Dear GOP-e and other bedwetters,
No, traditional America is not gone for good. Conservatism is not dead. America is not kaput.
No need for the hand-wringing or navel-gazing and for God's sake, no need for leftward movements. No compromise. No surrender. No gay marriage. No abortion. No amnesty. No gun control. No big government. And no tax and spend!!
If you wish to win elections you must energize the base. You must turn out the vote! You must run a clear pro-life, pro-family, pro-small government, pro-defense conservative who not only talks the talk, but walks the walk.
We lost this election for the exact same reason we lost the last one. Piss poor RINO candidates!
The tea party was the greatest thing to hit the GOP since Ronald Reagan and they refused to embrace it. Do not repeat the mistake in 2014, 2016 and beyond.
To hell with Karl Rove.
Support real conservatives!!
Go, SarahPAC!!

I've been doing some tactical thinking.
Ive been thinking about the road to long term victory and a return to a more traditional America and it seems to me that were so busy trying to take the castle that were leaving the marxist supply lines unscathed. We can take out the marxist at the top and another will be ready to take his place.
We have got to take control of education and end the production of new marxists. Pulling our kids out of the public schools is fine but it leaves the machine untouched and still pumping out new marxists. We also need to look at who built the machine, who maintains it and how to destroy their ability to do it again.
I wonder how many Americans went to the polls on Tuesday and gave any kind of priority to university boards of regents? These are positions that can cripple men like William Ayers who created much of the marxist indoctrination of our teachers that was and is then carried to the pre schools all the way back to the universities.
Here in Michigan I voted for tea party republican Rob Steel for 1 of 2 seats on the university board of regents. Steel finished 3rd meaning that two former union reps took the two positions. Unfortunately only a fraction of the people who voted for Romney, voted for Steel and most will say Who? if I say it today. Virtually every single state level education position went to democrats because we didnt care enough about those races to bother voting in them.

Conservative positions cannot be championed by RINOs. They simply don’t believe in the same things we do.

What greater weapon is there to turn an enemy to your cause? To use their own knowledge against them.
Top Down, Bottom Up, and Inside Out.
Have Van "I need to be pushed in front of a moving train" Jones think about how we used that against him when he is set adrift on an Ice Float.

Amen, Jim! Never surrender! We need a real conservative again, someone of Ron Reagan's ilk!

I am part of the base. I told my husband Romney lost because he lost the base. Hubby tried to argue, but it’s true.
There was no bumper sticker on my car because he did not earn a spot there. I did not doorbell, I did not make phone calls, I did not put up signs or spend hours putting them together. I voted for Romney, but just imagin how much effort I would have put in for a conservative candidate.
I did more for Rick, Rick, and Newt in the primaries than I did for Romney in the general. Are you paying attention GOP?

I'm not sure about you, but it took a few days for me to start looking at last week's loss to the Obama team with a clear head. Heck, I'm still reeling to a certain extent, mostly because like you, I see more bad times ahead for the nation we love. This afternoon I decided to look at some numbers. When I did, things started to look quite a bit different than what I thought they would. I don't think I'll be alone in that, once others see some of the things I noticed.
Starting on Wednesday morning last week, we saw a whole lot of people telling us what the election meant to them, and of course we were supposed to buy into it. Yes, even Carl Rove... LOL
One thing I noticed, and I'm sure a lot of you did too, is that what we were supposed to glean from the election, were views the person speaking held prior to the election. Democrats saw clear messages their views were now the consensus among U. S. Citizens at large. RINOs saw clear messages that their views were now the consensus among U. S. Citizens at large, and thus should affect Republican policy into the future. And sadly, Conservatives were so demoralized, that they were open to these OPINIONS.
This was the most demoralizing aspect of the whole election to me as a Conservative. We feared we were now cut off from the electorate, never again to make sense to the majority of our fellow citizens.
Was that true?
I looked back at election figures through 1952. These sixty years of election figures, provided some interesting points to ponder.
I'll point out some figures, and tell you what my take-away is. Perhaps my take-away will make sense to you. Perhaps not.
Points:
1. Obama's policies and give-aways were so popular, we will never again be able to win elections.
If this were true, wouldn't you expect the masses to pour into the streets to re-elect Obama again? Is that what happened? No it is not what happened. Obama's popular election votes went down by 10.51%. His policies, actions, in-actions, and give-aways couldn't even purchase the vote he garnered four years earlier. HIS POLICIES were the ones rejected. Our weren't!
2. The electorate was so put off by Republican policies, they fled the party in significant numbers.
The Republican ticket in 2012, received 1.88% less votes than the ticket did in 2008. While that can be seen as unfortunate, it is by no means a massive rejection of Conservative values. And both the Democrats and RINOs are buying into the loss as a reason to move Left, placate the illegals, and abandon our 'social' values across the board. There is no mandate whatsoever to do this folks. Don't sucker for this line. It's a lie.
It is generally accepted that it is hard to unseat an incumbent. This year the media shilled for Obama on a par unheard of even in the Clinton days. What appears as a total refutation of our policies, is nothing more than smoke and mirrors.
With less than a swing of 180,000 votes in three states, Mitt Romney would be sworn in as our president in January. Does that sound like a figure that would cause us to rethink our entire belief system? Of course not. Stand your ground. Over the next month or two, the Democrats and our party leaders are going to try to sell us out.
Tell them to go to hell. No way! Fight them tooth and nail!
3. This is a bell-weather election. It signifies that Republicans can no longer win elections based on good values!
Folks, in 1964, Barry Goldwater suffered a tremendous loss to the father of the Great Society, Lyndon Banes Johnson. Unlike the 2012 election, it really was a staggering defeat, by a massive margin. It was seen as a total refutation of Conservatism. Giving away things, was going to prevent Conservatives from winning future elections. Goldwater won 6 vs 44 states and 52 vs 486 electoral votes. Conservatism was dead, right?
Before the next election, Johnson had announced he would not run for a second term. The Republicans won that election. And eight years later in 1972, the Republicans won 520 vs 17 Electoral seats, 49 vs 1 state, and 61.79% vs 38.21% of the popular vote. On a total vote of 76.3 million that year, we won by 17.995 million votes. On 120.962 million votes last Tuesday, Obama won the popular vote by 3.351 million. He won 26 of 24 states.
We must keep things in perspective. We cannot capitulate on our values. To do so, would destroy this nation.
We suffered a set-back. This nation is by a razor thin margin leaning to the pander-party right now. It barely needs to change at all, and we win again. Understand this. Believe it! Repeat it! Remember it! We barely lost.
