We lost the election because the base stayed home, for the most part. We need to run conservatives for office and stand by our conservative principles in social issues, not abandon them.
I am not sure that the base stayed home. That is a lame excuse to push third parties that have no chance what soever. The fact is 0bama stole the election. They might have skipped the senatorial election. There was no reason that we should not have gotten the majority, if not the super majority back if it hadn’t been for those who skipped it.
