It’s also amusing how the most liberal Republican Senator, Scott Brown, lost his election, yet somehow increased liberalism is still deemed the path to electoral victory by the establishment RINOs. These are people with an agenda and a bias stuck in their heads. Reality doesn’t affect their opinions one way or the other. Notice how they set out to destroy Todd Akin by removing his funding and criticizing him publically, yet they don’t blame themselves at all for his loss.
The bottom line is if social conservatism is removed from the party platform, a third party will form very fast. And then the Republicans will never win an election again. The Democrats may win for a while, but the third party will never capitulate to the Republicans and will be content to wait years if they have to until the tide turns their way.
Indeed. By liberal RINO dreams, both Scott Brown and Mitt Romney should’ve won their elections in landslides. Without social conservatism, there is no fiscal conservatism. Do we really need 2 liberal parties? The diehard libs are going to vote Dem no matter what.
