This is going to take strategy and I see a lack of a sane strategy on FR.
There are idolators on FR who tear down every other candidate except their own. You should stop listening to them. There were plenty of adequately conservative candidates like Perry, Gingrich, Cain, etc. Each had various problems, but the key is that people who harped on those problems were doing that because they wanted a different candidate to the point of irrationality. Those people can simply be ignored. Argue for a conservative candidate and why he or she is conservative and leave it at that.
Give the people a clear choice. We need to run conservative candidates that live conservatism, not candidates that pretend to be conservative right before they're up for election.
What you have been touting on FR is a proven losing strategy. If conservatism isn't what sells, why do our more moderate candidates always pretend to be more conservative right before their elections? Why not let it "all hang out" and campaign as a liberal? Because it's a losing strategy, as we have witnessed.
Wake up!
>I agree with that but it ignores the questions of how do we get to fifty one senators because it seems to me that unless we get there, government is going to continue to grow and grow and grow because our side doesn’t have the will to try to stop Democrats.

If you will recall when Bush had a majority in both houses, Harry Reid et al screamed bloody murder about “fairness”, and “bipartisanship”. Invariably we would see more moderate “Republicans” caving in and siding with the democrat minority.
So, if you use strategy to elect any old moderate, in order to gain 51 votes, you are doomed to failure.
History is a great teacher.
