We didn't have a good field of candidates and we didn't unite behind one of the ones we had. If we magically created a FR Conservative Party tomorrow, I doubt we wouldn't split and fight and destroy each nominee again.

From the get-go I was willing to support Bachmann, Cain, Santorum, and Gingrich (though I strongly felt Gingrich needed a brilliant VP pick to appeal to the masses). I welcomed Perry on board and heard him out too. I can't be any more accommodating than that. I drew a line with Huntsman and Romney because they are progressives in our ranks, wolves in sheeps clothing. I refuse to unite behind any candidate that is better suited to representing the democrat party than the republican. And I think most of our frustrated FRiends here were on the same ride as I was ... watching the more conservative candidates get picked off one by one. Romney doesn't even belong on our team and he's still in the game. It's not his own money he's using to outspend the conservative opponents 10 to 1. Find the ones bankrolling him and you'll find the ones I blame for merging the republican and democrat parties into one big progressive tent. If that isn't the GOP-e, I'll be shocked. And for that reason, I do feel the party is the problem. Romney should have been one of the first to go, not the last, if the GOP still held conservative values.

Romney still could be beat by a unified opposition. Both in money and votes.
