True. Conservatives have no one else to blame but ourselves. We couldn’t agree on the right person to lead and we couldn’t convince the best people to even run.

We can hate Mitt all we want, but he played his cards well and kept the conservatives split to get what he wanted. Just as we don’t want Ron Paul to go 3rd party I won’t vote 3rd party either. I’ll be stuck with our nominee—the lessor of 2 evils truly does apply this election.

Difference this time is we voted for Bush thinking he was a conservative, so he was able to lead the congress to the left. We know Mitt is no conservative so we will need to push him to the right and encourage our Tea Party congress to keep him to the right.

The most astute comment I've read on this forum in months. Thank you.
