[Rational Thought]

The Romney campaign never even attempted to tap into the 2010 momentum of the Tea Party or Sarah Palin. Big mistake.

Was it a mistake....or by design?

Its been apparent for quite some time that those who run the Republican Party dislike Conservatives. Don't get me wrong, they want the Conservative vote and (at times) will say things which appeal to Conservatives. But, when the rubber hits the road, they are far more comfortable with their Liberal cousins.

I don't know if Gov. Huckabee is right or not in his reasoning. What I do know is since the 70's, history reflects that "Moderate" Republican Presidential nominees lose elections while those seemingly Conservative win. As this track record is certainly no secret, you can draw your own conclusion as to what the GOP actually represents.

Let's get serious here, since 1936 ALL the leftwingers who've run for President under the Republican label HAVE LOST, and the moderates have also lost ~ and all the non-social Cons have lost!

Most of the Republican canidates lost!
