This argument relieves the Republican establishment from all responsibility for nominating a clunk like Romney...

I am sick of whiney, spineless, self-professed conservatives repeating this LIE.

We, the rank and file control the nominating process. Romney was hated until perfectionist conservatives shot holes in every alternative candidate, one by one.

The inability to coalesce around a half decent conservative is OUR fault....not the party's fault.

Apparently you forgot about retroactive rule changes in certain primaries to ensure Romney was the [s]elected candidate.
I certainly wouldn't call that control of the nominating process.

Yup.

We on the right have an object obnoxious habbit of thinking that we are always the smartest people in the room, then we do stupid stuff in the primaries, splitting our votes, and then get angry when the RINOs win. That’s what happened in South Carolina.

And we call them the stupid party? What does that make us then?

Let's fix your claim with a direct statement from RINOmney...

BULL S***!!!

The GOPe goes out of their way to torpedo any conservative with half a chance, even when they win the primary. Your master, Comrade Karl Rove went on full attack mode when his perfumed princes lost back in 12’. Look at the way your GOPe treat Ted Cruz!

The bastards whose feet you lick paid for adds and robo-calls demonizing McDaniel in the Mississippi race. They distributed leaflets calling the TEA Party “Racist.”

Screw You and your GOP-progressive sucking friends!

Drag Cochran, Cornyn and McConnel into the street covered in tar and feathers; then we’ll talk!

I voted for candidates, not parties. Cornyn did NOT get my vote!

Sure...just like we control the vote...except that's crooked, too.

Do remember Einstein's definition of insanity, will you?

And consider my tagline...
