The people have to be held responsible as well.

This is exactly why, when conservatives sit on the sideline awaiting the 100% pure candidate, we damage ourselves. Election have consequences and this is one - the ability to select Supreme Court Justices who will sit for life. Look at the ages of Obama's picks - 55 and 61. They are not going anywhere for years.
Abortion, gay marriage, assaults upon Christianity... and we dare to sing God Bless America. Why would he bless us when we spit in his eye.
John Roberts was appointed by who?
And yet the Democrats haven't won at the state level, on the whole. The GOP now has historic levels of control over state legislatures and governorships. The same is true of the House of Representatives, and the GOP has a majority in the Senate.
As for 2024, I frankly don't see any third party gaining traction for the next half century. At least.
Pretty sure the USA is going to break up the same way the Soviet Union did.
So you think that things would have been different if only we had all voted for a candidate who was PRO gay marriage and PRO socialist healthcare?
Good.
“and ain’t nobody messing with THAT filibuster requirement”
The Democrats will when it suits their purposes, have no doubt about that.
That would make for a very busy and very bloody month.
“And yet the Democrats haven’t won at the state level, on the whole. The GOP now has historic levels of control over state legislatures and governorships. The same is true of the House of Representatives, and the GOP has a majority in the Senate.”
Oh yeah the Repub have the house and senate and majority of the state houses.
That’s good no we don’t have to worry about Obamacare or gay marriage or sideshow stuff like the confederate flag.
You seem to equate winning with some silly letter behind a politicians name.
I guess we better all support Jeb.
It’s unnecessary to use language like that.
Would Romney have done any better than the Bushes?
The people have to be held responsible as well.
Rah rah rah, we have elections, so the government is legitimate. Hahahahahah. Ha.
A GW Bush appointee gave the country ObamaCare and a Ronald Reagan appointee gave the country sodomite “marriage”.
If it wasn’t needed, I’d not have used it. Voting for the father of Gay marriage in America was a far worse offense.
Amen brother.....all those who whine and sit on their collective asses and stay home because their boy didnt get the nomination should be happy now......Own it.
“A RINO would have just nominated a liberal judge anyway!!!!”
You can’t trust these black robe power freaks. Justice Kennedy was appointed by REAGAN. Being in the supreme court seems to make you believe big government can do what it wants.
A quick reality check:
Yes elections do have consequences. I do not blame some Conservatives for sitting out 2012 because they thought Romney was “not conservative enough.” The sad fact is that these non-voters cost us the election.
It’s not that I don’t blame then because it was a stupid move, it’s just the reality that all the blame in the world won’t send Obama home early.
Any voter who could not see a difference between Romney and Obama had best surrender his 6th grade graduation certificate.
The worse part is that the radical liberals are setting us to do it again. Already disruptors on conservative websites are finding ways to disenchant us with every potential Republican candidate.
We could nominate the founder of the John Birch Society and the immediately the hue and cry would begin, “Oh, Heeees just a RINO!”
Here is the bottom line. Work our butts off to see an electable conservative is nominated. If he or she is not our favorite, then still vote for the more conservative candidate, because not doing so got us Obama.... and that is a shame.... because it cost us the election.
Next time it will be Hillary, or someone even more liberal... and that would be a worse shame... because it would cost us the country.
I write this not for you because you are misinformed and shallow.
I write this to remind that Romney was and is in league with Obama.
Nothing would be different had Romney won and arguably things could be worse.
The thing to remember is there was no real choice. Voting for either party means losing, means we are losers.
Can anything be done about it? Yes.
See my tagline.
