True ,
But Social Conservatives must learn to stop nominating crackpots that give away easy Senate wins like Akin, Mourdock and Angle did, or at least teach them they must not help Dems by saying stupid stuff.

Those give-ways to Dems were mortal sins. We gotta look at Reid’s ugly face everyday attacking Republicans on TV largely thanks to them.

Aside from Angle, there was no reason to believe Akin or Mourdock would lose. Look at the supposedly “safe” candidates we nominated: Mack in FL, Lingle in HI, Hoekstra in MI, Rehberg in MT, Wilson in NM, Berg in ND, Allen in VA, Thompson in WI, etc., all failed just as miserably.

Who was responsible for nominating Mitt Romney and John McCain for president. Are you going to try and pin them on social conservatives too?

sickoflibs: “...But Social Conservatives must learn to stop nominating crackpots...”

I don't necessarily consider all of the nominees you mentioned to be crackpots, but I'll admit they ran inept campaigns. Leftists and the media (I repeat myself), are going to come out with guns blazing (LOL) against any truly conservative candidate. Conservatives need to be prepared for that. We also have to be prepared to compromise a bit to move the ball to the right. I'm talking real compromise, where our guys propose big moves to the right but settle for something less. Compromise doesn't mean always giving the left half (or more) of whatever THEY propose.

How strangely like the meme; I like Sarah Palin, but.

How about being sick of losing for a change instead of being angry at God.

Get off it, the tea party and conservatives are delivering historic victories while the GOPe is losing to Jimmy Carter, and you collect years worth of names to pretend otherwise.

Just about every good name in the GOP right now, came from recent conservative efforts and victories, not the GOPe branch of losers.

Akin was a cook. He won in a three way race for the nomination. Sarah Steelman who was also a social conservative would have done better.
Mourdock was no crackpot. He was just inarticulate on the question of rape and frankly a effing retard for not having a good pat answer after Akin suicide bombed the GOP.

And economic conservatives need to stop nominating people like Romney who have no credibility on social issues, due to capitulations on so-called gay marriage and abortion.

Plenty of blame all around.

As soon as RINOs learn to stop nominating liberals like Mitt Romney, who give away easy wins against the worst President in American History, or at least teach them that they must not help Marxists by refusing to go on the offensive against them.

Your liberal rants and war against conservatism grows tiresome.

Economic conservative voters are the social conservatives, massively, and overwhelmingly.

You social liberals are massively and overwhelmingly economically liberal voters and democrats.

You need to be trying to move social liberals to the right, not trying to move the conservatives to the left.
