True! “GOP Electorate” does not equal “Conservative Voter”. Unfortunately, the point of view of most Freepers and/or the Tea-Party base is (apparently) a small minority of the overall GOP electorate. Doubly unfortunate is that it appears the majority of the GOP electorate will readily vote for whoever the GOP-e/MSM tells them to vote for.
Open question to anyone who has any ideas: I highly doubt this election will turn out in in any satisfying way for the conservative base so, looking ahead to future election seasons, how do we turn the GOP electorate around in our favor? I haven’t a clue, but it must be done...
