However, the conclusion that a third party is out of the question is not a healthy alternative for America's future. Just as it wasn't back in the 1850’s. Right now, the GOP still needs to do a lot of work, but there is no guarantee that the war between liberalism and conservatism will be settled anytime soon.
One thing is for sure. If the GOP wants to have any success in the near term, it must get away from moderate-centrist-liberal political policies and embrace conservatism, federalism and the Constitution. There is no room in the GOP for leaders from the center-left. That includes your precious Mitt Romney.
You can keep believing you have some history of my beliefs, but every time you call Romney “my precious” you show your ignorance.
Anybody who actually read what I wrote would know that I never supported Romney out of a love for Romney. We can argue over why I was willing to vote for Romney, and about the things for which I defended him, but that was about ideas, not about a person.
I find all the touchy-feely stuff pretty much humorous.
