The GOPe leadership is not interested in that energized base because it never wants what they want. They do not want to oppose the left, they just want to sound like they do in order to fool some cross section of the electorate.

I think we all saw that after 1994 and 2010. All we get are the back of the hand.

The GOP is not worth our vote and they shouldn't get it.

That is true, so hand it over to Obama & company? That makes even less sense?

As “moderate” as Romney is, I will bet any money he would not have raised taxes on any one in his 1st term.
