Thanks for the discussion. I know some of this is rather pointed, but I'm not upset with you. I'm just frustrated by what we are continually faced with every four years. I want it to stop.

Thank you as well. It is unfortunate that conservatives who are ultimately all on the same side often can't seem to disagree reasonably over what amounts to a difference in strategy rather than a difference in principle.

I'm actually frustrated by those who chose not to run. He was not a perfect candidate, but Mitch Daniels was certainly more conservative than Romney, and right on all the issues even if he generally eschews red-meat rhetoric.

I'm just crossing my fingers that we make it to 2016 without things going beyond repair, when we'll hopefully have a much more conservative candidate.

I generally agree with that, but it's not entirely off base to question where some advocacies germinate from. If my perception is that a advocated policy might further the desires of Leftists in my own party vs the Leftists in another party, it isn't all that unreasoned to come to the conclusion that Leftists are still going to be the benificiary of that advocacy. That doesn't mean the advocate realizes the ramifications of everything his advocacy may support in the long run. And then again, it doesn't mean they don't.

I share some of that frustration, but we don't know all things about people. He may have a good reason for not wanting to run.

Frankly, I'd like to see a majority enter the Republican Convention this year demanding the whole thing be tossed out on it's ear, and someone new be drafted. IMO, that's the greatest most patriotic thing that Santorum and Gingrich could do right now. They should form an exploratory committee and come up with a strategy and some names. Sorry Newt, no way... You had your chance and it wasn't you.

Failing that, we have got to start a Conservative coalition that will end the Republican party's lock on the nomination process. It's past time for a civil war in the Republican party.
