Unfortunately, those not voting for Republicans are voting for Obama.

Bingo. I know people don't want to accept it, but we are set up for a 2 party system and that's it. We don't have the opportunity for coalition government. Our choices are Republicans and Democrats. Period.

Our ONLY real option is for Tea Party folks and movement conservatives to stay active in the Republican primaries and push the GOP further to the right. I find it amusing that people seem to think there was some magical time in recent memory where the GOP was somehow more conservative than it is now. THIS is as conservative as it has been in at least 75 years - and all because real conservatives worked together and voted in the primaries.

WOW! You are SO right about this!

I read these ignorant chants about how the Republican party is no longer conservative, and I say, What the heck are you talking about??

The 2010 election moved the Republican party as far right as it has EVER been. Reagan was a conservative President, but he did very little if anything to move the party to the right.

We Conservatives need to work our tails off to keep conservative candidates coming and making a difference in the Republican party.

As frustrating as all of this is, we finally have a real chance to make a real difference, and a whole lot of ignorant people are urging us to give up.

Well, I'm not doing that. I'm mad, but I'm not giving up. I'm determined to fight even harder to get more people who understand what the Constitution and the principles on which this country was founded elected in Republican primaries.
