“What do the election results mean to conservatives?”
It means we have to get the Democrats on board against Infanticide. The rest will be easy.
We did everything the RINO way this year, exactly the way the "moderates" wanted it, down to the last mewled syllable of their squishy, mealy-mouthed sock puppet's last apologetic campaign commercial.
The campaign "advice" offered up by these electoral dullards is, demonstrably, worth precisely jack squat. "Money talks, bull***t walks."
Then why were the only conservative candidates in the GOP primary dead on arrival even in the most conservative states' primaries? The fact that there were no nationally well known conservatives in the race was no doubt one reason, but RINOs such as Romney, Giuliani, McCain, etc, dominated the primaries in even the most conservative states such as SC and got all the media attention from day one. That was not because anyone actually believed that ANY of the front runners were conservatives, it was because they got all the media attention and all the campaign money and no conservative got anything but a media blackout. Who was financing those RINOs? It wasn't a fairy godmother so it must have been people who wanted a RINO nominee who would once again graciously lose to a liberal Democrat after being trashed in the general campaign by the same media that worked so hard to get him nominated.
Duncan Hunter was not well known outside his CA district and the media made sure he stayed that way until he dropped out, but no one can tell me that he wouldn't have been a much stronger nominee and a much harder-hitting campaigner than McCain if he had gotten sufficient financial backing and media attention early in the primaries. As it was he was virtually ignored and shut out of the contest by the media, who of course wanted another RINO loser to destroy after playing a major role in getting him the nomination.
We can't do much about the tactics of the media, but we can reject who they choose for us to nominate. IMHO the botom line is that if conservatives are ever going to nominate another conservative and win another election we have to reject the media's choices and back a real honest to God conservative in the primaries, not just vote for whichever RINO loser the media chooses to receive it's blessing during the primary season and then trash after the convention.

What the election results mean is that America has decided to commit political and social suicide. End of story.
You forgot the most important - No More George Bushes
For once I agree with Jesse Jackson, “Stay Out Of Da Bushes.”
“If it doesn’t end up killing us, it should make us stronger.”
Not necessarily.
“What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger” only applies to people who MAKE that statement true. We will get stronger only if we work at it, and if we get rid of the weenies and moderates in leadership positions who have taken over the party.
The media will not ignore any candidate who in the nine months between Election Day 2010 and Labor Day 2011 raises at least $50 million. That’s $250 each from 200,000 conservatives who are active, early and engaged. Can we do it? We certainly couldn’t come within ten miles this time around. We’ll see how much Obama moves to next time.
“Obama got a big slice of the conservative vote
I call BS!!!
I am not going to sit back and listen to these lies for one second!
Prove it — or STHU!”
There are those conservatives who believe the crash was imminent no matter who held the WH. They will say let Obama, Reed and Pelosi take the heat. I do not believe that the number is as high as ten percent as has been reported.
I would have never voted for Obama. I was until Palin joined the ticker NOT going to vote for president. I’m in TX so my vote was not going to make any difference as McCain easily won here.

Hussein Obama will NEVER be my president.
This election was stolen by a Muslim/Marxist who had the power of millions of dollars worth of illegal campaign funds, the most powerful black radical racists, Muslim terrorists and America haters on the globe behind him.
He won’t bask in the glory of his victory in peace. We intend to go after him:

Spot on. Purge the squishy-in-the-middle moderates, recruit brave new leaders who operate on principle instead of seeking to be liked, organize intense, unrelenting opposition to that Marxist thug, establish strategy, tactics and contingencies, deploy a ground game that would make an armored division blush and crush your opponent. Keep your powder dry and pray the cretin does not step over the line and imperil the republic.
Right on Kent. At every primary season the so-called "moderates" persuade conservatives that if we will only nominate a RINO moderate we will win over the mushy middle voters and everything will come up roses, and every time we fall for it all over again just as though it had never happened before.
If this debacle doesn't teach us anything then it's hopeless, because nothing could be clearer that this one, conservative Republicans win and RINOs lose.
Why anyone with less than one third, or even half of the vote commands ALL delegates is absurd and designed to screw the voters.
The way they've been huffing and spluttering their worthless blather over these boards, the past few days -- "Now, here's what you stupid conservatives ought to do next time," blah blah blah -- you'd thibk they'd actually won this last time out, or something! ;) Crazy! Absolutely delusional!
“thibk” = think.
You are absolutely right. I have an idea why McCain didn't. He is still a Senator, unlike Dole he didn't resign. He didn't want to insult his buddies in the Senate when he goes back in there after his loss.
This election was one big media drama, the outcome was fixed from the start and I think even John McCain knew it.
When the Obama-bots turn into the Obama-conned, that's when the real fun begins. The liberals haven't been mugged yet. What goes around, comes around. Wait.
Study your opponent, if we fail to do that we are doomed to be the mini minority. Pay attention to their grassroots ground game, fund raising, their party discipline. The present approach is not working. Our next nominee will be Male, same age as his opponent, attractive, great communicator, resume that will show his opponents that he is not to be taken as an intellectual lightweight. Read Art Of War and Rules For Radicals, fight to win!!!!!!/Just Asking - seoul62.......
McCain didn’t argue, he asserted. I think he never understood the arguments — which is why he never got the redistributionism issue, & probably still sees it only as a political issue, not a real one.
Interesting... isn’t it?
