But. But But we were told any thing could beat Obama. That is why Romney was forced on us. Next time we better get a 100 percent conservative like Santorum or Bachmann. I am sick of these twins of Obama being our nominee. People are obviously asking for a conservative but getting ignored.
Perhaps so, but evidently not enough to get a conservative nominated. As you note, we had dogs in the hunt this year, just like in '08. They didn't get the votes, for whatever reason. They lost. Sounds like the people asking for a conservative have to do a better job of convincing more people to support a conservative candidate. Whoever gets a plurality of votes in the primaries gets the nomination. Last I heard, that's how the system works.
It doesn't do much good to come in here election after election and whine about how lousy our candidate is, how "the establishment" (whoever that is) forced some loser on us, that we were cheated, blah blah blah. We should be mature enough to understand how things are. "The establishment" will listen to one thing: who gets the most votes in the primaries. That means your candidate needs money and voter enthusiasm, a strong reason for people to take time to get out and vote for that person. If they don't have that, they'll lose.
