“Notice that the New York Slimes still could not resist calling us ‘insurgents’ and ‘rebels’. Lol they are so predictable.”

Well, in a way we are. We are standing up the GOP establishment. The same establishment that gave up Romney. I just wish we “insurgents” had of stood up sooner before Romney and his GOPe buddies could steal the primary process and give us the Republican Obama as candidate.

I'm a hardcore Conservative. Romney was NOT my 1st choice or my choice at friggin' all. But, Romney and the GOPe did NOT do this to us. We, the Conservative wing of the GOP, did this to ourselves. We ran 5 Conservative candidates against one Moderate. The Conservatives could not coalesce around one candidate. So, they devoured and destroyed each other (Not so much Newt or Herman, but Michelle, Rick and the kook, Ron Paul) and Romney became the "plurality" nominee. If early in the Primary Process, if they could have come together and joined forces behind one candidate, even if they had to draw straws, Romney would not be the nominee. But no, none of their friggin' egos would allow that to happen. Maybe we learned a lesson this time around and won't let it happen again. But then again, probably not. We are our own worst enemy.

Good morning! I know what you mean. I think we did stand up but the establishment diluted our vote with so many conservative candidates to split our vote. It was planned all along. Hopefully, next time we will choose our own and only one!
