Blaming conservatives and the TP?? Hmmmm.....
I blame the GOP establishment and their Corleone tactics, the media, Hollywood, so-called “independents/moderates”, and so many blind and ignorant sheeple out there.
I also blame the mormon cult in their blind identity-politics support of Mittens, without whom he wouldn’t even be in the picture now.
In the end, though, if either Romney or Obama get elected, then America deserves it, and restoring her short of a second civil war or violent revolution would be a lost cause.
The Tea Party has good intentions, but it hasn’t been able to coalesce effectively at the national level. In 2010, they bested the GOP establishment in numerous nomination fights at the statewide level, showing a canny ability to back a single conservative candidate to go up against the candidate pushed by the GOP. Some were unsuccesful in the general election, but most of them won. And it left the GOP establishment shell-shocked. Had the Tea Party been able to rally around a single candidate at the national level, we wouldn’t be having a debate over whether Romney or Gingrich is the least repulsive choice. I’m not saying that the Tea Party won’t mature into a national force at some point in the future, but it’s too late for this presidential election cycle. They’ll have to focus on pushing candidates for congressional and statewide offices and back, however reluctantly, whomever emerges from the GOP presidential primaries, no matter how distasteful that choice.
