You are not alone in your feelings, believe me. I was willing to write off the '08 result as a kind of fluke. The country had been swung by the media into a frenzy of hate-Bush and hate-Republicans and Obama was there to capitalize on that sentiment. Not so in '12. People knew who Obama was and what he stood for, and they not only did not repudiate it, they embraced it. That has really shaken my faith in the electorate and the country. I knew the majority of the sheeple were incredibly intellectually lazy, but I had some hope they would see through their stupor enough to send Obama packing, but no dice.

Maybe it's just that I am older, but I am about ready to say I'm done with it. Maybe because in past defeats there was some rationale, some hope for the future. I lived through the Goldwater slaughter of '64, but I could see that at least we had some hope of picking up the pieces in '68 when LBJ went down the tubes, which I could see he surely would. Same in '76. The country turned to a loser like Carter as a response to Nixon and Watergate, and we had Reagan waiting in the wings to gallop to the rescue. I don't see that happening in '16. Who do we have to look forward to then? Hillary. That's too depressing to even contemplate at this point. Time to find the gulch.

The rank and file of the conservative movement must vigorously vet and run leaders! People who have conservatism and love for America running through their veins and who can express it - we have time to find, fund and run people like that. Money must dry up for those who don't represent us.

On November 14, 2012, newly elected U.S. Senator [Ted] Cruz [TX] was appointed vice-chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. He needs to hear from us. We need to show the people on Capital Hill that we aren't going to fool with the moderates but rather champion the conservatives.

I feel 100% the way that you do.

Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy, along with an order to extract REVENGE against anyone threatening them won the election.

I have no hope about anything anymore, I’ve given up.
