“Because you guys keep missing the point, the purpose in withholding our vote from Romney is to discipline the GOP.”
The GOP does not select the candidate. The voters do. The problem is the cross-over voted and the poorly informed voters who listen to the MSM saying “Front-runner xyz” until he is the front runner. Then, the MSM turns on him when he’s the candidate and backs the Demcrats.
That’s BS and you know it. The GOP establishment selects the candidate with endorsements, with media exposure, with MONEY which the establishment has and the voters do not.
With these huge levers of advantage, the establishment has defacto veto power on who gets the nomination. i.e. they could have barred Romney as being too liberal and controversial. They’ve done it before with others. But they did not do that, so what does that tell you.
It tells me that a. They do not care about what conservatives think and b. they are morons who don’t understand what it takes to be “electable”.
Simple fix. All primaries within 30 days of each other and closed. The NE RINO’s keep getting to choose our candidates. By the time we vote here in Texas we don’t have much of a choice.
Stop giving money to party, give to candidate(s) you support.
