Establishment Republicans ever anxious to hold on to power, and the establishment media, are going to blame “the Tea Party” and “radical” conservatives who voted for principled small government constitutional conservative candidates in Republican primaries for the election disaster of 2012.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Governor Romney won the nomination by spending tens of millions of dollars knee-capping his conservative opponents in the primaries and then handed the election to Obama because he and his campaign team spent most of the campaign mired in the establishment Republican folly of trying to win by standing for nothing.
From conservativehq....my thoughts exactly expressed
The electorate is not conservative. Not like people here are at the very least.
Establishment republicans truly only care about winning and they will always only care about winning because otherwise they won’t survive. Whatever survives ends up the establishment.
People here need to stop blaming other people and start taking responsibility for not convincing enough people of conservatisms correctness.
This is laziness. We are just whining and hoping others will do the work of convincing the population. That is basically how we will always lose.
If this is the opinion year after year no matter how small the percentage of people in this country who actually work (which has been shrinking for decades) every year conservatives pretend that all would have been great if we nominated a conservative.
Grow up. Take responsibility and start dedicating your life to convincing people until we can get a critical mass. Otherwise tell yourself whatever you need to tell yourself to feel good while conservatism fails for want of demand.
