BS! Without the GOP, conservatives and the Tea Party are nothing.
This election was won though logistics NOT message.
The Tea Party was effective because it did not run a campaign, and did not compromise its message REGARDLESS what and how the media painted it as. The Tea Party simply got voters to the polls and did not worry about participating in the beauty contest that is rigged by the left.
This election was not about which message won in the free market place of ideas. The Media all but censored the message from the Right and instead was an active participant for the Left -assisting the Left in a propaganda campaign.
It was only with the first debate that Americans caught a true glimpse of what Romney was about -that glimpse was but a brief one.
The Left won by a combination of lying and strategic logistics that got useful idiot voters to the polls.
The Right would have fared much better IF instead of playing the unfairly stacked game it would have simply identified voters in key areas and hired people to get them to the polls,
