paul and Ted Cruz having a bigger voice because we(us) would have had a bigger voice, liberal media or not.
We would have been bolder and more outspoken if we were to win. The crybaby speaker of the house would have caught crap a bit louder everytime he screwed up. As it stands now, I am done with Parties. Best to stay “neutral” on paper.

But alas, not to be....can’t keep whining over “what could have beens” and best to work with the reality that we are in.

Hillary is ready to run in 2016. If the GOP nominates another loser for POTUS the US could be ruled by a "Government Party," Like Mexico's PRI (the oxymoronic name in English would be the "Institutional Revolutionary Party"), which ruled Mexico for 71 years.

But even a talented conservative might not be able to overcome the ignorance/apathy of voters. Especially after amnesty.

The mood at FR has changed since just before the election.
