We lost that battle before any primaries took place. The party faithful bought into Bush hook line and sinker.
We didn’t have Gore or Kerry to battle early on. We had our own guys like the RNC, Rove, Card, et al.
And then we had our own party faithful who had been raised supporting the party no matter what. And these days, we simply cannot count on that any longer.
The elites are selling us out on every issue. I’ll strike that a bit, in that they actually stood up against new gun control measures, but that is basically the single bright spot of the last five years IMO.
Where is the Conservative voice of America hawked by someone who wants to lead us?
Some folks talk a great game, then sell us out on vitally important issues. First one guy then another reveals themselves to be ‘closet confused’. (not to be confused with the homosexual connotation) These folks just don’t get it, and sooner or later they reveal themselves. It’s just demoralizing to the max.
No inference is intended here, so don’t read that into it.
Many of us were raised to follow the party line. When you note where that has gotten us, it’s obvious that policy failed us miserably.
Man we are of one mind.
