One gets the feeling that the GOP-e care more about destroying the conservative wing of the party than winning the election.

This is why I don't buy that the GOP elites are upset with Romney. They wanted a liberal Republican to go after a liberal Democrat, and they spent a lot of money helping defeat the more Conservative candidates.

They can pretend to be upset with Romney, but they damn sure would have been upset with an actual Conservative.

No what is happening is the real conservative bench is lining up for 2016.

Romney will be plastered by the media. We’re already seeing what will happen to Romney. He won’t have a second term.

The real contest is for 2016.

Hillary and someone. Vs. some RINO establishment hero. Vs. Palin.

:D

The elites loved Romney, and I’ll bet that they ADORED the conservative purity tests that we were giving to all the more conservative candidates on the ballot. I remember far too well how we Freepers were trashing Perry on the border, and Cain on the tax plan, and Newt on his personal life. We were so busy trashing those who disagreed with us 15% of the time that we ended up with someone who only agreed with us 50% of the time.

And now, in the same way, we’re going to give up someone who agrees with us maybe 50% of the time in favor of someone who agrees 0% of the time.
