So you think you can just keep on nominating more Sharon Angles and Christine O’Donnells in the blue and purple states?
This is a recipe for obliteration. I am a conservative but I want no part of it. The result will be more liberal Democrats, and we will all suffer.
O’Donnel and Angle were flawed candidates.
But the only recipe for obliteration that concerns me is the one that has essentially destroyed Constitutionally-limited government in the United States over the past century. So, other than conceding the point that flawed candidates don’t help either, your other arguments are simply irrelevant.
“So you think you can just keep on nominating more Sharon Angles and Christine O’Donnells in the blue and purple states?”
Absolutely. And it’s not a recipe for obliteration; it’s a recipe for an America where anyone to the left of Rush Limbaugh is seen as a ridiculous, lunatic-fringe moonbat...which, after all, is only accurate.

Florina and Whitman are as “Moderate” as you can get.
Last I checked, they did not fare any better than COD and Angle.
Let me tell you a short story...
A customer needed a complex part that was made by only one manufacturer. That manufacturer kept jacking up the price year after year, because they were the only game in town. After putting up with this for years, the customer intentionally lost a great deal of up front money—more than several years worth of buying the part from the first manufacturer—to try and create a second source. Shortly after, the original manufacturer invested even more to improve the quality of their part and reduce its production costs, thereby giving the customer a better item at lower price.
Moral of the story: RINOs will continue to sell you crap so long as people like yourself “want no part of” making them risk losing your business.
You want us to nominate only people that the media will molly-coddle?
I say we can nominate whoever we will, but if the leadership is going to stand idly by while candidates have every dirty trick in the book pulled against them by the media, then we will NEVER get anybody except the ones the media anoint - and that will NEVER be anybody who fights the media-DC cabal. They are the enemy. As long as they are in bed with each other and our so-called leaders are content with being part of that cabal, we will get crap, period. There will be no accountability, and with no accountability elections only decide the name of the person who will screw the voters.
See, the thing that has made America exceptional is our Founding Fathers’ understanding of human nature. Power corrupts. The only way we can have anything besides tyranny is if we limit power. That cannot happen when the media is in control of information dissemination to most voters and is in bed with the crooks who hold absolute power over us. That is a cabal. When you throw in the fact that law enforcement is basically appointed by the same crooks who make the laws, what you end up is a system with no checks and balances.
When you have checks and balances it doesn’t matter whether you have dems or repubs in power, because they can only go so far before breaking the law and Constitution and being stopped by law enforcement and the checks and balances.
IOW, we don’t need Republicans in power. We need checks and balances restored so that the worst either dems or repubs can do to us is what is allowable by the Constitution. If that is the worst anybody can do to us, then we don’t need to fear dems OR repubs, and we can get back to arguing about SMALL things, not about the very continued exitence of the country as we know it.
The only way we are going to get away from this polarized existence is when the USA becomes a Constitutional republic. If we have to debate whether we have checks and balances and a Constitution every time a new vote comes up, then this country will be torn apart at the seams. We can’t reinvent the wheel every election cycle. Until the communists and Islamists are willing to let America be - and remain - a Constitutional republic rather than trying to re-form it into something totally different, we are a nation engaged in a civil war. A nation divided against itself cannot stand. The Lord said that, and it is absolutely true.
If we don’t settle this once and for all - in spite of the communists and Islamists trying to take control of all the infrastructure in this country - then this nation is just waiting to fall (which is what both the communists and Islamists are aiming for anyway).
We are WAY past the point when dem and repub matters. What matters is whether America can be a Constitutional republic. If we don’t have the rule of law, and if the media-government-law enforcement cabal isn’t somehow made accountable to the people and the rule of law, then America is ripe for the picking, and we’ve got communists and Islamists both within and outside this country salivating as they watch us in our death throes.
Anybody who doesn’t understand that is not worthy of being elected. There’s a time when we can afford to be petty; this is not it. This is a time when our very existence is in jeopardy. Serious candidates for serious times. Candidates who recognize where we’re at and know how to shoot when the enemy lunges at our jugular.
