The other reality is that Conservatives had better not repeat the mistakes of the past in 2010 and 2012.
The real battles will be waged in the Primaries, not the Generals.
All too often we do little to ensure the Conservative candidate is nominated, then complain that the candidate that is nominated is too liberal. Let's get off out butts now. Conservative candidates cannot win unless they are on the mainline ballot. 3d parties are a worthless dream. They only split the vote and allow the Dem in.
We need to work TODAY to get the Conservative nominated, not cry about who is. If Romney is nominated, he will be better than whoever the Dems run.... and he will be OUR fault!

I agree, except for the Romney part.
As proof I offer this: if McCain had won the election, would we have seen the Tea Parties?
If McCain had won the election, would we have gotten some sort of Universal Healthcare solution? Probably; it wouldn't have been as bad as Obamas, but it would have happened because McCain believes in compromising principles and big-government solutions. It would have further destroyed the GOP and enabled the Democrats/RINOs to move the US to the left for years to come with no organized fight from groups like the Tea Parties because it originated from the GOP.
If McCain had won the election, I can garantee he would have gotten Amnesty. The result being the complete disintegration of the GOP as the Independents, conservatives and small "l" libertarians left the party. Instead, Obama and team, with the help of the RINOs will attempt to push that through now with the result of further alienating independents, Republicans, and even some Democrats from the Demcrats and increasing our margin of victory come this November. Furthermore, we will get the added benefit of further cleansing the party of more RINOs come November because of their treacherous behavior on this issue.
If McCain had won in November, he would have been able to pass Cap-and-Trade, which he supported. Another nail in the coffin for the GOP because it would have originated with the GOP. Instead, Zero, the Democrats, and some RINOs will attempt to push this through once again alienating more of various voting groups.
Those are just some of the issues that are important today.
Mitt is the 2012 model of McCain. He believes almost totally in everything McCain believes in. A Myth Romney presidency would be just as devasting to the GOP, as shown also by his Governership and the devasting hit the MA GOP took, as a potential McCain Presidency would have been.
No Mitt, No Way, No How, Notever!
Not in the Primary, Not in the General.
