At this point, only three opportunities remain for Republicans and conservatives.
1) For the Republican house to close ranks and not permit any more insanity from the Democrats. This may precipitate a recession by refusing to pass any more continuing resolutions to keep the inessential parts of the government functioning.
Obama and his bureaucracy can only run wild if they have the funds to do so. It is better that the government shut down than that they be allowed to do so.
2) Republicans should put their efforts into the mid-term elections right now, with their emphasis on capturing the senate, which will reduce Obama’s second term to two years instead of four.
3) Tea Party conservatives must put their foot down to the Republican leadership. Three times now, the leadership has foisted worthless presidential candidates on the party: Bob Dole, John McCain, and Mitt Romney. Never again.
In doing so, they have failed the party, but more so, they have failed the United States. Thus they have lost legitimacy as the leaders of the Republican party.
There, fixed it.
LOL "Boehner and crew" will fold like an accordion trying to appease the Democrats. They may whine a little but they want to be invited to the DC Parties just like everybody else.

..so please enlighten us as to which of the primary candidates could have done half as well as Mitt did...Gingrich? Couldn’t be elected dogcatcher. Palin? She might get 150 EV’s. Too shrill. Fumblemouth Perry? Santorum? Bachmann? The numerous close blue states (Virginia, Ohio, Wisconsin)would not have been so with anyone but Mitt running...
And don't forget, if 10,000 retired Jews could have figured out a butterfly ballot, G.W. would have lost.
Add Bush 41 to that list of limp wrists——he couldn’t keep his word either.
Agree. Great post. Hope there are people out there who think the same and can implement these actions.
I agree with your post, except for this:
>> the leadership has foisted worthless presidential candidates on the party
I don’t feel like anyone was foisted on me. I never liked the field that ran, and the one I picked of the bunch, not enough others - on here and elsewhere - wanted him to win either.
We need some good conservative candidates, but I don’t know who. I don’t blame the party or the leadership for that.
