That is why I am not a Republican, I don’t have to vote for their idiots

If the candidate cannot attract the votes to win, it’s their own fault. It is not my responsibility, it is the candidates job to deserve those votes. It is not the fault of the voter or the non-voter that the loser was a turd.

I get your disgust. I spent plenty to get a real Conservative nominated. One by one, their campaigns collapsed until Newt was left as the only Conservative alternative. He lost too, and we later found out that he wasn't such a Conservative after all.

In a way it is the voters' fault, or at least the voters' doing, that we got a RINO to run against Obama because that's who they voted for, because the attitudes in the US are shifting leftwards as we speak. If we want real Conservative candidates again, we're going to have to start trying to win Americans over to Conservative value values.
