The problem is expecting a party that nominates a conservative presidential nominee , once every 150 years , to be more conservative.

We are the Einstein definition of insanity.

I assume you mean Reagan—who was nominated twice. I think that you may be undervaluing Coolidge, Taft, and Goldwater as he was in 1964. I would say “once every 30 years or so,” but otherwise agree with your conclusion.

Sooner or later this is inevitable. We are going to have to take on the GOP establishment, defeat it, and send it the way of the Whigs.

Are the stakes just too high to do it in this election? That’s the decision we all have to make.

The problem is "expecting" a party instead of BEING the party. Too many people expect others to do the work. Everybody here needs to ask themselves these questions.

What did I do to help get conservatives elected? What did I do to help get a conservative nominated? Are you happy with the answer to that? I'm not. Romney won my state. I tried, but I could have done better.

no there IS a difference. The tea party brought the conservative cream to the top. Finally the squishy moderates are scared of losing their power in the party.

This abandon all hope is the same old same old. I expect a string of evolution/creationist junk threads coupled with a string of opuspaloozas as mere troll fodder.

Oh and I forgot the evil mormon threads.
