IMHO, we have made a lot of progress. The Tea Party alone is proof.
The country has always been center right. Its just going to take a while to reinstall Ronald Reagan style conservatism again. But its in the works and will happen. Not soon enough for any of us but with the likes of Sarah Palin, Marco Rubio Paul Ryan and others we do have a future.
Lets not throw it away because we didn't get our way....again. We are the leadership of the conservative base, if we give up things only get worse.
Heard it all before, several times.
Thanks anyway and good luck.
Just reduce this to a simple logic problem Will voting for candidate X who is liberal produce a conservative president?
Will candidate X, who is as hostile to our values as Obama govern in a way that promotes our values?
Logically the answer to both is no. Therefore why continue to reinforce the party that produces Candidate X?
It’s going to collapse either way. Do you prefer it to do so with your ethics and morality intact or not? That’s the only real issue. As for me, if Romney gets the nod, he will do it without my vote as well. Blame the GOP for the loss.
