What WE NEED are viable conservatives who run for office, conservatives to vote in primaries (instead of sitting at home griping about "hoping to find a 100% pure candidate" - like themselves, perchance?) and then dropping some cash in the candidate's coffers, yes even if 70% of the conservative population only gave $5.00 IF that's all they could afford, then working like Hell (as the dims do)to get out the votes and going to the polls to vote.
There's no mystery about winning elections regardless what the dims and RINOs say, it's about hard work and putting your money where your mouth is. Who cares if you donate $50 or $100 bucks or more and your guy loses, at least you've tried (and your candidate did too.)
The real problem with many, if not most conservatives out in the ranks - they won't pony up with any of their money to win elections. Oh sure, they'll drop the whatever to the Party but rarely donate to a guy with a conservative message. Then if the guy does win a Primary, DC RNC sends out some mod/lib to "manage" the campaign.
The candidate listens and obeys the "manager" and they lose. Big surprise!!!!
Good luck.
Special interest groups have taken control of the Republican Party as they control the Democrat Party.
These interest groups are so powerful and so well funded tht it is nearly impossible to counter them. Too many of the elected Republican office holders are unwilling to confront the Dems and shrink from traditional Republican views on many social and economic issues.
Its time to leave the sinking ship.
