“Yes it is, and I believe they (the RNC, GOP) are ignoring us...”
It is the voters that are ignoring your candidates, not the RNC or the GOP.
The “us” in your comment is in a minority, and has simply failed to attract the number of votes to get your political results into first place.
That stems from the FACT nobody has “Sold” conservatism to enough voters, as Reagan did so well.
And politics is much more than mind numbing repetitive posting of checklists and spreadsheets regarding favored issues, so as to disqualify one, after another, after another candidate.
Candidates must persuade through personal appeal, raise money, organize volunteers that perform. Those candidates most favored on this site failed on most of those counts, regardless of their checklist idealogic perfection.
Joe sixpack voter often decides simply based on who he likes and trusts. The hatred of McCain on this site is at odds with his high standing in national polls, and when considered against democrats.
I try to deal with reality every day. I liked Thompson best on issues, yet realized early on he was not making his case. On astute writer observed he used paragraphs to express that which needed to be said in a sentence.
Now Romney and McCain look the strongest, and I like that because I prefer either of them, to the other two.
In the end I will vote in my primary Feb. 5th, and will vote in the general for the Republican because I want a Republican administration, with advisors and cabinet members, because that is far superior to the alternative.
And I accept that such a Republican administration might be very imperfect, yet would be better than the alternative.
I have never had a favorite, and should it come to a “brokered” convention, rest assured those making the deals and tradeoffs will be seeking the best chance to win the election.
And that should be the highest priority, for it best advances conservatism, however imperfectly and incompletely.
