It would be nice if conservatives realized that the GOP aka Republican Party has never been a conservative party. The closest they came was with Reagan, and he was fought by the GOP.

After Reagan, the GOP went back to republican politics. The Newt Congress victory was a Republican victory because Newt is a republican and is just paying lip service to conservatives to get a following.

What has he done in the last 18 years that is conservative? Plopping down on the couch for Cap & Trade with San Fran Nan, declaring the day of Reagan conservatism over?

Gingrich was by far not the first choice, he was settled upon and pumped up around here as something he never was and would not be if he could get elected. All a person has to do is go back about a year ago. He was deemed a big ole RINO by people on FR. Truth is, he was being your typical GOP politician at the time. He has had to put a hold on his Global Warming book to hide what he really believes. How disingenuous is that?

The closest we came in this race to a conservative was Michele Bachmann who was deemed to intense, whiny, and she wasn't Miss Sarah. Cain? who really knows how conservative he is. Perry? He couldn't keep it together from day one. He acted like he was running for Governor of Texas. St Rick? He could have beaten Romney, but Newt's ego was in the way and St Rick just talked about uterine matters.

And people are all bummed out because they are getting Romney?

You could see the train wreck coming at us at record speed.

Now it is all over but the crying and whining.

RE :”The closest we came in this race to a conservative was Michele Bachmann who was deemed to intense, whiny, and she wasn't Miss Sarah”

Looking back I like Bachmann the best of them all, I don't count Palin in this because she never intended on running, nor do I count any others who didnt run. Bachmann is the only one I still enjoy seeing talk on TV.

The ABBMR crowd pretty much abandoned Bachmann as 'unelectable' for Perry, except the die hard Palinistas who waited until she finally admitted she wouldnt run then jumped onto the Newt train believing he was blessed by her.. And he played it up as much as he could as the : “Misunderstood Non-establishment Reagan Conservative who Republican primary voters will choose.”

I never saw Newt as any more electable than Bachmann, and Romney will have his own problems beating Obama.
