don’t expect me to be a part of it.

I don't expect you to be a part of it. In fact, I will do everything in my power to make sure you are not a part of it.

There was not one of the major contenders for the nomination that I would not have supported. Not one. Because I know that across this broad and diverse country there are differences as well as commonalities. That's why we have primaries. The candidates were vetted, probed and prodded. McCain came out on top. He wasn't the pick of te RNC, he was the pick of the people in the primary states, Northeast, South, Midwest and Southeast.

The objections that you had with McCain were nothing short of stark, raving lunacy. We can put up with some lunacy in exchange for support but when we get the lunacy and no support, we have a situation that calls for a parting of the ways. You are not going to sit out an election and then walk back in demanding the right to name a nominee. No, sir. Hit the road. There are other parties out there more suited to what you are looking for.

We have our Order of Battle and your name is not on it.

I don't expect you to be a part of it. In fact, I will do everything in my power to make sure you are not a part of it.  Be my guest.  You just got your ass handed to you, and now it's my fault.  You need to ask better questions.

There was not one of the major contenders for the nomination that I would not have supported. Not one. Because I know that across this broad and diverse country there are differences as well as commonalities. That's why we have primaries. The candidates were vetted, probed and prodded. McCain came out on top. He wasn't the pick of te RNC, he was the pick of the people in the primary states, Northeast, South, Midwest and Southeast.  McCain was the product of a primary process that has been set up to elect precisely the type of person the RNC wants.  If you can't grasp that, so be it.  The fact remains.  Early caucuses and primaries are able to be manipulated.  We don't get the good guys because the guys like McCain can suck all the oxygen out of the room.  Some primaries and Caucuses are open.  These things are easily gamed.  By the time most of us get to vote for who the nominee will be, they choice has already been made.  And it's made by as little as a few hundred thousand votes.

The objections that you had with McCain were nothing short of stark, raving lunacy.  That's the ticket.  We can't sell a closet liberal because for some unexplainable reason liberals want to vote for the real thing.  Then you come here to tell me I'm the problem.  Yes, if asking our nominees to adopt the core beliefs of Sarah Palin is stark raving lunacy, then you've certainly nailed me.

We can put up with some lunacy in exchange for support but when we get the lunacy and no support, we have a situation that calls for a parting of the ways.  Hmmm, well the only parting of the ways that I am interested in right now, is the parting of our party from the White House, the House, and the Senate of the United States.  You guys got the player you wanted.  You had to have him.  You defended his ass no matter what.  He got his chance to lead our party.  How did that work out?  You got your way, and you're still not happy.  It turned out just as I predicted it would over eight months ago.  Now you're the expert and I'm the person who cause trouble for you.  LMAO

You are not going to sit out an election and then walk back in demanding the right to name a nominee. No, sir. Hit the road.   You're a hoot.  You got your way.  You got our party's ass stomped at the polls.  And now you tell me that my objection to what you have just facilited for our nation, is unpatriotic and evil.  I'm sure the absurdity of your stance is lost on you.

There are other parties out there more suited to what you are looking for.  Yes.  And the one that is my favorite, can't find anyone more conservative than Dole, Bush, and McCain to run.  And what cracks me up, is that you actually have the stones to get angry with me because I want an actual Conservative to lead our party into elections.

We have our Order of Battle and your name is not on it.  Well, your order of battle sure paid off this time sunshine.  What amazes me is that you think driving folks like me from your ranks will improve the situation.  Yep, just find some more RINOs to get things back on track... right?

A disproportionate share of the power is given to a few beginning states, via the media template of "Momentum".

And those early states are NOT representative of the GOP as a whole, still less of conservatism.

Kyrie Eleison!
