The Republicans had this election to lose, depending on how they played it.
The message "We don't need conservatives" was heard loud and clear.
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

What JRandomFreeper Freeped.
You work within the party to further conservative principles, as the Tea Party has been somewhat successful in doing. Taking your marbles and going home is not constructive and simply helps the ongoing socialization of America. To say that Obama and Romney are exactly the same is patently false. Romney is not against the free market like O.
RIGHT ON JOHNNY,RIGHT ON.
That really isn't the case. the ‘conservative’ vote was split between Gingrich and Santorum. Also a fair amount of Conservatives decided that Romney was the best choice to take the election and deny O’Bumbler a second four years of destruction.
The votes for many, such as yourself, are virtually meaningless. You live in TX. Romney will take TX with or without your vote, it is unimportant in the grand scheme of things.
You have the luxury of voting your conscience and being high and mighty.
Those of us in a state like OH, VA, WI, PA, FL, NC & IA don't have that luxury, our votes are serious and they count. In NC O’Bumbler took the state by a couple thousand votes. He could do the same in any one of the swing states.
Do what you like in CA, TX, IL, RI, NY or the host of other uncontested states.
Please, Do not deter those of us from doing the right thing and voting the jackass O’Bumbler out. A little less tub thumping would be appreciated by those of us who have to do the actual lifting.
Welcome to Free Republic.
Huh? They guy's been a member for 12 years.
