The GOP is nothing more than a group of people.
The only reason we can’t get a conservative nominee, is that WE in the Conservative movement can’t make up our minds and we are impossible to please.
If egotistical conservatives could swallow their pride and back ONE candidate, in the primary, we would not be stuck with John McCain or Mitt Romney next time.
It is the SPLIT caused by the grumpy, impossible, perfectionist conservatives that causes us to lose in the Primary contests.
Now? You want to take that same bad attitude and make it IMPOSSIBLE to win in the General Election?
“Now? You want to take that same bad attitude and make it IMPOSSIBLE to win in the General Election?”
I don’t have a bad attitude. The record is clear and dates back for many years - the GOP does not have the intestinal fortitude to effect the kind of change we need at this juncture of our history.
One can make a convincing argument that the Republicans really did not want to win the last two Presidential elections. McCain left a tremendous amount to be desired and Romney could have nailed obama on several key issues but chose to play it ‘safe’.
It is not an overstatement to say we absolutely needed a win this time. Everyone knows the left plays by no rules; they’ll lie, cheat, and steal to get what they want.
The Republican machine needed to act accordingly, but they wimped out again. As Mitt Romney said, ‘We deserve better’.
