We had a Conservative ready to run that year but they wouldn't have it ~ they preferred to lose. The same thing happened in 2008 when the GOP-e selected the candidate. We had Conservatives ready to run, but they wouldn't have it.
Now we have another candidate selected by the GOP-e, and we still have a stable full of capable Conservatives ready to run.
There's this historic pattern you see ~ the GOP-e picks someone to go out to lose against the Democrat, then complains that the misbehavior of Conservatives was the cause of the defeat.
Which means, of course, that you and Kaslin and others who've gone over to the dark side ~ to Romney ~ to do the bidding of the GOP-e have SOLD OUT AMERICA AGAIN!
I haven’t gone to the dark side. I’ve never said I’ll vote for romney. I held my nose and voted for Ford. I did it again and voted for mccain. I can’t do it again.
I’ve been saying “third party” for years. If a third party had been formed in 2000 it would be a powerful force today. And the gop-ers always come on and say “Vote with us to change the party from the inside.” I say, “Why don’t you vote with US for a change.”
Finally, for those who say “that would give the democrats a majority in the house”. I say not if the republicans vote with the real conservatives.
