There were millions of missing conservative votes on Election Day 2012 and Mitt Romney was defeated. What did the GOPe blame it on? No enough freeloaders and brown people in the party. Honestly, they are terminally stupid.

And they will be surprised again when conservatives refuse to vote for those who vowed to “crush the TEA Party.”

Has been a sad time for the Citizens of America and the People. Never thought I would witness the America of today in my lifetime and neither did we fail not to lose. Good thing is that America is still America and one has to wonder will Americans quit and stop trying to gain the attention of the people that lead by our votes? We might and that leaves only one remaining option. One which nobody in one's right mind would entertain or would we? I do not know but believe the reason for all the strife is a planned strategy. War is also a planned strategy. Too big to fail, FAILED

The GOPe has closed the tent flaps. No TEA Party voters for them.

The Big Tent has shrunk.

One word, corrupt. A given lobbyist (Chamber of Commerce?) gives more in one donation to a politician than a dozen Tea Party people. The math is simple.

A great problem with the war on drugs is that the more it succeeds the more it is doomed to fail because as it drives down the supply of drugs it drives up their price and makes the drug trade more lucrative thus inducing more entrepreneurs to enter the business.

A great problem with expecting Republicans to reform government waste, our Byzantine tax system, and crony capitalism is that the more they succeed the less they are needed. The modern incumbent politician is in the business of ameliorating problems for wealthy donors, he is not in the business of solving those problems for society. If he were to solve them, he would not be needed to come to the rescue.

The war on drugs fails because we expect the law to compel people to act against human nature. They undertaking to reform a corrupt government is hopeless in a culture that is itself corrupt and the culture of Washington is entirely corrupt.

The Article V movement has a chance of working because it is of a culture foreign to Washington, corrupt yes but in a different way, and with a different set of incentives.

“... the first woman president, the first Hispanic president, the first gay president?”

Well, I think we have the first woman president, Valerie Jarrett, and the first gay president, bath house Barry, and the first Hispanic president, Cecilia Munoz, already.

“Make nice, Mitch.” The typical patronizing attitude. The time for “make nice” is over. They either run and govern as conservatives or they lose. I’m tired of being insulted.

McConnell, Boehner, Graham, McCain.... all pitiful in their opposition to obama and contemptible for their opposition to Tea Party principles and candidates. If we could get four more like Ted Cruz we could really make some progress.

Not one dime’s worth of difference. Two wings of the same Socialist Uniparty.
