The stunning 2010 midterm election victories happened because a conservative opposition loudly and vociferously convinced a majority of Americans that ObamaCare would be harmful to them. And then that fantastic engine of change was packed away and replaced with political consultants who were all focused on seizing the center and offending as few people as possible. But you don’t win political battles by being inoffensive. And you don’t win elections by avoiding conflict. Is it any wonder that the 2012 election played out the way it did?
How can you argue with that? One election was dominated by the GOP rank and file, while the other was dominated by GOP royalty.

Time to start that third party. I know, I know...but, the GOP elists guarantee defeat. Change has to start sometime. Why not now?

You can't, but Romney got about 2.3 million fewer votes that McCain (The One was down 9 million). Who stayed home, GOP rank and file or Royalty? Stupid decision either way. A shame they stayed home.
