You have to remember, this was a primary. Conservatives have to get the stage because the media will ignore them at all costs. That hasn’t change much. However the conservatives do get a lot of negative coverage 24/7.

They are supposed to go after each other on their records and such. If they didn’t, it would be no race.

If you are watching right now, they are all going after each other is big ways.

I don’t blame any particular one. I blame us. We are the ones who could have gotten behind a conservative running and built them up and supported them.

Until we do that, we are doomed to end up with a RINO type, or selecting who is the lesser of a RINO.

But with all that, I will support the nominee and work on getting rid of Lugar. I want Mike Pence to win the Governorship here. if I get at least 50% of what I want and 100% rid of Obama, I will take it, and do a lot of praying, of course. LOL

Sorry Indy I must totally disagree. Your thinking is old school thinking on primaries. The Democrats showed us in 04 and 08 that you sink the incumbent party and choose your nominee over WHO GOES AFTER THE OTHER PARTY BEST - NOT ON WHO GOES AFTER EACH OTHER THE BEST. What drove Bush's ratings into the floor was everybody in 04 and 08 (03 and 07) Dem Primaries running against Bush. Kerry and Obama won those because they ran against BUSH the best, not because they ran against each other the best. Now you are agreed with by many GOP strategists, but that doens' help your case. A primary race is THE OPPOSITE OF, not the same as, a GENERAL ELECTION ONE ON ONE. Just isn't.
