Conservatives are not going to defeat President Obama and the liberals until conservatives defeat the GOP.
The most important elections in our lifetimes are going to be the 2014 and 2016 primaries. The Tea Party and Values Conservatives (ie. GENUINE CONSERVATIVES) need to take over the GOP Establishment and throw every one of them out on their ear.
I am not sure what the implosion of the GOP will get conservatives. We need to scrape together a coalition of conservatives, libertarians, and religious voters to win elections.
Instead of destroying the GOP, we need to keep putting up great conservative candidates in primaries. However, we need to follow Buckley’s advice and select the most conservative candidate that can win. This is tough to do, and we will mess up sometimes. But, it is worth the risk of losing the general election to elect conservatives in primary elections.
