I really love Mark Levin, and perhaps even more I value Rush Limbaugh, who connected with many tens of millions of Americans because he echoed their own political hearts and principles.
But where were these guys when it was obviously time to say, "Enough!"? When Romney, a tricycle in the world of Conservatism just as surely as Reagan is a Cadillac, was presented not only as my wisest, but my only choice?
Rush and Mark were ... disappointing. What did they have to lose by speaking the obvious truth, which was that Romney was a functional Democrat so it had to be lunacy for Republicans to vote for him?
People knew it about Romney and voted (or declined to vote) accordingly.
I pray that either or both Levin and Rush acquire the stones to leave the Republican party behind in pursuit of uniting the limited government conservative Americans who make up at least half of this country today.
I also hope Levin & Rush trumpet the obvious: Democrats have to cheat because there are more of "us" than there are of them; they are a minority, mostly centered in the MSM, pop media, and a government-coerced education establishment, whose total projected image of America is distorted far to the left of on-the-ground people. Vote fraud confirms the image of "throngs of Obama/Clinton/Hillary/Etc. loving liberals" is an illusion. Such "throngs" at best a little more than a third of real Americans. Most of the rest are sick of excess government.
As long as the likes of Romney qualifies as "Republican" and is accepted as Republican by the likes of Levin and Rush, I see that sincerity has some other definition than the one I put to it!
It's HARD to go against the voice of the Powers That Be; but it can be done.
It's tricky to tiptoe through the mine field, but you can do it.
You have good points. I would say we got Romney because conservatives were fractured, just like we were when we got McCain. I think Lindsey made it because we were fractured. This election we must coalesce around a good candidate early or we will be rolled. Getting us to coalesce is like hoarding cats. I have not heard the winning message of freedom, prosperity, responsibility, and the superior society individual freedom and responsibility results in.
