Most of the people who left under fire from the MSM and GOP-e never got a chance to try to get much in the way of votes. Cain was out after, what three primaries? Maybe five or so for Perry? 40+ states worth never got a chance to vote, did they?

The GOP-e were sent a clear message from Conservatives after 2008. They ignored it. but it is the Conservatives you hold to account. Not once have you said anything but it's our fault for not taking it in the shorts and liking it.

You claim that you criticize anyone who indirectly helped -O- but continue to ignore the party the set up this situation. They keep the primaries open in the states. They send out attack dogs at any conservative candidate. They even cooperate with the liberals in assassinating the characters of the conservatives running. They leave TEA Party backed candidates to whither on the vine.

About 3/4 of the Republican primaries had about as much choice as Cubans do in their so called elections. But hey, they got to vote, right?

Maybe five or so for Perry?

Rush Limbaugh was a Rick Perry supporter. Rick Perry took himself out when 1) His preacher went on Fox and bashed the Mormons. 2)His terrible debate performance.

They leave TEA Party backed candidates to whither on the vine.

Rick Santorum went all the way to the end did he not?

I'm sorry your guy didn't make it to the end. FR had big ads denouncing Romney on every post. Remember that? Everyone was attacking his religion. Preachers were getting on TV and saying all kinds of unkind things about him and his faith. The left were attacking him over his dog, his money, his career, his wife's clothes, his Son's lack of military service...

But he didn't give up and quit like everyone else did. But, in the end the responsibility lives with the voter.
